As much as I love Cthulhu, there is really no chance it could destroy the Imperium.

Timelords and Daleks could do it too, but people keep saying they don't count so...

What about the Elder Gods? Cthulhu, Yog-Sothoth and all those? Do they count?

Thomas Covenant and his ring?

Spoiler:

He almost destroys TWO universes without even noticing.

I doubt Zerg. Elder gods would be out-numbered by 40k gods so no. Definately Thomas.

Although Ravenor did collapse a parallel universe on his own just to trap a daemon.

They're able to create technology that allows near instant travel between systems, they can genetically engineer on levels far and above the Imperium. They can even create space stations in the Galactic Core. We can compare them with the Necrons on their tech level, and even why they exist (the old Necrons anyway). Every 50,000 years they destroy the dominant race in the galaxy. Sovereign says their numbers are enough to blot out the skies of every world.

I shall have to wait until Mass Effect 3 to make a better comparison on the Reapers, but based on what they've done, I'm not convinced they equal the technology of the Necrons.

No, but Yog-Sothoth could. Outer Gods are too much for 40k.

This is a joke right?

All human forces of chaos would Instantly succumb to being cultists of him.

The elder things would wreak Havoc.

Azathoth would just eat everything in the end.

Takes a true empire to defeat the Imperium..Gentlebeings I give you the..
TERRAN OVERLORD GOVERNMENT T.O.G.
(from the age of FASA)
A empire based on anicent ROME, and encompassing most of the milky way galaxy, with legions numbering in the millions and each legion itself numbering in the 10s of thousands.
Grav tanks armed with gauss cannons and huge laser cannons, with defensive shields.
Orbital Thor Anti-Tank Satellites, dropping 1000kg rods at incredible speeds with pinpoint accuracy.
Power armored troops with jump packs capable of rapid transit and orbital insertions.
4-6 km long warships in the 100s of thousands.
and all this wrapped in a organized and coherant government that can be as vicious and callous as required.

what the IOM could have became if the big E had not got stuck on the golden toliet.

Oh well I miss the old FASA games, had alot of style.

The Time Lords and Daleks would have a field day. Those guys had sway over time itself in the day, I don't think the Imperium has an answer to being removed from all of reality.

Star Trek would be wooped, but the Borg would put up one hell of a fight.

The Magog (from Andromeda) might do a fair bit of damage, but I doubt they'd win.

The fact is that the Imperium just has so many men that it can chuck at a problem untill it goes away.

1: Cthulhu awakens
2: Grey Knights teleport into R'lyeh
3: No more Cthulhu

I never said equal. The two are similar and can be compared on many levels.

this. Whos to say C'thulhu isnt the avatar of a minor chaos god?

Is it just me, or does that tank really/ look like a shoe from the side?

And I'd imagine the Reapers would amplify the Necrons (as they did the Geth), awakening them and being a huge scythe of destruction.

Cthulhu's head was popped by a boat.

A fething boat.

Granted, he was weakened, but absolutely anything Cthulhu has done could not be replicated by a Greater Daemon.

So while Cthulhu is fairly powerful, he could not withstand the full might of the Imperium of Man. Not even close.

Azathoth is a completely different story though.

I imagine Azathoth would be equivalent of one chaos god.

I'd have to seriously disagree.

The Chaos Gods are extradimensional beings formed by the emotions of a galaxy.

Azathoth is the Multiversal concept of Chaos who created all of existence by accident.

The Chaos Gods are not as powerful as you seem to believe.

I dunno, but I think Species 8472 would at the very least be an extremely painful fight

Marvel Zombies?

The Skrull Empire? Now the pathetic splinter that hit Earth after Galactus ate the rest, just to get curbstomped by Mar-vell, but the full-fledgedstrenght of the Skrull Empire at the peak of their technological development. Yes, including their perfect shapeshifting thing.

Marvel Zombies? Didn't they pin down Galactus and eat him, absording the Power Cosmic?

DOn't forget Kree as well then

According to Noh-Varr the Kree have a mathematical equation that disproves the existence of any deity, which is taught to all Kree around "the same time we learn not to soil ourselves with excrement"

Wait till the Imperium sees that. lol

Well, the Kree would be just overdoing it. I mean, have you seen what ONE kree did to the skrull armada in the Secret Invasion? And yes, Marvel Zombies have efectively eaten Galactus. They ate Galactus. They ate the guys that eats planets for lunch.

And one Zombie Galactus-ified Hulk isn't?

Maaaaaybe... Not if you consider we're talking about pre-Planet Hulk here, where he's just one big brute green berserker who wouldn't know how to use his new powers in any other way than "COSMIC-HULK SMASH!"

He was described as the Sultan of Daemons, which seems chaos-god ish to me.

And I don't really think the Chaos Gods are more powerful than they are, I think Azathoth is weaker than you think he is. Either way, matter little.
