Daemons! Who can rival them in the fluff? There's no way the chaos gods will be extinguished.

What army do you guys think we'll be the lady one standing?

Necrons.

When Mankind and the Eldar and the other sentient races have died off / wiped each other out, the warp will grow calm. With no souls or emotional energy to feed on, the ruinous powers will slowly fizzle out into nothingness.

The Phaerons of the Necron Dynasties will be like metal versions of Moorcock's Dancers at the end of Time, playing pool with stars and planets as the universe finally burns out around them .

Dark Eldar will be left standing.... on the shelves in Games Workshop - unless they get a proper codex and their named characters back.


Serious answer though, probably the Necrons AND Tyranids because the Nid's don't nom them and Necrons don't mind Tyranids hoovering the life out of the systems they inhabit, it's like a room cleaning service.

The necrons cash still be manipulated. That leaves tzeentch rolling strong.

And khorne will always toy with orks and nids.

I like the idea of chaos surviving, I just get the feeling from reading different codices (though of course these change the fluff every now and then) that the Nids view the Chaos Gods as a rival predator (like another Nid). The Nids are themselves a terror in the warp, a living entity that rivals the Chaos Gods.

The Chaos Gods in turn hate the Nid's as they are un-corruptible and chow-down on their worshippers, weakening them.


Soooo I see the Nids hoovering up life on the way to the Eye, weakening chaos as they move along and eventually causing the Eye of Terror to lose power and close.

Orks. Necrons at the height of their power couldn't eradicate them, Eldar at the height of their power couldn't exterminate them, and Humanity at the height of it's power couldn't eliminate them. They are too robust. Orks are pretty much galactic weeds, no matter how many times you remove them they will always find away to pop back up.

Chaos isn't tangible in the warp, they only take physical forms in real space, how would nids eat that?

Nids or Orks or both in an endless fight.


Chaos gods might still exist, but Ork souls generally go to Gork or Mork and Tyranids do little for Chaos.

Therefore chaos will always be around to use them as puppets.

Aye I probably didn't do the explanation justice - The daemons aren't eaten - they're useless to the Nid's which is why they are seen as competition.

What the Nids are doing is eating the humans/aliens who give chaos it's power by simply living or actively worshipping the ruinous powers. Through attrition, Chaos will weaken due to losing it's worshippers while the Nid's grow stronger from eating those worshippers and gaining biomass. I can't remember where I read it but there was some story of Daemons trying to save the humans from the Nids, like two predators fighting over a resource.

There's no way to eat all the orks though!

And tzeentch could probably stay in power by manipulating the hive mind.

If you consider Gork and Mork as chaos than sure.

Gork and Mork are fabricated by the orks. They don't exist.

Citation please.

Jut about everything orks do is fabricated by ork psychic resonance.

Put a clip of junk into a vaugely shoota looking metal box? BULLETS COME OUT!

Paint a truck red? IT SUDDENLY GOES FASTA!

And so on.

But to answer the thread topic, it will be the Tyranids. We've seen on tendrils of the Hive Mind's full mass. Once the body makes it's way into our Galaxy, it's lights out and chow time for everyone. Necrons will most likely be avoided, but they'll either go fighting or back into stasis.

Space fungi you mean?

Officially yes, they are indeed fungal. I compare orks to weeds due to how you can never remove them, without them popping up again. You can't just smear topical cream on orks and make them disappear.

Orks, the Athletes foot of the future. Suppose they are a good contender too thinking about it

Probably Squats.

Anything other than Orks is invalid. They are the perfect war machines that will survive anything. Only other thing I could see putting up a fight would be the Tyranids because we dont truly know the true extent of their power.

nah, Orks couldn't beat 'Nids. the orks huge advantages (numbers and the spore system) are both stopped by nids who 1) have more numbers, and 2) eat the spores . However, Necrons being clever, let the 'Nids eat Orks, then use their teleporty metal men to kill the 'Nids as the necrons mitigate the 'Nids saving grace against them, the fact that necrons don't have any biomass to be eaten.

Deldar and Necrons.

I just don't see either of them dying out.

Chaos can't exist without living things so they're screwed if necrons or tyranids win.

Orks are confirmed to be the only thing that's been found outside of our galaxy so I suppose they'll never be stopped. My money is on the orks.

Eldar are screwed and have been screwed for the last 15.000 or so years.

Humanity has a higher chance to come out on top then it seems if the starchild theory is to be believed.

lol, tau.

All of the gods in 40k are "fabricated" by mortal efforts. No mortals, no Warp Gods.

Tau, the only faction that is actually advancing in technology. They might be small now, but eventually a single gun drone will be able to destroy entire planets full of enemies, if it even cares enough to bother with such a trivial task instead of delegating it to a less-sentient auxiliary unit.

Tyranids mutate depending on what they eat, is that right?

If the nids ate enough orks, would they become more orky?

Necrons, or orks....

Borth are insanely durable

Like how their guns and vehicles work?
If enough Orks believe it, it'll happen.

Chaos is fabricated by the other races. What's the difference?
And, without the belief, there are no chaos gods.
Nids or Necrons will be the last.

As long as orks exist, khorne will.

I think Necrons would start to leave as the gak hits the fan, not fight.
At least all the named characters except for Trazyn the Infinite, Anrakyr the Traveller, Orikan the Diviner, The Silent King.
Its really not worth it for them to fight to the last, and only a few are prideful or crazy enough to do that.
Nemesor Zahndrekh, Illuminor Szeras, Vargard Obyron, Imotekh the Stormlord.

I think its going to end with the Nids consuming all biological matter (including orks), and Chaos consuming all spiritual (elder, humanity).
