lol... Orks on Ritalin or Focalin.

Can you imagine orks without ADD?

**OrkArmageddon**

From what i have read its the blackstone, but whats this about eldar warp closer? And what is the strongest weapon in the actually tabletopgame, is it a vehicle or artillery? Well from what i have seen the tyranids would still be a reasonable terrifying weapon. The scary thing is if they came to our galaxy earlier we would be destroyed to hell.

**ALEXisAWESOME**

How about the Necrons Celestial Orrey? That Room which has a replica of every star in the universe and if the replica goes out, so does its celestial counter part. Imagine throwing an angry ork in there, say good bye to the universe...

**Vulgar**

Celestial Orrery.

The ability to remove large chunks of the lifespan of every star in the galaxy is absurd. In terms of power, and concept.

The ship that is powered by a measure of the Nightbringer's power, powerful enough to make Star Systems disappear.

Behind that is probably a Talisman of Vaul/Blackstone Fortress.

The World Engne is pretty powerful too, and is possibly the biggest, being the size of a planet.

The Celestial Orrery sneers at all that.

With it you could potentially destroy the entire galaxy.

As far as I am aware, the most powerful TT is the Orbital Defense Laser which had its datasheet on the website for a time

Rg 36-Unlimited
Str D
AP 1
Type Ordnance 1, 10" Blast

It also had a form of Interceptor, could fire at every unit that arrived from reserve.

Between the updating of the Destroyer Weapon rules, this thing Auto-Wounded with ID, auto-penetrated with +3 to the damage chart, and ignore cover, could shoot any reserver and had unlimited range. So unless it was an EW or SHV, that's a dead unit or vehicle with a minimum of a Weapon Detroyed result.

A warp storm can swallow entire systems and prevent navigation. You just killed a planet? No biggy. It just destroyed many tes that just from coming into being. Look what the birth of slannesh did to the eldar empire in a matter of moments. And the eye of terror has remained for millenia.

**HerbaciousT**

Surely in principal the most powerful is the Necron Celestial Orrery?

**Daemonhammer**

The death star.

Wait...

**Aeroroot**

Overall: blackstone fortress or necron something or other...
Imperium: that stupid death star thingy the imperial fists have (if it actually worked properly).

Although (being technical here)... arent all tyranids part of a single organism....?

Anything which can actually blow a planet apart wins, anything which can do that on a bigger scale wins even more.

**Desert_thunder_heart**

Lasgun.

**Omegus**

Nerdrage.

**ICME**

Haven't you read the Necron fluff? an Ork messin with a Doomsday cannon

**PredaKhaine**

I think the most powerful force in the galaxy is the power of thread necro-ing...
Failing that, the celestial orrery

**DarthMarko**

Fanboyz and haters...dark side and the dark, frustated side...

Why is anyone mentioning anything that's not the Celestial Orrery? Turning it off destroys the entire galaxy, if not the universe, as every single star goes supernova.

Because it is a Necron weapon. And Necrons were defeated by the Eldar. Aaaand... Eldar and Orks (and many others, probably including mankind) are biological weapons created by the Old Ones.

The most powerful weapon ever? the Eldar race.
The most powerful weapon now? Orks or Humans, take your choice.

Only after destroying the Old Ones and breaking the power of the C'tan. Until Szarekh betrayed the C'tan, they were handily defeating the Old Ones and all they had created.

Had he not betrayed the C'tan and focused on the Eldar, he would have squashed them.

**da001**

But they used many, many weapons, one of them being the Celestial Orrery.

The Eldar race, all of them, is a single weapon. And the same goes for the Orks.

Neither the Orks nor the Eldar could potentially destroy all of existence (or at least the galaxy) by turning off a single machine.

That is a power beyond even Chaos.

An entire chapter of movie marines

**Kaptain Skullstompa**

I'm going with Orks, most numerous threat, even states if they worked together, they could krump the world, they were made by the old ones, so best biological weapons, also if we are talking about a gum then theoretically the Orks could make the most powerful one, considering the they believe it works so it does work rule, Orks just haven't thought about it

**Deadshot**

Nids are superior to everyone in terms of biological adaption, including orks. They are possibly more numerous, and can replenish losses so easily its unbelievably whilst denying the orks their reinforcements (by eating the spores) that give thr Greenskins their numerical advantage, and the Shadow in the Warp is potentially able to disrupt/prevent their psychic field. So Nids beat Orks in the long run.

We'll let this run for now, but if we could please generally avoid digging up threads this old t'would be appreciated.

Thanks.
