Chuck Norris vs Sly Marbo

It decides everything.

Marbo=Rambo

Chuck Norris=Chuck Norris

CREEEED!!!

And 1900 points of guardsmen.
Suddenly armed uprisings start simultaneously in every organized country in the world, killing the governments off and destabilizing regions before anyone have time to react, with Creed becoming the military dictator proclaiming the message of the Emperor.

A modern army could lol stomp a 2000 point 40k army. Lasguns are about as powerful as an AK47 or M16. A single division consists of about 10,000 to 30,000 soldiers that have guns equivalent in strength to lasguns, and either no armor save or a 6+. A 2,000 point army would be shocking at first, but would quickly be destroyed in a head to head fight.

The 2 entries for most potentially damaging would be as follows.

#2 A chaos cult and/or alpha legion blending into the indigenous population.

#1 A genestealer cult. 5th edition army list would be the parasite of martoux for HQ, and 6 large units of genestealers with 6 broodlords for troops. Infect humans, hide, and hide single genestealers in shipping containers sending them to all corners of the earth.

No, they couldn't

Lasguns are about as powerful as a .50 machine gun and seldom run out of ammo.
Flak armor is actually pretty good compared to our body armor. The reason why it's so bad in game is because everyone else has better weapons.
Not to mention that the IG have better tanks and air support.

And seriously, you think a 2k necron or ork army will get crushed?

2000 Points of Webway Gate Dark Eldar?

Open portal to Webway, zoom in and hurt stuff, run away, rinse and repeat.

Actually, all a Nid force would need would be Parasite. It single handedly crushed a world by infecting guardsmen. All it needs is a populated area like London, NYC or LA and then the city would be.gone in a day. It can chew through Chimeras so cars.will be.no protection.

A single salvo from an Ohio class SSBN should do it, say 160 or so nuclear warheads each one being 30 to 50 times larger than the ones we used in ww2.

Heavy stubbers are 50 cal machine guns. If you look at old school fluff stubbers=modern firearms. Stub pistols and stubbers have the same str as laspistols and lasguns.

Modern fluff says otherwise.
As another poster had stated, a hit from a lasgun is capable of severing an arm, which is today capable of only .50 rounds or better.

And no, 160 warheads will not do it. Against orks maybe (as the spores would be vaporized), but not crons.
You will never have a chance to fire them.

Lots of wraiths, lords and anything else with a phase shifter.

Most of our normal weapons would merely bounce of their armored hides and any WMD or air strike or what have you they just phase out wait till its over phase back in and resume killing.

Necrons, with heaps of scarabs spawned by tomb spyders, catacomb command barge, imotekh stormlord and vargard obyron. Heaps of warriors and catacomb command barge with a royal court of crypteks. Lychguard wit h dispersion shields would absolutely pone us. nuff said

Ork yes, I am fairly sure scientist will figure out they reproduce by spores at one point and then order to torch the corpses as well as the ground where they died.

Ok, fair enough. I think I already said a few nukes will burn them easily anyway (provided any government is insane enough to saturate their own country with radiation).

No nukes, don't forget we Earthlings are not bound by the Imperium law concerning Xenos, the Orks will be studied, people will know their weakness and how to get rid of them and we will create anti-Orks weapons, in the long run we'd pump out something to properly dispose of them.

Like...fungicide?

Yeah

Read the ''Imperium Bio-Weapon'' thread about how Orks could be easily wiped out by a virus if WH40K would follow really for a millisecond

cause in the 40K space marines and IG killed them that quickly too

^^means that even with their technology, SM and IG couldnt figure out an ork weakness. What chance would we have?

I still stand by the fact that necrons would destroy us.

Well, they are a bit dumb. All that dogma and xenophobia does wonders in making a faction incapable of acting on an opponent's weakness.
