Orks rule, everyone else drools

I should tell your opinion Logan grimnar,he'll explain who drools

Orks are left, of course. And some kinds of humans will always warsip chaos, especially if thinkgs are going that bad. Maybe some 'nids would still be hanging around, but they're from a diffrent universe, so who knows how many are left. and the tau are to busy texting the necrons to be bothered with anything else

Our faith in the holiest of emporers is unmovable!
Orks are also right,not only left.

and the tau are to busy texting the necrons to be bothered with anything else

Heres my philosophy what gonna happen:

Chaos Space Marines: stay the same
Imperium: Get totally blown to hell and then evryone laughs at them.
Dark Eldar: Who cares
Eldar: Be wierd
Necrons: I dont know
Orks:Run around ensuing chaos
Tau: New imperium
Tyranids: Slowly kill everyone else cause they rock

its obvious, the eldar, tau, and orks would all be left

reasons:

orks: thrive on war

tau and eldar: know to let the other races shoot themselves while they just take the occasional planet that has fallen outside of the other races influence

Necrons and Tyrinids

Chaos Marines: Mutate and degenerate into demons.
Eldar: Breed less and less, genetic diversity becomes too low. They die off or exist in genetically bankrupt cells.
Space Marines: Defeated by Orcs/Hive Fleet/Chaos
Tyranids: Gene altering virus forged by Tau take them out.
Orks: Gene altering virus forged by Tau turn all orks into stupid weak children rendering them defeated pygmies.
Imperial Guard: Fall with the Space Marines
Dark Eldar: Suffer the same fate as Eldar.
Necrons: Creep around, striking occasionally.
Demons: Creep around, striking from the warp.

Tau: Kind of rule the galaxy, but not very effectively. have a lot of Necrons and Demons to deal with.


So what I'm saying is, Necrons, Demons and Tau. That is what it comes down to.

Speaking of Necros...

Haha exactly Corzine is probably sectretly laughing at us and going to turn us into a mini 40k universe.

Chaos Daemons, Imperial Guard, Eldar, Tau, and Orks would survive.

Daemons because it is literally impossible to get rid of them without destroying all sentient life everywhere.

IG because face it, humanity is too large and powerful to fully take down.

Craftworld Eldar will all die, but Exodites and Dark Eldar and whatnot can survive, if in a limited manner.

Tau are too small to care about and too Powerful to destroy.

Orks are Orks.

After thinking about it a little bit I think instead of the Tau getting rid of the Tyranids they'd probably harness some of the abilities Tyranids have that the Tau culture favor. And maybe they could make some concessions culturally to make up for their weak points.

I think one strain of the hive fleet the Tau may favor and take control over is the carnifex. They could have artificial spawning pits that would emulate the conditions that are necessary to spawn a Carnifex. They would they implant controls in the carnifex's brain to make it more docile when not in combat and more controllable on the battlefield. I'd assume though that it would never be perfect they'd always have to contend with evolutionary steps the strains may take to make Carnifexs more resistant to their mind control devices. Maybe, in rules terms, it'd be like the frenzy of a CSM dread. Excpet only on a one, the Carnifex moves, runs, and fleet charges the nearest unit (Friend or Foe). After that if it rolls a one in the next turn it continues to assault that unit (if friendly) or it breaks off the assault and moved one inch away and under the players control as normal if anything else is rolled if it had charged a friendly unit.

I pretty much agree with canonness rory,except maybe for the fate of Demons.If i'm not mistaken their source of strength is humanity and the occasional dark eldar(ork are immune to chaos,tau too,necrons aren't even alive,nyds share a single soul apparently)Since most of humanity will be destroyed one way or another,i think they will become too weak to be a real nuisance.
Imho Necrons will fight against nyds cause they are the opposite,ultimately winning but with huge losses=bedtime for millenia again.
On the other hand i saw an interview on youtube regarding the DoW 2 game where a designer(or was it the producer?)spoke about the nyds.He said something like this"For what we know of the background the tyranids are like a giant fist enclosing the galaxy:all the mayhem they have caused is just one little finger touching it.If the whole fist should close the galaxy would be no more,there would be only Tyranids".
Also some people tend to foget how many orks really there are and that the more they fight the bigger and stronger they get.Gork and Mork are with all probability amongst the mightiest entities in the warp,if not the mightiest.If you think there are a lot of humans,you should realise they are just guest in an orcish(orkish?) galaxy
The dark eldar will survive too: they are pirates,they don't give a ****
Tau are too weak,they will be kroot food in the end(and the kroots know it )

Orks are more or less immune to chaos, but by killing they serve Khorne, all killing serves khorne. Khorne loves the Orks, even if he doesn't send bloodthirsters to help them and whatnot. There's a bit of fluff in the Ork Codex about a warboss leading his Waaagh to a Khornate planet, and they get slaughtered. They are then resurrected and made to fight for all eternity. The Orks are having the time of their lives.

Nids - no one knows how many there actually are, and we have to assume they are infinite so thats an easy choice.
Necrons - Will be back? Also, all of the tome worlds have not been recorded so they could easily just be chillin out playin parcheezy and whatnot.
Chaos Space Marines - just hide in the warp
Space Marines - Think about how hard it is to kill them fluff wise, now multiply that by however many marines are in a legion, now multiply that by the number of legions.
Imperial Guard - There's no feasibly way you can kill off ALL of the humans, and even if there's only one human left, you have a guardsmen.

I don't think that survival is high up on the Space Marines 'To Do list' they'll probably do something suicidal all together, like attacking the hive fleet (as in 'the big one') or charging into the warp. Nope, survival and space marines don't go together.

As for Nids well, IF they don't conquer and eat this galaxy then they will starve. Geez, they probably already are after having spent so long in deep space.

If Deamons are emotions of living being, then wouldn't they go all gooey and 'for the greater good' if Tau were the only souls available? (since necrons probably don't count)

Technically they really aren't, they only twist and use human emotions to their ends. Don't forget that these deamons were here before us, so how did they exist then if we weren't even there? No, the deamons are more of a , different plane of existance, kind of deal. If every sentient race in the galaxies died, then they would just wait for more, since they never die of old age and time is kinda iffy to them.

You sure? I heard that they feed on sentinent emotions, you know Khorne like feeds on war and rage, nurgle feeds on sickness etc, Tzeentch feeds on lies, and Slaneesh feeds on all those things that creep even the other gods out.

So if there were no emotions like lust or rage, which is entirely possible if there are only Tau and Necrons left, then wouldn't the deamons start to reflect on what they feed on?

P.S. Are deamons confined to the 40k galaxy or do they plauge other galaxies like 'Nids?

N my 40k dream, the Star Child theory is correct and Cypher brings the emperor back, threw killing him and him being reborn or him just waking up and remaking the Lion's Sword. The Lion, Russ, Khan, Guilliman, Vulkan Corax all return or are healed and with there Emperor lead the great Triumph in which they recounqer all the galaxy for mankind and lead the final battle against the Chaos Gods in which the Dark Gods are slain along those traitorous Daemon Princes that use to be there Brothers thus closing the Eye of Terror, and The Imperium enters a Golden age in which the Eldar are dead, Nids cant even make head way at the borders of the Imperium anymore, Orks are all but extinct about as they become a main target.
Tau Empire crumbles as The Imperial military might and technology is renewed, Dark Eldar are there same selfs but without a god and are the only main organized threat, Necrons become new studies at Adeptus Machaunius factroies as The Emperor and his Primarchs have hunted them down and given them to mars to move forward in technology. The Emperor reopens the webway hidden under the Imperial palace and begins populating it, for it is now the hidden place protected by him so that no foe can destroy the human race.
Also The Emperor throws away the Cult Imperial as he had stated before his acsecion he is not a God, punishes the High Lords for there corruption and they again embrace science and technology and reason again
I think in my 40k nightmare, the Imperium will probably end up like the Eldar dying race fighting to survive(tho not ready for a fall). The Eldar are dead or they soon cave in and become Slanneshes slaves. Chaos will be triumph and the dark Gods will fight each other over Terra for eternity, Tau become the new super power in the galaxy(of course no were as glorious as The Imperium once was). Nids go away as the Astromican is no longer drawing there attetion. Orks are still doing there thing figthin. Dark Eldar become new troops for Slannesh joining him in the fight agasint the other gods. Necrons start waking up and begin there crusade on a massive organized scale against anything living once again awoken by the warp energies that now are ripe threw the galaxy.
Think that covers everyone sry for the rant lol

If the Eldar prophacies are to be beleaved, then end will come after the final battle against chaos which results in the final distruction of both the material universe and the warp. Which basicly leaves nothing.

It does leave one thing, the under-warp. Haven't you ever wondered were the eight-fold path leads?

Tau snuffed out as full brunt of Nid Horde crashes into them. Eldar get even closer to extinction (1 craftworld left?), chaos and deamon gods fight with Ctan and Necrons for the souls of those mortals remaining.

Orks and Dark Eldar can bugger off for all I care!

The Imperium itself would eventually be shattered beyond repair. The High Lords of Terra would organize a final escape for humanity, inserting the golden throne into a ship (or abbandonig it), getting the remnants of guard/sister/machine adepts/space marines and fleeing a burning galaxy. Making for the cold void of space...

After a Loooooooooooong time in deep space they reach another galaxy.
Guess what jedi/psyker Luke Skywalker! Deamon/ Witch Hunters are about to pawn your ass!!!!

New Imperium would make the Old Empire (with Vader) look like a picnic!

Look, pretty much all races can die in one way or another, but since this is a post of the most likely to survive then i'd have to go with.........

Tyranids: Because they are the only race that is beyond the known galaxy [maybe chaos is somewhere out there but I haven't read or heard about it, but its likely that they are because they live in the warp and the warp is...well the warp]

Orks: Since if you kill and ork it releases tiny spores which grow into more orks, they cant really die unless you destroy the spores [which would be quite hard]

Chaos: If there is emotional, living beings then there will be chaos.

Eldar/Dark Eldar: They have the webway [unless it get destroyed] to go to and hide in. And they can rebuild gateways elsewhere or just live in it.

As for the others................

Humanity [SM's, IG, sisters of battle, etc]: Not much hope there. If they are as we are now then we arn't going to live peacefully, EVER! but hey thats how we roll.

CSM: Same as humanity but with even less hope [unless they become immortal by Chaos somehow, but thats only some].

Tau: They're just asking for it!!! Some day they're going to get their little blue asses handed to them by something that doesn't agree with them and is stronger than them [thats starting to happen now anyway].

Necrons: Well..........if the C'tan survive then I guess the necrons will but I doubt it. They'd probably get destroyed some way or another.

Well, if Tyranids didn't manage to get a foothold in this galaxy they would STARVE. Necorns would go back to sleep, again. And Orks would be killed in a tide of neverending snotlings! Mwahahahhaha!!

It's worth noting, orks are actually scattered across the universe (although they probably originated from the Milky Way). The orks hitch rides on space hulks going deep into the warp and appear at random spots in space (and time) that may or may not be inside this galaxy.

Thus, both they and the tyranids have extra-galactic forces, although I doubt the orks know how to get back to this galaxy.

In true underdog fashion, Eldar.


Actually probably Daemons. As long as somebody is mad or perverted they're set.

I'd say it would be a massive war between Nids' and Daemons. Neither side would run out of troops, because so long as there's emotion in the universe there's Daemons, and the Tyranids gain numbers faster than they lose them, and they're Extra-Galactic in origin. Our galaxy would be torn between barren worlds stripped of all life, Twisted half infested/half corrupted worlds, and full-fledged Daemon Worlds

Or the Tech-Preists of Mars just come up with a new weapon, and the BLOW THE WHOLE GALAXY UP!!!!!!

We already have a weapon like that, we just haven't found the STC that tells us how to press the on button yet.

Space Marines will be left in the end. think about it.
