Ahriman at his best casts whole solar systems into the warp.

Disney canon Star Wars characters are considered impressive when they can throw a few tons of rock around and slowly redirect incoming large projectiles.

I think Ahriman's got everyone in SW beat.

Agreed. Ahriman is basically if you combined darth sidious or starkiller together forty five times over.

Also, Ahriman surfs on planet sized space whales.

Top that.

I'd like to see how Star Wars stuff would deal with Necrons or Dark Eldar.

Necrons have World Engines- more than a match for a Death Star.

Exterminatus takes multiple bombardments, virus bombs etc, and even then the planet is still there.
Death Star. BOOM. Planet gone. No muss. No fuss.

FTL Travel in Star Wars takes, at most, a week? Warp travel takes FOREVER and is inherently risky, because Warp.

The Sith are not madmen, they are calculating, patient and strike with overwhelming force.
Chaos is just that, Chaos. The Sith empire only needed 1 try each time to get the galaxy to bow to them, what number black crusade are we on?

Furthermore. The Sith "Big Bads" actually have arms, Abaddon.

The big names in Star Wars will most likely win V 40K big names most of the time. As powerful as the Primarchs were, I don't think they could stand up against Revan, Mace Windu, Yoda, Malgus, Grievous, Obi-Wan, Anakin (Both versions), Satele Shan, Basila Shan, Boba Fett etc.


Besides, all this is besides the point. We all know what we'd pay to see.

Rancor V Carnifex.

Fanboy alert.

Primarchs which are literal gods are somehow defeated by a guy with a light saber. Yep totally sounds legit. Sorry let me check the lore for one second. Oh yes it says here that everytime a human were to.. face a Primarch they would A. Instantly die, B. Get extremely fearful C. get mindblasted and have their head literally explode. D. Get ripped limb from limb. E. Get killed in an ambush that was set up somehow.

In a universe where literal gods are walking around. The STarwars universe wouldn't survive against Life eater virus or any of the deadlier weapons the imperium or hell what the eldar have.

Star Wars is deeply rooted in reality, 40k is not.

40k wins due to how ridiculous it is.

Well, there was that one Lucifer Black at the end of Legion who manages to stab Alpharius/Omegon in one of his hearts in a duel... But yeah, he still gets krumped.

World Engines? Pah.

A Cairn could probably deal with the Death Star given enough time.

The Life eater virus would kill everyone on board of the death star and everyone on every planet within seconds.

But the Life-eater Virus is not a Necron weapon.

What?

The Life Eater kills all biological life. I am talking about why waste valuable resources when you could just drop a bomb and let the life eater virus kill everything on the station?

Okay, why is this even a question? One tomb world would win: Thanatos-Celestial Orrery...blow up stars at will...?

Plus, have you ever seen SW? One blaster shot (las-weapon) to kill clone armor 9flak), but terminators? not a chance.

I'd love to see what trouble Iori Delta Tove would cause. And since it is ALL of 40k, how about the Tyrant Star? Suddenly I hear a parody of Mulan's "I'll make a man out of you", except it's"I'll make a cultist out of you" and your consent is a nonissue.

Note: Star Wars requires a small moon sized space station to blow up a planet. (Im not counting the 1 off super weapons)

Warhammer 40k prefers not to blow up the planet completely (because planets are valuable to the Emperor/Imperium) so they like annihilating everyone on the surface.. BUT if they want to make the planet go away they will use a standard ship-of-the-line battleship (or even smaller craft like Cruisers or even smaller could possibly do it). The standard Imperial "no more planet at all" method is to use the standard issue cyclonic torpedo (a really BIG nuke/missile) then they will strap a Melta charge on the front of it (a nuclear reaction gone meltdown x 10000) to bore to the planets core and go BOOM.

A STANDARD SHIP OF THE LINE can do what the Death Star can. That's like if a Standard Abrams Tank could launch nukes....

THis of course does not cover the total oblideration the Necrons, Eldar, Tyranids, and so on.

See, It was an inside JOB!

Also with hyperspace travel available to small civilian craft, Nurgle can release a plague that will quickly spread to the entirety of the galaxy FFA and kill massive portions of the population with ease. With no ability to understand the warp, Star Wars can not hope to cure Nurgle's gift as the plague lord laughs and massive sections of the galaxy FFA are dragged into the warp as the Lord of Decay claims much of their galaxy. Planets like coruscant will be screwed over within days as people drop dead en masse from the all pervasive rot that should spread like wildfire.

This only leaves the droids left standing, and IA12 shows that the Necrons can completely screw over technology with simple signals like "Maynarkh comes!" that causes all systems to start crashing and failing upon so much as hearing the transmission with the only way to save affected technology to be galvinic purges that heavily damage the affected electronics anyway.

In a one two punch of Nurgle to kill the living and the Necrons to kill the machines; nothing is left standing.

Am I not the only one who would love to see the following:

Nurgle Storm Troopers

Looted AT AT
Looted Death Star

Possessed Kyrat Dragon

Jedi Chaos Spawn

Also, knowing Emperor Palpatine, he'd probably try to cut a deal with the Chaos Gods or the Necrons for more power for himself.

Then they would betray him cause its just as planned

Similarly, Darth Vader is incredibly emotionally insecure. People with deep seated insecurities are exactly the kind of people that Chaos likes to twist and corrupt to bring down empires they find problematic. You could very well see a Vader heresy crippling the Galactic Empire.

And yet 40k would lose if it took on Hulk, Superman and Magneto. Three individuals that would wreck the entirety of 40k. Hell, we'll add Thor in there too and make the numbers a bit more balanced.

I can count the number of non-obscure franchises that can handle Superman or Thor at full tilt with my hands.

Hulk can be fairly easily dealt with because he can't fly though. Just ignore the planet he's on and you're golden.

I'm pretty sure 40k plot law refuses their ability to ignore a planet. Blowing the planet up that he's on will only make him angrier.

On the other hand, Deadpool killed the Hulk in an AU by simply waiting for him to turn into Banner again and decapitating Banner before he could finish hulking out. Sounds like a job for a Vindicaire.

The post you were replying to was part of a discussion on whether Necrons alone could defeat the Star Wars galaxy. Therefore 'the life-eater virus' is not an applicable answer.

Besides, one spark on the station after the virus has run its course and BOOM, no more station.

Tengen Toppa Guren Lagann would destroy all of them and even the Q Consortium. So this is all moot really.

Yeah, cuz ''Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe'' is totally not bias, PIS writing. This is the same comic series were Deadpool simply pulls a Gun on Spiderman and shoots him and explodes the Avengers building, because no one has ever tried that before...

Yeah, don't use this as an example. It is a very, very bad PIS-lanced comic.

sonic ordinus. In the movie, Hulk goes down to sonic weapons on a SMALL scale. and an uparmoured version, properly positioned would be able to kill him.

Mageto is obvious. just send a couple of platoons of unarmed ogyrns at him

Superman, Tyrant star or any other red star. Oh. OR alternatively just hit him with psychic powers, stated he's weak to magic. Or have a naviator give him the third eye.

Thor. Take him down from orbit with either mass drivers, OR energy beams. Whilst his hammer can travel through space, He cannot.

You're trying too hard.

A Farseer.
Convince Hulk that Thor is the enemy (or vice-versa).
Melt Superman's mind.
Magneto doesn't do a whole lot with Wraithbone.

Not even a challenge.

If one Farseer (Yoda) can engineer the fall of the entire Galactic Empire, I don't see how these things are threats.

TTGL can't defeat Lord English from Homestuck or Unicron in his "destroyer of universes" incarnation.

The movie versions of Marvel and DC characters would be pretty easy to take out given how nerfed they are from the comics.

I wouldn't give the MCU avengers good odds against a few bloodthirsters.
