Hey fellow 40k'rs! I have a question for you as well as a bit of a competiton. What do you think would happen if by some AMAZING BEYOND MEANING peace treaty was made between all the races. I know this is beyond impossible, but lets do this just for fun! What do you think would happen under these circumstances besides an eventual re-rise of conflict.

The only way this would happen was if the orks, 'nids and Necrons were all wiped out, since the orks live to fight, 'nids are pretty mindless and just consume fething everything and Necrons are only happy when there's nothing left to kill.

Then the Eldar and the Dark Eldar would have to chill the hell out, become one and start to have some serious sexy-time to get their race back into sustainable mode.

The imperium pretty much has to change their entire economy (hah!), SMs and Inquisition would have to be disbanded or restructured.

Chaos would have to agree to stay on their own side of the galaxy forever so whoever wants to get their kicks with the ol' Chaos gods can do so freely (you know there will be some fools who'll do that)

The Tau and the Imperium will glare at each other constantly about who was right about being for the "Better Good", the Eldar will probably spawn another Slannesh with the intergalactic Orgy you know they'll be having and we'll be back to square one.

That same question was brought up in the horus heresy books. The space marines were wondering what they would do.
I personaly thought that the space marines wopuld become great civil workers/engineers. I almost modeled a drednought holding a stop sign.
40,000 years in the future and there is only... peace?

THERE IS ONLY WAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh come on! This is just fun! Use your imagination, what would happen?

The only way there would be peace is if the Necrons Havested all life and sealed up the eye. A galaxy that knows the peace of the dead...well deadish.

Ok here is how it goes down. Everyone gets along just fine. Eldar meet up with the dark eldar to repopulate. The Imperium become civil workers and rebuild all the worlds that have been destroyed. Chaos stays on their side of the street. The Orks and Nids get cirlced into one system and the planets around them become armed with even bigger guns. said system gets lots of video cameras hooked up and boom everyone else can watch them blow each other to bits. Every so often the surrouding planets bombard the ork and nid planets to kind of reset the playing field.

The eldar and dark eldar unite to reclaim the homeworlds and weaken the eye. The Imperium comes up with a new version of the Imperial Creed led by the increasingly numerous and effective psychers which effectively stops chaos from entering real space. Tau realise that the Imperium should be left alone for the greater good but send out missionaries and ambassadors to promote their way of life.

With chaos effectively under control the Imperium is free to reclaim many worlds from the orks and the Imperial fleet is freed up from the eye to funnel the hive fleets into ork space. Tau and Imperium agree to a truce to remove necron threat. Peace reigns supreme, mostly.

Cue next greatest threat to the galaxy that make the tyrannids look like unwanted ants at a picnic. Replicators! Not the ones from Stargate but the ones that ate the galaxy in Lexx.

Slaneeshi followeres would find employment in the entertainment industry.
Tzeench followers would found universities and study groups.
Nurgle followers would become the sanitation department (and hopefully stay flushed).
Khornate followers would become flobotomists (sp), BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD.

There would be a lot of inter-species space stations like the ones in Star Trek (DS9) popping up all over the galaxy.

Also, humans would use a lot more Eldar tech.

And Chaos would have folded in on itself.

GW would go bankrupt,as those new hugging marines aren't selling as well as the old ones with bolters.

QFT

Somehow this thread made me think of Space Marines with carebear symbols on their chests singing, "Give Peace a Chance."

You mean liek this?

Now that is a scary thought!!!!

If peace were to happen within Warhammer 40k?

I bet we would see a whole lot more Warhammer 40k pron from Second Life. /shudder

it would end up like monopoly, but instead of the hat and the iron and dog and car etc... we'd have little warhammer men.

instead of destroying their worlds, you buy them, build a hotel and charge them ridicolous amounts everytime they land there

The emporer would have to arise and give all races the holy flip off

I'd buy Monopoly 40,000

In the grim dark future of Monopoly, there are only HOTELS

LOL, i'd buy that.

If they did all the spaces would all be about SPASE MARIENZ because it is GW after all. Then they'd find a way to turn some strike about low wages for Orks/Tau/IG workers into a city wide riot then some Commissar will execute some guards for not bashing their heads in before attempting to kill those Orks. This would then spiral into a hate crime that will be supported by the Imperial forces and looked at with disgust by the other races. Tau would rush in talking about the greater good and kill the ones that did the hate crime. there would be heated arguments between the Imperial and Tau empires. These two forces would go to war straight away, but small groups would begin small terrorist attacks on the other races. The Imperial's racisim and overreacting will escelate this into small battles between some planets. The Orks will see this as "we canz fightz aganz! tell da boyz!" and start a Warrrgh! There would most likely be some missed Necron tombs woken by these small fights. The Eldar, although now joined as one race, would see this all as a possible threat to their currently fragile race and there would most likely still be some small Dark Eldar groups. New Tyranid fleets would float into the galaxy. As for Chaos, they'll just make a sudden and unexplained reappearance. And after you have spent $200 on Monopoly 40,000, Warhammer 40,000 will return to normal with a fun 10-20% price increase across a majority of the products.
