Tyranids.

New, lame, idiotic fluff where GW plays the One-Up Grimdark Game and Orks are never-ending and near-instantly replaceable fungus monsters?

Draw.


Whoever wins, we lost.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/495184/5086306.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/495184/5086306.page GMT Orks vs. Tyranids http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/495184/5086434.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/495184/5086434.page GMT Orks vs. Tyranids

Actually, Orks aren't instantly replacing. They take about a month to gestate, and a few years to mature.

So yeah, Tyranids would annihalate.

What about Necrons vs. Tyranids?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/495184/5086496.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/495184/5086496.page GMT Re:Orks vs. Tyranids 40k have thrown at them then I bet they could beat Tyranids, all be it at horrific casualties but oh well, more where they came from

Tyranids would win because while both regenerate tyranids regenerate by stealing biomass while orks grow from fungus. The tyranids would keep stealing ork biomass when they win while the orks likely wouldn't steal the biomass when they beat the tyranids. Not to mention that orks fight between themselves and tyranids don't.


Orks only fight amongst themselves when there are no worthy enemies to fight or if there Warboss doesn't like the other, in a war against nids I think a Warboss (or one worth his salt) wou;d be able to keep his boys in line]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/495184/5086529.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/495184/5086529.page GMT Orks/Necrons vs. Tyranids
This is not to say that the Orks aren't sometimes capable of really creative campaign thinking, but on a global scale I think the unified and all-seeing Hive Mind has the edge.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/495184/5086604.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/495184/5086604.page GMT Orks/Necrons vs. Tyranids
Necrons would slaughter the nids. No point in arguing that]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/495184/5086656.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/495184/5086656.page GMT Orks/Necrons vs. Tyranids

Now that just can't be true. Whether Orks grow like a fungus or like an animal, they need nutrition from the matter around them. Tyrannoforming slowly strips the planet of most useful elements; anything the Orks can use to reproduce you can be sure the Tyranid fleet will be able to use as well, and so will be on the list of things to be sucked up into space. Eventually, the process would drive the Orks into extinction on a given world. Given the saturation of the air with Tyranid spores, cells and microbes before this process completes, I imagine that the world would be purged of dormant Ork spores as well.

A Tyranid invasion is an attack on the biosphere as a whole and its ability to support life. The Orks have to stop that process, else it's game over in the long run.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/495184/5086767.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/495184/5086767.page GMT Orks/Necrons vs. Tyranids

That's all true except that if the war lasts long enough then the ork excrements will feed the spores and the dead will also allow the ork spores to feed and grow. Most of the world will lose their resources for life true, but the orks themselves will give rise to new orks, the orks themselves are all they need to make themselves a ecosystem where they can reproduce.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/495184/5086875.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/495184/5086875.page GMT Re:Orks/Necrons vs. Tyranids
