Ok guys, off to the military. Do not worry, I will be back for Candlemas.

It's possible, but you have to have the ability to rid entire galaxies of life.
[QUOTE=Cone;32717348]More than possible; really, if you can take on Tyranids in most capacities, you can probably nuke the fuckers. I mean, the only thing that really makes the Terminators who get owned special is their armor and their experience, so why even give them the former when the latter is enough to get them motivated?
All we need, is some big-ass tanks, a metric fuck-ton of Kasrkin and special IG and SM squads, and a few guts behind a wall and some emplacements, we can take on the universe. It's worked so far.[/QUOTE]
You have no idea what you're talking about, do you? We've tried Exterminatus on the Tyranids many times now, [i]it doesn't work[/i], they keep coming. There is no end.

You should shout that during training :v:

Well thinking like [I]that's[/I] not going to get them defeated, is it?
We'll nuke them once, and then we'll nuke them again, and then we'll keep fucking nuking them 'till they shut up! We aren't running out of bolter rounds any time soon, it's literally the only way of thinking that won't get you in their stomachs!

yup. once the Tyranid fleet has committed its resources to a planet, an exterminatus on that planet would cripple it provided it's done at the right time, nothing gained, everything lost..
provided that ships can get close enough to perform it etc etc
Exterminatus entire galaxy.

So, yeah, it's less that the Tyranids are super-powerful and all, just that they're really, really lucky they haven't run into someone who's very good at timing stuff and/or is a freaking master at nuking shit.
Kind of surprising, considering the kind of heroes you normally see in 40K.
Anyways, I was just thinking; y'know how IG gear is actually really, really advanced compared to modern gear? Well, what if you pitted a team of IG against modern Marines?
I can't help but imagine the IG would get owned in seconds for running out at the Marines trying to get themselves killed like normal, whilst the Marines hide behind stuff and camouflage themselves. Stupid IG.

Uh Kryptmann did that. It worked once. Nids eat sectors, not planets. The current fleets are much smaller and splintered than they have been before. SUPERDRAMATIC ULTRA BATTLE hasn't worked since the Ultramarines did it. Calgar lost his hulk punching gloves (and hands) by thinking the surprise! shit would work again.
[QUOTE]aren't super powerful[/QUOTE]
The only other race to fuck up entire galactic clusters is.. oh wait, there isn't one, cause they got ate.
The hard counter to nids are necrons. The imperium is fucked, and they already know it, and have said so.

The Tyranids adapt too fast, they used to ignore Imperium and Eldar ships in the vicinity, now they scour them on sight.

Yeah, assuming they're completely green conscripts with shitty weapons and armour.
Most IG do use basic tactics, you know. Marines might beat an equal number of inexperienced soldiers, but vets or Stormtroopers would hand them their asses on a platter.

Actually the vests the IG use is way better than our bulletproof vests.

That's not saying much when the enemy either uses plasma, lasers or mind enhanced bullets.

The flak armour would glance every shot the marine shoot at them though :v: I mean, people mock the flak armour, but it is very much capable of glancing anything short of a 20mm bolt shot at it.
Their lasguns would tear holes in the marines too :v:

I dunno. I would say that the jaw piece the ork warboss has is at least 10 tons.
I was talking about chaos but holy shit whaaaat
Just a guess. It would have to weigh a lot so that when they do talk, everything they say is bad ass.
you mean "Bad Mass"
terrible joke is terrible

Obviously stitched together cardboard armor is more efficient than a vest with ceramite or metal plates inside it.
