Warhammer ships can destroy entire biospheres and individual battles field more soldiers and material than are used in entire wars in star wars. Psykers and demons are also stronger than all canon force users, though obviously depending on where they fight, that could change.

The SW galaxy is tiny compared to warhammer. At most around ten million clones were used in the clone wars, and a few tens of millions of droids. This is of course very stupid, but even taking more reasonable but non canon EU numbers, it still doesn't compare. At its maximum extent, the galactic empire had ~25000 ISDs, staffed and crewed by ~40000 people each, so one billion just for the standard capital ships. Considering infantry, space stations, the death stars, and terrestrial enforcers, there were probably 10 or 20 billion men in the imperial military.

In 40K, there are trillions of guardsmen, and that's a very conservative estimate.
>>
>>738016002
>>738016091
Short run designs that were so expensive that they pushed the empire towards economic collapse with just a couple of each built. Also, the death stars, while extremely impressive weapons even by 40K standards, required strip mining a unique planet of a non-replenishable resource.

that entirely depends on which universe the fight is set in
if WH40K - there are more belligerent entities of a single faction alone than there exist sentient beings in the entirety of the Star Wars universe, plus they have Chaos gods, Necrontyr, and the Astronomican so obviously Star Wars would lose
if Star Wars - the Force is God and defeats evil in the long run, therefore WH40K loses
if a neutral universe where there is no Force or Warp hacks, Star Wars still loses because, again, any single faction - even the wimpy small ones like Eldar or Tau - has more members in it to fight than there are sentient beings in the entire Star Wars galaxy, making Star Wars lose by attrition by default; there are more Imperial Guardsman than all the battle droids and stormtrooper put together x10000, the power creep is totally unreal, absolute Lensman mechanics

Yes, for example the Gloriana-class, which would shrug off turbo lasers like they weren't even there and could concievably survive a hit from the death star.

>>
>>738017084
>the Force is God and defeats evil in the long run
Does it though? Because if you really look at it objectively, the force seems to aim for stale mates
>>
>>738017084
in the neutral galaxy, i wouldnt be so sure. The Star Wars galaxy has a better life to offer to the 40k Imperium. Think the Tau recruiting humans with something as simple as better living conditions, but kicked into overdrive. 40k suffers constant non stop rebellions. If a Star Wars factions manages to actually unify them, 40k has a HUGE problems. And as it happens to be, united rebellions are Star Wars strong point
>>
>>738017242
no, the Imperium has not gorillions of them. You have no idea about 40k lore if you even think that. They have an extremely limited amount of Ships that go into the Executor size range and they are unable to build more of them.
>>
>>738017242
That's not actually true. Even the really huge cathedral ships aren't much bigger than an ISD, and the largest capital ships (of which there are at most a dozen) are on par with executor in size. That said, pound for pound, they are significantly stronger and WAAAY tankier.
>>
>>738015378
these two universes are incompatible due to contradicting concepts. you can pin star trek against mass effect for example because they're relatively equal, meanwhile warp and hyperspace and the force and psy powers contradict each other because both are supposed to be omnipresent.
>>
>>738017414
The Force is just realspace warp but sentient instead of random.
>>
Reminder that the "giant, super duper horror meatgrinder" that was the Siege of Vraks had less Casualties in 19 years of warfare than World War 2 had in a fraction of that.

im not kidding, look it up. 40k isnt half as large with numbers as secondaries make it out to be
>>
>>738017414
Plus 40K heavily makes use of the immaterium so we can't just say "disregard jedi and psykers"
>>
Warhammer is less woke and has a cooler gun so he wins by default. Star Wars also brings to mind the Donkey/Vampire Bat hybrid looking grim visage of Kathleen Kennedy which is a major loss of points.
>>
>>738017289
but that wouldn't matter, because if the Imperium decided it wanted to control the entire galaxy, it could simply roll over all non-Imperials through a war of attrition, because it can spare them
an AVERAGE planet in the Imperium has a population as large as Coruscant's, and that's without an ecumenopolis, but just a couple of hive cities
the Imperium literally loses BILLIONS of citizens every hour of every day to conflict with its enemies across the galaxy and hardly notices because there are quintillions more behind it and further quintillions being bred
and you want to put that into a "level" playing field where the Imperium isn't crippled by Chaos gods, tyranid swarms, or ork waaaghs? sorry, but Star Wars loses

I don't say this out of preference for Warhammer - anything but - I'm just saying this is how 40K operates: with cringe grade-school sandbox "oh yeah well my character has infinity+1 shields that are immune to your anti-shield lasers!" logic oneupmanship
>>
>>738015378
The Galactic Republic/Empire is basically on the tech level of Tau on a much larger scale. The Imperium would probably win in the long run but it would be a closer math than a lot expect.

>>738017576
if the imperium goes full mobilization to roll over the entire galaxy, it would collapse the very same second because internal rebellions and uprisings would tear it apart. It needs all that manpower within its borders for a reason. That is not even mentioning that even gathering such a force would take some 50-100 years of prepreation
>>
>>738017630
The Imperium can't even make cyclonic torpedoes or produce battleships anymore. The tech to exterminatus a world or system is limited and finite in wh40k.

>>738017859
It doesn't matter. Imperium simply has much more of them.
>>
>>738015378
the empire would rape the imperium simply because they can safely travel through hyperspace

the hyberbole comes from people who know the setting only from memes and youtube videos. Actual 40k isnt halfway as crazy as most posers make it out to be

>>738017691
Something that took hours of sustained fire, as opposed to a single volley
>>
>>738017879
I'm just saying destroying a planet's eco system in a matter of hours is not unique to Warhammer. It was the Covenant's primary MO in Halo and the Romulan/Cardassian alliance did it to a Dominion planet in DS9.
>>
>>738017928
oh right I forgot that means if the Imperium was in Star Wars universe, Star Wars would win because the Imperium wouldn't have access to the Astronomican and warp travel would be impossible and they'd be too fucking stupid and xenophobic (even against humans) to grasp hyperspace, so their ships couldn't go anywhere except the slow way so even a small organization like the Rebel Alliance could take them out

again however that only occurs if they are in the Star Wars universe, not their own or a neutral universe
>>
>>738017949
Exterminatus is performed with specialised munitions. BDZ is done with standard weaponry.
>>
>>738015685
It takes a decade for a batch of Clone Troopers to be ready for combat. They can't just generate Clones out of nowhere. They have to grow and train the fuckers.
>>
>>738017959
40K exterminatus doesn't take hours. You're not wrong about star trek, star trek ships are fucking eldritch abominations with 90s beige interiors, and the enterprise D could probably slag Terra. It's just star wars which is relatively weak, which is a good thing for its setting actually.
>>
>>738017895
Not really, every exterminatus is carefully considered. The mechanicum barely knows how to maintain the imperial navy. The Imperium is a crippled empire on it's last leg.

I agree that SW isn't on par with 40K in sheer power, I just think the example of being able to sterilize a planet isn't an especially strong argument since almost every naval force in major sci-fi franchises can do it.

Imperium has sheer scale and even their Guardsman are better than Storm jobbers.
Star Wars does have far better ships though.

i believe the Imperium would struggle incredibly hard against the Rebel Alliance. The sheer mobility of the Rebel Fleet and even their Starfighters is utterly bonkers. The Imperium is incredebly strong, but it is also a slow behemoth. The Rebels could cause some serious damage in the Imperiums back line and cause massive damage against agri world and mining world resource shipments. And if they manage to infiltrate the imperiums hives and organize the disgruntled populace, shit is getting real serious.
>>
>>738018360
Yeah but Rebels look so lame

>>738018407
Let me amend that. Rebel troops look lame, their fighter craft are sick.
>>
>>738018187
Clones in 40k (at least Imperium generated ones) typically don't 'work' right. Usually because they don't receive a soul. They do use clones for certain things, like cherub drones, where you're just going to lobotomize a meat sack and stuff it with cybernetics.
>>
>>738018187
Why would they ever need to? They can just recruit from loyalist planets.

Vat grown and clones are different. Cherubs (mostly) and Kriegers are vat grown and do alright. The clones of heroes of the imperium are cursed with bad luck. Lack of a soul barely means anything in 40k.

A clone without a soul doesn't manifest in the same way as a blank. Sometimes blanks are described with no soul, but they are also often described to have a kind of negative soul. Which is why blanks can have a power level depending on how stronk their nega-soul is, like an anti-psyker.

An attachment of 1 squad of SM would enable the otherwise same Guard Company to do way more than they can with their existing elite squads. The whole Imperium's military would be made stronger.

Where did you get the idea they can't produce torpedoes or warships? Do you know how often ships get fucked up in 40k? They can make them. There are ship building yards on many planets.

I blame Karen Traviss. In AotC the Kaminoans say they have a number of "units" ready. It should have been assumed that clone troops are sold in batches of at least battalion size, but more reasonably in regiments or divisions. It was her article in SW Insider that laid out the "one unit=one clone" rule.

clones are worthless, literal dogshit that can't aim, can't take a hit, can't do anything they're whack as fuck they're just numbers
and a variety of 40k factions are also just numbers, that can takea hit, hit harder or have extra shit, and their numbers - for literally every faction outside of necrons - is magnitudes higher
star wars has a space advantage but that's it, it doesn't have a numbers advantage, it doesn't have a weapons or defensive advantage, in fact it falls behind in all those metrics
better logistic capabilities is not enough to counter all that out

Warhammer and it's not even close, and I say this as a Star Wars fan. Star Wars is an adventure for kids set in space made by a hippie Californian Buddhist in the '70s. It's technology and weapons are deliberately retro. Space battles were designed to look like WW2 movies dogfights. It doesn't have even 1% of WH40K insane bullshit that was designed by manchildren nerds to one up each other.

In terms of evil galactic empires,

Frieza Force > Decepticons > Saiyans > Viltrumites > Necrons (peak) > Empire (Star Wars) > Imperium of Man.

That's mainly down to Frieza himself and the Ginyu Force. Frieza is going to BTFO every other galactic monster out there up to and including Thanos and Galactus, but the upper echelons of the Frieza Force are still strong enough to destroy planets and fly many times faster than the speed of light.

Star Wars is the creative vision of one guy, it copies stuff and even entire scenes from other movies but does it earnestly. You can endlessly pick apart the movies and there's some pretty cool esoteric behind the scenes stuff like the Whills.

Warhammer is a corposlop setting that haphazardly plagiarizes to sell toys. Its fans don't even engage with the source material nor do they recognize its plagiarism. They watch low effort "video essays" because they don't read or if they do it's a fucking Warhammer book. It's supposed to be "edgy" but there's no actual depth beneath its edge like there is with what it ripped off.

Even though Star Wars is literally a fucking movie for kids its easily cooler than Warhammer.

The scale of 40k is just too retarded. Like the Star Wars Empire would do a lot of damage, don't get me wrong, with their easy FTL, but the crew of the Death Star would die of old age and/or get consumed by warp mutations before they could finish blowing up 1/4 of the Imperium's worlds.

And Big E in his prime could melt Palpatine with his mind from several solar systems away. That guy did not fuck around. Sheev wishes he could operate on that level.

Power-scaling-wise, it's Star Wars. The high tiers in Star Wars are one man armies. Darth Vader has feats putting him above planetary levels of destruction and massively faster than light. He's also a master Force user. Palpatine, Yoda, and Luke are of a similar power level. They would pulp everything from a Necron to Khorne in a 1v1 fight.

WH40K has way more troops to draw an army from, so much so that they can just keep throwing troops at the Galactic Empire until Vader/Palpatine get tired and then kill them that way.

Also I didn't consider this, but if intelligence is flowing freely between both sides, the imperium hard stomp. As soon as they get FTL drives the empire is fucking done for. Meanwhile even with perfect information the Empire has to aviud and out maneuver their opponent.
>>
>>738015378
Depends on whether blasters count as plasma weapons. Plasma is most 40k factions go to MEQ eliminator.

Warhammer really is only superficially dark and there was literally a Warhammer movie starring John Hurt like ten years ago and it was bad because Warhammer is bad.

Like there's a story where they introduce a character named Ephrael Stern and she's a sister of battle with ultra anti-chaos powers and that was published in 2003 well before Warhammer became "woke". People just make shit up about Warhammer because it's the only "dark" setting the social media masses seem know about.

That's a meme. Tech priests absolutely do innovate, even if they have to navigate political bullshit to do so. Once they have enough influence they don't have to give a shit about even that, as proved by Cawl slapping his dick on the table with absolutely no personal consequences.
As for adapting? Tactically they adapt constantly. Fighting the tyranids means any commander who can't adapt will be lucky if the swarm kills him before their superiors get hold of them first.
That's ignoring the fact the inquisition has free reign to do whatever the fuck they feel like unless they piss off their own Ordo sufficiently, and they can make non founding tier space marine chapters their personal bitch.

>>738031073
The idea of space marines being invincible and undefeatable, taking on 1000 enemies solo and coming out on top has always been pure wank. The only time this is ever the case is in books, where the writer can write whatever dumb bullshit he pleases and the main character always wins because the writer said so, and action video games where you control a singular character, where literally any protagonist can take down gods and armies by himself because that's just how these kinds of games work (see also the Fire Warrior game).
In any setting where they aren't given exclusive access to plot armor, such for instance as the tabletop wargame they originated from, they've never been anything more than above average infantry.

The Emperor was trying to defeat them through making the entire Imperium non-religious through his Imperial Truth. The idea behind that is people who pray and believe in superstition add power to the warp through manifestation of their latent psychic power that every single human has and sending that into the warp, empowering Chaos.
The Emperor was trying to cut off that 'food source' if you will, but he failed as we all know so that's gone.

The next thing that could be a massive pain in the arse for Chaos is the Necrons and their Pariash Nexus, the Black stone Pylons they built millions of years ago, the same ones that were on Cadia.
The Necrons if they utilise them, they can nullify all powers of Chaos and the warp just like a Sister of Silence does but on a Galactic scale.

Humans are a pretty significant part of the sentient galaxy though no? Quite literally the Skaven of 40k. I don't know if Tyranids would add anything since aren't they a hive mind without individuals or am I misunderstanding them?
>>
>>738036245
He failed because Horus brutalised him and forced him onto the Golden Throne where belief began in short order that the Emperor was a God and religion sprang forth.

At the time of the Great Crusade just before the Heresy, Jagatai Khan spoke of exactly what you're mentioning, the Xenos races were so few in number were so miniscule that none represented a threat anymore, that humanity has utterly defeated them or forced them into complete retreat, yes even the Orks.

So imagine if you will there was no Horus Heresy, no great civil war and that the Primarchs didn't turn traitor, that they continued crusading in the name of the Emperor. Eliminating all Xenos was not an unrealistic possibility and then if human held true to the Imperial Truth then Chaos would be and I'll say this inelegantly here, Chaos would be fucked.

>>738036245
All canon material indicates that his plan would have worked if not for the heresy.

You have to consider the fact that with the Emperor's trajectory, xenos were not going to be a variable for much longer. Humanity was in a different weight class when he was running things.

The canon also says that everything is part of the plan. EVERYTHING.

No, losing to Horus wasn't part of the plan. He fucked it there. Then he put himself in the throne, which was even worse than just dying and seems to have doomed both humanity and all of creation in a number of different ways.

Now remember that this is just -one- of the guard worlds, and ask yourself if cloning is even needed when you have all that meat.

Chaos from 40k would effortlessly corruption The Force, and that would result in everyone in Star Wars being corrupted. Everyone would then die on both sides due to how Chaos works. It would not even be close.

The Imperium does clone humans. The most famous, iconic and popular faction in 40k is comprised exclusively of clones of the Emperor of Mankind. Hope this helps.

I've been told it's because sisters feels too much like pandering, whereas the space locusts are just genderless biotechnology horrors. The only people nids pander to are people that think nid designs look cool.

Yeah that makes sense reminds me of an esport that had a singular female player who was decent but got overhyped and she knew she wasn't that good and quit because of it. Sisters are my second favourite since Battle Nuns are hot.

It's just an anomaly emerging from the fact that close to zero women have interest in this. Science fiction, historical battles, tabletop wargames, miniatures this is all stuff women despise so the intersection of them all is pure gyno repellent and you're left with some weird dregs that are either heavily neurodivergent or faking interest for their boyfriend.

If you polled male seamstresses about celebrity fashion you'd get some aberrant fucking answers as well.

How well would the Star Trek Federation do in 40k

The Emperor of Mankind should just let the demons flood Tera revive himself and start over. It is very frustrating him just sitting there while he could do so much more if he was physically there. So what if a planet gets wiped out it happens every day.
>>
exactly what would the Imperium do against the Empire just doomstacking 25k star destroyers and casually jumping from anchored fleet to anchored fleet and systematically taking apart the entirety of the Imperium's navy?

Like it doesn't even matter they have more ships in total, they're too slow to respond to anything the doomstack fleet does
And if they doomstack themselves, the Empire fleet splits off into groups of 10 and starts taking out 2500 of the Imperium's most valuable planets every week in the year it takes for them to realize what gigantic mistake doomstacking was when you're a factor 100 slower than your opponent

>>738040567
If the Emperor dies the Talismans of Severn Hammers will trigger. The entire Sol system will be destroyed, and every solar system within several light years will likely die as well. The psychic blast is supposed to be enough to potentially permanently wound the Chaos gods, at least at the time of the Heresy. If the Emperor died in this scenario, The Force would likely not survive the blast either, lol.
>>
>>738040567
It's not that so much as the loss of the astronomicon. I agree with you btw, he needs to pass on and reboot, but I believe he didn't want the astronomicon to go out because it basically undoes the entire great crusade and kicks things back to square 0 in the age of strife
>>
>>738040256
They're relatively OP. Likely job to Chaos, though. Star Wars would fair better than Star Trek in the spiritual battle. But like I said, I think Chaos would effortlessly corrupt The Force.

Yeah but I can't blame him. He didn't have much time to decide, he'd just been mortally wounded by Horus, and he didn't want to lose like 10-20 thousand years of progress. And that's what happens without the astronomicon. It's basically the instant end of the imperium.

They do and the only forces that would ever oppose safe ftl travel are the navigator houses themselves and any particularly zealous priests who think the Emperor being a divine lighthouse is too spiritually important but they get overruled by every single military organization the second they figure out safe, fast, reliable transport with zero daemons is on the table

Even if the force worked similar enough to the warp, it would stomp the chaos "gods" because the force has an entire galaxy united under it, an entire galaxy worth of souls juicing it up. It would be at least GEoM level, if not hivemind level in raw psychic power.
>>
>>738042004
The Force has been nearly destroyed or otherwise significantly corrupted by singular individuals. Corrupting the people alone influences The Force. I know you may like Star Wars, but it's literally not even close. The Force's interconnectedness is its weakness. Chaos just existing might instantly destroy both universes if given assess to The Force.

Star Wars's primary advantage is not numbers, but sheer interstellar mobility. They can have an entire army dropping on your capital world within the week while your own army is currently stuck spending the next couple of decades getting in fistfights with demons in the Warp.

Well, Space Marines can't withstand plasma even from Tau rifles, so it's a matter of both armies one shotting each other. Space Marines can withstand more punishment, but ultimately a few bolts of plasma from a blaster will eventually melt away their insides and kill them. Going by numbers, keep in mind there really aren't that many clones. So this is actually a very even battle if only one chapter is involved. If it's every chapter, 40k wins.
Also, Star Wars armor is incredibly strong. A lasgun probably won't do much to it. Only Tau weaponry behaves similar to blasters, which clone armor is very good at dispersing to prevent penetration, something that cannot be said about ceramite. So against plasma, Clones are actually more resilient than a Space Marine.

I got Halo for steam deck and I have to make a Microsoft account to play it. Can you believe that?

i think that clone troopers are cool, but i also think space marines are cool. clone troopers turn into the galactic empire which is still really cool. later in the warhammer 40k plot they go full primaris which is where they lost me. the counterpoint to that is the starwars sequels suck. so im not sure which faction i want to win. i think warhammer is a little more autistic though than starwars. so i think im gonna have to give it to the republic empire in this round.

i think the classic beakie space marines is pretty cool and i think they should bring it back. its like the clones having the strange paratrooper helmet. lots of really good designs in each universe. but i think starwars on average has the better aesthetics. also if jedi are involved i think one jedi can probably destroy one of those giant space marine robots singlehandedly. clone troopers are not as strong as a space marine but they seem smarter and more competent also.


it would be interesting to see how a battle would work in an urban setting between a space marine squad and some specialized highly trained arc trooper units. i know the space marine armor is strong but idk if its going to take a direct round or not from a rocket. against blasters im suire its just like fighting tau and taking their shots. not sure how the lore stacks the tau weapons up against space marine armor.

would jedi and sith be immune to psykers or whatever those pyschic humans are in warhammer?
>>
>>738046912
Sorry I thought a SM chapter was 1 million. Star Wars would actually rather easily defeat the Astartes. As for the rest of 40k, SW loses due to attrition defeat. SW easily out classes the 40k verse, but simply does not have the manpower to kill them faster than they can suicide charge their few ships.
