Well Universe, I was talking with one person over Omegele about Warhammer 40k. I said that the Halo universe would destroy it in combat, but this person disagreed with me. So who do you think will win?

i think that Halo got this one with the Covenant ships could wipe out Tau, and Flood are equally matched to Tyranid.
Edit: Halo Universe cant use the Rings, and WH40K cant use their OP God.
And they are fighting a space battle in the middle of nowhere.

warhammer is overpowered


And read this

Because glassing is such an effective and useable mass destruction tool.

EVERYTHING in warhammer is overpowered as hell. Halo would be swatted aside with no effort.

  • 08.02.2011 11:09 AM PDT

Am I supposed to write something funny here?

Glassing isn't that powerful anymore, and if tyranids won't win flood, necrons will.

Anyone who says the WH40K universe would lose to Halo is a fanboy, or woefully ignorant of WH40K. Seriously.

The only races in Halo that could stand to them are the Forerunners, Precursors and Flood. The other two would get wiped clean off the map in space battles (ground fights might be different though).

Now, from memory, 40K has a super-God that kills Gods for -blam!- s and giggles, so even the Precursors might not be able to stand to that.

Halo factions only stand a chance in 1V1 fights, or if that supergod is left out for the sake of argument, at which point it would be a paradoxile tie between the Precursors and WH gods as neither would really be ablre to harm the other.

and the main reason that would be is due to slipspace which doesn't exist in warhammer, or atleast man needs to use some thingy to use it.


even then that would be alot since we are talking about ALL of warhammer vs those two races.


The flood,UNSC and covenant shouldn't even be brought into this topic

But what if the UNSC used NOVA bombs against the Imperium, and had a Halo 1 pistol?

Still -blam!-ed.

Ya also considering they did not have many Nova Bombs.

Well that and the fact the UNSC wouldn't survive a week fighting them.

The Imperium has bigger bombs. Melta Torpedoes, Cyclonic Missiles, Atmospheric Incinerators, Virus Bombs, Blackstone Fortresses... The list goes on and on and on.
I'm sure regulars here know my stance.

What advantage is it when the default Space Marine firearm fires a bullet far larger then anything the UNSC uses?

Not sure about the speed, but otherwise WH40K FTL is crap. If some shield fails, demons pour in and kill everybody. =P

No, slipspace is more reliable in the sense that, yes while it is dangerous, it doesn't actively try to kill you with hordes of Deamons.

"but you already knew that, I mean, how couldn't you?

Only when no Human brick is left atop another, shall we be satisfied with your destruction.

Assuming by 'Halo' you mean the UNSC or Covenant, then any major 40K faction can crush them easily.


Why do people insist on comparing Halo to 40k, or Star Wars?
That's way above the UNSC/Covenant's throw weight. You are comparing galaxy-spanning civilisations to civilisations that are barely out of the Orion arm.




The Flood have a good chance of victory if they have the initial time to spread, but that's not so much 'Halo vs 40k' as it is 'Floodified 40k vs regular 40k'.
If they are found early they are reasonably easily contained, as 40k ships are much slower than the Forerunner ones...

If you meant the Forerunners vs 40k, then it's likely they could do it if they used the Halos, but otherwise they are very outnumbered, while they will absoloutely decimate any 40k units they encounter, there aren't that many Forerunner, and the 40k galaxy actually has reasonable numbers for galaxy-spanning civilisations. By that I mean their troop counts are most easily written in scientific notation.

They also write the amount of Hive Worlds in scientific notation, just FYI.
Since the OP says no gods I am :(. That removes someone from every faction (except Tau cause they are the atheist).

But then again the warp is anything but consistent. You could arrive before you left or 10000 years late. The Webway is much more reliable and faster than anything else. The inetrialess drive of the Necrons is also good.

Well thats why I went on to say the only hope the Forerunners have is a 1v1 fight since they basically belong in the 40K universe in terms of firepower in the first place.

The only hope contemporary Halo factions have is a ground only engagement (which I don't doubt the UNSC ingenuity, and nor do I see the WH40K ground forces leveling continents), or if the UNSC starts mass producing NOVA bombs.

And frankly, the only hope mortal 40K factions have against the Precursors is if the non-mortals came in to help them, which would likely result in a paradox of infinite power shooting at infinite defense.

In turn, the only hope the Precursors have is if that most-OPed-god-of-all-OPed-gods-ever guy doesn't show up. Although in retrospect, he'd probably find the fight amusing and conjure up some cosmic pop corn and watch the carnage unfold.

The Flood's primary hope is their tenacity. If they found a world they could use as a starting point, I could see them causing trouble.

But in any straight up universe vs universe fight, Halo either loses or it ties due to paradox.

Unless the Halo Universe itself comes into play, which aparently is alive on some cosmic, unimaginable plane of existence. At that point, who knows what happens.

A single Cadian regiment (I should note that they where one of the smaller regiments) fired enough ordnance to level an entire continent in a single engagement. The Guard are some of the best land forces known to man. Their armor is more than double the strength of today's armor while weighing barely half as much. The standard lasgun is also capable of blowing an arm off in a single shot.

Rob the space marines are far more..."better" than the spartans, they could kill a spartan before he even thought about what happened. You then have the large exoskeletons and such the tau use which are far larger than a scarab and pack more fighter power.


Not to mention they have a far larger population compared to halo, the tau would rival if not surpass the forerunner pop.


the nids are FAR more advanced and deadly than the flood are.


seriously, anybody that even knows a fraction of warhammer would know that only 2 races have a slim chance in a fight.

I'm talking about shot per shot, they do not have enough force behind them to destroy a continent. The Cadians fired enough rounds because they had numbers on their side, not because the rounds themselves were freakishly powerful. So in a ground-based engagement of say 1000 vs 1000, it'd be more fair.

And about the lasgun, so can the plasma rifle. The games never depict such occurences, but they are of sufficient strength to melt organs, cook skin and destroy limbs. Hell, a single needle round shredded the internal organs of a Marine in the Fall of Reach as if he got chainsawed. I remember the specific quote referring to his insides as if they were "meat".

Sisters of Battle.

They charge in there and murder everything, just cause.

While the 40k mankind tactics might be blah, their sheer firepower and armor make up for it.

Edit: I thought it was disproved a long time ago a single Forerunner ground soldier could not destroy a continent.
