There is a distinction between what Forerunners called combat suits, and combat skins. The Seekers and Sphinxes are suits, the skins are, well, skins.
Suffice it to say, a multi-time augmented Forerunner warrior in a Skin 6 times as powerful as MJOLNIR with weaponry technology on par with much of 40K, a lot like a gauss weapon actually in how they disenegrate their targets, could hold their own. Which was point to begin with, the Forerunners could easily fight the 40K universe. Not necessarily win, not against all of them, but they are quite comparable in a lot of respects.
Superior in a few too, if you as me.
? I was referring to how in the fight against humanity in both the Librarian scene and some terminals show the forerunners only using combat skins with no War Sphinxes visible. Many of the effects we saw in the terminals were definetely not world shattering.
As for the disintegration, that clearly does not happen with all weapons. I have not seen suppressors, bolt shots, or lightrifles cause disintegration.
Some forerunners can hold their own and they are superior to 40k in some respects (slipspace, for example), but 40k manages to stay ahead with things like time travel, predicting the future, destroying the galaxy, black holes in a birthday box, black hole cannons, and physical gods.
That's what I was saying. They were wearing Combat Skins, not using war sphinxes, a totally different classification of suit. Sphinxes, or Seekers, could devestate a planet in numbers, but the combat skin users are just overpowered soldiers, like Space Marines, nothing world devestating.
In my other post I was talking about the Seekers. If they're let loose, terrestrial warfare becomes a moot point.
But it does happen with a lot of their weapons, I never said it happens with all.
And to the last, I know. Conventionally, the Forerunners can fight the 40K universe. Even a black hole cannon is still only one weapon vs. a trillions strong armada. Obviously Chaos would be a bit of an issue.
My original point was that the Forerunners weren't as weak as that guy made them out to be. I know they'd lose alone against the galaxy of 40K, but they would give them a royal fight.
