Warhammer 40k wins.

I think every faction in 40k could take this challenge solo and come out on top. It's not because the 40K factions are necessarily broken and over-powered, but just because of the resources they can muster. It would be a war of attrition perfectly suited for the grim darkness of the 41st millennium.[/quote]
Yep Imperial Guard, orks and Tyranids the 3 biggest armies of the 40k universe could just throw millions of men at a time in a single attack not caring for lives.
So they'll hand the Flood an easy victory, then.
The Tyranids aren't an infection, but a swarm of aliens created from the biomass of those they kill. The Flood, with a 100% infection rate if you so much as touch it, or breath the same air as it, would welcome a suicide rush. 40K, being as big and powerful as it is, would ironically fall to the Flood faster than a weaker, smaller universe. Especially given the universe's mantra of throwing enough bodies at it until it stops coming. The Flood turns every advantage its victims have against themselves; it's what makes them so dangerous.
And with the Orks, the Flood suddenly has an infinite food supply.
Though unless the Jedi can use the Force to stop Chaos, the point is moot.
Exterminatus, everything dies on the planet it is fired upon ALL BIOMASS. In the hand of the Imperium of Man
And? The Forerunners used stars as weapons against the Flood. ** They'd shoot it with their ships, cause a star to supernova and wipe out the solar system the Flood was in, vaporizing them completely.
They still lost.
**that's another thing. Forerunners are already comparable to much of 40K as is.
Asset denial is the only way to slow the Flood down. When they attack in full force you have two options: die, and die faster. You either join them, or commit suicide. Exterminatus is a self-destructive act used only as a last resort, usually when a planet is overrun. With the Flood, no matter who wins, you lose.
