They can survive just fine. In Lord of the Night a 10,000-year old unmanned cruiser crashes into a planet. The ship survives without major damage, and the only passenger in stasis survives unharmed.

At the end, (SPOILERS) did the Nexus Arrangement, aside from being able to block out the warp from an area, wake up the Undying One? So now Marduk has a pissed-off necron lord chasing him in a giant tombship? (/SPOILERS)

Page 59 The Magnificat was in mid-stream when the eastern sky lit up brightly. There was a sucking shudder, like a wind-rush over the water. The easter horizon blazed with a midnight sun. ... Gaunt raised a hand to shield his eyes from the glare as a heat-wash rolled down the river. He knew the bla...

aggg, trying to remember clearly, but as for exterminatus being permanent, I swear I read a short story where a planet's background was that it had been through exterminatus roughly a thousand years after the Horus Heresy, was recolonized only to be become an over grown jungle deathworld in modern ...

Is it possible that these "exterminator" ships simply focus most of their firepower into one huge weapons battery on their nose? It seems that virus bombs and cyclonic torpedos have similar firestorm effects (once the diseased gas is ignited). Is the explosive power of a cyclonic torpedo f...

It appears during the comic series Bloodquest, it's commanded by a demon prince of Tzeentch. It was built using the resources of a single demon-world, and apparently two similarly-sized Imperium battlewagons engaged it in the comic.

Plenty of people have met Omegon as he is the captain of the 10th company. The secret is that he's not just a space marine, he's a primach as well. Aren't primarchs a good deal bigger than your average space marine? Wouldn't anyone wonder why a Captain was half again as tall as he should be, or why...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is so hilariously ironic: it seems that the cabal's vision was a self-fulfilling prophecy, since it assumes that the Alpha Legion turns to Chaos. If Horus wins humanity dies and so on, but it assumes that if the Emperor triumphs it will be by only a slight margin–en...

Along with "140 meters" and Storm of Iron specifying that it's an Imperator?

Weedkillers? Really? I heard they were fungal-based, but considering their enemies (the technologically godlike Necrontyr and their C'Tan masters) I would've expected the Old Ones to have hardened them against chemical warfare to some degree.. Evidently not a priority. Observe that they don't insti...

They get to balance it out with other stuff though.... :D To be fair, the only reason a reasonable size ork force could potentially be stopped is because RL weedkillers do a number on them. Weedkillers? Really? I heard they were fungal-based, but considering their enemies (the technologically godli...

Well of course you'd like that. Most Imperial players would love that, simply because they can't stand to see a civilization that has hope and survives. They're too used to that sort of thing getting wiped out before the end of the paragraph. :roll: Wait, what? The Orks are my favorite race and the...

It helps that since the Tau are not very Warpy, they don't have to resort to the brutal methods the have been forced on the Imperials. The thought of the Tau slowly developing a psychic presence as humanity once did warms the cockles of my heart. They lack the faith, the ruthlessness, and the sheer...

Poison gas takes time and effort to produce and has its own problems, like hovercraft at the very least being NBC sealed-and if one of them runs off, manages to shrug off whatever tailing units there are, and comes back after the humans have resettled... they break the illusion. Assuming that the m...

Something like that. The Emperor was experimenting with usage of the Eldar Webway in the depths of the Palace. When Magnus the Red used his warpcraft to alert the Emperor to Horus' betrayal, it caused some bad ju-ju, and daemons started popping out of the Webway Portal. Hence the necessity of the T...

Aren't the sentinels the only other enemies in the scenario with the agents? So no fresh bodies or machine guns.

Isn't a Mars-class Warhound canonically 410 tons?

Would that explain how the Halo activation killed off the Forerunners? Rampant AI set it off?

As we know next to nothing about it, that's, while probable, not entirely certain. The only other appearance of Neturonium, in 40k, is dead on accurate. "Neutron star material" the only reason the machine existed was because the Emperor himself had fucked gravity with some sorcerous weird...

Because the Orks are, at the core of their existance, British football hooligans 40,000 years in the future.

What I meant was, what powers do C'tan have (since they're obviously not psykers or warp gods)? My only experience with a C'tan is seeing the Deceiver trash a few servitors then get trapped in stasis in Deus Ex Mechanicus , so I'm a bit confused as to why they're so feared. After all, IIRC Cypher fo...

Offtopic question relating to this latest campaign: why are the Blackstones so important against the C'tan? Couldn't a vortex missile, psyker with that warp vortex ability, or normal warp rift kill one since the Warp is anathema to them? Related to that, what makes the C'tan so badass? Can they expl...

Ghetto edit: beaten by a minute.

Why not just two angles in degrees and a distance? Something along the lines of "30.067 degrees (right of the bow), 42.098 degrees (above the bow), 3012.626 kilometers (away)."

Wouldn't it be more tragic if he was using the powers of the Chaos gods for good ends and not being corrupted by it until the Emperor set the Wolves on him?
