Well yes but on the bright side, unless your an Eldar you won't actually 'feel' it because your soul is far too weak to remain sentient or even aware once freed of your body.

Actually it's worse than that, the last Nid codex had it as more Tyranids than their are bullets/ammunition in the Imperium.Base Delta Zero wrote:You think the Imperium would have a problem with that?It's already been established that barring the forced military indoctrination of almost every single man, woman, and child in the Imperium, the Tyranids will eventually overrun everything.
But yeah, I'm going to put 'Everyone Loses', because really, no matter what happens, it's probably going to suck.
(The glory of Nidwanking, who needs planet busting barges

On that vein, do warp sensitive humans also remain insensible after death or does their warp presence from when they were alive doom them also to sentience and horror?Well yes but on the bright side, unless your an Eldar you won't actually 'feel' it because your soul is far too weak to remain sentient or even aware once freed of your body
In the Necron Codex, it said that the Old Ones (the Slaan) did create the Orks and Eldar (and the Jokaero, and others).The Yosemite Bear wrote:for the war can not end, although it will someday be reviled that Chaos undevided, the eldar, the nids, and the boyz are all really just pawns of the slaan....
The Dark Eldar Archon in this campaign would make a perfect necron ally. Seriously, grab her, bring her before a C'tan, and have him say 'You will do as I say, and I shall give you... 10% of the planet's population as slaves...' after all, she wants to raid the planet for slaves, the C'tan want to cut it off. Not exactly mutually exclusive.Coalition wrote:When the forum comes up I'm going to put a few thoughts down on the Necron side, reminding everyone that our plan is to isolate the galaxy, which means we have to deal with the Tyranids, Orks, and Chaos. The Eldar and Tau are small, so can be disposed of at our leisure (let's see Eldar pop in/out when their warp gates are blocked). The Imperium has already been taken over, so they are not a problem.
Obviously, but I think we're supposed to put real-life financial considerations asideStark wrote:Nobody is ever going to win, since that would kill GWs little cash-cow.
.Only the IoM has the manpower to fight the Necrons - the Tau are too small (think big fish in a small pond, I think that's how the designer's notes actually described them), and the Eldar don't really have much they can use against them unless they can create Ynnead double-quick, and even then it's not certain (gotta get Slaanesh first).My hope is that an Imperial/Eldar/Tau Alliance is formed to fight the Necrons or Tyranids. (Or Imp/Eldar/Tau/Necron vs Tyranids)
Don't we allI would certainly like the Imperium to win
.Must've been one helluva jump for the Tau to get from the Eastern Fringe to the Eye of Terror (ie where Medusa is)There is supposed to be a Warp storm coming near, that the Tau want to study

While I also love the Boyz, I know they'll never unite and WAAAAAAAAGGGGHHH!!! the hell out of everyone else. The problem is whether they'd (a) be able to make something powerful enough (best we've seen are Norn Queens, which aren't nearly good enough) and (b) they'd know about the C'Tan weakness to psychics. A lot of that stuff is locked away in inorganic form - in the vaults on Terra, the Black Library (which is wholly within the webway IIRC, so the Tyranids will have a hard time reaching it) etc, so I'm not even sure if they could extract it from a living being.Akhlut wrote:it might be possible for them to construct living blackstone fortresses to blast the C'tan, thus ruining the Necron's shit.
True, I'm just stating the possibility. This is more rife speculation, but they probably limit themselves to Norn Queens due to energy requirements of psyker abilities. I can't imagine it would be easy to satsify the amount of energy to create a giant psyker brain capable of Blackstone Fortress like blasts. And they currently haven't seen reason to create a giant psychic ship with such capabilities.Teleros wrote:The problem is whether they'd (a) be able to make something powerful enough (best we've seen are Norn Queens, which aren't nearly good enough) and (b) they'd know about the C'Tan weakness to psychics.

On what page is that claim that there are more nids than bullets?DEATH wrote:Actually it's worse than that, the last Nid codex had it as more Tyranids than their are bullets/ammunition in the Imperium.
More recent Fluff theorizes that theres about a Splinter fleet per planet in the Imperium
-- Asuka Going from memory, there's a quote saying that if every bolt and lasgun hit a 'Nid and killed one (one shot, one kill), there still wouldn't be enough to kill all the Nids.Lord Zentei wrote:On what page is that claim that there are more nids than bullets?
Fortunately, you can recharge lasgun cells by putting them around the burning corpses of the Nids that you depleted the lasguns on.Akhlut wrote:Going from memory, there's a quote saying that if every bolt and lasgun hit a 'Nid and killed one (one shot, one kill), there still wouldn't be enough to kill all the Nids.Lord Zentei wrote:On what page is that claim that there are more nids than bullets?

That would be a nasty surprise, but take a look at the Tyranid ship speeds. Those things are slow, and a Fortress would be slower. Now a temporary ship that forms the structure when defending/attacking a planet, that could work.Akhlut wrote:Also, the 'Nids have the numeric superiority and the ability to make psychic artillery at whim. While this is entirely conjectural, it might be possible for them to construct living blackstone fortresses to blast the C'tan, thus ruining the Necron's shit. The rest of the races are otherwise incapable of stopping the 'Nids. Every Eldar, human, Ork, Hrud, Tau, or other creature that falls only adds biomass and genetic material to the Tyranid forces.
What keeps them from simply bashing the original blackstone fortresses into bits? I'd imagine the same thing, really. That is to say, I have no damned clue.Matt Huang wrote:Hmmn, a living Nid blackstone fortress...what's to keep the C'Tan from simply munching on it's life-force?

I'm hoping you're joking, there.
