From what I've hear Luke at his prime is quite powerful, how does he fare against Pre-heresy Emperor?

I have no idea who that is, but Luke worked together with a force sensitive planet to fire a huge burst of force lightning that destroyed crippled the an entire Yuuzhan Vong Fleet and brought an end to the New Jedi Order series.

So Luke has my vote until until this other guy can do one better.

Oh, I didn't realize we where dealing with a complete RAPE here. Theres only a so much a Jedi can do with the force, even if that Jedi is Luke Skywalker. God-Emperor of Mankind take it.

Now if this where GEoMK vs. the Force, the Force would win.

No, actually it doesn't, particularly if the fight doesn't take place in Mimban itself. You need something along the lines of Luke gaining the full power of the Valley of the Jedi for him to become a meaningful player in the big leagues of Warhammer 40k.

The Kaibur Crystal from Lucas's own words state it would multiply a being power in the Force a thousand fold. Given Luke's power already, yes it would. The Valley of the Jedi is shit.

Proof of God Emperor making supernova blasts. The same people hyped alpha class librarians as planet destroyers which even your own WH40K fans found as fanwank and simply hype.

The supernova claim comes from Bill King's short story (official, published in the White Dwarf magazine), that I already quoted in the GEoM vs Thanos thread. The relevant part follows:

The Emperor sees the trap that has been set for him. He has been restraining himself, trying not to hurt one who had been as a son to him. Now he sees that there is no trace of his trusted comrade left. He knows that he must stop this semblance of his former friend and avenge the fallen Terminator. He must strike one deadly blow. He will get no other chance.

He gathers every particle of his power, focuses it into a mighty bolt of pure force, more coherent than a laser, more destructive than an exploding sun. He aims it as Horus, a lance of power destined for the madman's heart. Horus senses the upsurge of energy and turns to face the Emperor, a look of horror on his face.

The Emperor lets fly. It strikes the Warmaster. Horus screams as destruction rains down on him, twisting and writhing in titanic agony. He strives frantically to counter the Emperor's deathblow but his struggles become more feeble as the lethal energies play over him.

There is an argument for this being hyperbole, but considering that Tzeentch (who is weaker than the GEoM) is just doing the equivalent of giving a speech when he does this...

When Tzeentch spoke, the planet shook. Its crust and mantle were torn off and to this day, they say, Thalassocres is not one planet but a shoal of drifting continents surrounding a single core. Those not powerful enough to hear the words of Tzeentch were thrown off into the warp, but the strongest stayed, their courts remaining glorious on the floating shelves of melting rock.
Tzeentch spoke to them of impossible things, of the tangled threads of fate that ran through the universe like threads of a tapestry, of the immense shifting components of reality - time, space, the massed minds of humanity and the dozens of alien species that had yet to play their parts, the mindless hordes of predators teeming in the warp, the powers of Chaos themselves. The Greatest of Tzeentch's followers could divine meaning from the stream of concepts the voice of Tzeentch conveyed. Some found intricate plots for them to enact on reality. Others saw glimpses of a future they could alter, or bring to pass. Some saw only desolation and hatred, and revelled in it, for they were the most savage agents of the Change.
Some were destroyed, unable to comprehend the majesty of the Change God's vision.
...
Fore days on end, measured in the strange timescale of the warp, Ghargatuloth recieved the revelation of Tzeentch. The other daemon princes looked on in awe, hatred and jelousy. Some were certain that Ghargatuloth would be destroyed. The daemons at his feet were swept aside by the tide of revelations. The substance of Thalassocres was further fractured by the sheer power of Tzeentch. There was a permanent scar left on the warp, a dark barren shadow, but Ghargatuloth remained.

Tzeentch is by no means weaker than the God-Emperor, not even close.

Tell that to those Greater Daemons of Tzeentch who, towards the end of Eye Of Terror, showed doubts about the outcome of the fight between Chaos and the GEoM once the Emperor completes his transformation into a Warp God.

Right ... It was Horus, buffed, against the Emperor.
Like Abaddon, he has the same blessing Horus had, yet it took him 13 crusades to break through the Imperial gates.
You have to understand that the "Horus Heresy" is written partly based on Imperial propaganda.

The hierarchy would go something like this.

Tier V - Chaos Gods
Khorne
Tzeentch
Nurgle
Slaanesh

Tier IV - Racial Gods
Hive-mind
Gork & Mork
Starchild, the God-Emperor
Asuryan
Y'nnead
Khaine
Vaul
Cegorach
Isha
Kurnous
Lileath
Morai-Heg
Gia

Tier III - C'tan Star Gods
Void Dragon
Outsider
Nightbringer
Deceiver

Tier II - Demi-Gods
Pre-Heresy God-Emperor of Mankind
Horus, blessed by the Chaos Gods

Tier I - Primarches
Angron
Sanguinius
Alpharius
Magnus the Red
Ferrus Manus
Konrad Curze
Corax
Fulgrim
Mortarion
Perturabo
Lorgar
Jaghatai Khan
Rogal Dorn

The God Emperor is actually freaking stronger than the Chaos Gods if you can blieve it :wtf

His very will, the strength of his power was eating away at the Chaos God's power in the warp. That's why they needed Horus.

When Horus face the God Emperor the power of all four God was in him but such was the fury of The Emperor's attack they fled Horus's body.

Even his wards upon The Primarchs were too strong for the Chaos Gods to breach fully. All they could do were scatter the children.

People misunderstand the Chaos Gods. If they were all powerful they would have won by now. If they had flesh bodies people would realise they're more akin too the C'Tan or The Emperor.

If the Chaos Gods are so mighty why are they in such danger from the C'Tan shutting them out of reality?

The Emperor's only weakness was being human. He loved Horus and that was a fatal weakness and opening.

If they'd shut off that damn Throne he'd reincarnate and be just as mighty as he once was.

Can Emerald Lightning go through Terminator armour? Terminator armour blessed by the Gods of Chaos themselves (4+ invu save rather than 5+). And Abbadon has a Demon Rune too.

Plus I seem to recall he's toughness five. Translated into real terms that the ability to shrugs off sword wounds and bullets.

And yes, Greater Demons and Demon Princes are stronger than Abbadon. They are, afterall, immortal unless killed by their God or in the Warp. In The Chaos Codex there's a bit where one guy wonders why Abby hasn't taken up the prize of immortality yet. It's a step above what he is now.

Sure he's one of the very stronguest special characters in 40K, probably second only too the C'Tan. But he is still a living, human Space Marine. He's what you get if you give a Chapter Commander 10, 000 years to level up.

And what the fuck? He sin't close to Horus.

No he's not, never was and never will be.

His very will, the strength of his power was eating away at the Chaos God's power in the warp. That's why they needed Horus.
No, he was uniting the galaxy, which would mean less suffer which would lead to less rage, scheming, despair and decadence, hence less emotions to feed of for the Chaos Gods.
Besides Horus wanted to worship the Emperor, but the Emperor didn't want to be worshipped, but Horus later found Gods that did.

When Horus face the God Emperor the power of all four God was in him but such was the fury of The Emperor's attack they fled Horus's body.
The Chaos Gods cannot manifest all their power in a living avatar, they used Horus because he had much potential, that could be filled with chaos power.
The Chaos Gods cannot manifest outside of the warp, all the crap about the Gods escaping his body is Imperial propaganda--it was obviously chaos energy.

Even his wards upon The Primarchs were too strong for the Chaos Gods to breach fully. All they could do were scatter the children.
The Emperor made a pact with the Chaos Gods, have you even read the series?

People misunderstand the Chaos Gods. If they were all powerful they would have won by now. If they had flesh bodies people would realise they're more akin too the C'Tan or The Emperor.
They are restricted to the Warp, all they can do is affect the physical universe with some of their essance (greater daemons)

If the Chaos Gods are so mighty why are they in such danger from the C'Tan shutting them out of reality?
Because the C'tan's want to cut the link between the Warp and the physical reality, and greater daemons and possessed warriors are not enough to stop them.

The Emperor's only weakness was being human. He loved Horus and that was a fatal weakness and opening.
You forgot to mention how the Emperor in the past was almost killed by an orc warboss and was saved by Horus.

If they'd shut off that damn Throne he'd reincarnate and be just as mighty as he once was.
Fact is the Imperial does have the tech to actually 'wake him up' but they're afraid of the fact that the Starchild (the soul of the Emperor, in the warp) has been corrupted by Chaos.

All Gods exist within the Warp, with the exception of the C'tan, even the Emperor's soul is there now buffed by the beleif of men.
Yet the four Chaos Gods are stated time after time to be the most powerful beings in the warp.

Why? - Because the racial Gods, unlike the Chaos Gods, feeds of prayer and beleif.
While Khorne for instance feeds of each time someone expresses anger or hate.
The Chaos Gods are for the insecure ones, and their followers don't worship them, in the same sense, all they desire is power. As long as the Gods feed them power they'll return the favor.

The Hive-mind, Gork & Mork are more powerful than the Starchild because outside the M41 galaxy the galaxies are mostly populated by Tyranids and Orks.

That actually doesn't answer the question. That just shows he has regeneration. I'm asking if he needs air as any halfways competant force user can restrict air flow without causing any actual damage to the person. Now some characters with regeneration can heal from suffocation, however there are also some who's regeneration powers end as soon as they die so suffocation can kill them.

Space Marines are supposed to fight in Squads, not by themselves.

And those squads are in companies.

And those companies are in chapters...

They can deal with Jedi. They repeatedly fight worse things.

And Imperium forces have loads of things to deal with the effects of the warp and Warp-Magics. If we're crossing over the universes I say they should work against the Force too.

You have to think story Space Marines, not the ones limited by game rules.

Nihlus may eat worlds but three guys up close took him down.

In case you forgot Space Marines can destroy worlds too: Exterminus. Sure it's weaponry, not perosnal power, but whatever gets the job done.

He can resist the powers of black holes or manipulate them, he shattered an entire mountain fortress without trying to with a single thought to nothing. And his feats shit on the Space Marines or Chaos Marines.

The Exile is a void in the Force which weakened Nihilus even further(he wasn't even close to full-power plus he was spending most of his energy trying to keep the Ravager intact) plus Space Marines tend to lose badly against those mind-shattering monsters. Unless you count Grey Knights as SMs.

Shit like that happens all the time in 40K, it's just uselly it's fleets with Virus bombs or Cyclone Torpedoes instead of some magic power. So what does it matter. If you're on that world you're still dead.

Meanwhile how many Force users are of that level? There are thousands of Imperial Capital ships that can commit Exterminus. And that's just the Imperium.

Sure these Jedi are mighty but the galexy is a big place and so is the Imperium. It hasn't lasted ten thousand years by rolling over whenever some super psyker freak showed up.

How long do you think it would take the Imperium to create a responce do you think? A few years? Nothing to the Imperium. Can these Jedi deal with the Officious Assassinorium? The Ordo Mallus? The horrors of psykers and the Warp?

Something doesn't have to be big to be dangerous. Rather that these Jedi are so powerful it just encourages more subtle methods.

also seeing how most of the time the rebels win against the empire even though having inferior weps, this is a big bonus for the warhammer 40k army :amuse

Explain how ST wins. Now. SW hyperdrive allows the Empire to move across the galaxy in a matter of hours or days. With warp drive, it takes the Feds decades to move across their own galaxy. Plus there's that firepower advantage.

BTW, only reason that the Rebels won is that the Emperor was arrogant and careless. When he died, the Empire fractured and descended into feudalism, with different warlords in control of their own sector.

i already said why star trek would win. the weapon that could produce life and destroy life in matter of seconds.. COUPLE that with superior long range capabilities.
deathstar's range of attack is ridiculously small compared to some of the ships the star trek posses.

anyway back to the warhammer vs starwars debate

in terms of elites, the warhammer 40k wins in this category.

sure you have your sith and jedis, but thats it. but compared that to imperium's space marines, terminators, psykers, the immortal 10,000 custodes, etc. basically the list goes on and on.

if we are talking about ships, sure the galactic empire may have the sun crusher and what not, but exactly how many do they have and can produce these killers? very little.

the IOM has more planet killing ships than the GE will ever have. thus, if they were to do battle against each other, IOM would probably lose in the beginning but then the GE would face harsher and harsher punishment from the ongoing production of more planet killing fleets.

Terminators are shit to the high tiers in either WH40K or SW EU. Star Trek ships are completely inferior, technologically, weapons, transporation, communication, numbers and powers.

The only thing that the STverse has is the Q, and that's the only reason. Empire would ass-stomp every faction in Star Trek, Romulans, Federation, Dominion and the Klingons and the Borg.

ST factions are weak. Federation = 200 member worlds.

Empire = 2/3 million member worlds on a simple number basis of planets alone.

Anti, Star Trek firepower isn't in the hundreds or thousands of gigatons or megatons.

A single ISD can reduce a planet to glass in a few hours.

Provided the God-Emperor holds back a bit like he did against Chaos Horus, then it's slightly possible. Luke was able to talk to Zenoma Sakot, a sentient planet which percieves things that normal beings in the SWverse would consider above their mental constituion on a near equal basis.

Luke was long since dead. Whats your point? The Galactic Empire is larger then the Imperium of Man.

Not really. The IoM is nearly an entire galaxy. Galaxies are tens of billions of stars. If the IoM even has 1% of those, thats over a million stars, and some of those have more then one habited planet. The Imperium outnumbers them.

And as for the Suncrusher, there was only one in existence and it was sent inside a black hole. Also, the knowledge for the tech has been lost, and the IoM doesn't even blink at the loss of a starsystem, unlike the GE.

Also, IoM ships are protected against the warp in addition to their shields. If we go warp==force, then the Jedi can't blow them up with the force like they did against the Rebels or whatever.

As for Marines vs Jedi... A basic marine has better speed, reflexes, strength, etc. then just about any jedi, but the jedi have their force powers which pretty much even it up... I'd say the average marine is more along the lines of a mid-tier jedi, with Librarians equal to low high-tier or higher depending on which. I mean, Librarians are more then powerful enough to enslave entire planets, they can stop time, have instant pre-cog, and can do most of the feats that were described for high-tier force users. (assume alpha level librarians) Maybe they can't blow up entire fleets and move black holes with their minds, but this is the nitty gritty there is no good only worse type of universe compared to the good guys always win through some sort of thing type high fantasy kind of universe. Those kinds of psychic powers would make the game pretty much useless.

But the power of a star is millions of times greater than a planet, thousand don't quite cut it.

People arent planets or stars, 1000 times the strength to lift 200 lbs= The ability to lift 200000 lbs now if this person entered the strongest man in the world competition i think 1000-fold cuts it. Same for luke, if his power is per say on a level of 500/600 and the emp.'s is 499/600. Multiply each fraction by 1000. though its still not a big difference its enough

The IoM does not consist of the whole galaxy, the Sabbat Crusade disagrees. Secondly the Galactic Empire was the entire known galaxy in SWverse barring the unknown region which is insigifnigant to owning countless solar system and millions upon millions of worlds.

And hypothetical matches between Imperium of Man and the Galactic Empire would give it to the Empire, Sun Crusher residing in a black hole or not, the IoM has nothing to deal with it.

It wasn't a supernova and it wasn't the entirety of one either. The Sun Crusher would be easy to stop. It's small, it's underpowered, and even if conventional weapons won't breach the armor, non-lethal means are well within the realm of securing it.

In the words of the Orks: TELLYPORTAS!

Unlike regular teleportation like you'd see in most sci-fi, WH40K teleportation doesn't simply dissolve matter and reconstitute it elsewhere. Instead, it literally forces a tunnel in the Warp and shoves the target through. It'd be like using the Force to teleport in, and last I heard the Sun Crusher wasn't invulnerable to Force manipulation.

Hell no. Steal an Ork Shokk gun and use it on them. What's a Shokk gun, you ask? Allow me to explain:

Take one giant shoota with a tellyporta stuck on it. Stick a grot (snotling or gretchin) into the barrel. Aim in the general direction of the target, and fire. The grot gets shot out, and promptly enters a warp tunnel. The exit of the tunnel is in the vicinity of the target, or even inside the target itself. This gun could make Space Marines explode. Even if it DOESN'T land directly inside something vital, the grot is completely insane from unprotected Warp exposure, and is basically a berserk ball of fury.

No one is teleporting into a Sun Crusher. There's a difference from the God-Emperor making supernovas and the Sun Crusher making multiples ones. Other then teleporting it to a different location, the IoM has nothing that can do shit to it.

As usual from your posts, your pulling this out of your ass. The Sun Crusher sat in a nebula, blew up a couple stars, took out the Carida system and just sat there.

And considering the fact that it's armor that stops all those lethal energies and radiation as well as cosmic radiation and what not would avoid teleporting too. Simple as that.

The key to its near invincibility was layered molecular armor, a material so strong that it could resist even turbolaser shots. Han Solo once was able to ram the Sun Crusher straight through the bridge of the Imperial-class Star Destroyer Hydra without taking any significant damage. The Sun Crusher was also equipped with a hyperdrive and was designed to slip unnoticed into a system, fire its weaponry, and then escape before its presence was detected.

The Sun Crusher's primary weapon was a payload of 11 energy resonance torpedoes. Each torpedo resembled an oval-shaped plasma discharge and was activated when it passed through the Sun Crusher's resonance torpedo launcher. The resonance torpedo then traveled to the system's sun at near-lightspeed velocity.


The Sun Crusher rips through the Star Destroyer Hydra's command tower. Upon it's impact, the torpedo burrowed into the star's core, releasing dense packets of energy that rendered the star's core unstable, initiating a chain-reaction supernova that forced even low-mass stars to go supernova. The star would be ripped apart in the explosion, sending waves of energy and radiation out across the system that destroyed every planet and all life in its path. The Sun Crusher could obliterate an entire system in mere hours. Once launched into the star, it was impossible to stop the impending supernova

Darklyre

You do realize that no armor is able to resist a Warp teleport, right? This isn't like Star Trek where they beam someone down. This is literally going through another dimension and opening up a hole at the target location. Unless there's some kind of shield or equipment to block dimensional travel, that teleport goes through.
