Warhammer 40K Vs Halo
Warhammer 40K Vs Halo

In what seemed like a good idea at the time, here by request is the Warhammer 40K universe matched up against the Halo Universe.

I think even if you had 10,000 Spartans, this battle wouldn’t be very close.

Any hope for the Halo universe?

    A quick formula to understanding how defenseless Halo is in this fight.

    Take you standard foot soldier of any Halo faction, then double his height, weight and quadruple his strength.

    Take his standard firearm and replace the current cartridge with (Explosive .75cal shells/Plasma/Dakka Dakka/Daemon spawn), then triple its original size, capacity and firing rate so that it may spew insane amounts of fury upon thine enemies.

    Remove his skin and replace it with a organic titanium based alloy capable of deflecting small rounds upon impact, then continue to sheath your unit in various layers of armour so dense that they can repel any heavy weaponry present in the current Halo universe.

    By following this formula, you’ve come about 1/40,000th of the way to equating the Warhammer 40K universe.

    if you look at theyre war record you will see that the ultramarines alone (pre heresy)would destroy haloverse 30 planets? pre heresy they took that by the week and i would love to see the look on master chiefs face when he saw one of his friends being chewed to little bits by a chainsword or having his skull crushed till it wasnt a solid by terminator armour he’d try to run i know it but you cant out run a space marine ill be very very!!!! nice and say he would last 5 seconds when in truth his killer wouldnt even notice his killing a hero exept to wonder how hard it would be to clean he blood off

    this is like comparing cavemen to the the world of 2009. its retarded to assume that the cavemen have any chance of survival. really, of course warhammer wins. its a pretty nonsensical and farfetched universe without any sort of useful achievement, which is basically just fueled by war. of course halo loses because its not severely overpowered and distant.

    while i do not know much about halo and the halo rings from what i’ve read its like a doomsday device built by the forerunners to kill the flood but i dont know how it works .but im betting a couple of ironclads with planet killer cannons on board could do as much or more damage than the halos so its pretty much a foregone conclusion warhammer would win mostly through numbers if they have to but they will win. its like the mc vs a space marine fight only times a couple billion. and thats assuming they even know about halo correct me if im wrong but wasnt mc the only human that knew about halo and the covenant couldnt find it.

    now rohan google lexicanum and start reading it and soon enough you will agree that there is no hope for halo

    there is a possibility for halo to win. read before you facepalm please. lets say for some reason humans and covenant band together to go conquer some planets and they discovered warhammer and thought to themselves lets go steal some planets from them they wont mind and if they do we can handle them.after this the humans would be after revenge and every thing else would just want to kill them for various reasons.all of warhammer could attack halo at the exact same time old grudges would come up and they might wipe each other of the face of the galaxy leaving halo all alone with all those worlds.or halo could get caught in the cross fire and be destroyed completely just by stray rounds from the most epic war to ever happen.

    come to think of it the sheer awsome from witnessing that might make all the wimpy humans from halo’s heads explode because they didnt grow up in 40k so they wouldnt have built up an tolerance to such epic-ness and wouldnt be able to handle it

    “attack halo at the exact same time old grudges would come up and they might wipe each other of the face of the galaxy leaving halo all alone with all those worlds.”

    They have been wiping eachother off the face of the galaxy for over 10,000 years. I doubt it will end any time soon.

    Anyways, this wouldn’t happen because this is a universe VS universe battle. All of 40k is united with the single goal of destroying the Halo universe. Halo is united with the goal of destroying 40k. 40k wins.

    flood would conquer orks easy orks would keep charging into waves of flood and do nothing but feed them

    flood would be crushed but not easily crushed by marines for the fact marines are stronger spartans and 1 spartan destroyed an entire ship by himself but marines don’t have shields so flood might be able to infect them

    flood would be overwhelmed by tyrannid

    out of flood and eldar the………..well i don’t know the graveminds collective supernatural powers would pose a threat to the psychic powers of the eldar but eldar and flood would be fighting heavily with no real victors since eldar have a naval and range advatage but floods hand to hand advatage makes up for it

    and everyone else the flood would almost certainly lose too

    i only use flood because there the only race that can stand up to any faction in the 40k universe

  • sangheli_special_ops_elite

    You know that some are lost to us, Hotshot is a member of that list, as is sangheli, just ignore him if you want to keep your sanity.

    I have put forth evidence before actually regarding Ork physiology in relation to the flood, and came to somewhat of the conclusion that the Orks might be immune to infection, same with Space Marines, tho my conclusion for that was that Marines are very likely Flood resistant based on my know capabilities of the flood infection form and Space Marine physiology.

    Even if Halo’s pussy suicide devices were set off, Warhammer 40k would still endure. The Tyranid fleets outside the galaxy would be unharmed. Eldar are safe in their Webways. The Necrons would be unaffected. Chaos Gods and their inexhaustible armies are in the Warp. All ships and their passengers travelling through the Warp during the blast would also survive. The Emperor may even use his godlike psyker powers and save most of Humanity from extinction. His body may be dead, but his consciousness and power still remain.

    Halo has nothing that can defeat 40k.

    Plus there’s nothing stopping the Chaos Gods (or one of the many high level individuals) from just dropping the installations into a warp bubble for a few thousand years whilst they disassemble them for spare parts.

    “The Tyranid fleets outside the galaxy would be unharmed”

    I sincerely doubt that even the Tyranids caught within the blast radius would be affected, since they rely more so upon a primordial psychic link rather than any form of individual sentience.

    i Have respect for both universes and any other case i would agree. But the sentinels are around and they can just keep firing the rings. tyranids are just like flood. they would starve. eldar wouldnt care, they would jusyt stay out of it, nobody could harm them. annd the emporor? he has limits.

    I think in the endless combat and war of the WH 40k universe… all the races would use the Halo universe as target practice.

    “But the sentinels are around and they can just keep firing the rings.”

    They can fire them all they want. The Necrons, Eldar, Tyranids, and Chaos powers remain to destroy the Halos and claim victory. 40k wins.

    “tyranids are just like flood. they would starve.”

    Starve the Tyranids?

    The Tyranids feed on planets, not just sentient organisms; they strip the crust of the nutrients and minerals they require and regurgitate it into a feeding pool, where the culmination of the entire planetary biomass is digested and fed into orbiting hiveships via mile long tendrils.

    Starving the Tyranids with denial of sentient organisms is the equivalent of starving a Lion by refusing to feed it vegetables. The futility of your efforts will demonstrate itself once they begin to eat the crust from beneath your feet.

    Why are people voting for Halo? I have yet to see one convincing argument as to how anything the Covenant, UNSC or Flood do can even remotely affect the IoM. Apart from giving them a reliable FTL drive, of course, but slipstream isn’t exactly the Usain Bolt of Faster-than-Light tech.

    Even the most lethal of Halo’s combatants, the flood, can do virtually nothing to any race (Except the Tau, but they’re only still around because no-one has noticed them yet). The Orks may be vulnerable to flood infection, but it is unlikely, to say the least. This is because Orks literally run on psychic energy. The Waaugh effect is the reason Orks can have their head transplanted with an axe, a needle and some thread, and why propeller-powered Ork fighters work in space. Ghazkull, the greatest current Ork Warlord had his brain removed and replaced with a lump of metal, and he’s still killing. Ork technology works because they belive it will, to the extent of red-painted Trukks actually going faster, and Ork tech failing once they have left the system. flood are going to find it hard to infect such a bizarre race, and even if they do they will be completely unable to spread by virtue of being unable to work their ships. At all.

  • Sean0931

    The guard are anything but weak. On average they are far better trained than modern soldiers, and have far more combat experience. Their equipment is orders of magnitude above modern small arms and armour. Most people will know how powerful the lasgun is, shooting through thick concrete walls and thick steel doors and still killing people on the other side (The former was a full-power shot, the latter was regular shots. The soldier shot through a steel door was thrown across a room but survived thanks to his armour). Autoguns are most likely far more powerful than modern arms, from their effects. In “Traitor General” they are described as HEAT rounds, and they show far greater penetration than modern weapons, such as penetrating through the same steel door that the lasgun rounds went through. Guard body armour is also incredible, as in “Straight Silver” a soldier is shot with a .50cal round and the only damage was a serious bruise that he didn’t even notice until later. The average guardsman also carries a huge amount of extra equipment in case they need it; steel rope, flashbangs, 60-hour torch packs, the list is rather long (Honour Guard).

    To summarise, IG are far from mooks that use human wave tactics. Some Planetary Defense Forces are incredibly inept, but most are at or above modern training levels.

    @L-W

    The Tyranids probably would be affected by the Halos, as in the first game they are stated to kill all creatures over a certain level of biomass, any creatures that are capable of supporting the flood, rather than just destroying sentinent life. However, Tyranid microrgansims and smaller Tyranoforms might go unaffected, maybe even rippers, as they do not weigh much more than a flood infection form, which would be unnaffected by the Halos. As entire worlds have been destroyed when a few ‘Nid lab samples are released (Gunheads, I think), it’s safe to say that the Tyranids would grow anew. Besides, firing the rings isn’t really an option, as it is more a MAD than an actual victory. That is if the rings even extend into Warhammer Space, whether the galaxies are interspersed or adjacent isn’t yet given.

    “The Tyranids probably would be affected by the Halos, as in the first game they are stated to kill all creatures over a certain level of biomass, any creatures that are capable of supporting the flood, rather than just destroying sentinent life.”

    Nothing in the Halo canon supports this statement, however there are dozens of quotes that support the specific annihilation of Sentient life.

    the covenant? the imperial navy.

    the MC? tzeentchian horror’s, so he gets killed with multicoloured insanity inducing fire (for more flavour)

    the covenant and unsc might try surrendering to the tau, one of the only forces in 40k, that would only some aspect of the culture’s as well as themselves survive.

    but im pretty sure this is not allowed due to the way the match is set up, its a battle to the death after all.

    gah! too many words, but me thinks the covenent would mirge with the tau empire, or else it would get buttraped 500thousand times over (or even more). But considering that the covenent does have their plasmaweaponry 101 down they might have a chance, but only as a minor race.

    UNSMC doesn’t stand any sort of chance, even just Imp conscripts would just fuck em up :D when I think about it a handfull of flashlights could easily destroy a scorpion in a few seconds >_<

    -yes I know this is a univers vs univers match and 40k wins out-right just out of sheer awsomeness
    and I'm putting my money on that commisar John Fuklaw and 5 angymaries could take on the whole Halo Univers

    Oh and pardon my spelling, I hope that is not an issue

    Actually, the Halo rings can’t pierce the shields of the void shields and etc. So, how is it going to kill Warhammer 40,000.

    Wait! While I think it is dumb for anyone to even consider that Halo-verse could beat the 40k-verse, since in 40k everything a sci-fi setting can have is turned to 11,

    but, I can think of 2 ways the Halo-verse could “survive for slightly more than 10 minutes” and for the second theory, become a part of a 40k faction which actually has a chance of victory within an inter-40k brawl

    1. Assuming the sum of all covenant and UNSC forces simply popped into the 40k milky way fully supplied and already friendly (and assuming Covenant has outgrown superstitions regarding Forerunner tech), they could use their no-risk-of-soul-devouring, non-traveling-through-hell slipspace travel to get to Tau territory and request asylum. The Tau could reverse engineer anything the covenant has (not sure how advanced the Tau’s tech is, im assuming much better than covenant, but maybe they can open up some forerunner artifacts the covenant have but were afraid to tamper with, or just get ideas on stuff to outfit their fire-warriors with like energy-shield gauntlets) and Covenant/UNSC engineers could adapt Tau tech to help them. The Haloverse forces could then settle in as members of the Tau.
    No, there are not nearly enough infantry in the UNSC/Cov. to be meaningful to the Tau, but in addition to Tech, some Cov. races genetic material could help the Kroot out maybe?
    HOWEVER, what would BY FAR be their greatest contribution to the Tau Empire would be SLIPSPACE TRAVEL. the Tau would finally have reliable FTL, which might actually be enough to make them a power to be reckoned with. (Or it will make the Tau just strong enough to be worthy of the Imperium caring, and the Ordo Xenos swats them. But knowing how slow the Imperium responds to anything, it would probably take long enough for the Halo-people to die out from old age, which is better than a lot of people can say in the 40k universe. Meh)

    2. THE FLOOD: This scenario would allow a Halo-faction be sorta-kinda part of one of the only 40k factions with a shot at victory.

    Basically, the Flood encounter the Tyranids, and come to the conclusion that being assimilated by the Tyranids would be good for them.
    A Flood-infested ship crashes into a Hive Fleet with the express purpose of being devoured. Now the ‘Nids are far more adaptable than the Flood, and probably have nothing to gain from the ability to make Combat Forms or Carrier Forms, as they have far more effective and GRIMDARK versions of those things. So while Slipspace travel would be the greatest gift Halo could give the Tau, the Flood’s gift would be the GRAVEMIND! The ‘Nids already are a hivemind, but when the Flood consumes enough biomass, their hivemind develops sentience, they create a Gravemind. The Tyranid hivemind could adapt to become the same nature as the Flood Hivemind, and since the amount of biomass available in the entire Halo-galaxy would be breadcrumbs compared to what the tyranids eat on a daily basis, I assume this Nid-Gravemind, what with its MASSIVE WARP PRESENCE combined with EXTREME INTELLIGENCE AND SENTIENCE, would basically be a new Chaos God (maybe of Hunger?) and OM NOM NOM everything.

    Actually, the Flood would be dangerous against most (cept maybe Daemons, Orks, and Tyranids) on land because a touch infects them, but the rest could go bombardment on them.

    See, Flood are dangerous when fully awaken, but some have the capabilities to take them on:
    Tyranids who are infected are killed before they change
    Daemons are warp entities and are probably impossible to infect
    Orks have the WAAAGH and could maybe, and just maybe, believe Orks shouldn’t turn to the Flood.

    The rest could fire from space and make them go bye bye before they can even find a way off.

    What if the UNSC decided to fire a Super MAC on a higher ranking Space Marine (like Marneus Calgar)? Purely hypothetical, I think it would be very interesting to see.

    9 TT of death? That would destroy a Titan, easily.

    So there is at least two things that would have some effect (even infinitesimally small overall) on Warhammer 40K. The Super MAC or maybe even a MAC and the Nova Bomb.
