Could the Xenomorph species from Alien survive in the WH40k universe or would they be wiped out instantly Cred Forums?

I doubt even acid blood would have much of an impact due to the regenerating metal they're made of.

MMMM I like this point. Even thought they may take casualties in the thousands all it takes is one to repopulate, and they can survive the vacuum of space (SCREW YOU ALIEN 4!)

But containment and control were the main theme of the movies. The Empire doesn't give a fuck about controlling anything that isn't human, and won't hesitate to kill any infected soldier on the spot.

Not instantly, but they'd get wiped out eventually.

Because the space marines or whomever wouldn't be afraid of calling down an Exterminatus and destroying EVERYTHING when things get out of hand.

Ravager and Praetorian would wreck

Alright. How would Predators fare?

Slightly better, but still woefully unequipped for a universe at war. They lack numbers and organization.

nothing can survive in the grim darkness of the far future

Don't predators use pretty primitive weapons aside from the plasma cannon and suicide nuke? I don't really know much about them apart from what i've seen in movies / games.

I don't know. I mean wouldn't their smallness kind of work in their favour?
They're not some all consuming being threatening world and they don't really have any desire to do that.
They just want to camp out in the woods and snag the occasional trophy and when things get a little too hot they get in their little ship and fuck off to some other planet.

Truth. Even if you could change species, your day to day life would suck ass

Reasonably well, I suspect. Mostly because they'd excel at stealth and picking off enemies little by little.

They're hunters before soldiers, though, so they'd probably lose in all-out war against big armies with artillery.

They have some neat weapons and gadgets but I can't really say how they'd work as an army. But I doubt they'd be as organized as the Empire of Man which is incredibly war-centric in WH40K.
They'd have to work like the Eldar and adopt hit-and-run tactics to avoid getting smothered.

What if a Space Marine actually got successfully infected and bursted? Don't the Aliens take on some of the traits / genetics of their hosts?

I know fuck all about war hammer just basics of what a few races are

But since xenomorphs change depending on host are their and super genetic fuck your galaxy up races they could infect

They would earn some kills, but the Empire's absolute disregard for their citizens is the Predators down fall. If a few dozen were camped out on a planet collecting trophies, the first citizen to cry chaos would bring down the Exterminatus.

>Don't predators use pretty primitive weapons
To say that their weapons are primitive would be like saying a carbon-fiber bicycle is archaic and also kind of null and void in a world of chainswords and power claws.

Also I'm by no means an expert but it's not that they lack the capacity but they have a code of ethics when it comes to hunting (which is all we see them do) whether or not that changes in warfare is anyone's guess.

Necrons, again, would ass rape them. No food, no reproduction.

Good question.

Space Marines aren't born fuckhuge, mind you. It's something they develop through their training by taking growth hormones or something like that and undergoing surgery.

So since it's not part of their natural biology it may be that the xenos wouldn't "inherit" it.

theyd die, cuz humans were able to extinct several species on earth already, its not hard to kill them, if u dont have some money or ppl to worry about and they cant reproduce without a queen, so u rly need to just kill the special ones and theyll die out

Maybe eldar. Farseers, specifically. A xenomorph with psyker powers would be pretty fucking awful.

and thats not even specific to the w40k

1 imperial hive city has a population in excess of hundreds of billions packed tightly.
If a xenomorph outbreak started there the city would be fucked.

As for the rest of the arguement xenomorphs don't have any aerial capabilities unless you did some bullshit concerning mutations from a random animal species on the planet (much like the runner came from an ox/dog and the predalien comes from predators.)
As it goes they are not an army as such, much closer to a viral/epidemic form of bioweapon since they were made by space jockeys presumably for the task of clearing planets of the population through contagion/breeding

They have no means to spread off 1 planet without outside help and several of the races in 40k would simply destroy the planet seeing how overrun it is.

Left unchecked they could take a whole planet but that's about it unless there was fluke circumstances like aliens boarding ships that were taking off but that's subjective.

Not sure if possible but chaos god or great daemons

Since they don't need food to fight a war if they already had a army if necrons had no reason to specifically target them over others

Most marines are clones, some are taken as children and converted. None of their augmentations are genetic, there's basically a "space marine guts" kit they install in non cloned marines. The chances of a xeno making it long enough to burst are slim to none, since their armor has built in bioscanning capabilities, and a self destruct.

Imperial guard would be the most vulnerable. But they're just humans, with the exception of Ogrun, but they are rare.

Orcs may be immune, as they're technically a fungus.

Eldar would be as cautious as the space marines. Most of their units are wraithbone constructs.

This seems like a good analysis.

They could wreck a single planet pretty hard, especially a densely populated one, but that would be their limit.

I'll rephrase that

Are chaos gods and underlings physical or energy?

>ctrl F

>genestealers

>0 results

Wtf is wrong with you kids? Rogue Trader. Genestealers. Its a direct aliens ripoff.

>as they're technically a fungus.

I THINK they're physical, at least as long as they remain in our dimension. Although they're pretty ridiculously powerful compared to mortals.

And when they die, they don't die for real but just return to the Chaos dimension.

The inconceivable amount of warp energy required to physically manifest any of the Chaos Gods would destroy the universe. They can only act through proxies, champions, and hordes. Any psychic presence in the warp is open to them, but unless a ship is traveling through the warp, they can't physically interact with it.

Xenos would have little to no warp presence.

>Orcs may be immune
As long as they have organs that can accommodate a chestburster, I think they'd be up for grabs by facehuggers.

Xenomorphs would be a fringe nuisance even on a hive planet. Terra would be the only issue.

Maybe, there's a lot more fluff on 40k races than xenos, though. I have a feeling the orcs natural "i's the biggest" mentality would interfere with the implantation process. Even grots and gretchins would seize the opportunity to kill a stronger orc that was subdued by the process.

THE FUCK!?

Literally Xenos would be fucked in warhammer universe, just a minor pest, only thing that might stand a chance is symbiotes like out or marvel

Genetically engerneerred to fight necrons and star gods

I think he didn't know they were fungi.

It depends, theyre heretics?

They're worse than heretics.

They're xenos.

You're right.
How neat.

how would the 'nids fare against them?

>Most marines are clones
Where the hell did you get that from?

Marines are made by implanting aspirants with Geneseed, and it has a staggering rate of failure.

They'd overrun them. The 'nids can overwhelm just about anybody with sheer numbers (except the necron), and they have guns and whatnot too.

Xenomorphs work best as sneaky enemies, as they usually overtake colonies and settlements by quietly infesting victims, ambushing resistance, and building a hive in some secret location.

u know they cant be fungi, cuz fungi r not tissue organisms, they r colonial organisms. Having a brain requires specialisation on cellss part

I think he is confusing Marines from the Primarch's, who were created from the Emperor's genes.

Primarchs*

In the grim darkness of the far future there is no proper biology.

Bruh, they're fungi. Squigs and orks are all fungi. It's why they are all "male". They walk around exuding spores that will sprout into more orks and squigs.

Space Marines eat brains to read memories.

That should tell you how much of a fuck 40k gives about science.

alex is a stupid nigger :^)

fungi dont have sex at all
its not w40k, is the authors, the uneducated idiots

How would the factions of Supreme Commander fare in 40k?

SC is one of the few things more OP than 40k, so pretty well.

Fuck yeah!
