Stellaris Galaxy vs Warhammer40k Galaxy

[Scooby Doo]

It's that time of the year again, this time though there's been several DLC's since this topic was last discussed. So here's the scenario.

Stellaris Galaxy

• All Fallen Empires (Ancient Caretakers, Enigmatic Observers, Keepers of Knowledge, Holy Guardians, Militant Isolationists)
• Two Mid Game Federations with three Empires in each Federation.
• Two End Game Empires one is a Nemesis Commonwealth of Mankind and the other a United Nations of Earth Cosmogenesis.
• All Crises (Great Khan, Grey Tempest, Prethoryn Scourge, Unbidden, Aberrant, Vehement Contingency, The Synthetic Queen)
• All Leviathans (Infinity Machine, Spectral Wraith, Stellar Devourer, Scavenger Bot, Shard, ect)

Vs

Warhammer40k Galaxy

• Imperium of Mankind
• Orkz
• Tyranids
• Eldar
• Dark Elder
• Tau
• Necrons
• Chaos

Scenario 1) None of the factions are unified and both Galaxies are connected to each other physically as in like they're slowly melding together.
Scenario 2) All of the factions are unified but the galaxies are only connected by a single star sized wormhole.

In all scenarios Stellaris can research special projects to resist the taint of Chaos while the other 40k side can do their own research to resist the Worm God's influence .

Naked corvette spam. Jokes aside uhh, I think I'd favor Stellaris to win since they could arguably be considered like DAOT humanity.

Yeah apparently the "Fear of the Dark" origin has a Early lvl civilization to have been able to create a Moon sized battle station that fired kinetic tungsten rounds approaching or at the speed of light and are powerful enough to crack a planet.

It's impressive because they shot it from a minimum estimated 100 something light-years away if not further, and your civilization is able to intercept a projectile moving that fast and even create a shield to significantly reduce the damage from said round to a survivable amount or complete negate it.

I need to try that origin out at some point, I most recently did Pay Back because I was playing XCOM a lot lately.

There's also the new DLC coming out which basically lets you in Cosmogensis become a "Prime" Fallen Empire and another called the Synthetic Queen who can just casually dick off an entire Fallen Empire fleet with ease.

Being a fallen Empire at the start would be sort of interesting, That said while Fallen Empire fleets can be tough if you want a real challenge max out the difficulty for the crisis and all their fleets will have an average of 2-5 million fleet power which can also LOLNOPE Fallen Empire fleets.

The thing that makes it strong is because unlike "Fallen" Empire the "Prime" Empire has the ability to mass produce their buildings

So you know all those Hax buildings? A player can build a Habitat full of (Science) Archive Buildings that have 100 of each research per building so you're looking at like thousands of science per habitat with low investment costs.

So "Prime" Fallen Empires can constantly improve their ship combat ability much faster than anyone else in Stellaris.

Stellaris seems like it'd be OP simply because it's based on galactic civilization games, kind of like how Master of Orion or something could also likely get stompy stompy on many sci-fi verses.

TBF I think 40k is a better match up for it than Halo.

All Halo would have is the Flood and Forerunners, Flood would get shit stomped by any mid tier in Stellaris and Forerunners would just be an Awakened Empire which is just top dog of middle tiers.

Silentium Flood would be another matter entirely, Once they start using the star roads they would be as dangerous as any end game Crisis.

Nah not really, Star Roads are canonically sub light speed (Like I have the book, Star Roads are SLOW in the grand scale of things), the Early game Stellaris Empires NOW have feats of completing special projects to stop or deal with a near light speed planet busting projectile before it hits them.

Flood get countered by any nation that has a Mega Sentry, full coverage of the Galaxy means the Flood can't do their hide and seek game that they did with the Forerunners and with Jump Drives/Gate Ways they make the Flood schtick of turning off slip space irrelevant.

Heck even hijacking Stellaris ships won't work because they all have FTL Anchors. Honestly anything the Flood can do Stellaris can counter unlike the Forerunners.

So Fallen Empire "Escorts" have dimensional Hax which makes the bigger in the inside than they are outside.

This will allow them to store so much fire power while retaining a smaller frame, imagine boarding a ship that would normally only hold a hundred people but there's like 10,000 security crew aboard

Anyway to get the discussion started I think the Crisis factions will expand to the 40k galaxy naturally after wiping out any weak Stellaris Empires.


The Unbidden triple fractions are going to wreck havoc across the Warhammer40k galaxy, a Great Crusade will be more than enough to take down the Great Khan and Grey Tempest but the Imperium would be too stretched out to deal with the Unbidden.

The Contingency can mess things up real bad if they're able to take control over the Necrons if they can't then they just have a strong hold on the Tau territory and become a threat to the AdMech.


I can see the Fallen Empire's awakening and pushing back the Crisis factions on their side of the galaxy towards the 40k galaxy while any surviving Federation creates a line of defense.


Ultimately though the Nemesis Crisis will probably gather a lot of attention once they got blasting thousands of stars across the 40k galaxy, eventually it's going to catch eyes but the Nemesis faction logistics would be so much better that it would be impossible for any single 40k faction to threaten them due to the long distances needed to travel and how quickly the Nemesis Crisis with just Star Eaters alone will wipe out any single armada sent.

The more I think about Stellaris the more I realize there is only one option for this thread.

Real Question.

Which 40k Faction can hold off the Unbidden the longest?

I'm betting the Orkz.

If the Orks make it to Kork stage they absolutely god stomp a lot of Sci Fi factions including mid game Stellaris. They would legitimately be a worthy end game crisis in that state.

Hmmm, but what could the Korkz do to a Nemesis Star Eater?

Just two of these bad boys with their jump drives would be able to out maneuver and detonate stars where Krorkz are concentrated easily.


I don't even think boarding through teleportation would be feasible

Problem is Orks reaching the Kork stage LOLNOPE reality. Basically the ork in the war of the beast becomes the norm. These would basically be what the Orks were like in the war of heaven.

End game and mid game Stellaris factions can do that too since like the last three DLC's released

This quote says their reality warping can outright unravel the galaxy if misused, which I don't think even max wank Orkz ever suggest they can do

This mid game quote outright confirms they literally understand how to fold space on itself and they only get better on knowing how to do it.

 

[Scooby Doo]

Now I'm wondering how Contingency vs Necrons would go.

 

[Carrot of Truth]

Honestly this is just bordering on spite, It would be like if I made a Xeelee vs UNSC thread. Although the Imperium and Necrons do godstomp on the aesthetic front of things.
