i recently had an argument with a kid (oh i regret this) who is a starwars fanatic. he tried to convince me that, assuming all races united with their neighbors, starwars would defeat 40k in the end. i strongly disagreed.
i came to think that it depended on the environment the war was fought in. in the starwars environment, starwars would win, being capable of light speed travel. in the 40k galaxy, 40k would win, having warp travel capabilities. if both methods of transportation worked for everyone who was capable of using them, i say that 40k would still win because they are alot more brutal (orks, anyone?) and sinister (starwars has nothing as sinister as the Inquisition). Jedi, starwars stormtroopers and ewoks could not stand a chance against the Imperial Guard, the Adeptus Astartes, the Ordo Malleus, the Ordo Hereticus, the Ordo Xenos, the Eldar, the Orks, Chaos, the Tau, the Kroot, the Necrons, and the Tyranids all united. not a chance.
what are your thoughts? if you feel the taint of nerdinghood upon you just by reading this, then you don't have to reply. just sit there, in denial. play with your little dolls. we will have you soon enough <devilish laugh>
