Board Thread:Warhammer 40k General Discussion/@comment-6078851-20150114163201/@comment-6078851-20150115153800

@ master, the purpose of this thread is general discussion of 40k. if people go off on tangents then it isn't going off-topic as long as we're still talking about 40k. yeah the general discussion board is for general discussion of 40k, but every thread tends to have a specific topic, and sometimes a thread gets completely derailed by tangents, prompting posters to get back on-topic or, if the topic is finished, prompting a fresh thread regarding whatever is being discussed at that point. so this thread is for a freeflowing, general discussion of 40k, where tangents may lead to other tangents but we wont be prompted to get back on-topic :)

1) yup.

2) probably, but possibly not.

3) not a chance.

4) they could be, given enough time. and as the imperium is very busy with far more hostile threats then they could get that time. and, as mentioned, they have a system of civil liberty that could purloin a massive amount of people from various species that would significantly increase the numbers of tau citizens willing to fight for their greater good.

5) abaddon has succeeded in being a greater champion of chaos than horus ever was, but that doesn't mean he isn't occasionaly an idiot :)

6) i've no idea.

7) yarrick doesn't have the slightest hope of beating ghazghkull without at least a baneblade. the only reason yarrick still lives at all is because he's the only human to ever give ghazghkull a good scrap, and ghazghkull spared his life so he could have another good scrap once he had healed from the pummeling ghazghkull gave him :P

8) no idea what's in the omega vault, but it's not a cure for guilliman. if such a cure exists then it's isha, and nurgle is the only being with access to her.

9) i agree.

10) nope. emps dies, imperium dies, 'nids nom all :P. and even if emps does somehow recover then that wont change anything from the tyranids' point of view as the 'shadow in the warp' acts as a psychic muffler, and as the hive mind continues to wake the muffling effect of the 'shadow in the warp' will grow too.

11+12) dorn dead, corax dead, jaghatai dead, russ daemon primarch :P
