Seeing a recent post brought this thread to my attention. even though the post before the above is over 4 months old.

If the Forerunners were transplanted from the Halo Universe to the W40k universe, some serious fecal matter would hit the oscillating ventilation device(smart mans way of saying s**t would hit the fan).

Due to the fact that Slipspace and the Warp are infact two seperate dimensions, what the Forerunners are capable of doing in Slipspace would mean diddly in the WH40k universe. In fact seeing as how Slipspace doesnt exist in the 40k 'verse, a great deal of the Forerunner's power just got nixed. So they would maintain their military strength, but they would lose out in other areas, especially since the idea of warfare with Warp tech is completely unknown to them. As to the Precursor tech being indestructible, its only indestructible compared to everything that was tried on it, in the halo 'verse, and I'm willing to bet wasn't created with the Warp in mind.

So the Forerunner burst into being in the Milky Way Galaxy. They are immediately alerted tot he fact that their Slipspace drives don't function by their A.I. or Machine Spirits, since they are now in 40k. The Halos do still possess their destructive capability, but they would only effect those worlds that reside in the Materium, and they are now seperated from the rest of their brethern since I'd imagine the Domain can't exist in the 40k universe. Chaos would have little to no issues with the Forerunners since they have no knowledge of the Warp, though Chaos would still attempt to corrupt them.

Corruption of the Forerunners is entirely possible, as they fall prey to pride as well. The Master Builder of the Forerunner saga shows this quite clearly, completely ignoring the rest of Forerunner society and going ahead with what he wants to do.
