    Are you joking or do you not know what RAID is?

    I misquoted. What does GRB stand for?
  5. Well here's the thing: Whenever I slay Tyranids I let out the standard "Blood for the blood god" battle cry and they can't understand me. Then I get a Tyranid language program from Rosetta Stone and discovered that they were too stupid to comprehend Khorne despite having learned the language. So on top of ordering the program itself and having it shipped to the warp; which costs an arm and a leg (not mine mind you) I lost out on quite a but of plunder from the last world I burned.

    I'd rather kill Orks, Eldar, or Imperium than Tyranids -the three former have more personality to them.
  6. As an organic farmer (yes the warp needs good, healthy food too) if there are too much of a harmful pest on your crop it means something is out of balance such as too many of one plant (monoculture), your soil, or maybe your crop is being planted for the wrong season. The best way to deal with these pests is firepower, and lots of it.

    Gamma Ray Burst, whats released when a decent sized star goes nova. It purges anything within its range of life.

    (Necrons and Daemons would survive.... maybe. Depends on the energy they're hit with and if they're in cover.)

  9. if those things are true, then the following is honestly impossible.

    no space marine can solo a greater daemon.
    no. space. marine.
    i dont care if its marneus fucking calgar. he's still a 'regular' space marine--one with a huge amount of experience and far greater physical abilities--but still just a space marine. he doesn't weigh much more than a regular space marine. thus, he could also be tossed around like a rag doll by a greater daemon.
    if they all absorbed lasgun fire, the imperium would have lost the heresy, or would be gone by now. that single factor is something i don't think you comprehend the magnitude of. i think it's safe to say 80% of the imperium's troops use las weaponry. this would mean that the more guardsmen you threw at the daemons, the more powerful they get--both from the subsequent emotion, but also simply by being shot at. they would also be immune to lascannons, as well as eldar and tau laser weapons. so im gonna go ahead and call bullshit on that specific thing. not cannon, because when you look at it, it really can't be cannon. again, if space marines can cleave through armor without difficulty, they will have no problem cleaving through any master crafted set of armor. and i can GARUNTEE that a chaplains armor is more sanctified and holy than an ordinary grey knights armor. there have been times, though, that marines have killed greater daemons by themselves. or even in teams, they should be unable to if they are really this miniscule. carnifexes have been shown to be immune to bolter fire--and hive tyrants are smarter, faster, and just better than carnifexes. on top of that they are RIDICULOUSLY powerful psychic monstrosities. an avatar of khaine is easily more powerful than a baseline bloodthirster--though, any bloodthirster above the 'baseline', which i admit goes against the idea of randomness of daemons--would be an equal. and marines have taken out avatars. and they are not immune to bolter fire. they are highly resistant to it. VERY highly resistant. but not immune.

    and with the souls thing.
    souls are literally the echo of someone in the warp. they are their reflection-but the souls are still 'made' of 'warp stuff', if you will.
    thus, we can sumrise that if the doom of malantai can consume souls, and soulstones, and the entire infinity circuit of a craftworld, it can consume daemons, who are in many ways the opposite of physical beings, in that they are from the warp, and you could somewhat say that their 'souls' are what we see in the material universe--reflections of them. granted, this is a shaky analogy, but for my purposes it works fine. they are made of warp stuff, and are a single entity, capable of interacting with entities that are the souls of beings in the material world. so yeah.
    here is a simplified version for people, and also for myself to condense my idea.

    doom of malantai eats souls.
    souls are made from the emotions of a being interacting with the warp, creating a 'reflection' of sorts, and a consistent soul.
    daemons are made of warp stuff. they are made from raw emotion, and given life by the chaos gods. the warp is, in a sense, raw emotion. with this in mind, one would think that the doom of malantai could simply eat the very warp itself. however, that's not what it did. thus, we can assume a few things.
    the doom of malantai can only consume 'warp stuff', when it is condensed into a consistent...entity. AKA, a soul or a daemon. granted, this entity cannot be greater in power than doom itself. or it simply didn't know how to simply consume raw warp essence. i prefer the former, as the latter is rather silly and allows for something that can just eat up the entirety of the warp--albeit, slowly. i could also assume that the entity in question does not need to be present in the material world, due to the fact that it was able to consume the infinity circuit. however, i wont, because there are flaws with that, and because dinosaurus rex. so i will assume that there needs to be some kind of a presence in the material verse. thus, daemons must have materialized to be consumed. and daemons cannot disappear at will to run away from the doom.--if they do, they cannot just come back, they must be summoned. (teleporting is slightly different than that methinks)
    so there you have it.

    "no space marine can solo a greater daemon.
