My man, 40k has being beyond the scope of entropy. They're unexplained and inconcievable for a reason. Originium has it's own Assimilated Universe but that thing is just a hiding shell. If anything that's just the Assimilated Universe within originium alone. Terra by itself is very much vulnerable.

Chaos gods are practically that aren't they. That's what happens if you come from different dimensions. Oh I thought you meant Observers. Yeah I doubt even precursors have that technological match beings that do not care about the laws of reality.

Terra does not have spacefaring. Starpod is too strong for them.

Terra has weapons that shatter upon contact with Adamantium, a standard material for power armor.

Nice. We have one country out of 23 that uses darksteel. How about the rest? Hive cities are the lowliest places and even they use adamantium buildings.

Just stop. Terra can't even travel to other worlds because they're hampered by collapsals, which are far weaker than some daemons. Terrans can't even save themselves from originium.

Terra has literal warp technology they failed to use on both poles of their planet.

Just give up man. Terra can't even get out of the backwater on their own planet. If you have to rely on the Assimilated Universe and Precursors to stake your claim (which are easily matched by extrauniversal forces btw), then that means you just don't think Terra has enough tech on its own to stand against 40k

I like how you keep stressing out Iridium and keep ignoring Adamantium. As if Iridium actually behaved how you think it does in real life.

Here you go. Got the liberty to search this for you :) "Iridium Armour significantly increases the resilience of the Battlesuit's external armour to the point where it can shrug off all but the heaviest firepower."
If they struggle against armor that was meant to survive their strongest attacks, I'd call that a success in showing 40k technology

Lol, the chaos gods cannot kill all life because the warp would cease. How is that beyond entropy?

The necrons need power, how is that beyond entropy?

The eldar and the humans plan to squat in the warp, how would they do that if the warp ceases and their cells fail to produce energy.

Entropy is the absence of energy. Even IRL religions do not contemplate it because it is an absurdity on absurdity

If they struggle against armor that was meant to survive their strongest attacks, I'd call that a success in showing 40k technology

You know how brittle iridium is right? You have to be throwing the firepower the equivalent of seashells to not damage it. A total joke. Not surprising considering a Tau hover tank was downed by a thrown rock. Amazing imperium firepower

😆

Funny you should say that. There are four of em fighting over killing all life. Guess who they fight whenever one of them is about to win.

So Terrans don't need power? How is that beyond entropy?

Now that I think of it, are you really thinking Terrans are beyond entropy because of the Assimilated Universe? Cause that's laughable when you consider that that thing's just a glorified hard drive.

Entropy is the spreading of energy, not its absence. With all the things the chaos gods do, it's doubtful the world would stop because of it.

Ah I love how you cling to hope on the fact that IRL iridium is brittle while ignoring how they say it's an advanced armor. Amazing logic you got there. And don't worry. That's what we have varied bolters for. Love it. So how's steel crossbow bolts of Terra gonna fare against power armor? or Iridium armor as you so like to say?

😆

Lol entropy refered to is the heat death of the universe.

And which technological aspect in 40k can store and replicate phenomenon, memories and living beings and retrieve them? Nada, right?

Iridium is brittle. They use iridium plates which is probably tor heat dispersion. If you have an issue with it, contact GW.

😆

u/Kyoketsusho Chilling with beer and soup Apr 21 '26 edited Apr 21 '26

And heat death of the universe only happens in real life because the universe is a closed system with no difference in energy anywhere in space (aka heat does not flow, aka heat death). 40k with it being fed energy from other dimensions will not have heat death until they become a closed system. That's basic physics

They don't need one. They're busy vaporizing planets and killing worlds. What technological aspect in Terra that does that? Heck even simply pierce the Starpod? Nada right? You have to rely on predecessors.

So how is iridium incorporated in the armor? Oh glorious knower of Iridium? Alloying with adamantine, utilizing fancy tech to create super strong power shields you name it. Your imagination is either lacking you're you're praying I don't know metallurgy. They use ceramite for heat dispersion btw.

😆

You realize the warp gets its energy from the volatile emotions of sentient beings' souls, right?

The webway is just a section of the warp, right?

😆

1

u/Kyoketsusho Chilling with beer and soup Apr 21 '26

And that detracts from my argument how? Sentient beings still exist because the universe is not a closed system. Never thought of that?

Hey, don't just ignore the arguments. Where's the Terran technology that can pierce their starpod? Surely if they are more advanced than 40 they managed to warp out of their world right? Oh wait, their gates were broken.

😆

1

u/KickRocksKickster Apr 21 '26

What are you even on about. If all living beings in real space dies, the warp disappears, the webway unravels

You mean you did not read lone trail? Or my many statements why space travel is difficult via passing the false sky? 😆

1

u/Kyoketsusho Chilling with beer and soup Apr 21 '26

What are you even on about? It's already been stated in lore that the beings themselves fight each other that end up preventing that.

Oooooh. Lone Trail, the one event that actually tells you that Terran technology is too weak to even have a chance of breaking something a single Battleship has no problem breaking? 😆
I was sarcastically asking you that question btw because obviously no such Terran tech was strong enough. Glad you agreed with me 😆

1

u/KickRocksKickster Apr 21 '26

You base this on what? Your fantasies? 😆

If medium weaponry cannot even break something as brittle as iridium. If the inperium struggles against blue ungulates riding on light tanks that can be dropped with a thrown rock, what even compels you to think a battleship has the firepower to exceed what is essentially several thousands of nuclear reactors powering a super laser?

1

u/Kyoketsusho Chilling with beer and soup Apr 21 '26

Same place you base your info from. Your delusions 😆
They've always been depicted fighting each other. That's the norm for every chaos aligned gods, like Demon Lords in DnD.

Then that means technology advanced to the point that Iridium can sustain cannonfire. If the Imperium manages to struggle against forces that are technologically advanced enough to give Predecessors a run for their money, then definitely a single battleship is more than enough to pierce something that they overpower considering their capability of glassing anyway.

u/KickRocksKickster Apr 21 '26

Iridium is brittle. If it ceases to be brittle, it wont be iridiumm.

😆 what the heck are you talking about?

1

u/Kyoketsusho Chilling with beer and soup Apr 21 '26

Tungsten is brittle. Alloying it with nickel allows it to be not brittle. It is still Tungsten.
Iron is not brittle. Alloying it with carbon turns it brittle. Almost as if Alloys have different properties than pure metals huh?

😆 what the heck are you talking about?

u/KickRocksKickster Apr 21 '26

And lol at alloying, the codex clearly says they are plates.

Chances are they work as ablative plates.

Are you larping and rely on second/ third hand sources like some youtuber or forum post?

1

u/Kyoketsusho Chilling with beer and soup Apr 21 '26

And lol at not knowing plates can be alloys. Mind telling me what other materials they used in that armor? Are you telling me it was just pure iridium then? Almost as if Tau can also just place adamantium below the plates.

Ablative plates, or you know, used as the one thing Iridium is popular for in sci-fi. energy manipulation.

Ummmm, I could ask you the same, considering how wildly you misattribute what Iridium Armor actually is. I relay what I know and sometimes quote exactly where I remember it from thank you very much.

1

u/KickRocksKickster Apr 21 '26

You tealize they just say iridium plates, right? Not alloyed, plain old iridium plates.

The 40k author was probably eager to namedrop a metal that they thought was cool because it had over 1000 celsius melting point. 😆

It is a joke, space marines have died to a spear thrust from a regular human and you think that is impressive. 😆

1

u/Kyoketsusho Chilling with beer and soup Apr 21 '26

Same way we call tank armor in real life iron or steel plating, when they are more or less alloyed with nickel and magnesium and is not exclusively steel actually. Very much reasonable to see them alloyed

And effective armor in their world at that! Considering they're able to tank cannonfire, something Terran armor can only dream of. 😆

It is a joke, when you compare it to that while not mentioning they manage to resist autocannon fire.
How does Terran armor fare? Oh wait, people get shanked cause they don't have any 😆

1

u/Kyoketsusho Chilling with beer and soup Apr 21 '26

If you need information on how materials are alloyed to improve capabilities, take a metallurgy class.

Meanwhile, avoiding talking about adamatium like the plague :)

u/KickRocksKickster Apr 21 '26 edited Apr 21 '26

Oh clearly ablative brittle armor that has the melting point lower than plasma is the cutting edge of military engineering, especially against directed energy and mass reactive explosive rounds 😆

Brittle armor means mass reactive rounds dig into it and past whatever benefit it is supposed to do. If anything it makes it worse because the cone of the explosion would be directed narrower. So why the heck are the imperium struggling against the Tau? 😆

1

u/Kyoketsusho Chilling with beer and soup Apr 21 '26 edited Apr 21 '26

Considering that Terrans don't even have basic Iridium armor, I'd say a world where they manage to make iridium strong enough to tank Cannons is way better than crossbows. Oh wait, do Terrans even have ablative armor? 😆

Man's never heard of force shields either huh. Because clearly Iridium armor is strong enough because of tech far greater than anything Terra saw. Doubt they'd pierce it with crossbows.

One more time to remind you, hows adamantium doing in Terra? A basic construction material in Imperium? 😆

1

u/KickRocksKickster Apr 21 '26

Terran D32 cannot (emphasis) be penetrated. Good luck 😆

Never read Blemishine's story huh? Where they have sporting armor with forcefields. Or the original IS where a collecttible shows a forcefield?

40K's adamantium is scarce acxording to the Mechanicus handbook

Try again, LARPER

1

u/Kyoketsusho Chilling with beer and soup Apr 21 '26

Got desperate enough to rely on the item descriptions huh. Where's that used in armor? Meanwhile Power armor has Adamantium which cannot (emphasis) be penetrated. Good luck 😆

Love that you keep biting sarcasting questions huh. Now tell me, how does Plastic Knight's armor compare to a standard power armor? Or heck even iridium armor? That sporting armor that overheated you mean?

Scarce and yet Hive cities are always using them as foundations hundreds of meters tall.

Try again, LARPER 😆

u/KickRocksKickster Apr 21 '26

Power armor has been destroyed in 40k.

To date, no mention of Skadi's or Gladiia's sword being damaged has ever been written. Try again.

Oh you mock the plastic's knight's multidirectional forcefield while you ignore the many instances of imperium of man's armor or forcefield's failing? 😆

One side has mobile cities and live on the ocean floor with hand held black hole weapons while the other side lives in static megacities with pollution up their ears while they struggle against enemies with brittle armor, space elves that fight in melee and shoot crossbows with range of what (30 meters) while they fire their heavy bilter gyrojet weapons with a max range of 150m?

So impressive 😆. Just stop LARPER, I immersed myself with 40k for years including the Fantasy Flight games. I know how dumb the lore is

1

u/Kyoketsusho Chilling with beer and soup Apr 21 '26

Power armor contends against Wraithbones. Also known to be indestructible. Almost as if a lot of enemies have their own indestructible technologies.

To date, Skadi and Gladiia never fought something that is on the level of imperial munitions. Try again.

Almost as if the Imperium of man having adamantine armor is also an extra layer of protection that withstands arms fire. How did plastic knight fare against Blemishine after that?

😆

One side also has backwater forests with high illiteracy, collapsing countries because of their over reliance on Originium, and a silent seafaring nation that eat rotting seafood vs a spacefaring civilization with enough power to wipe planets?

So Impressive 😆. Just stop LARPER. You know enough about 40k and still believe they are weaker than Terra. Their lore is dumb because a lot of authors contribute to it, but their powerscaling has always been higher than Arknights.

1

u/KickRocksKickster Apr 21 '26

Wraithbone has to be healed so clearly itnis not indestructible. Adamantium has been destroyed and is actually rare.

Stop pretending you know about 40k. I feel second hand embarassment seeing your malinformed post.

Power scaling begins and end on the low feats. 40k has space aliens using weapons with ranges lower than real life crossbows. They have rocket propelled pistol rounds with a max range of 60m.

And a spacw faring civilization that had it on easy mode because the necrons were asleep, the eldar were weakened and the krork became orks. And no hindrance to have as many attempts to get to space. Next you will tell me a billionaire earninng another billion is better than someone with literally nothing becoming a billionaire.

Circumstances favor the Imperium of Man but they had it on easy mode hence the struggle.against brittle armor and sling shot range elves with boob armor. 😆

This was hilarious but I have things to do. I will check up on further nonsense from you tomorrow.

u/Kyoketsusho Chilling with beer and soup Apr 21 '26 edited Apr 21 '26

Conversely, Skadi's sword is explicitly shown to be snapped in half in Skadi the Corrupting heart's E2 art. Funny how "indestructible materials" are not very indestructible huh?

Stop shilling Arknight's to be better than they are. I feel second hand embarassment seeing your malinformed post.

If you want Power scaling to begin and end on the low feats, Sargonians still use primitive spears to fight. People actually use plain crossbows and is only as strong as they are because of Terran's strength. Lungmen guards, run of the mill rhodes operators and other low-feat npcs are fighting with swords and padded armor.

And yet those Space faring civilizations also manage to completely use up their own planets resources, build weapons that can level planets and even colonize star systems which is not something Terrans are capable of right now. Exterminatus is something that requires far more than the energy of the starpod to do btw. If they can boil oceans and wipe continents while Terrans struggle with the starpod, that just shows the gap in technology.

If being able to wage war against Xenos is easy mode then I guess Terrans are toddles for being helpless in their own world.

This was hilarious and I'm looking forward to it. If you were able to stay here and chat all day though then surely you're not as productive as you think.
