I think I agree, the Custodes would have the upper hand in the beginning...but that is until the tenno adapt and then start farming them for loot...also there are some frames that are hard counters to anything the warhammer universe has...like Mag...she could solo a shield company easy .... So yes the tenno will lose in the beginning but then they will steam roll them...

Think about who each faction fights and that should be your answer. Tennos seem more impressive than they are because they are killing trash mobs any fictional universe could stomp. Custodians on the other hand….

While this is accurate, we must remember that in Warframe there are just a few locations ran by infestation. Hell, there is even a horde of it in Cetus that just sleeps and does nothing.

i feel like, similarly with the tryanids vs halo flood debate, it would come down to who can infect and mutate who the fastest. the tyranids are very smart and mutate super fast, allowing them to adapte very quick. additionally, if something like a hive tyrant got infected, and the infestion linked to the tyranid hivemind, how long will it stay connected before the hive fleet cuts it off and uses the knowledge it just gained to adapt the genetics of other tyranids? By no means am i saying the tyranids are stornger, or the infestation are stronger. it would be a very interesting in-univers conflict for both sides. if we consider the warp and the void as the same thing, then niehter side can use it, as the infestation can not assimilate the void, and the tyranids have no warp presence. so all in all, the tenno win this fight.

Also how quickly the war would end would be the end of the impirium. Nidus spread infested. And one single spore that set root on any world. That world is doomed. Even exterminatus wont be enough, as again one spore is enought to destroy all of warhammer. One infected turns to a thousand, that turns to a billion then a trillion. Because you cannot stop the infested. Killing one of its members releases spores. And no tech can help you. The infested can infect machines. The custodes would stand proud. But then look on in horror has a hundred of them twist and turn in agony as their bones snap, and their armor melt to their flesh. That or the infested got its grasp on a tyranid. And now the tyranid hivemind is under the infested control and thus Nidus control.

Dont need to see it all the way through. As Gauss and Limbo. Or Saryan and Dante would wipe the floor with custodes. Gauss to fast for them. His trailer shows lore wise he can move so fast that bullets are on slow motion, and that was him not stressing. Limbo simply doesnt exist on our plane of existence. He will load his weapon then trap the custodies in his rift, and use his time stop ability to take them out one by one. Sayran is cancer, aids, ebola you name it all in one. And she melts armor. And dante can give himself a shield that grants him immunity to damage. Then with two waves of his hands anything infront of him will be cut, and if you arent cut he can just widden the wound so are. We also have the newly added Cyte 09 He can take them out one by one. As he sits invisble, and with the ability to look through walls and highlight weakspots. And his sniper ignoring solid matter, he can snipe you through a mountain and a wall.

I don't think tyranids couldn't beat the infestation, they already faced many biochimical weapons and always adapted and developted resistances to such threads. Also, tyrannids are known to dissolve ALL organic and inorganic matter with acid that only tyrannids'chitin can touch unharmed. Imo the infestation would 100% loose a straight 1V1 but if the infestation is released in the 40K univers and can infest other races before facing the great devourer (if the infestation manage to infest orks and some space marines, it could become unbeatable), then the infestation might even have collected enough data to perfectly counter tyrannids and wipe them out.

13:31 Atlas is directly stated to destroy the asteroid with a punch thats his theme he is a brawler. Also reaction time is one thing but you still need to move your body wich doesnt mean you are moving that fast. Volt can casualy move his body and give his speed to others.

“Atlas punching an asteroid is the strongest feat we have to date” no, no it is not. Rhino can LITERALLY stomp the ground so hard that time pauses momentarily.

its like a wolf killing a fox that had rabies, the Wolf will win every time in the physical fight but it already lost.

The custodians ain't ready to face shield gateing

Worst case scenario, the Tyranids and Infestation merge hive minds, and become one species, a devouring mass that incorporates all matter into its biology.

Should also be noted The infestation was made to fight against the sentients. Machines that get immunity to a weapon after its user against them once. Thats why the infrsted can change and adapt, because it was ment to fight an enemy that kept getting immunities. And some of the sentients incoude the edilion, who alone could destroy the warhammer setting, as its immortal, and not even the void can kill it. The thing thats poison to the sentients cabnot permantly kill that behemoth. And yet the infestation had a pretty good match up against these machines.

The Infestation VS The Flood would be a war of attrition. Who could devour and infests who first wins. And that's scary.

"Begin again."

You got a base Warframe? Grab a Prime molded out and there's your winner. Your boys may can take a cannon blast, but what about a channeled blast from the Sun to the head? Doubt it bro

I have a lot of time in Warframe, The Infestation it is goofy fraction, the just chill. WH40k bugs it is brutal gay fuckers ☠️☠️☠️

@Pen Of Evil I have a question what are your thoughts on spartan 2s like masterchief from Halo franchise also are you interested in doing flood vs infested?

You also have to add that the infested/technosyth is they are part of the indifference which can travel across time, and universes.

Infestation vs Flood from Halo would be interesting, another one would be Zerg from StarCraft since they also mutate rapidly. I once saw a comparison that the Tyranids are the library of biomass and the Zerg are the ludicrous processor for biomass since they mutate there, on the spot if need be and it's instant. Would be an interesting vs with them and the flood

I admire your exquisite work and amount of knowledge that you have combined and successfully into this and any other of your vids. HOWEVER, in your vids (every one that I viewed so far) are infested (....) with flashing, strobing light theatrics. Just in itself, this looks... well, that's a matter of opinion. What my problem with the lights is - is that it is dangerous for any epilepsy patients who just happens to enjoy watching your vid.... just until it possibly triggers the seizure... Please, consider not relying so heavily on this exact visual effect so much. Ty. Best regards :)

You didn’t do research on the warframes. like at all 😂😂. The The grineer are comparable to space custodes and have magic too and warframes demolish armadas. Not to talk of the speed in with they cas their reality breaking magic. Nova ca literally speed up or slow down any custodes and they cant do jack shit about it. Vauban can put them all in stasis mid air and they have to wait until he decides to kill them🤣🤣🤣 I love warhammer but for godsake NEKROS IS ABOVE CONCEPTUAL TRANSCENDANCE🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾HE CONTROLS DEATH ITSELF

I know you were considering lore and not actual gameplay, but fun fact, the vazarin school alone makes a warframe literally invincible

If you ripped a hole between their universes they'd have to work together to fight the infested tyranids. Unless the tenno are considered psycher heretics at least.

Easy wash because of the Jordas Golem. Do Tyranids have a large spaceship sized Tyranid? I don't think so

We can't forget the most terrifying possibility in a conflict. Warframes without a pilot are mindless monstrosities that can go on a bloodthirsty rampage, as described in the Rhino Prime codex entry. They could definitely be thrown in on the infestation's side just for fun. Without that, Alad V managed to properly infest a Mesa, managing to control her without transference. Meaning it's definitely not impossible for it to happen again

Warframes would win. Stealth kill is screen locked.

Id like to think the war wouldnt so one sided but would be a massive conflict between two cosmic super powers. The Tyranids stumble upon the Technocyte not knowing what it is do their thing of taking down planets without realizing the guest theyve unintentionally invited inside. Now youve got the greatest army in the universe going toe to toe with the greatest plague in the universe each one poised to kill untold billions before one is taken down.

you forgot to mention the Tenno are immortal and Custodians wearing a metal, Mag control metal she can simply squish their body with their own armor even if for some reason she can't squish the armor to their body, human body contains metal too

You can defeate the whole human empire (and most of the faction) with 2-3 warframes thats funny

There's one thing you forgot about war frames and preparation time. Eternalism. The war frames could train for however long they need.

The main question I have is "does armor strip work as expected" we are no strangers to fighting heavily armored enemies, it usually doesn't matter. Also, as a Mag main: is it magnetic? (: Because your Reaction time won't save you if the Breach Surge Bubble Blender gets your ass.

If I’m thinking about correctly even when the Tenno lose an alternative versions of them appears to continue the fight like in the new war when the Tenno got pulled into the void and the drifter appeared

WARFRAME SPOILERS My main issue with this is wisp, who (according to lore) is permanently invisible and has the capability of summoning thing form alternate timelines as well as opining a portal to the sun to shoot u with. It’s also stated in other places that atlis distorts reality by walking, we so have Calaban who can A: fully remove an enimies defences permanently,B: summon an army of the most complex and most adaptable soldiers to ever exists (sentients and adapt in the moment to resist damage types and can adapt to an environment just by existing in it ) and then the teno can also preform some crazy thing like becoming intangible, teleporting, or vaporizing enemies with their bare hands. And lastly it’s been said multiple times that the Tenno might be immortal and it’s been explicitly stated in the 1999 update that they can create time loops that go until they win! And then u said it your self limbo can become intangible at will and controls a pocket detention of which he could banish everyone to

The infestation can eat and incorporate itself in metal, the tyranids cannot. Nuff said

Something that’s even scarier about the infestation is that it is capable of keeping a copy of your consciences within it to lure those looking for you. The Tyrinids wouldn’t even know they are infected before it’s too late and the whole give mind has been corrupted by the infestation

How I see 40k vs Warframe is basically just Warframe on Steelpath.

A more interesting match up in my mind would be Kuva Liches vs custodes.

Mfw vauban just throws like 50 fucking bastilles and mag crumples an entire army like paper

I mean, I agree to an extent, if it was a sudden inexpected brawl, the custodes has a fair shot and maybe even an advantage based on who they end up against. Though if each side knew at least what caliibur of enemy they were going up agains, the warframes win hands down imo I mean you can be as fast or well armoured as you like, but when Jade can trn your armour into paper and slow your movements to a crawl with a dissaproving mom glare while holding a cannon built to punch holes in space craft, you are pretty cooked

This is complete bs tyrnids would win without difficulty

The infested have no way of winning... The tyranids disrupt literally ALL psychic communications because of the Shadow in the Warp. That instantly breaks the Infesteds link to each other. Secondly, the tyranids have hyper adaptation, letting them change and adapt to literally anything thrown at them. Example, a form of exterminatus, so the eradication of all life on a planet, is a "Virus Bomb". This BARELY slows down a Tyranid hoard. If they arent entirely wiped out instantly, the Hive Mind, essentially a GOD that's controlling the Nids, just learns from it instantaneous and immediately begins producing Nids that are ENTIRELY RESISTANT to that virus through the Hive Ships. Nothing in the WF universe would stand a chance against nids, technocyte included. Nids only need days to hours to consume a planet. I got the impression this video wasn't well researched after hearing how poor and lacking the knowledge was on the Hive Mind and Synaptic links, Shadow of the Warp, adaptation ability and that nids win by "Numbers", which isn't the case. They win by adaptation. If that means numbers, then nids will do that, if it means quality over quantity, they'll do that.

i think the scariest part of the technocyte virus is that it wasnt some ancient race that was discovered, it was manufactured it still an incredibly new species who has shown capability to constantly evolve and adapt sure theyre not a threat on the scale of the man in the wall but like what about in a billion years what if the infestation gets into the void the coda strain shows that the infestation can manifest through time itself
