I'm pretty sure this is actually how Armageddon is able to fight the Nids, because the Orks and humans are able to form momentary truces for the purpose of exploiting this to clear the field of any interlopers in their own fighting. Which, yeah let's talk about the fact that you can actually form truces with the Orks if you just show them a bigger enemy that the both of you can fight together, the only thing Orks love more than fighting the humies is hitching a ride with the humies to fight some huge ass nid fleet

[@marcolino269]

I've always seen the strenght of the Imperium in that way: the Age of Strife was probably worst that the current situation overall, so I think that a recovery is possible. How? Humanity always performed very well in a particular situation: 1- with an unified and centralized command 2- with an ideology driving it 3- military speaking, what humanity needs is an unified elite force that spearheads conquest and that wins every single battle; that force are the space marines Legions. While the chapters imo have been great in holding the line and preventing another major civil war, the legions are needed for the offensive in a crusade-like fashion attack that takes out enemies of humanity one by one. A force of a million space marines non-scattered but united could take out one by one every other faction in the current situation, while the Imperial Guard holds the line and keeps the Imperium alive. Of course this would require the return of the loyalist primarchs: just look what Guilliman managed to do alone. The Great Crusade, the Damocles Crusade, the Macharian Crusade, the Indomitus Crusade... just look what could be done in the right context and situation.

[@cryptosporidium1375]

[@Michael-bn1oi]

There was way less warp shit in the age of strife. The Galaxy is in objectively it's worst state ever, because GW keeps making more things happen. Also, if every chapter even so much as implied to maybe exist was at double codex numbers it would still be way less than a million. I mean come on, if there are a thousand chapters then it is embarrassing things ever got so bad.

Percentages mater. If your left with .0001% of the fantasy setting population intact you probably have a world of skaven going to go extinct in 3-5 generations. The total population of just perpetuals could leave the setting with 100s of people left fighting the nids till the old ones come back and speak the universe into existence before they nope out to run from some "bigger threat"

[@patrickbo2045]

Wasn't the end times ruined by ten billion rats eating everything? I mean, the thing is, in 40k stuff like that is less likely to happen because everything is so stupidly overpowered, it cancels each other out. Like, a huge swarm of nids trying to eat everything? Don't you worry, there is at least three factions that hard counter them. Orks get stronger the more they fight, Necrons have uber imba technology, chaos isn't edible, Tau won't melee and counters them by design, you get the gist of it.

[@drarsen33]

That is one of things about the Tau. Tau empire with its all allied races and expansion spheres is around 100 planets strong. When what ever came from Ghoul Stars attacked Imperium lost 1000 worlds before being able to stop what ever it was. Imperium has approximately around 1 million planets. Loss of 10 planets for Imperium is hardly noticeable.

Grim dark loses its edge if there isn't hope. After all, if there is no silver lining and no chance at victory, grim dark loses its punch!

This of course opens the door for new heroes to rise to the challenge and thus the cycle repeats. No matter if things are grim dark or sunshine rainbows...too much of either one makes for a stale and boring setting.

Some of us though do like an ending. Actually if the setting did end, I would like to see it end just like how Mass Effect ends if you have low War Assets. The shattered fleets and fallen armies of every faction strewn across the galaxy. The Imperium lies in ruins, from the farthest colony to Holy Terra itself. The Eldar Craftworlds now lie broken, floating in the void. The Tau Septs are in a similar look to the Imperium. Commoragh is even more chaotic than it ever was in history. Necron Tomb worlds are empty save for maybe a few remaining. Chaos is all but defeated, with barely enough sentient life to give it strength. The great Tyranid Hive Mind is now nothing more than a shadow. The Emperor is probably dead or tired of everything and just lives the rest of his life somewhere. All the heroes of every faction dead. The Chaos Gods destroyed. The remaining survivors of every race trying rebuild the worlds they are on. Victory was gained by the denizens of the Milky Way galaxy but at the of cost everything

Boiyo I'd be careful calling Tyranid adaptation "slow", or "lacking in tactical ability. The Tyranids have always been used as the plot device faction, meaning they are always as easy to destroy as the main feature of the lore needs them to be to shine. There are numerous cases of Tyranids out smarting their enemies and eating them, like the Nephelim king who killed a knight by exploiting their nobility. GW always Nerfs or Buffs them according to their whims, so it is hard to use a hand full of novels that say one thing or the other with Tyranids. Mostly because not even GW knows how strong they want the Tyranids to end up at the final confrontation (Wich may never come).

You're right even to the point that the Swarmlord has become a discount Avatar of Khaine, i.e. where the AOK is affected by the "Worf Effect" the Swarmlord is totally consumed by it, more a right of passage for Astartes officers than an existential threat to the planets it appears on.

The Necrons: Ancient soulless immortal androids who killed the creator race and enslaved their own gods with technology so advanced it can easily shut down the warp witch was reshaped by their ancient war. The Tau: A young race that has become a technologically advanced space empire so incredibly quickly that if left unchecked will rule the galaxy and is nearly immune to chaos and who not only poses a technological threat but an ideological one as well. The Orks: The most numerous race in the galaxy who become stronger and more numerous the more you fight them, who can create any weapon or vehicle from a uceless pile of scrap, who's psychic power grows with their numbers and is immune to chaos.

[@fionn2220]

Depends what you mean by ''doomed'', if you mean ''is the imperium eventually going to collapse if WH40K ever ends?'' Yes, total success of the Emperors vision for humanity is both impossible and a slam dunk victory would be disappointing even to Imperium fans. It'd go against the entire theme. If by ''doomed'' you mean, will chaos and/or the tyranids cause the extinction of all sentient life in the galaxy? No that would be an equally bad ending that no wants to write or read. What I would imagine would happen if GW ever runs out of money and has to write an ending is the Eldar sacrifice themselves to destroy Slaanesh, atoning for their sin of creating it, the Tyranids are revealed to the creations of the exiled old ones and therefore the necrons fault for existing, the necrons go extinct destroying the Tyranids, atoning for their sin of waging The War In Heaven. Humanity is then free to throw everything they have at chaos, destroying both factions and atoning for OUR sin of hubris in trying to conquer the galaxy and defeat nature itself at once. The (reformed) T'au then inherit the ashes of the Galaxy, having been passed the torch by every species that came before them and ensuring the cycle of death and rebirth ends with them. I think that would be the most dramatic, thematically appropriate and satisfying ending, far more so than just 'humanity epic winz' or 'everyone dies the end'.

[@jimjamauto]

Imperium winning would honestly be kind of retarded, but they're "our guys" so making them lose would be as disappointing as WHF End Times. They should just not end the story at all because when GW alters major plot points it usually ends up in a train wreck. For instance the way GW has been writing Space Dad recently making all his "mistakes" planned because ayylmao foresight is already awful and it makes the Imperium story less compelling than him failing due to the limitations of his own humanity, like how he was written in the past.

If I were to place each major race by threat level it would go like this. Tau: They are the least threatening at this time. They have some interesting tech but don't have the numbers, industry, or advanced AI to pull off anything serious in the Galaxy. They will mostly stay on the def for now. Alderi: They are still divided between their Craftworlds and it will take them sometime to even Unite behind Ynned. For now they can do some damage but not a huge threat either. The lack numbers and it takes a long time for them to grow more. Orks: Despite being pains in the ass for everyone else, They haven't done anything that big since Gazghul or Octirous Sector. I only think the Ork Warghs grow to the size of the threat they are facing and launch their attacks which most places are not as strong as some would think. There is a chance we will see Ork attack moons again but its pretty low until a major threat arrises. Chaos: The Forces of Chaos are not so focused on defeating anyone in the Galaxy, what most see is just spillage of the bigger conflict within the warp between the gods themselves in their great game. The only reason why Chaos would attack united is if their is a threat they want taken out or if they require more souls to consume. They are still a big threat but like the Orks, they won't turn their heads until the Emperor comes back more powerful. Necrons: They are a big threat when they are not fighting eachother. If someone people living on their tomb worlds, they will likely ask them nicely to leave or not bother and kill them all. If the Necron can unite they will become the biggest threat in the Galaxy by far. Tyrinds: Easily a huge threat at this time. The rate they grow is stunning, and even if their isnt a bigger fleet out there, they can still increase their numbers by each world they consume and become a mega fleet rather quickly. Imperium: By far the biggest threat to everyone and themselves in the Galaxy. I mean the Imperium is the Fuel for Chaos at this point of time and is very self destructive because of its views on chaos and anyone they consider an outsider.

Majorkill, I really want to start doing some WH40K fan fiction but I'm not sure what area of the lore I'd like to dive into. I'd love it if you could do something like a top 5 or top 10 sections of lore that need fleshing out. Some ideas I've seen that are really tempting are the early lore of the Big E, the story of the 2 missing Primarchs, or maybe some of the early Tyranid encounters...

[@spookyghostwriter3110]

Some starting points from both 30k and 40k that could be of interest (as a fellow fanfiction writer- hence my name). 30k- The murder of Jerulas Station (a renegade forge world that got obliterated- almost certainly by Necrons). The fate of the Disciples of the Flames (a unit of the Salamanders) and their loyalist Iron Warriors allies of the 114th Grand Battalion. Reznor- A world surrounded by at least hundreds of broken warships that fought in the HH(but no clue to who they were). The fate of Loyalist elements of Traitor Legions (see Disciples of the Flames above for an example). Nightfall- Flagship of the Night Lords- Partook in the Battle for Terra, but unknown what happened to it by 40k. 40k: Abyssal Crusade- Fate of two chapters (Blades Eternal and Fists of Olchis) unclear. Space Hulks- Any and every Space Hulk is different, and represent an endeavour worth exploring. Many chapters have… unclear origins (Minotaurs, Blood Ravens to name a few). The early career of Eisenhorn isn’t particularly well explored (about 18 years worth from 222. M41 to 240. M41). The return of the Speranza (Ark Mechanicus) to Imperial Space and what happens after.

Something that I find equally as curious as whether or not the overall war in Warhammer 40k will ever even end is...can a faction like the Imperium of men actually DEAL with life after the war's end? Think about it- so many aspects of the imperium are dedicated to waging endless war against unbelievably powerful enemies, and when they are not powerful, they are still overwhelming in numbers, that I'm genuinely finding it hard to imagine many of the astartes, aside from the salamanders and maybe others too, as I still have much to learn about the factions and lore, adjust to peaceful, civilian lives. For example, I find it hard to imagine, say, Tyberos the red wake, finding a job as, for example, a boxer or a gym instructor, after the war's end. It would be such a radical shift in way of living, that it would present a completely new series of challenges for many to face.
