Tyranids vs The Flood

CyberGama · February 03, 2015, 09:07:11 PM

I've been curious of how the flood would deal with a threat like them but deadly as the Tyranids, i would give this one to the Tyranids due to there amount of power and the shear amount of armies it has, but that just me, so who would you give your credit to, the Tyranids or the flood?

The Waifu Master · February 03, 2015, 09:25:28 PM

Is this even a contest?
Tyranids would wipe the flood hard.

Korra · February 03, 2015, 09:37:00 PM

Depends. Game Flood or Silentium Flood?

big sponge · February 03, 2015, 10:04:55 PM

Nids

The flood can't take control of them and hive minds register as gods in the warp.

To beat up Halo fanboys. Well that's why Charlie started them back on b.old at least since they'd go to rediculous lengths to perpetuate their belief that Halo was the best sci-if universe ever.

I used to enjoy the [insert superhero here] vs Spartan threads a lot.
It was funny watching them trying to beat out OP superheroes with a Spartan's (mediocre in comparison) capabilities.

Wouldn't Silentium Flood stomp though?

True Turquoise · February 03, 2015, 10:50:12 PM

Isn't this slightly unfair? I mean... The flood...

I'm not familiar with the other ones.

I'm not seeing how. The current nids in 40k are just an expiditionary force and iirc they've got 5 galaxies worth of nids on the way.

Nids are also immune to infection and logic plague.

Weren't the Flood able to warp space-time and use star-roads to throw planets and stars around like missiles?

Mr. Admirals · February 03, 2015, 11:42:24 PM

Halo fans, the Tyranids win. Flood are powerful, but everything in 40K is SUPER OP.

Jono · February 03, 2015, 11:42:52 PM

Since the Zerg are based on the Tyranids, I pick them to beat The Flood

Which isn't all that impressive when you take into account just how massive a galaxy is. For the sake of this ability not being completely worthless lets assume that these stars and planets are moving at or near light speed instead of 550 mph and let's also assume these planets are able to retain their mass, size, shape, and state of matter, also on top of that we're going to assume they don't collide with any other celestial bodies or black holes when on route to their intended targets.

If we're to use our solar local area in the galaxy as a measurment then it would take at least 4 years to hit it's closest target of you were aiming at anything outside of its own solar system.

Basically you could only use this inside a single solar system if you wanted to be able to hit anything at all and systematically destroying yourselves doesn't exactly equal victory.

So...the book made no sense at all?

No, it made sense. The Precursors just never did what LC thinks they did when moving planets and stars and altering their densities.

Actually I think it's more of a shadow than a specific god entity <.<

When the tendrils are working their way through a sector/subsector they block out the warp with realspace psychic influence. Like having a bucketload of astronomicons all shrieking like a desticle rather than singing to one coherent choirbook >.>

Doctor Doom · February 04, 2015, 01:59:10 PM

It'd likely end in a sort of draw, where every time one side gets some sort of advantage the other adapts to it.

Until the actual tyranid fleets get there, anyway. Then it's a godstomp.
