Well non-canon pseudophilosophical wank doesn't have much of an effect, so when the Shivans show up, they get thoroughly trounced by basically everybody, because the Freespace universe doesn't stand a chance against the 40k universe.

Sorry, but Blue Planet shall be taken as canon for the purpose of this.

Freespace combat doesn't match up in scale to what they'd be facing in 40k, you'd need the most powerful ships to take on basic Imperial Navy cruisers and they'd get blasted by cannon shells that are the size of the small cruisers. Fighter combat is negligible in 40k, it's all about space galleons broadsiding one another

40k is just as much a slave to its own wank stick as you would say that Blue Planet is, so I don't see your point there.

>>54717767

Blue Planet is a bunch of amateurs twisting a largely secular science fiction setting into their own story that might as well be its own thing.

It is about as relevant to the actual setting as the Knights Inductor or the Hektor Heresy are to 40k.

And current 40k "fluff" is irredeemable shit that can barely be called Warhammer anymore, so that point is moot.

>>54718379
I actually like, say, Text-to-Speech quite a bit more than contemporary 40k lore, but that doesn't mean I can use it to throw around as if it's in any way relevant to actual canon. The same holds true for Blue Planet.

There's also nothing to discuss. The GTVA can fight the Shivans on reasonably even ground, and they'll get crushed into a fine paste by anybody in the 40k universe, Tau included. The Shivans would not fare much better.

>>54718178
I don't give a shit about whatever "blue planet" is, fanwank is what the result of this thread will be, just like every "what if x was in y?" thread.

Its always stupid, pointless and achieves nothing, just people wanking over their prefered faction.

fuck you.

If we are talking about Blue Planet Shivans, then not really, no. The GTVA only continue to exist because the Shivans see *something* inherent within humanity that they want, same with the Vishnans. Destroying them in one fell swoop would ruin their chances of getting that *something*

Was gonna ask what this Blue Planet shit is, but now I don't even want to know.

It isn't that they seek to preserve humans or even the concept of "humanity". Every human being could die and their existence could be burnt away, so long as they got what they wanted out of them. Neither they nor the I shians give a damn about us. All they care about is finding a way to survive "ontovoric threats" such as the Great Darkness. We can all go die in a raging inferno for all they care.

Aren't 40kids the same ones to argue how "THE IMPERIUMZ IS SUPA STRONKZ AND CAN BEAT ANYONES EVAR1110!!!11"? Seems that they are far more pathetic in terms of how they try to argue things.

No, really. Trying to justify your own shit by pointing to something someone else supposedly did is spot fucking on for a seventeen year old with the emotional maturity of a seven year old and a brilliant career in shoplifting ahead of him. Yeah, nobody wants your fucking crossover fanfic, not 40k fans, and sure as hell no Freespace fans. Tough shit, grow up and get over it.

its still arguing using canon.

Actually, part 2 of Blue Planet (War in Heaven) goes *really* far out of its way, to the point of protesting *way* too much, to ram it down your throat that "No, nothing spiritual or mystical going on here! It's all cold hard secular determinism and materialism! What you thought were psychic phenomena are really just brain chemicals or some shit! The aliens you thought were good are actually evil! In fact, *everyone* is evil, including your new player character! Your only hope for survival is to sell your metaphorical soul (metaphorical, of course, because souls don't actually exist, because like we said, nothing spiritual here). It's literally impossible to win, because the enemy is literally unstoppable!"

If anything, War in Heaven seems intent on turning Blue Planet into 40k. I really didn't like it at all.

>>54719218
And they're the ones that War in Heaven tells us we need to *ally* with. Unless they pull something out of their ass for part 3, everyone is completely fucked no matter what. Of course, Laporte couldn't care less as long as she gets to go down on Simms. I don't think any game has ever made me hate the player character more than War in Heaven did.

WIH manages to make itself more grimdark and hopeless than 40k itself, which is quite a feat. Universal Truth is pretty cool though.

>>54723163
If you mean Age of Aquarius Universal Truth, then I agree.

>>54723163
>WIH manages to make itself more grimdark and hopeless than 40k itself, which is quite a feat.
Probably because it plays it completely straight. 40k, on the other hand, isn't really meant to be taken seriously.

>>54723641
You can't take grimdark seriously. That's just being an edgelord.

>>54718441
Is there anything in TtS infodumps that greatly diverges from canon? I don't mean the plot and what the characters do, but what they say about the galaxy and each other.

>>54727165
I can't help but take things seriously, though, so 40k has never appealed to me. I just don't have it in me to look at all the awful shit in 40k and not get depressed.
