The Affront in 40k

Post by **fgalkin** » 2002-10-02 07:57pm

Suppose that due some whim by the random omnipotent of the week, the entire Affront Republic relocates to the 40k galaxy. This means all their planets and their fleets.

They appear somwhere in a relatively quiet place in the galaxy. They have knowledge of 40k races, and some knowledge off their capabilities. The 40k natives know nothing about the Affront.

This is not an "Affront vs. 40k", it's "Can Affront survive in 40k", meaning all the 40k races don't team up on the new guys, but rather they continue to fight among themselves. Also, the Affront can make alliances with 40k races.

Finally, the Affront have 3 ROUs in their posession, but they cannot use them unless they are desperate, and they can't reverse-engineer any of their technology.

Will the Affront survive?

A race from the culture universe, but a lot weaker.

no. they can't the second they go near the eye of terror the minds of the ROU's suddenly reset their memories to 000000000... and all the affront drop dead. Similarly almost all of the other races can kick them. Not to mention the high probability of the ROUs eventually noticing th affront are lunatic sadists and running away.

I want an edit button!

Though, now I think about it if they were wise they could possibly carve out a small domain. They might become raiders somewhat like the dark eldar only less competent and the longer they try to dupe the ROUs the less likely they are to suceed. Though by taking on the culture they kind of proved that they are rampantly stupid anyway.

Not, quite. The Affront stared a war with the Culture only to get their hands on the Excession.

They could learn to avoid the Eye of Terror.

As for 40k races kicking thier ass, thier shis still have reaction times in the microseconds, as well as stuff like displacers and effectors. And, yes, they have the technology to build drones (no as advanced as Eleench or Culture, though), but they choose no to, because they consider all machines inferior.

And the ROUs are loyal to the Affront in this debate.

What is the Excession, anyway? No major spoilers, tho.

Post by **fgalkin** » 2002-10-04 06:37pm

Since that what the story's about, anything will be a spoiler. The only thing I can tell you is Excession vs. Culture =Culture vs. movie MI.

i do want to know what the Excession is. So you can tell me and just warn everybody it's a spoiler.

Post by **NecronLord** » 2002-10-05 11:57am

so. An alpha plus psyker can still kill them all from any distance he wishes. of create a warp rift and suck the ROU's into a realm where physical laws are meaingless unless you have specialised tech to deal with it.

Yes and the tech preists of mars have an approximate culture level of technology, they believe it is unholy though. I will also pointo out that there is no 40K race without transportation tech. Their reasons for fighting the culture do not matter. It is still stupid.

While the ROUs take a nap, play a game of checkers, and then EFFECTORIZE THEIR ASS!

Hmmm an ROUI vs Nightbringer or the Deciever? can a C`tan be effectorized?

Post by **NecronLord** » 2002-10-07 02:33am

as It does not physically exist, no You could probably piss it off by blowing up a star in its face though.

You dont understand An Alpha Plus psycer does not need to be anywhere remotely in effector range to suck them all into the warp, once there they are deamon playthings, and no, you can't effectorise a deamon in its own dimension.

Post by **NecronLord** » 2002-10-07 02:35am

Do you really think that the Necrons would have so many problems with psycers if they had to be close to you to use their powers?

I've seen this thread before.
THe Affron seem pretty cool. They're just up for a laugh, which to them, involves lots of death and destruction.

I wouldnt think so...

Although Effectors can do just about anything.....so if it was a weak C'tan its possible lots of powerful effectors could drain its energys....problem is, the Outsider is an example of what happens when the thing that consumes a C'tan isnt powerful enough to fully absorb them...

utter raving lunacy...

And the C'tan did have the power to frag solar systems with black holes....so they dont have to be too accurate.

Post by **NecronLord** » 2002-10-07 11:25am

Theres no evidence that they can effectorise a C'tan in either form.

They have never effectorised low density plasma
no Necron living metal, which they probably could effectorise partially, but the C'tan would just leave it.

Man gridfire would be a waste of time against C`tan....the things consume energy and it may ask for seconds

Post by **NecronLord** » 2002-10-08 02:51am

Excession powered C'tan? nasty very nasty

I want one!

lets see
effectors-out
displacing plasma-yum
gridfire-yum yum
anything else?

Great, er why did you say that?

Post by **fgalkin** » 2002-10-08 07:30pm

Can the C'tan absorb infinite amounts of energy or does it have a limit (i.e. more energy than it can handle at one time)?

It depends which one you are talking about..

The Outsider appears to be unable to cope with the number of C'tan he has consumed, while the Nightbringer, who munched most of the rest of the C'tan doesnt have a problem at all.

Theres no evidence that they can effectorise a C'tan in either form.

Obviously, but we do know that C'tan can be sucked dry of energy, an effector could potentially do this..

Afterall, even the Nightbringer was shown to be vunerable in his super-weakened state after awakening, to energy loss..
