    The Xel'Naga created the Overmind so they could avoid the disputes between individuals that occurred when they created the Protoss. Then it evolved and raped them.

    Heretic you need to read some of the SC universe books. They do infact recieve training as well as genetic stimulation and groth hormones etc. Enough nukes or enough yamato cannons could dot he same thing as these Melta Strikes. And one nuke or one yamato cannon would drop those badboys throwing the melta strikes in one hit.

    It creates Norn queens which make their own armies? Hm. That sounds like how the Overmind sort of spawns Cerebrates who make their own broods? Hm.

    Is anyone else thinking that Warhammer 40k is borderline ridiculous? Even for something thats completely unbounded by it's fantasy genre?

    Void missiles that release chaos beats to eat it's foes? Wtf. I could only imagine the scientific team developing that weapon.

    Guy #1: We need a really cool weapon

    Guy #2: LoL we kud mek dis misssle dat spreyz monsterz n shiz n den teh monsterz eats every1. LoL!1!1!!!1111!!!1

    FYI, the terrans stopped production of heavy nukes because they were destroying entire planets, and they limited themselves to the tactical nukes we see in game.

    Keep in mind that all the SC races are around the universe, and populate many,many,many planents...

    *raises hand*

    It sounds very convoluted with its abundance of units and races and whatnot. Eleven races? Seems a bit over-complicated.

    Trying not to laugh out loud at work is hard.

    Kinda of true. Starcraft was originally supposed to be a Warhammer 40k game, but Games Workshop wouldn't let them make a game. Their loss if you ask me. But it is still based on Warhammer 40k, just not as directly. The 3 races were based on the Space Marines/Imperial Guard, Tyranids and Eldar/Tau. And Hadean, I haven't read the Starceaft universe books so I didn't know about all the Marine training and shit. I am sorry for making the marines seem like less then they are.

    Space marines are genetically inhanced super humans able to flip battle tanks and prolly go close combat with a zergling easily. They can survive wounds that would kill a man thrice over. Also note that they have titans which are 3 times as large as a collossus. They have nuclear missles for weapons for heavens sake. Zerg i think are stronger than tyranids because their flying units are amazing. Protoss could easily stand up to eldar however. They both have really exotic weapons however but the eldar dont quite match the technology the protoss have. Necrons are about the same as space marines except they can come back from the dead because of their self regenerating metal. Monoliths can lay waste to any tank the terrans have. Basalisk > siege tanks. A basalisk can fire at targets over 15 kilometers away. Orcs have gargants and are extremely warlike. Not only that they control over 2,000,000 worlds. Imperial guard control over 1,000,000 worlds so they far outnumber any force the terrans have. lets look at space ships... The Imperial guard have space ships the size of large moons. The tyranids are the same. Orcs basically strap rockets to planets and blast off lol. Tau have railgun technology so they could handle almost anything. Chaos have huge demons and can summon them directly from the warp right infront of siege tanks. A demon prince could eat up terran infantry and take on 5 ultralisks. Overall Warhammer 40k would win any conflict but starcraft is a much better RTS game.

    Warhammer, oh yes.. Necrons, a complete emphasise on C'thulu. Space Marines, taken from the Imperial Sardaukar in the Dune universe, along with the Immortal God-Emperor. Imperial Guard being the Mobile Infantry from Starship Troopers. Tau which were added -after- the release of StarCraft, bear a striking resemblance with the Protoss caste system. Tyranids slightly operate as the Arachnids, but their appearance is taken from Giger's Alien.

    This isn't on topic, but I usually watch how every single unit that gets added to SCII seems to be a "rip-off" from the oh-so original Warhammer universe.

    So Thor vs. Dreadnought... who would win from the looks of it?

    I personally think the Dreadnought cause it has multiple armaments and can pick up infantry and instantly kill them ^_^

    i aswell dont know much about eldar, but i know that their most basic infantry have guns that can shoot well over 10,000 fragments of metal per second. also, i read a story that an Eldar Overseer challenged an entire space marine chapter bent on conquering an Eldar planet, and he used his power to seperate every atom of every person and vehicle on the planet (which was most of them). keep in mind that this killed him, but that chapter was completly annihilated because an Eldar fleet was in the system and destroyed the remaining space marine ships

    Pretty sure Protoss wouldn't be based off of Tau, I don't think they were around back then and if so they share no relation aside from being weird legged aliens (inversed-ish kinda)... I like both universes, mostly because of DoW though. Personally, I also think Warhammer 40K sometimes goes over the top to be the most gritty universe out there. Like in one 'skirmish' the death toll would be in the millions

    If we're getting into a whichever is better arguement in WH40K... Eldar are pansies, way to **** up the universe... I like Space Marine history better, Primarchs and whatnot. Plus Inquisitors are badass, they remind me of Ghosts in SC. Super 1337, tasked to do what the average Space Marine or Marine can't do in special circumstancs.

    Dreadnought would win because everything in 40K has like a meter thick armor plating.

    Sc universe auto wins because the only thing that can stop the overmind are dark templar. Warhammer 40k has no dark templar therfore zerg=invincible.

    Warhammer 40K can have a single HUMAN crush a planet... Overmind is f****ed. Not to mention Planets get destroyed on a daily basis in WH40K

    Because this is a Starcraft forum?

    That's insulting... A Titan is easily the 15x the size of the Colossus, and that's the smallest there is... An Imperator titan can hit a space hulk in orbit with its cannons...

    If your talking about how SC is based on 40k, 10-Neon told me after a post I made in the Marine Shield topic.
