Huh. Wonder how well the X Men and their various foes would do there? The Shadow King would probably wind up eating one of the Chaos gods >.O And Apocalypse would probably survive by sheer force of awesomely ham-tastic dialogue ("I AM THE ROCKS OF THE ETERNAL SHORE! CRASH UPON ME AND BE BROKEN!") And Professor X is often spoken of as basically owning the psychic plane. Might do some pretty funky stuff to the Warp, or at least a small part of it...
And if you dropped the Asgardians in there, we could have some fun. I don't think even the 40k galaxy has quite so much psychotically destructive crap lying around (there's at least two things I can think of off the top of my head that could make the entire universe go boom- the Odinsword and the Eternal Flame). And the general hammer-smashing would likely be fun to watch
After watching the premiere, I think Korra could do well if dropped off there.

Only if she kept her head down really, really, well, though that could be said of a lot of people. Including a number of random tropers and 40k nerds who know enough about the verse to not say something extra-heretical that'd get them purged.
While counterpsyker measures might not work against her (blanks and such), one of the better Librarians (the guys who can flatten continents with their minds) would literally flay her alive with his mind, and that's not even getting into the Imperium's elite soldiers (Grey Knights), or xenos/Chaos.

This is a signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.We mentioned Exalted at some point, and I thought up Exalted IN SPACE
much with such a crossover in mind.
I just had an idea. What about SCP-682? Khorne would be all like "Oh HELL YES, you and I are going to be total bros."
Hell, now that I think about it, Khorne would probably say that to Dr. Alto Clef as well. Tzeentch would probably take Kondraki, master of the Indy Ploy.
In all seriousness. With enough SC Ps, almost anyone could survive in the 41st Millennium.
Newbie incoming!But surviving those SCPs would become a problem in itself.
I'm not sure if I mentioned him in this thread, but this guy
makes me think that the Daleks would be a good fit for the 40K galaxy after all.

El Presidente... Obviously, If he can take on the entire soviet union with a baseball bat, imagine giving him something better? Chaos = Defeated, Tropico = New Imperium of Man, Tyranids = pests that keep on eating his favourite hat, Necrons = Free Iron Deposit, Tau + Eldar = new foreign powers. Obviously I'm not being serious, he'd die really easily. On a serious note I can imagine that Johnny Cage could survive, given that the Elder Gods gave him that can't die ability in original canon, and in MK 9 arcade ending he becomes really Powerful (in comparison to the setting anyway), also this kinda works for any Mortal Kombat character in theory, Scorpion especially because he's already, well, dead.
"You'd never do something as irrational as dying."Godzilla would be cool as hell to watch throwing down with Titans.
Here's another:
Drop a 32,000 Ton Bolo Tank onto Cadia in the midst of the 13th Black Crusade
I don't know if its been said before, but I'm willing to bet any ACU from Supreme Commander would be a pain in the ass to deal with if you don't crush him as soon as he shows up. Give him a couple of hours and he can have a base you need to Exterminatus off the face of the planet to deal with.
Or the Armored Cores from Armored Core 4 or For Answer. Those things break the sound barrier by just moving.
Whoo... one of the latter-day Bolos (like the ones that have progressed far enough to have the Hellbores as auxiliary weapons? >.O) would make a right hash out of most ground forces in the 40k 'verse.
Harry Dresden would be another fun one to watch. He's savvy enough to keep his head down, and bloody dangerous enough to rip most of the threats in the 40k 'verse a new one in solo combat, particularly if he has any kind of prep time and has his full powers as Winter Knight...
He's not gonna be setting the universe ablaze, or anything, but he'd very likely make his mark.
And not very much, I'm afraid. I'm pretty sure that unless we're talking about vast swarms of Kaiju, just about any creature from the genre would be outmatched in a space opera universe.
I couldn't see him surviving a Lance Strike, for instance, unless he can regenerate from being completely vaporized.
Godzilla would probably be eaten by 'Nids... who would promptly make more of him, linked to the Hive Mind. You can run now. But you can't hide!
"And as long as a sack of shit is not a good thing to be, chivalry will never die."I wonder what the Yuzhan Vong would do to the 40k galaxy. They're basically the SWEU's Tyranids, but they move a lot faster, and aren't particularly animalistic. They also happen to have a significantly higher kill count per year than any force in 40k history.
(They war against them saw the loss of 500 trillion lives, which is like the Imperium fighting the Horus Heresy 100 times over (no seriously, wikia says the HH had a total death count of about 4.3 trillion.))

This is a signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.That might just be an example of the 40K writers not having a good sense of scale, though.
Really, any faction you could care to name, regardless of how overpowered or underpowered they would seem to be, would probably just slide into the X-way-deadlock and become a feature of the setting just because of the way the 41st Millennium works.
(I do wonder what the YV would think of the Obliterator virus and what it does to machinery, though.)
I don't know... there are a few characters or factions that I think are so fundamentally game-changers that even the the fact that War Never Changes won't be enough to keep them from altering the very face of the 40k 'verse. Either by possessing firepower so overwhelming (like the Lensmen) that any attempts at violence upon them results in them spending a casual afternoon conquering the 40k universe, or else having some personal quality that would make a complete hash of the status quo (like Doctor Doom with his impossible force of personality and his genius in both magic and tech).
Hate to tell ya, but WH 40 K gets a guy on doctor dooms level everyday, somewhere in the Galaxy. Seriously, its GALAXY, its a miracle that the Imperium has kept is millions of worlds toegether as long as it has

Not only psykers, but the mere fact that the Imperium is a paranoid society that knows about many different kinds of infections, possessions and infestations that can turn humans against it.
