A company of Night Lords end up in our world because warp fuckery...

Basically fuck around like they're on vacation, maybe try to make use of local infrastructure to resupply, but end up disappointed due to our primitive tech base.

To make up for their disappointment they flay alive every living human being in the Greater Tokyo area.

He's right.

GW is horrific at scale, because they always have lone companies or chapters taking over planets, but it is just too much ground to cover.

I mean come on now. It's 100 dudes that are really strong, fast, and tough, sure. But oh wait, you just dropped a nuke on them. Or you shot them with 20mm cannons. Or howitzers. Or grenades. Or Tomahawk missiles. They're all dead.

We probably couldn't fight off 100,000 Night Lords (i.e. the whole Legion) with all their gear and ships and shit. But 100 dudes? They'd get slaughtered if they poked their heads out after the initial attack.

> But oh wait, you just dropped a nuke on them
It's a good job you know exactly where they are and you've got someone willing to nuke millions of souls into oblivion on the off-chance that you'll get one of these guys.

Even then, Astartes have survived frigging orbital virus bombing (granted, they hunkered down first).

>you nuked them

>those guys that are experts at using spooky scary guerilla tactics and psychological warfare

Gratz, you just nuked some innocent city with no Spess Marines in it That country is now super pissed at you. War erupts. Nukes fly.

Night Lords sit back and laugh as the world burns.

>Or you shot them with 20mm cannons. Or howitzers. Or grenades. Or Tomahawk missiles. They're all dead.

>im-fucking-plying you would ever see them out in the open

Nigga these aren't World Eaters. Nor are they Space Wolves or Blood Angels or Black Templars. They are SPOOKY MAHREENS.

We wouldn't even know they exist until they were ready to take over.

fpbp

My point is, they are not invincible. Furthermore, if they want to do anything aside from shank random people and run away, they'll have to come into the open to some degree. They are not sneaky--in fact, they're the opposite of sneaky. They are spooky, as you say yourself. They are trained to slam on things with overwhelming force and intimidate the opposition in garish and horrifying ways. They can do that when they have 100,000 guys.

100 dudes? It's gonna be a lot harder.

>We probably couldn't fight off 100,000 Night Lords (i.e. the whole Legion) with all their gear and ships and shit.

>probably

Modern day Earth would have zero chance against any of the legions, no probably about it. We would get wrecked.

The Night Lords are the kind of guys who would make their intentions of attacking the White House/Kremlin/House of Parliament etc known, wait for the majority of the soldiers to bunker down at the key location of their choosing, then broadcast themselves skinning all of their loves ones alive worldwide.

That's assuming the command staff of a nuclear capable nation knows where they are or are in any state to operate properly when 80% of their leaders, and the families of their leaders, have been hung by their own arteries and had their eyes and tongue torn out while they're still alive and the other 20% are shuddering in maximum security bunkers with one eye open, lest the seven and a half foot midnight-blue superhumans come out of the darkness, slaughter their guards and do the same to them while filming their screams and broadcasting them on a major news outlet.

...

We have to accept Night Lord raids as a part of everyday Earth life.

Part and parcel desu

And I mean to be honest the first step with orbital superiority would be to knock out any and all satellites, so say good bye to GPS, and the hundreds of other things the military uses satellites for.

The company makes base in some war-torn shithole of a country and start to gather data, slaves and resources, forming cultist movements by "helping" some local faction. This faction starts to have the upperhand in all conflicts it gets involved, taking over not only the war-torn shithole of a country but also starting to aggressively take over other countries, any resistance is dismantled in unbelievable ways by stealth operations carried out by the Night Lords, with the usual over the top edginess. The cultist movements start to spread into other countries as well.

Once war has spread and disrupted the entire world the Night Lords carry out kidnapping missions around the planet and capture a few hundreds of key figures, religious leaders, a few presidents, members of royal families, youtubers, what have you, anyone that is known by a lot of people, even the leaders of the political movements they were "helping" before.

Then they start to torture these people in the most horrendous ways possible and spread the recordings around the world, sometimes dropping a random dead body or dying victim here and there just to spread the terror. The cultist movements start to eat the social structure of every country.

They hold the world hostage and the planet just gives up.

A Night lord would have a good chance of hijacking a plane, crashing it into a building, and living to tell the tale.

This desu

>What kin dof terror attacks would they carry out
all of them
>where would they happen?
everywhere

please
you act as if the entire company would be in one place, where it's more likely that they would split up and create terrorist cells across the planet using the locals as a cult force.

yeah that's far more likely, and frankly way more terrorizing

They'll still die if they get shot by a modern tank considering how weak the Leman Russ is. Attrition will get them eventually.

>it's a /k/ invades and wanks off the cancerous overpriced american military vs 40kids with no sense of scale thread
Yay.

Yes, they might be strong, but a hundred people CAN NOT take over a fucking planet!!!

Yes they might be able to kill thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands.
Yes they might be able to make everyone shit their pants and want to surrender

But we're talking here about 100 people here, even tough they are space marines, it's like saying 1 million soldiers can take over the world. Hitler had 12.5 million German soldiers and he didn't even manage to take over europe or russia

It's logistically impossible. I live in a little shit town in belgium, they aren't going to drop by every fucking shithole in the world and they probably wouldn't be able to even properly coordinate the smallest shittiest country of belgium, let alone the world with 100 hundred people.

There is 148940000 km2 of livable surface on earth.... that means that every night lord would have 1489400 km2 of land to hold.

GW can't into numbers, even with a chapter it would be impossible...

ITT: Strategic assassination and destruction isn't a thing.
The nations of the western world can't even deal with random shootings and stabbings, how the fuck would we cope with a massive coordinated terror attack on the heirarchy of world leaders committed by superhuman warriors able to survive tank rounds? Shit dude, they could just walk into any senate or parliament, straight past the guards, through steel doors, without even breaking stride. Then once inside, all they have to do is blast that insane volume of noise through their helmet speakers and permanently deafen everyone in the building. Bam. That's most of a country taken out in one step. Now imagine a few Terminators teleporting onto an aircraft carrier and seizing control of it. That's if they didn't just decide to nuke a city from orbit as an appetizer.

You would think that /k/ would love warhammer with the amount of guns and daka in it.

>survive tank rounds

user, bolt shells - 19.5mm supersonic AP - can punch through the hard parts of power armor, though unreliably. Bayonets can punch through the soft bits with some luck.

Any modern shaped charge, like a 40mm grenade launcher, 40mm GMG, any shoulder-launched rocket built after WW2, is going to blow through it like tissue paper.

40k Space Marines work because they have plot armor, usually in the form of close quarters + shitty enemy weapons.

When every other Somali militiaman on the planet can one-shot you, eventually, luck catches up.

And terrorists, mass shooters...all those dudes look exactly like normal dudes, because they are. They're average looking people in civilian clothes who only need to drop their guns and walk away to hide.

7' tall men with fused ribcages, giant guns, and 2" thick powered armor with a mini reactor on the back and a foreign accent aren't going to blend in a crowd; and that's the kind of camouflage that keeps terrorists alive.

At that point they might as well just attack the airport and kill everyone they can catch there, because there is no way a 7 foot tall monstrosity with the technological augmentations embedded into it is going to sneak onto a flight undetected - even less chance (obviously) if he's wearing his armour.

Maybe so, but /k/ loves nothing as much as real life guns.

Good luck firing your tank round at a single human-sized target.

Space Marines in armor are far larger than humans and modern FCS is easily capable of hitting moving targets.

>human-sized
lmao

It's really that simple.

For real. 100 people cannot take over territory. You just end up with them squatting varoius building surrounded by national guards and then taken down through pic related or an equivalent.

It all depends if this company would do things the GW way or if they would be reasonable.

If they charge and go full frontal attack they would fail, our planet may be primitive but we are good at killing things and blowing up stuff.
If the Night Lords made their presence known and tried to fight us all they would manage to do is unite the entire world against a common foe and would eventually die.

Now, if they infiltrated and started to move our own forces against us, not making their presence known to everyone, they could beat us.

They could select some drug lord and start to kill his enemies in furtive missions, letting the drug lord take the credit. They could do the same with other groups, religious extremists, political radicals, any group that wants power and has lots of easy to manipulate soldiers, all the while creating cults inside these movements, using drugs, faith, bloodlust, fear, anything really to turn people to Chaos.
The Night Lords would be legends or gods, appearing only to turn the tides of a fight or in secret ritual meetings.

The larger governments would help finance this or that group, send their own troops to fight in these conflicts, or take refugees from the affected areas.

The Night Lords would then spread cultist influence through these countries that are getting involved in the war while assisting their enemies in assassinations, sabotage missions and in surprise attacks, making their foes look more formidable and forcing them to invest more in the war, not noticing that the cults are spreading inside their borders.
The cults would allow Night Lords to infiltrate these countries and carry out terrible operations in these countries, they could do it in the name of a terrorist group or a drug lord, or even leave it anonymous, making tension rise even more.

Terror would eat the world and the cults would take over. By the end they could easily dominate the entire planet.

>100 people cannot take over territory
Not on their own, no, but a hundred supermen with futuristic technology could sure as hell recruit an army or few to join in on their crusade.

Guys.

GUYS.

Aren't we forgetting someone?

Warp-fuckery-assisted time travel aside, the Emperor is already here, hiding somewhere and biding his time.

Could a hundred Night Lords take him on, either in a direct fight or through a shadow war of subterfuge? How would this whole incident end up changing the future of things to come?

ISRAEL

let them come to murrica, try take my guns from my cold dead hands. Barracus Osama couldnt sure as hell ain't no guy on a lightning piyamas gonna finish the job.

>"somewhere"

Actually I think the Emperor leaves earth to go on a radical ride through space during Kennedy.

They would terrorize us through social liberties.

> weak the Leman Russ is
>Leman Russes can deal with Eldar mbts that go 500mphs and have holofields

Abrams is also smaller then the imperial armour to boot.

Modern tanks hit smaller moving targets at a kilometer. If bolters can pierce Space Marine armor, attack helicopter and IFV autocannon definitely can.

The problem with power armor is it shows up on persistent surveillance. One Reaper with ARGUS-IS pods above the facility these Marines are raiding and every open area becomes a 3d killzone with Hellfires raining from the sky.

Are you saying that they are already here?!?

ITT: People with little clue arguing that we could stand up to SM because teknowlogee

It's the other way around actually.

Nah, I had it right the first time.

>Muh terrorism.

>Muh kill politicians.

>Muh recruit an army of drug dealers and seize power....somehow.

>Muh What responce? they are only allowed to do things when we let they do things.

>Muh we can't be tracked even though we are almost certainly going on foot and are wearing robo suits. Don't talk about the fact that manhunts exist, satellites exist and that everyone has a phone.

>Muh what's running out of ammo and equipment breaks?

>Muh steal military aircraft carriers even though it's useless without a crew, logistics and makes them a sitting duck.

This thread is very stupid.

>This thread is very stupid.
I agree that it's stupid, we would be helpless against terror attacks of this magnitude. Shouldn't even be up for debate.

Are you feeling home already, aren't you, "smart" one?
