Mandalorians aren't soldiers. Their warriors. They don't fight for any reason but to fight.

Yeah as a fan of both series; That wouldn't have any chance in hell of Happening.

For one Palps doesn't do "Alliances" By choice His goal is singular domination.

Second The empire could within reason defeat the Imperium of man in a in a costly and long war due to techological advantage and diffrence.

Incorrect; They are Normally wandering Nomadic warrior bands but they have been soldiers at times.

When united under a singular banner and fighting for a cause? Such as they did for Exar Kun? They were soldiers, probably among the best respected soldiers the Sith field.

The Sith all two of them at first were pleased with their New army but in time? They came to respect it and that bond lasted CENTURIES after the conflict ended.

They are among the few Sith will openly respect.

Even being tossed into a Sun wasn't enough to kill him for good.

He lived for so long, Killed so many...He is beyond the level of "Beast" He is a killing diety.

I respect the Sith for their Ambition and despite Lucas's Meddling he didn't manage to Ruin Palpatine nor his decades long plot and long reaching immortal grasp.

He wanted to Dominate all Life and he came within miles of that goal.

Palaptine was the one thing Lucas managed to not screw up in the new trilogy.

I prefer 40k, but I like star wars a lot. I don't know much about Halo, but from what I know it seems pretty neat, though not nearly as cool as the other two settings.

Also, 40k would stomp the other settings if they got into a war.

Indeed; The Central Antagonist is crucial and thankfully it wasn't ruined by poor directing skill.

Pity he didn't find any records of it or didn't have the Knowledge to create one he had enough command of the force to use it i have no doubt about that.

A self generating Military platform though? Something like that...cornucopia techology i believe would be the closest actual theory to the starforge, creating from nothing or near and all.

The Empire could have dominated the galaxy for enternity and probably beyond that in time.

Yeah both sides field a ton of information and Ultimately it was drawn into some sort of truce not to bring it back up again despite me believing the opposite of this fellow that Starwars would openly win any conflict with the Warhammer universe.

Would have been tricky to defend but if it was well guarded enough? It wouldn't matter if you found it or not.

If you get right down to it parts of 40k and parts of star wars would probably ally against other parts of both. Tau and the Rebe Alliance would get along nicely.

I 'spose it would depend on which era we are talking about.

Because Great Crusade Era 40k would be unstoppable.

Yes, but so would Infinite Empire-Era Star Wars and various other things, which is why it was dropped.

Indeed; Toss in things like the Sun Crusher and Galatic Gun and such? You have devices capable of destorying Solar Systems.

The Starforge a platform capable of generating Military vessels, Droids and Materials of war and pretty much anything else with little to no resources being used.

Starwars has a few things capable of making it "Invincible"

And that's putting it lightly.

And I sense we're about to get back into it, so I'm just going to drop it.

How about we compare the two in terms of story telling and general atmosphere? I like how 40k is going with the grimdark thing, it's a fresh breeze from the usual Hollywood "Good guys always win, happy ending" stuff we usually get, but sometimes I feel they go a bit to far into it, ya know?
