@WilsonTurnerWhat about dis?



It wins because w40k

Those legs/waist would be crushed to oblivion.

The giant cannon wouldn't be kinetic; ammunition wouldn't be able to be efficiently funneled to it.

General proportions and all that suggest that firing the big cannon would drop it on its back.

Very easy target for a whole lot of effort and resources.

General design of it suggests a medieval-y walker, steampunky. I don't think technology would've advanced sufficiently to have such little legs pull up such big feet and move them without falling over, nor while keeping up such a great big weight.


To be fair, this walker is from a setting where hell is an alternate reality inhabited by demons that will eat your soul the moment they get... and you have to go through that hell for FTL travel, if there is one flaw in your ships psychic shield your soul gets eaten because your just a puny mortal who cannot possibly stand up to the chaos gods. The navigation beacon in this hell is powered by the corpse of the God-Emperor of Mankind who is constantly fighting a physic battle to stop said hell from spilling over into the real world. There are literally gods running around murdering other gods and betraying each other then getting murdered by mortals and soulless robots and trapped into fragments, and where a race achieved advancement from prehistoric stone age to super advanced alien race in 5000 years and apparently have no soul despite every other biological entity in the setting having a soul... Reality got buttfucked a long, long time ago, so;

1: Probably super metals. If not, power armour super metals. If not, metals being held up by the will of the guy who got skinned, embalmed and entombed inside the thing

2: They're energy weapons

3: It's not kinetic, like you said, so that can be chalked up to lacking recoil

4: Pretty much, though that's probably part of the design because the imperium loves making bullet sponge walkers. From it's ornate design I would judge that it's probably quite holy, so it might have a Rosarius field (Read: super energy shield). Or it might just be made out of super metals. Or power armour super metals. Or both, because why the hell not. To top it all of, from the colour scheme it's from the Ultrasmurfs so even if it was armed only with a piece of string and a thimble, it will destroy everyone who stands in it's way. Lol.

5: You're right on what the designs imagery, but wrong on the time frame. It's supposed to be from the year 40,000 AD (Or at least, it's presumably AD 40,000, unless the Imperium Switched the dates at some point) lol.

Negative energy is a thing that we know how to use right now. We just have no idea how to get it or even if we can get it.

Besides, RKV are things that we don't have right now purely because nobody specifically wants to use them.


We have also already created a antimatter, and even managed to hold a atom of antihydrogen stable for a half and hour.

Also nano machines not being a thing in the near future is hard to believe.

No. No. That's not the same thing. No. Nononononononononononononononononononononononono. Antimatter isn't negative mass, nor is it even remotely related to negative mass. And you don't say "A antimatter" or "A atom". It's "an atom" and "a(n) particle/atom/whatever the hell of antimatter".

Let's revisit the fact that you thought antimatter and negative mass were the same thing.

With all this supermetal crap, I think I'd just make a really big long-range cannon on the opposite side of the planet, have a small scout team mark the rather obvious target (or just spot it from orbit or high-altitude satelite) and then put a hole in it with a power armor human-enchanted-or-whatever supermetal shell that has superexplosives and crap.

That should put a hole in it. If not, I'll just use a nuke to blast a crater large enough to make it extremely difficult to get up.

Or maybe just a weather machine, and get it stuck in the mud. Slip'n'slide, eh?

Considering they have starship-grade armor and and starship-grade shield, they take quite a bit of punishment. And besides, 40k doesn't do logical.

An 8-foot armspan maybe... But they are most certainly not 8 feet wide naturally.

When I go with capital ships, I go with ships that are utilarian. Not space robots. God, I hate the term mecha- I love mechs, I see them as realistic sophisticated machines with guns, rockets, or missiles in reasonable quantity. I see mecha as giant multicolored human-bots that like beating the shit out of everything with metal fists.

If someone can make a giant metal fist that holds together on impact to something else steel, then I want to use that fist as armor.


>mechs
>realistic

The perfect oxymoron.

Mechs > Mecha, yes, agreed. go Mad Cats and blood Asps :P


Battletech is arguably even worse when it comes to realism.

They are described as having an obscenely wide shoulder span and I was exaggerating based off that :P (Though looking over it again, some apparently reach 10 foot in height...) Though I last paid proper attention to the fluff back in the 3rd edition. I used to play tabletop and was thinking of dusting off my army, seeing what figures still existed and doing it again last year, but took one look at the revised fluff and nearly lost my breakfast. It was... heresy...

If your civilization is at the stage where antimatter reactors have been objectively proven to be entirely superior to fusion or fission reactors (meaning that you've surmounted the engineering issues with such a finicky reactor system), where reaction drives have been outmoded by magical reaction-less propulsion systems, and where nano-scale robots can complete entire star bases at breakneck speeds, then there's really no point in the Federation even existing. You're already leagues ahead of everyone else in terms of technical capability.

Hell, doesn't your nation control three planetary systems?

Nice nation development, Duck.

As usual, you've pulled a classic Duck move.
