You have an unlimited amount of guard vs. the worst the 40k universe has to offer. The planet is a extremely large world consisting of nothing but open, endless plains. The Imperial Guard are limited to the basic guardsman equipped with big flashlight (lasgun) and plastic armor.

How about a single Bloodthirster? Necron Lord? Lord of Change? I'm guessing around One hundred billion guard for just one Bloodthirster. Thirteen million for a Necron Lord and Fifteen billion for a Lord of Change.

Flat Plain and no place for the opponent to hide?

I'd say it would take a regiment or 2 max (so up to about 6,000) to 'kill' the Blood Thirster or Lord of Change, and a company (a couple of hundred Guardsmen) to take down the Necron Lord .

 

[Worldkiller]

There is one answer to all these questions: Alot.

 

[DeathJester921]

Over 9,000!!!
I kid. But seriously, I think it would take millions upon millions of IG. They would have help from a thousand psykers, but this particualr IG armies 1000 psykers got picked to be sacrificed to the emperor. So it sucks to be them.

 

[Smokes]

No psykers. Only unlimited amounts of the basic guardsman (Basic kits only. No special weapons) It would probably take millions. Like a bunch of ants trying to attack a Elephant.

 

[DeathJester921]

Well dude, its like I said. They're being sacrificed to the emperor.

 

[gen.ahab]

Well.... Tbh you wouldn't need an particularly high number of IG to take down a single bloodthirster. Yeah, they are scary shit... But what makes them such a huge threat is that they arn't alone but are usually accompanied by a horde of evil little buggers with big ass swords.

 

[popeyethesailor]

im pretty sure no amount of gaurds men would be able to take a blood thirster because theyd all just be like puking there brains out

 

[gen.ahab]

You may be thinking of the great unclean one.

 

[ClassyRaptor]

You may be thinking of the great unclean one.

Yer, just maybe.

It wouldnt take millions. 5000 constant las bolt being hurled at anything would totaly obliderate it.

 

[popeyethesailor]

well i just meant daemons in general really it doesnt have to be certain kinds to cause mere gaurdsmen to lose there mind and there bodys to react uncontrollably i just always pictured it as them falling to the ground puking there brains out

 

[Smokes]

Let's raise the stakes. 100 Bloodthirsters and 100 Great Unclean Ones vs. Unlimited amount of Guard. I'm guessing it would take somewhere in the millions.

 

[gen.ahab]

? Jesus Christ. They won't stop that.

 

[Baron Spikey]

There's no way you could put enough basically equipped guard in one place to stop that, the Daemons won't tire so they'd just roll over the army section by section.

 

[Smokes]

I figured that one sextillion (1,000 Trillion) las rounds would eventually defeat at least half of the daemons or cause some serious damage. Even if they are basically flashlights.

 

[gauntsghost025]

[sacrasm] Well, those flashlights will add up. That 'thirster will be so busy rolling dice for his armor saves he wont have time to attack. And every turn he can kill what, 5 guardsmen. Jeebus I hope he has a lot of dice. [/sarcasm]

No matter what you are or who you are, a thousand(I say a thousand cuz if there were a million most of them would be very far away and they are not that good at shooting) lasguns shooting and hitting you is going to case a lot of damage. Imagine a constant barrage of lasers over and over. Your dead in minutes.

 

[Baron Spikey]

But if they're are 100 Blood Thirsters those 1,000 lasguns aren't all going to be hitting the same target, no human is disciplined enough to ignore the other 99 avatars of death to just concentrate on 1.

 

[gauntsghost025]

How about a single Bloodthirster?

My answer was tailored to a single Bloodthirster. As for 100......how many guardsmen does the Imperium have....

 

[Smokes]

Unlimited. Use your imagination. Like a wave of One trillion guardsmen per minute in one giant blob of human waveness.
