>steven universe fans on the way to make everything about themselves.jaypeg
Yes
Killt by the Imperium in pretty much any circumstance I can imagine
Looted by orks as shiny gubbins
Depending on whether they possess something constituting souls Dark Eldar and Chaos might seek to use them to their own ends rather than just killing them
Could possibly be allied with or integrated into Eldar or Tau societies
Necrons and Nids kill them out of habit despite not really occupying competing niches
>integrated to Eldar societies
Lol. Lmao.
Making the mother of all clusters, a planet sized chandelier made out an entire race synchronized in perfect agony
Nah, Eldar would see them as parasites no different from the Nids or Orks as they kill a whole planet to make their colonies, dark Eldar would laugh at the idea of an entire race that you can toy with in their Dormant state, I don't even think the horrors they would unleash if they toy with the gems solid light projection technology
They do compete with nids, nids drain the life from worlds, gems drain the life from worlds. A world taken over by gems cannot be eaten by nids.
"integrated" into Eldar or Tau societies
the tyranids would be in a war for biomass against the gems (because apparently the gems need to consume life from other worlds for reasons I don't quite understand)
gems use the life energy of planets to create new gems and seemingly as a power source for their homeworlds
the kindergarden is a wasteland because they used up all the life energy in the area raising new soldiers to fight the crystal gems
>(because apparently the gems need to consume life from other worlds for reasons I don't quite understand)
They need the rich energy in microbial life to start the sentience part as well as the minerals in the soil to form the gem itself and the more it gets of both the better the gem will be. Which is why the little green dorito is so stunted, she didn't get the sweet yummy planet milk or the gristle
>she didn't get the sweet yummy planet milk or the gristle
Tyranids want to know your location.
>Looted by orks as shiny gubbins
Peridot could pretend to be an ork, it wouldn't be something strange considering that there are humans who live with orks.
>peridot: GAHH! I AM AN ORK, I AM GREEN, I AM STRONG!! GAHH!
>ork: I like the new guy, let him stay with us.
>peridot: Nyehehehe... clods.
She'd just be viewed as a Gretchin and then it'd come down to if a bigger ork to a shine to her to keep her "safe". Though maybe her doing her magnetism shit will make em think she's a weirdboy
Maybe she will become the new leader of the Gretchin Revolution.
Orks would wipe them out.
Wouldn't the Orc's obsession with the color red amp the gems since their main group unites are Rubies.
It would make the Rubies faster, but Orks believe in one thing above all
>ORKS IZ DA BEST
orks bypass amethyst cause she purple
>bismuth and vulkan together
Would all the primarchs just get different Gem girlfriends?
goddamn you made me ship gulliman with more xenos girls i always think he was secrectly a xenophile
Maybe he was the xeno all along.

Gems would be great agienst tyranids.

>Set temperatures to 2000°, that should deal with it.
homie, plenty of nids shoot balls of goo out of their asses that are hotter than that
plus not all gems are heat/fireproof. garnet specifically stated amethyst and pearl can't swim through lava like she can.
which priemarch would get a xeno gf in other franchise
>Have a containment board for your paypig goyslop

A lot of 2000 AD writers and artist were moonlighting for Games Workshop back in the day.

Lol, lmao even
>EYE
You are a genuine fricking moron.
So... how is that WH40k show for Amazon going? any news from Henry Cavil or Amazon?
The only races that don't outright destroy them on sight are the Tyranids and the Tau
The nids don't bother with them because lol no biomass and the Tau are diplomats first buttholes later
They lose badly to all of them though, even the ones that don't engage them, if the Tau see them as a lost cause they are going to face siege of such volume all their colonies would collapse and the nids would not bother with them unless confronted, however for the sake of a thought exercise if they fought I could see a lictor destroying all their commanders gems without even needing to commit biomass to an assault
Gems are kinda bad, too complacent and too dependant on their chain of command to see through large scale wars despite technically having strong individuals
Gems can literally die by real life guns.
>shoot the exposed gem
>kills it
Simple.
Well, that all depends on how you want to incorporate them. If they just popped in out of the blue they'd get torn apart on sight. But if they are like the crystal gems were and had been a part of human development from the very start I imagine they'd fare much better. Possibly being incorporated into their society since the humans would have had them from the start. Though the whole of mankind would be entirely different it it developed with gems alongside them.
A reminder that Superman solos Warhshit 40k verse
Universe filled with magic and psykers that make Domesday look like a happy meal toy, yeah ok buddy
superman is weak against magic and here we use a lot of magic.
superman isn't weak against magic, he just doesn't resist it
>he just doesn't resist it
that is being weak against magic.
It is like saying that "paper is not weak against water, it simply does not resist it"
weakness implies worse than a normal person
superman is just less resistant to magic than he is to other forms of damage but he can still usually tank magic fireballs when a normal human would be toast
his lack of special resistance to magic is brought up as a reason why captain marvel is an effective counter to him
but he still lasts more than a minute against him, which is 59 seconds longer than a human would
Nah, Superman could frick shit up but he'd ultimately get screwed over by some magic, psyker, or chaos frickery
Or a combination of the three if tzeentch/slaanesh is involved
Superman super senses would make him extremely vulnerable to chaos in general he is able to sense all lifeforms of a planet as if they were connected in some versions picture what the hell would a chaos invasion do to him on just the sensory overload department, even outside of his lack of magic resistance and precedents of being mind controlled
alien x blinks the verse
>Super Hearing
Slaneesh Space Marine: YES! AMPLIFY! SCREAM TO BE HEARD!
Pearl is for rape
I could see the Eldar attempting to manipulate them against the Tyranids as they are basically discount Necrons,
Also if some of the factions realized what their FTL tech actually was it could crack the entire setting right open.
But seeing as this is 40k they would likely get squashed immediately due to some bullshit and that tech would be lost with them.
Slaanesh thinks they taste like sugar free Eldar souls.
>conditional immortality
>regenerates everything
If they could find a way to remove the "poof" factor, the Dark Eldar would become huge fans of the Gems.
But would torturing gems even do anything for Dark Eldar?
Amuse them
Do you think they need a reason?
Like the others said, if nothing else it's not like they WOULDN'T take an opportunity to torture something
Pain is pain, mate.
Just because something doesn't bleed doesn't mean it won't scream.
Of course not, they don't have souls.
Torturing a gem would probably be as much of use for deldar as torturing a necron.
Sure. They'd probably do that gem mashing abomination shit for a giggle
Well, because gems were created by Sugar for the openly expressed purpose of introducing children to sex, they'd be worshipping Slanesh.
Fusion is sex, dancing if foreplay, this is a horrifically degenerate show.
You're moronic
Don’t be silly anon.

Poorly
Everyone in this thread is forgetting that the gems are literally intergalactic and possess a warp system that doesn’t use the warp itself
They’re basically intergalactic necrons, and nobody in 40k can fly the galactic void
Until warpBlack folk find a way into it, which they constantly do
Their best bet would be to join up with the Tau and combine resources. So much of gem society is dedicated to opulence that they'd have a hard time fighting anyone on their own with so many gems not designed for combat. Also their reproduction is way too resource intensive to be effect in 40k
Gems seem pretty impressive on paper, immortal, durable, hyper-advanced tech, FTL travel fast enough to move between galaxies in just hours tops
BUT, they're completely ill equipped to deal with unfamiliar threats and new concepts. Recall that Lars became a massive thorn in their side on the merit he's an organic lifeform and their technology couldn't detect him. they all excel at the very specific niche they find themselves in, and any upset to that balance throws them into confusion and frustration. It's like all of them have autism, and anything outside their 'programming' just confounds them.
They are capable of learning and changing, but they're generally slow to do so at best and resilient to it at worst. They could be good contenders but they don't have the psychology for it.
Yeah, I can’t imagine they’ll have a fun time dealing with Daemons, or wrapping their heads around Necrons and Orks.
It's "fare"
I'm imagining tyranids eating gems and getting powerups like the final boss fight in Spyro 2
Which gems would be loyalists and which traitors?
Relative to their own empire having a Horus Heresy event (which I guess the Rose Rebellion kinda answers that) or if they were Big E's daughters and they were in 40k with those events going on?
>How would the Gems fair in 40k?
well BIG G and his sons are more willing to work with xenos, as long as they are willing to submit to humanity's empire or in a temporary alliance against a superior enemy.
They'd make lovely israeliteelry in some High Lord's outfit.
Poorly. Ironically, the Tyranids would leave em alone but just about evetyone else would frick em up in a ground fight. Gems might have a good edge in space tech due to their ftl travel so they can get around faster but they get screwed in the actual fight part.
Another problem is that their entire infrastructure in super tied to the diamonds to the point that just one of em "dying" led to a millennia long depression and future gems being nerfed. Unlike Big E, their defenses arent going to keep the Diamonds safe, especially since their local surveillance is for spotting other gem lifeforms. All the Imperium would have to do is send someone from the Officio Assassinorum and they could shut down the entire gem race pretty quickly
For a moment I thought that was Laios from Dungeon Meshi kek
Okay in all seriousness:
The Necrons have better tech than the Gem Empire.
It’s worth noting that the empire was on the decline by the time of the show. There could be a variety of reasons for this stagnation that we never got to see do to focusing on beach episodes but I can see it as an issue of having an eternal leader.
A single sole individual who, after all that time, simply can’t expanding their mind out of what they already know. There’s no new leadership, no fresh ideas, just a perpetual status quo.
That’s fine for, say, Nurgle- but not so much an empire of technology.
They seems to rely on big guns, at least at some point in time, as opposed to rank and file.
Ironically with their reliance on melee they’d do wonderful on the tabletop.
>It’s worth noting that the empire was on the decline by the time of the show. There could be a variety of reasons for this stagnation that we never got to see do to focusing on beach episodes but I can see it as an issue of having an eternal leader.
It actually was the colonization and rebellion that screw the gem empire. You see, they invested a lot of resources into getting it set up only for that to fall through and then waging a war to try and get it back. It was meant to be a vital hub for future expansion so they really put a lot into it. And when Pink got fussy and the war broke out, resources that were probably kept in reserve for emergencies were used to fund the war to get the colony back under control. Basically they nearly bankrupted themselves on on singular project.
Ah, so colonization was a failed venture to revitalize the empire and it ended up making their situation even worse with a failed civil war.
>Ah, so colonization was a failed venture to revitalize the empire
...eh more like they put to many eggs in the basket and then threw in the rest to try and keep it from toppling over.
>a chimp-out on one minor planet was enough to frick up the entire galactic empire
Talk about a fragile system
Well a world getting fuzzy in 40k gave us the Krieg, the gems just handled it pretty poorly
