Can he clear?

@army2442: Which Imperial Guard Regiment?

He could lose at 1 or 2

I don't see him getting past necrons. 1 hit from gauss weapon would destroy his suit and he got no way to protect himself (not that i know of).

Which necrons are those btw, Warriors, Immortals, Destroyers, Deathmarks?

Stops at 3 or 4

Could stop at 3. Bolsters can tear through ceramite, but it depends if they can hit Tony. Not sure about the Necrons.

@granitesoldier: Necron gauss weaponry breaks the target at molecular level. So basically it shoots a magnetic beam that pulls its targets atoms into the gun. Does he have something to withstand that?

@raestlin86: Speed and counterfire.

None of these guys are going to phased by a guy in a flying suit

It's a matter of hitting him. He's a lot faster than most in 40k. I also don't know enough about Iron Man to know how strong his shields are. I'm commenting not as an Iron Man fan (in fact I don't like him at all) but as a 40k fan.

@darkgenex: Yeah, he does have speed advantage. Does he have a sufficiently powerful weaponry to win? Necrons are also very resilient to damage and reanimation protocols makes them even harder to put down.

@granitesoldier: it depends on his energy supply.

Depending on the Imperial Regiment but most of them crush Ironman so Round One

Does it fluctuate based on suit? I heard his current armor is pretty damn powerful.

@granitesoldier: yeah

I'm gonna give Iron Man the benefit of the doubt here and say he loses at 3.

Lol, either people are trolling or they don't know jack about Iron Man.

Easily clears with Bleeding Edge armor, I doubt Warhammer weapons will get through the energy shield, forget about the actual armor. If they hit him at all that is.

In fact, it's a class 100+. IIRC Bleeding edge went Mach 9.

Bump.

Man everybody is passing on Round one when a regiment is around trillions of guards and billions of heavies for example the Death Korps have 50 million fresh guards every year

I'm pretty sure if the entire guards point their bolters up the skies they'll hit ironman even sacrificing millions of guards

This is ridiculous. Extremis Iron Man's shields could stop a nuclear weapon cold at 2% power. A Bolter won't even scratch the paint.

Round 1: Imperial guard regiments are usually only around 5,000 soldiers in the IG. The Death Korps are not one huge regiment! They are numerous regiments all coming from the same planet! Ironman would not be facing millions of Death Korps, he would be facing a single regiment.

The Imperial Guard could not stop Ironman without super plot fiat.

Round 2: Unless said Storm Troopers are all packing Plasma guns, not going to happen. Even with plasma guns, I doubt it as Ironman can easily avoid them.

For those who do not know, getting shot by a plasma bolt is like getting hit by a tiny sun (in terms of temperature).

Round 3: Space Marines will have faster reaction times and will be able to peg Ironman if he comes into their range. They are aimbots on steriods unless we are taking video game examples which are super lower end. But I highly, highly doubt bolters will pierce Ironman's suit unless it is the adamantium filled bolters if not pierce, would bang it up really good.

That said, if they have a Grav-Gun, they kill Ironman. It would cause Ironmans suit to collapse in on him, crushing him. So, if they have a Grav-Gun, Tony stops at Round 3.

Round 4: Assuming there is no trolling by saying it is in the Eye of Terror, Ironman passes this. Chaos Space Marines, while being better then Space Marines due ot experience and demonic empowerment, still face similar problems, but they can't pact a Grav-Gun. Lesser daemons tells me nothing. Only Tzeentchian flamers and horrors are ranged, so other daemons won't do squat. Ironman's suit is self-contained, so he won't have to fear diseases from Plaguebearers.

Since they are out of the warp, extreme physical damage will cause the daemons to destabilizes, even if he can't achieve that, he can out wait them.

Round 5: Very good chance Ironman will be stopping here. Necron Gauss weaponry isn't something that Ironman is going to be able to dodge once fired. It will tear his suit apart, molecule by molecule.

He can still win if he uses his speed and really lays down the dakka as soon as possible.

Round 6: Tony is too fast for a Imperial Knight. That said, he better make sure he avoids whatever weaponry it is packing like the Lascannon. It will take him time to get through the void shields, but it is doable. This is easier then Round 5 because of his speed.

Round 7: Depends on the Bloodthirster. Taking lowest showings, Tony may be able to out run it until it is forced back into the warp. Normal to high showings... tony gets snapped like a kitkat bar. Killing hundreds of Space Marines in a few swipes is what some named Bloodthirsters can do. Going toe to toe with the greatest swordsmen among the Primarchs... and winning is something Bloodthirsters can do.

He stops here.

Round 8: Hell no. Tony will not be able to hurt the Emperor due to it's massive void shields. While I doubt the Emperor could hit Tony as he is a really fast flying gnat, he won't be doing much to the Emperor. Soon or later, his power will run out and the Emperor will kill him.

Summary: Stops at round 3 if Space Marines get Grav-Guns. Maybe stops at round 5. Does not get past round 7.

stops at 3 if not 4 for sure but this ofc also depends on whom the op is allowing for chaos wise.

@killerwasp: It would be a little funny if he was like: Surprise! One of those Chaos Space Marines is actually Ahriman who believes Ironman has an artifact of super secret awesome!

@wut: Ahriman in an Iron Man suit? Not a nice thought.

@strider92: It would be utterly terrifying. Ahriman can already fight with the Great Harlequin and Shadow Seers without his armor, but if he had the added speed and mobility of the Ironman suit coupled with his incredible pre-cog? He would be a force to be reckoned with able to stay out of the reach of most of his enemies while laying down the psyker dakka.

@wut: But before that Trazyn the Infinite (hes collection needs some improving) comes and steals the suit from under Ahrimans nose (with a little help from Orikan the Diviner) :)

Possibly stops at 3.

@raestlin86: He better steal it from under his nose. If Ahriman catches him, Trazyn is going to be very grateful that he can take over other Necron's bodies.

@wut: He might be able to pull it of. He might even have a primarch in his collection, but it has not been confirmed :O

@raestlin86: Rumors and speculation on Primarchs, in lore and out of lore, is a dime a dozen. We also don't know how, if he even did, acquired said primarch.

I respect Necrons, a lot. One was able to shatter a planet... by hitting it.

But nothing Trazyn has ever done has made him the level of Ahriman, to my knowledge.

Iron Man is powerful, but some things here will give him trouble. he has the potential to clear, and some things would wreck him. depends.

@wut: Do you refer to Eden Prime?

@raestlin86: Nah, it was back in the War in Heaven back when the Nercons made weapons so terrifying they destroyed them because they were breaking the rules of reality.

Phaeron Ahmontekh

The Crimson Scythe , The Star-Slayer

Phaeron Ahmontekh, called in ages past the Crimson Scythe for the blood in which he drenched the sector, is the once and future king of the Suhbekhar Dynasty. The Phaeron was at one time counted amongst the most puissant of warriors and his name was feared across countless thousands of worlds. He fought at the side of the C’tan themselves, and is said to have once struck a blow that slew a god. He bore a warscythe of such potency that it is said to have shattered the planet Maldek into a billion chunks of rock in a single blow, an event which several of the Eldar’s mystic cycle- singers make reference to many aeons later.

-Deathwatch RPG: The Outer Reach pg. 114

@wut: Trazyn actually does have a pretty impressive feat, possessing the preserved head of Sebastian Thor, one of the High Lords of Terra. Who knows what else he can do if he can steal something like that.

@raestlin86: Ahriman has broken into the Webways... Twice. The first time he was stopped by the Great Harlequin. The second time it took Eldrad and entire Eldar Host to stop him.

I don't know much about Star Wars, but I do iron man has incredibly advanced technopathy. Couldn't he just disarm their weapons before they can shoot? I say he clears.

@proto3296: This... isn't star wars....

@wut: Yeah, Ahriman is very determined to find the Black Library. But Necrons got a limited access to webways too and that was the main reason why they defeated Old Ones ( with help from C'tan).

But to return back to topic, I would say that Tony would have extreme difficulties to get past Necrons.

@wut: lol then what is this?

@proto3296: Warhammer 40k.

@wut: I thought it was a branch off of star wars?

@proto3296: Not even close.

@wut: I'll stop posting... Lol

@proto3296: If you were curious: http://1d4chan.org/wiki/Warhammer_40,000

Don't use any information on there in a debate as it is a wiki, but it describes the universe in a funny, but accurate, way.

I believe that was when he had the energy that powered from Mjolnir through an Asgardian crystal and that was Thor Buster Iron man at his max, not regular Iron man. Normal Iron would probably stop at round 3 if the Ultramarine have the right weapons and equipment. Necrons beat as they would rip him apart molecule by molecule. Tony definitely would be able to stop an Emperor titan as it can lay waste to entire continents and has void shields that can shrug off similar firepower.

I'm really not sure why an Imperial Guard regiment is the first round in this gauntlet because a single regiment is huge and would have millions if not billions of guardsmen as well as Stormtroopers, Baneblades, titans, etc.

So really this should be the finale round instead of the first round.

stops at 3 I'd say, space marines are thought
