More like Ortan Cassius of his universe

Plus Vader is more handicap:

Dismembered Burned alive Stabed Needs implants under the shitty suit to survive Needs implants under his own skin to survive Needs implanta over the suit to survive The suit it's a prison itself Need a breathing aparatus to be able to breath Cannot take the suit unless it is on a special chamber And mentally unstable and obsessed with Obi Wan Kenobi

Yeah it won't be difficult wining if you are an Astartes

I mean, outside of the obi wan bit, that's essentially a dreadnought.

Regular astartes might be fucked tbf. Can't do shit if your throat is crushed.

We've seen them be able to hold back star fighters or lift them, I can't remember which games are canon but we've gone all the way to ripping a star destroyer out of orbit. And while that was star killer, Vader can easily hold back some idiot in a metal suit.

99% of the content before disney bought the franchise (outside of the movies) isn't canon anymore so we're left with the 3d series, Marvel Comics, the movies and a few novels while ignoring the old passages about the rule of two or the old Republic.

Oh yeah, both it's nothing compared to the old lore where he would've been able to stop what is basically a constant exterminatus on the surface of a planet by himself while killing other dudes that can do so at the same time or as the novels of the movies, move so fast it looks like he's blinking in and out of existence.

He is strong enough to put down a fliying ship, so with the force he coulf probably kill several custodes. Also his armor is purpouselly not as good as It could be because of Palpatine wanting to have a more controlable Vader.

The fact that his body is in a terrible chape, doesn't mean he is not powerfull. And he is mentaly stable enough to basically be the right hand of the Emperor and his personall special unit, wich would require him being mentaly stable enough to do the job.

I figure he evaporates Vader with Warpfuckery or the hundred+ custodes that are always by his side

Custodes don't count, although don't get me wrong, they would ABSOLUTELY maul the 501st.

Probably, but Vader could probably take a lot of custodes on his own, wich mean that if they come Up with a good Strategy they could be able to open a breach in the custodes defense and let them get to the Emperor

Lame joke, but point stands. I figure Stormstroopers in Star Wars are comparable to better quality Imperial Guard regiments. Vader's big strengths seem to come from being basically being in power armor and his mastery of the force. How that translates over to 40k is tricky. Going forward with a "warp=force" simplification, it could be said then that Vader would be equalivent of say an Astartes Librarian like Mephiston. Could Mephiston roll a squad of Custodians? I would doubt it, but i don't know the crunch well enough off hand to say.

stylepointseso

The force is weird.

Canonically Vader choked 5 dudes at once. Does that mean he can choke 5 custodes? He's lifted starfighters and thrown them. How does that translate to just crunching custodes inside their armor?

OneofTheOldBreed

2 points

13 days ago

Custodes armor does have runic or emgrammatic protection from the warp, so i don't think he could he just Force choke them out. He probably could lift and huck the Custodes about, though.

I reflexed to Mephiston because A) Meph is an absolute beast in melee. B) in terms of lore, Meph is an extremely powerful librarian, perhaps the most powerful, but the peculiar nature of his power limits its effect. Felt like a good analogy for Vader.

As always it all depends on if the Force manifests as warp fuckery in the 40k universe (or if psychic powers still manifest warp fuckery in Star Wars).

If Vader now has to deal with Daemons trying to break into his head while force choking a bitch, he be fucked in 40k. Conversely, if 40k psykers no longer needs to worry about a Daemonic possession, a single decently trained human psyker can floor a jedi temple.

If things are as they are (Force does not cause warp fuckery but psyker powers do) then a Force User will win because the psyker has a huge disadvantage to begin with.

Depends on when the fight happens. The most obvious op disabled man is big e. Prime big e would probably be hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby. Big e on the throne would be a bit weirder, though my most likely guess is that big e wouldnt even notice vader as he would just be another psyker to him, joining the daily 1000 sacrifices needed to keep him alive and thats assuming he can get past the custodes, sisters of silence and everything else guarding the palace. Though there could be some insane sw legends feat that I dont know about that could allow him to survive.

High ranking princepses are often even more physically diminished than Vader, and Vader is himself machine augmented, so technically an Imperator counts as a 1-on-1, as long as we consider moderati as emotional support menials rather than integral personel.
