Given how the Eye of Terror, in general, is a big **** you to reality, I don't see how the GE could reliably go about blowing it up, especially when the Chaos Gods could probably just undo or stop anything the GE tries.
That said, the GE has no means of combating warp traveling fleets. Have fun with completely superior naval fleets popping up out of nowhere to wreck your starships. And the fact that the Chaos Gods can throw any random warp storm at the GE like they did to Caliban.
Oh, and and fyi, it would be in the GE's best interests not to blow up Terra, seeing as how the Emperor is the only thing stopping Chaos from completely flooding the entire galaxy.

Also, Galaxy Gun. Any Chaos ships that pop out of the warp and attack an Imperial ships is going to get blasted apart by a ship that can turn planets into dust from the other side of the Galaxy.

Considering that, from what I've seen, 40k can generally mop the floor with GE fleets, it surely is when a Chaos fleet pops out above a planet.
The Galaxy Gun instantly knows where everything is at all times? Also, The Chaos Gods destroy it with a random warpstorm.
Imagine the entire Galaxy turning into the Eye of Terror. It would essentially create an auto-win for Chaos, seeing as how at that point, literally nothing Star Wars could do would create any lasting damage.
Originally posted by FinalAnswerWell for one, what you've seen are WH40K fans who don't know anything about WH40K fluff, and people who don't know anything about Star Wars. For the other, that's just not true.

By all means though, provide some sources that explain WH40K ships destructive powers.
The Galaxy Gun instantly knows where everything is at all times?Well you see, unlike WH40K technology, Star Wars communication technology is instantaneous, even over the range of the entire galaxy itself. So yes, as soon as a Chaos fleet "pops up over an Imperial world", the Galaxy Gun will know where that fleet is.
Also, The Chaos Gods destroy it with a random warpstorm.Warpstorms are too slow to catch an Imperial Ship. They're dangerous to WH40K ships because WH40K ships move too slow outside of the warp to escape, and while in the warp... it's self explanatory. Not so with Star Wars tech, though. It takes 10 seconds to make a hyperspace jump, and it doesn't have anything to do with the warp.

I recall reading somewhere that the higher up 40k ships had continent busting capabilities. Take Lances, for example. They can pretty much tear right through the armor of 40k ships was if they weren't there. Or Nova cannons, which I think Shane said make shit like the Tsar Bomba look like a firecracker in comparison. Also, what is the range and speed of, say, a Star Destroyer?
That's stupid. But kay.
Uh, in the case of Caliban, it wasn't really that slow, as soon as the Chaos Gods started raging, a warp storm showed up and demolished the planet. But, even if the Galaxy Gun keeps jumping, the Chaos Gods can just keep spamming warp storms wherever it shows up, essentially keeping it from doing anything anyway.
In one of the codexes I think, maybe the 5th Edition Rulebook, which I don't have. Will ask.

edit- I remember the statement about chaos invading the galaxy. I don't remember it saying anything about the galaxy being like the eye of terror.

I do believe it's implied The Storm of the Emperor's Wrath appeared fairly quickly, given how it completely wiped out the entire fleet during warp travel (Lol)
Given how the death of such an immense psychic being, coupled with the unleashing of dat broken webway the Emprah was building...yeah. At the very least, it would make Chaos an unstoppable force that would be forever pushing outward.
Also, Shane told me to ask you how was the Galaxy Gun destroyed?
I am going to post this excerpt for FA's benefit since he can't.
"If the Emperor fails then the Daemons of Chaos will flood into the galaxy. Every living human will become a gateway for the destruction of Mankind and the stuff of Warpspace will submerge the galaxy. There will be no physical matter. No space. No time. Only Chaos.
From page 101 of the 5e rulebook.
So yeah, entire galaxy becomes one big happy Eye of Terror.
