That horse managed to drag the weakened body of the Dragon.

The Dragon is, at the least, sixty meters long.

The Emperor's horse is the most powerful character in 40k.

That's laem. Blue Whales are 90 meters long.

Blues whales > Dragon of Mars.

Hahaha, I lied, the Dragon is 90 meters.

Its main body is described as thirty meters, with its tail being twice that.

*****.

Also, the longest blue whales ever recorded were 33.6 and 33.3 meters long respectively.

Dick.

I hate Necrons in DoW. They're fantastically good. They rape the Guard in that game as easily as they do on the tabletop.

Speaking of which, I'm playing through Winter Assault right now. Totally forgot how amazing the first two Dawn of War games were.

That you went and google'd that just shows my dominion over you. haermm313

Well I knew no blue whale was 90 meters. That'd be over two hunded feet.

Killer whales are very sophisticated and effective predators. Thirty-two cetacean species have been recorded as killer whale prey, from examining either stomach contents, scarring on the prey's body, or feeding activity. Groups even attack larger cetaceans such as minke whales, gray whales, and rarely sperm whales or blue whales.[28][84][85][86]

Hunting large whales usually takes several hours. Killer whales generally choose to attack young or weak animals, instead. However, a group of five or more may attack a healthy adult. When hunting a young whale, a group chases it and its mother until they wear out. Eventually, they separate the pair and surround the calf, preventing it from surfacing to breathe, drowning it. Pods of female sperm whales sometimes protect themselves by forming a protective circle around their calves with their flukes facing outwards, using them to repel the attackers.[87] Rarely, large killer whale pods can overwhelm even adult female sperm whales. Adult bull sperm whales, which are large, powerful and aggressive when threatened, and fully grown adult blue whales, which are possibly too large to overwhelm, are not believed to be prey for killer whales.[88]

Other marine mammal prey species include nearly 20 species of seal, sea lion and fur seal. Walruses and sea otters are less frequently taken. Often, to avoid injury, killer whales disable their prey before killing and eating it. This may involve throwing it in the air, slapping it with their tails, ramming it, or breaching and landing on it.[89] Sea lions are killed by head-butting or after a stunning blow from a tail fluke. In the Aleutian Islands, a decline in sea otter populations in the 1990s was controversially attributed by some scientists to killer whale predation, although with no direct evidence.[90] The decline of sea otters followed a decline in harbour seal and Steller sea lion populations, the killer whale's preferred prey,[Note 1][92] which in turn may be substitutes for their original prey, now decimated by industrial whaling.[93][94][95]

In steeply banked beaches off Península Valdés, Argentina, and the Crozet Islands, killer whales feed on South American sea lions and southern elephant seals in shallow water, even beaching temporarily to grab prey before wriggling back to the sea. Beaching, usually fatal to cetaceans, is not an instinctive behavior, and can require years of practice for the young.[96]
Three killer whales swim along beside a large iceberg. Over 15 penguins stand on the berg; most of them are on the edge nearest the whales, and are looking towards them.
Killer whales swim by an iceberg with Adélie penguins in the Ross Sea, Antarctica. The Drygalski Ice Tongue is in the background.

"Wave-hunting" killer whales spy-hop to locate Weddell seals, crabeater seals and leopard seals resting on ice floes, and then swim in groups to create waves that wash over the floe. This washes the seal into the water, where other killer whales lie in wait.[97][98]

Killer whales have also been observed preying on terrestrial mammals, such as deer and moose swimming between islands off the northwest coast of North America.[91] Killer whale cannibalism has also been reported based on analysis of stomach contents, but this is likely to be the result of scavenging remains dumped by whalers.[99] One killer whale was also attacked by its companions after being shot.[28] Although resident killer whales have never been observed to eat other marine mammals, they occasionally harass and kill porpoises and seals for no apparent reason.

How fascinating.

Any animal which violently murders others, not out of necessity, or to eat or to survive, but just for the lulz, is automatically cool in my book. 👆

Most violent animals in order are humans-monkeys-dolphins/orcas. The most intelligent animals in order are humans-monkeys-dolphins/orcas. It's an interesting correlation, that the smarter animals are, the more malicious they get.

Humans, Monkeys and Dolphins are also the only animals that rape for pleasure as well.

You noobs need to familiarize yourselves with 6E.

Tyranids now have the strongest MC's in the game- Nidzilla with a Flyrant at it's head is feared by the populace.

4+ cover saves are only for ruins now. Standard cover is now a 5+ save.

Vehicle durability was universally nerfed, with transports getting shafted the hardest.

Mech spam is no longer viable because vehicles are all easier to kill and as well the game is more objective based, so you have to have lots of scoring units.

Skimmers and flyers now own the game. Footslogging is the new Fonzy.

Step your game up, you fewlz. This is 6E god damn it. We've entered the age of Chaos armies with Tau allies!

Cool, so fliers are the best shit now?

Well, fear not, just spam Vendetta gunships and auto-win the game!

Doomsythes are the best flyer in the game. Try harder.

So the higher the intelligence the higher the desire for rape and violence?

Kewl.

Indeed.

Lulz.

Einstein = sekrit sick ****.

Not sure it works exactly like that.
haermm

Dunno. Einstein's mustache was pretty villainous.

I wouldn't be surprised if he was a serial killer.

Doomscythes are not capable of transporting, don't come in squadrons, and I'm at least moderately sure are more expensive. And get shot the **** down by Hydra Flak Tanks.

At least Imperial Guard HAVE the sheer flexibility to throw anything at any situation.

I play Dark Angels, who are even more vanilla then the vanilla mehreenz, and the Sisters of Battle, who have only ONE actual moderately useful heavy support option.

Maybe it's just more intelligence leading to wider ranges of behavior. Smarter creatures aren't as locked in regarding survival strategies, so they have more divergence from instinct driven behavior. For every Dolphin that rescues a swimmer, you also get a couple of jerks.

Just thinking aloud, though.

what you cats are crazy the best flier has and always will be the Falcon

For every dolphin that rescues a swimmer there's one taking a swimmer to the back alleys?

This is why Dolphins need to die. Evil ****s with their clicks and flips.
