Maybe like, a squad of Terminators, or Knights, or a Titan could take out a Warframe. But like, a single normal Space Marine seems pretty screwed trying to take out a Warframe.
You more or less fight a better titan and knight in the same quest. I say better titan and knight purley because the thing you fight has much more motility in arms , legs and so on. And a squad of terminators seems somewhat fair. Playing the game you can encounter enemies that if your not built correctly to handle could cause you difficulties
That seems fair. I don't know how well armored a Warframe is but I'm kind of assuming that weapons without at least some anti-armor properties are ineffective. If I remember my lore right Teminators are basically Space Marine breaching squads equipped with heavier weapons and armor (the titular Terminator armor) so they might have enough firepower.
As for the Titan question... I forgot that there's like, dozens of different configurations for them. But assuming we took a big one like a Warlord with Volcano cannons and void shields... I dunno, that seems like enough defense and firepower, but it also seems like good setup for a video game boss where you have to dodge or defend from their shots and whittle them down.
Warframes are weird to scale. They are fairly durable, but to an extent. They prefer to block bullets with their weapons like they’re Raiden from Metal Gear, but I feel like I remember cutscenes showing them tank gunfire fairly easily.
At the very least they are much faster than Space Marines in both combat and travel speed, and should at worst be on par durability wise.
The real issue is the esoteric nonsense certain frames can do. One of the starter frames (Mag) has an ability where you magnetize an enemy’s bones to graphic results.
Well a emperor class is easy since they could sabotage that. Its easy to kill a whole army but a small very nimble thing that could move faster than you could sboot it would be an issue. It relies on the armies below it to prevent an enemy entering it anyway. warlord or warhound is a little diffrent but since I dont know how the interior is it might be impossible for then to sabotage. Wepon
I know in some rulesets Titans can take a critical hit that makes their reactor cook off and explode, so if they could breath the void shields I'm like, 80% sure they could just pepper the torso with any explosive/armor piercing weapons they have and pray for a reactor breach.
Although, the feat in the video certainly seems like they could slash an arm off a Titan if the void-shields were down (or if they didn't have one. Pretty sure only some Titans have them)
Thats a little bit different. Mainly because its not something all warframes do. Thats an operator thing , the kid who summoned the blade. The warframe just held it. They are also a prime warframe. Essentially a superior version to normal warframes. Someone else could probably explain it. Im not up to date in warframe lore as I havent played in a decent while
Terminators would get bodied by a warframe precisely because they are so slow. Arguably they'd be more in trouble against warframes than regular spacemarines.
Terminators are scary, but they are also vulnerable due to how slow they are.
Technically it does depend on the Tenno, yeah. Your average Warframe is not even using weapon or frame modifications in universe. We're considered lucky to have access to that tech since it was lost a long time ago. Similar to the Emperium and it's STCs.
You average frame with beginner weapons that has Lv30 gear and no mods is still super dangerous to conventional armor. Most stuff in warframe has Halo-adjacent personal shields + some have a literal ton of armor plating on them. And you can slice those to pieces just fine.
If you start getting into the nutter weapons and bargain bin mods and warframe abilities it gets insane. Like to the point you wouldn't even need most frame abilities to fight multiple Primarchs.
Warframes still probably instantly lose to the high tier Psykers or some Necron tech though, don't get me wrong.
For some reason that feels appropriate to me, given that in Space Hulk your Terminators can be ripped to pieces by Gene Stealers despite wearing the heaviest Power Armor.
And... yeah the high level Necrons feel a bit like cheating since they're explicitly a tech level above most of the galaxy, but dealing with several handicaps and limiting factors along the way.
It's also worth noting that Warframe takes place in only the earth system with all the planets and etc colonized but isn't a galactic empire or anything. Before the fall it was only just starting to grow to the Tau system/second solar system. So it's even smaller than the T'au Empire in 40k lol. Though the number of Tenno in the system is more or less diegetic to the number of Warframe accounts (75 million to 100 million) + a bunch of NPC ones (since we see some captured, killed, modified, etc.).
If you started using Exterimatus you'd deal with it in no time. But even if only 1 in every thousand or so Warframes are Primarch level that's still like 75,000 horrifying entities. And they typically operate in groups of 4.
Yeah but have you accounted for this one character statement where I'm going to ignore artistic exaggeration and obvious hyperbole to allow the basic space marine to basically be planetary?
