Arbitrary numbers. Location == MY FIELD. A field. Just some grassland. Time is year 39.945 (given the FuckSardaukar make it that far).
I kinda know Space Marines would win, but -- how? And how would they mow down the thoat singing moobs?
Also, let's call it round 2: anoter 1337 guys on the side of the Sardaukar, from Krieg (the Death Korps). What then?
EDIT: I guess the Astartes would win, but now, round 3, it is ONE MILLION SARDAUKAR! Loaded question: Would the marines just wipe out everything?
Prey is a 2002 sci-fi thriller novel by Michael Crichton. In the story, the Xymos Corporation has built a state-of-the-art fabrication plant, surrounded by miles and miles of nothing but cactus and coyotes. Eight people are trapped. A self-replicating swarm of predatory molecules is rapidly evolving outside the plant. Massed together, the molecules form an intelligent organism that is anything but benign. More powerful by the hour, it has targeted the eight scientists as prey. They must stop the swarm before it is too late…
The novel describes the nanoparticle swarm as being “programmed as a predator” and humanity in the novel is the prey. (Source: https://www.michaelcrichton.com/works/prey/).
The swarm "evolve" from animalistic hunter-killers with one simple goal (survive) and are fooled like most intelligent but non-sapient animals to ultra-intelligent evil geniuses hellbent on world domination, hijacking several human hosts and rewiring their brains to serve - willingly or otherwise - the swarm's goals.
The nano-robots suffocate the victims by pouring in waves into every orifice until the victim suffocates, then they dissolve the bodies slowly into grey goo. When the swarms are removed, their victims are described as looking like they are dying from cancer, cadaverous, with brittle white hair, emaciated bodies, and translucent skin.
Regarding how the swarms were made, the construction process for the swarms involves E. coli bacteria (the techs wanted a thoroughly-documented bacterium to work with). The "wild" swarms therefore hunt down and kill animals in order to feed the bacteria within them as part of their reproductive process. A few swarms learn how to "benignly" invade a human body to use as a host and survive.
Crichton also wrote Jurassic Park, a sci-fi novel that became a movie in 1993 and spawned a franchise. The novel and movie revolve around a theme park that contains genetically engineered dinosaurs. The sequel, The Lost World (which was also made into a movie in 1997), sees Ian Malcolm, one of the main characters from the first book, going to Isla Sorna, another island where the dinosaurs were made, to rescue a friend, only to end up in a battle for survival.
For this battle, we will use the novel incarnations of both Isla Nublar and “Site B” on Isla Sorna.
Let us imagine that a gang of criminals learns of Jurassic Park’s existence and steals the nano-swarm, intending to weaponize it against John Hammond and shut his park down.
The swarm is released onto both Isla Sorna and Isla Nublar a couple hours before Dennis Nedry launches his plot to shut down the park’s security and steal the dinosaur embryos. Assume the human characters are still doing the Jurassic Park tour.
The human characters from the Jurassic Park novel now must fight to survive against hostile nano-robots in addition to the dinosaurs.
How long can the human characters from Jurassic Park survive? Can they escape the island without getting infected? How quickly can the nano-robots kill all the dinosaurs on both islands?

By "play streak" I'm referring to the idea that at least someone, somewhere has been playing it, and before that person was done with it, at least someone else started doing it instead, thus "taking over" the streak.
For example, when Star Wars first was released on VHS a few decades ago, and enough people purchased it, it's highly likely that at least one person has been watching Star Wars at any given point since then.
Or, since the time of its official launch, Minecraft has almost certainly been played by at least one person at any given point (but being a new game, that's of course not too long anyway).
Or, when Elvis Presley released some of his most popular songs, at least someone, somewhere has probably been playing them on their music player device.
But again, which movie, game or song has the longest streak?
It’s a bare knuckle street fight in some shady back alley.

Inspired by lonk's takes's could goku survive in analog horror and errorcode_9081's can doom guy survive analog horror,how about we put the space marines from Warhammer 40k against the analog horror and see if the they can survive.
