Any species outside of the 40kverse.
I know about species like the Forerunner, the Slaan, the Rak Empire in Star Wars, but lets try to think of a race that is alive and kicking at the moment in the series.
Well crap this is hard. I don't really know that many space empires/gov/etc. But I think it would be better to write a list of what can't compete with warhammer.
Halo-Nope while it is getting better right now with tech from forerunners and the Cov. It still is nowhere near WH and the spartans are a cheaper version of the space marines. Fun fact: Spartans and Space marines both stand at around 7-8 feet tall.
United states colonial marines-Nope, these guys are built so that they could be killed be the Xenomorphs which is nothing compared to the Tyranids.
Stargate-Nope, while it does include Multiple galaxies (which is new) most if not all the militaries are as stupid as hell and got screwed over in one way or another by the Alterans.
Star wars-Nope, while jedi could be a massive help (10,000 jedi during the clone wars) and the clones being extemely effective and having better transportation and communication (Traveling by warp is very dangerous) they just don't have the sheer size as warhammer. I mean hell I'd like to see if the clones could beat the death korps of krieg (German WW1 badasses but *raises hand* in the future)
Mass effect-....HAHAHAHA NOPE, their is no diversity in that franchise. With the reapers making sure that no one advances to far and the fact that laser= no mass against shields which only guard aginst slugs/weapons with mass. Means that they are screwed, plus the fact that the Citadel makes sure that no one has to big of a military (*shakes head at the stupidity of the council) they are ******. Biotics vs Psyker is laughable.
Starcraft- Well this one is closer which may be due to having inspiration from WH. The average Guardsman wouldn't be able to stand up to a marine and the Psykers would beat the ghost/spectre. I think that Starcraft could stand a chance...in about 1,000 years.
Honestly I think the series that would have the best Potential against warhammer would either be star wars during their prime and a little series I found called Cthulhutech which as described as Evangelion+H.P. Lovecraft+Robotech+Guyver+Akria+Warhammer 40k.
