[edit] Other Factions?

What about when other alien races or Chaos does an "exterminatus" of a planet? Has it ever happened? Because it seems that they would have the power and disposition to do it, especially if the Imperium does it on a daily (sarcasm) basis.--Exander 01:29, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

I don't know of any canon examples of this happening. Obviously, the Tyranids and Necrons subsume planets in their own fashion, but I wouldn't call this exterminatus in the same way. Cheers --Pak21 09:53, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Your right. Well I guess the Eldar brought about the destruction of countless planets when they unwillingly opened the Warp in the physical universe. But that can be blamed on Chaos too. No matter.--Exander 01:30, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

The Tau at least have performed Exterminatus on at least one Ork-held world. It's mentioned in the first Tau Codex. SAMAS 02:14, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
