I never said they could compare. I said they were scary.

However, I personally don't think the Nids are scary at all. They feel like the Xenomorphs from Alien.

And, many CSM are not even close to as scary. Personally, I've always thought the whole "Wearing the skin of fallen enemies" is disgusting, not scary. Chaplains can be scary. Legion of the Damned are scary. Most CSM are scary. Not all CSM are scary, though. The Black Legion, for example. I see them like normal Marines like the Imperial Fists or Ultramarines but with more spikes.

Night Lords, the kings of terror, only feel like batman wannabe's. Their appearance is not scary at all, it's what they do.
