I concede on that point.

They have no ground units approaching anything like kilotons (Titans throw around tens of megatons at the high end) and their starships are throwing gigatons versus 40K's tera/petatons.

The Terrans might be able to adapt in time if it captures tech but until then it needs a numerical advantage of ten to one at least to match 40K yields in space.
