w40k: exterminatus anyone? ^^

Sidenote. sw and w40k may be about the same size, yet imp military vs imperial guard+ sororitas+astartes, collegia titanica, pdfmake no mistake, w40k is a universe and society built on war, the star wars galactic imperium isn't. there, you don't have the imperium beset on all sidesd from high numbers of enemies, fighting at every corner.

every planet offers guard regiments or has a sizeable armed forces, whereas the star wars imperium distributesforces of a certain pool among their citizens, they don't have hundreds of planets solely working for the military industrial complex, churning out regiments and wargear 24/7, 365/year

You basiccally have a higher % of the populus under arms in w40k, and that will even counter stuff like droids or jedi (order 66 anyone, that was only numbers vs individuals). You also have training advantages and experience advantage on w40k universe side, aside form material.

You will have more ships, more specialists, more men, more armored units and whatnot, weaponry does not even have to be mcuh "superior" as we see that stormtrooper armor is not the toughest, neither are the mass produced ships and whatnot.

star wars gal imp is, let's put it bluntly: no challenge. WRONG The Galactic Empire has more planet busting weapons (Infact the most common and weakest ship the ISD could do Exterminatus)that could cripple the entire IoM in one salvo, Sun Crusher anyone?

It was also stated that the Galactic Empire has a thing called Dark Troopers, and trust me not even Terminator armour could save the Spacemarine from this onslought. There is a reason why that most websites without WH40K/Star Wars wanking, concluded that Galactic Empire>>IoM.

DO NOT derail this further into a verus battle, read the OP and discuss the tech improvements of both races.
