And let's not forget Imperial starships, you have big ships, but for every ship you have we have a bigger one. And furthermore, after some research I can oficcialy say that Power Armour is Hunter Armour, but without large weak poins and made out of eve harder materials...

I'm not saying the Covanent is weak, far from it... But against he Imperium? Bye bye... Uh Spacebattles concluded that SPARTANS are actually much more faster and more agile than a Spacemarine and strength wise their the same, the only reason why Space marines beat SPARTANS is due to durability and experience. Emperor help the Astartes if they are facing Linda.

Also Covies have the bigger ships, at 28km long Covie Super-Carrier has shields that could deflect a small moon, this puts it at triple-digit terratons bare minimum. Furthermore at full-power Covie Ships are easily at the high Terratons to Gigaton range...

Also astartes armor could be penetrated and damaged by M2-Brownings and even Lasguns... where we see an entire building collapse on a Hunter and all it did was piss it off. So I am not sure how Astartes armor is equivelant to armor that is made up of the same hulls as a friggin Star-ship. A Hunter is the equivelant of a Imperial Ogryn or Terminator, and the armor for a normal Astartes is not going to protect him against a Fuel-Rod Cannon.

The Imperium could stomp Covies, if they are acting retarded. But unfortunatley unlike the Tau, the Covies is insanley fast, much faster then Eldar. So that means the IoM could never catch up to a Covie Ship.

And just to let you know pound for pound Halo have the more stronger forces than WH40K, to give you a hint. Halo has one race that is around Star-Treck level (UNSC), one race that is near Star Wars/WH40K level (Covies), and four races that could Curbstomp both WH40K and Star Wars together (Forerunners, HSSA, Flood, Precursors).
