Physically wise, Astartes are powerful, but compare them with many other Sci-fi such as Section 8 and novel Mobile Infantry, they kind of fall short. And when I meant they fall short, I meant that they are kind of a weaksauce compared to them...which is ironic if you think about what WH40K is famous for... Exactly! I thought the astartes are a match to the Prometheans because everyone is going on about them being super powerful. Don't listen to WH40K fanboys or those who are bias, you would know you met one if they either say "WH40K is the most OP universe ever!" or "Nothing can beat WH40K" and somewhere between the line, of course not all WH40K fans are like this it is just unfortunate that it is usually those ignorant or bias that stand out the most.

To further put the nail in the coffin, it is widely agreed among multiple forums that WH40K is equal or even inferior than Star Wars. Don't get me wrong WH40K is a powerful universe, but it is FAR from being called overpowered. You know why? It is because of a thing called Balance, you don't want one WH40K faction being so powerful that they could smear the other races AKA destroying fluff, each have a weakness in them.
