As someone who had already participated in this kind of RP, I have to say that the One-Player army rp is not balanced. I mean sure! At first it sounds good, but it gets repetitive when you continue. But lets get to the main reasons why this kind of Rp is unbalanced:

1. Robotic characters - The problem is that they are all controlled by the same person, meaning that they all will be 100%  loyal to their faction and will never betray none of their own(what kind of player will put a stick in his own wheel, right?). These characters often doen't have personalities since the players doesn't even bother to give them some, and thus, the characters have no personal goals either(all they need is a cold-blooded leaders, nothing else) which makes them very boring and predictable.

2. Army's situation - How much ammunition is left for the soldiers and the vehicles if we will assault an enemy position? How much promethium will be spend if my forces will move from one place to another? what is the morale of my army? How many are dead and wounded? No one asks those questions since no one thinks that they are importent.

3. Battlefield - Is it day/night? Where exactly the battle happens? Is it in jungle? desert? City? And how does it effect both of the armies? What about gravity? Is this importent? Besides all that, you need to think about tactics and strategies. How to properly use your army in this field? Is your army is trained to fight in this area?

And some other impotent elements... that's why I prefer one character rp. But I got an idea how to make this rp better and balanced. If we were to take rolls from both sides. Like if some of us to play some chaos marines of the world eaters and the other group would play the rolls of the officers of the regiment. That would make the rp much more interesting!

of course... all this is just my opinion... like I said before... do what you feel is right
