"The Larger the battle, the more Daemons will appear, And since we seem to be using fluff power levels aka. 1 Space Marine > 60+ guardsmen at once, and since lesser Daemons are about a quarter of an Astartes (as far as I can tell) the Daemon count may increase rapidly after huge battles, you will have to think before letting all your men die, it will just feed us! Although battles between Tau and Necrons will drastically reduce the incoming Daemons, as they have little to no connection to the Warp and so the Bloodletters will not be able to sense much.And Shas, you seem to know quite a bit about 40k troops, would you say a singe tactical marine equals about 3 Bloodletters or more?"

A Daemon is pretty close in power to a marine against normal Guardsmen, simply because looking at one causes you to go absolutely insane. I would say a single 10 man tac squad would be the equivalent of 4-5 Bloodletters, unless the marines are veterans.

Saiyan's and Reinno's numbers are much better.

Imperial forces generally don't have many orbital defences unless its a fortified system e.g. the Ultramar system. Since this is a remote ice world, the best you can probably muster is one or two space stations which would be more similar to fortified dockyards. However, you should be able to get a decent amount of ground anti-orbital weapons, which are far more common.

At least I still have superweapons saved from the Thelican campaign...
