the IOM does nto build ships in a matter of centuries, it merely takes them years... there was f.e. this one feral planet where in a matter of decades they built a cruiser ^^

counter to 2: PDF, Officio Assasinorum  and the other forces. the Imperial guard is not really a garrisoned army but send into conflicts

counter to 3: you wanna come with single ships like eclipse and executor: okay: Phalanx, Watch Fortresses, Ramilies class starforts they do not make up the bulk of the empiral forces and I merely compared stuff where data was available, and there are loads more emperor battleships around

ciounter to 5: as there is simply no instance that watches over morale, what happens when they get cornered and the likes, training on both sides, yes but imp guard will fight harder

counter to 6: offensive against hoth, we saw them in aciton against their biggest threat at the time, compare that to f.e. a crusade

counter to 7: more energy will nto rly matter much as overkill will not increase performance

counter to 8: i merely showed what the gal imp used on average troops, compare that to planets which hold billions of people that can be conscripted or are trained and whatnot. the concept of a military industrial complex is galaxy spanning in 240k

counter to ftl: putting them in the same universe means putting the warp in there, as is also stated in wookiepedia f.e. ;)

1 jump and the chaos gods have brand new gal imp servants
