1- attempting to cherry pick lore really... especially funny given the offical SW lore line aka canon vs legends stormtroopers getting their arses whooped by stones and sticks is canon and he force funny, you base that on which force sensitive ewok?

and no stomrroopers were killed? I recall that differently from both the movie and the movie novel.

2. destroying a planet can be done by a frigate sized vessel in 40k, if you want total destruction of the planet, you go cyclonic torpedos, if you simply want to kill of all life, you use lifeeater.

a victory 2 star destroyer has 24 tie fighters and 1600 troops and a crew of 5800 (and the fighters only because it lacks sufficient point defense weaponry)

comparison:; the highness sir armaduke frigate carried the whole ghosts regiment, which encompassed several times that number into battle with their complete equipment, vehicles et cetera

and a frigate of f.e. gladfius class size has a crew of 26000

if we taker a more standard ship like an imperial cruiser, you get between 100000 and 150000 people

and sorry but if you talk f.e. laser weaponry, you are talking about weapons that engage with the speed of light. Which means that your "smaller vessel with higher mobility" becomes useless as it gets attacked with sth that travels at the speed of light, you can't really run from it and more mass etc of the 40k designs simply means more armour and more weapon mounted

i dunno where you got your number for the IoM from.. I merely know that it encompasses the galaxy, and has military on every developed world+ the guard and navy for overarching stuff. meaning you have the whole empire aimed at maintaning a huge army

which is not the case for star wars by any stretch of the imagination,

but hey tell us about the tens of thousands of PDF troops on every world in the SW imperium, tell us about all the military on each planet and the millions on campaigns deployed all across the galaxy

the imperium in star wars is far more fractured and has far less troops that the imperium of man

"That isn't true either. Their are sensors and a plethora of other things for targetting enemies." let me dumb it down for you: as long as your weapon does not have a ballistic curve, like f.e.mortar or a simple cannon, which means that it can fly in arcs over obstructions like a simple hill, you are stuck with waiting to engage the enemy until you have direct line of sight, all the laser cannons and blasters etc that are used in star wars require direct line of sight to engage the enemy, whereas the imperial guard simply sits back and drowns the opposing force in earthshaker shells

psyker powers will not work=? really you cannot propel a rock with telekinesis and make it hit some lousy stormtrooper? you cannot heat up air surrounding a stromtrooper and cook him in his armour? you cannot go into the minds of people and use fear etc?

whatever the couple of sith, jedi or force adeps in the SW universe do, you got millions of people capable of doing that in 40k....

this is getting awfully pathetic
