Yes, in RPs at the moment we are going a little over the top and hopefully that should start to change as we do more. But to be fair it is actually mentioned in the apocalypse rules (5th edition, I'm on a low budget so haven't even seen 6th edition rules yet) that special characters are a pivotal point in the battle. Though they personally can't shift the combat like our characters do, it is done more through special abilities.

As for army sizes, well, army sizes will vary greatly depending on the situation. However the armies we were using a Thelician were to big I myself had an army that was a bit to big and a fleet that was far beyond normal peramiters. For your standard military campaign RP you'd have a few thousand if you're orks you might have up to ten thousand,not quite sure. But you won't be fielding millions of warriors in one army.
