why bother in an exchangte when you can outmaneuver and conquer your opposition?

1. superiority in weapons and numbers+ being ahead in tech and military, industry and manpower, will simply yield favors in w40k Imps favor... (aside from constant training and expertise) ^^

name factions of the Gal Empire that have such an experienced military-industrial complex as the w40k imp,,,

2. SW GE is far less unified than w40k gal imp, simply because

a) the size

b) no real outer threat to unite them in opposition to w40k Imp that has to face enormous threats at every corner.

next argument: Fleets: w40k ships in general have, for corresponding classes, ~ 10 times more crew and are far larger, which also means they house bigger weaponry as there is f.e. more space to put bigger generators or bigger projectile weapons on the ships, and you have far more potential fighters for boarding maneuvers.

sidenote: as to blaster vs lasgung: it is merely a numbers advantage thing, the blaster might offer more energy on the target, yet imp will have fewer, less trained soldiers and the blasters do not pierce the target, you cannot kill the same target thrice. thus imp guard will be more than enough (aside from imp guard having more close combat prowess and so on, aside from not fielding as many massive armored units and other stuff.

If SW Imp had Exterminatus weaponry on a simple "star destroyer", which is not the case, then they would not have made such a big deal about the death star being able to destroy a planet in the first place, duh... (and sun crusher also onoly being a single ship vs the potential of a single battle barg with cyclonic torps or lifeeater or or or... sry bro, little chance

if they wanted to extinguish any race, which has happened to some in SW, they would have obliberated the homeworlds, which has not really happened.

and they, with palpatine and so on, having little problems with running down rebels with little care for collateral damage.

as for palpatine vs empy... yeah you see palpatine using the force on a galactic lvl.. sry dude no chance, in w40k he might be a good psyker but nothing of the magnitude of empy ^^

your dark troopers have 2 simple problems, they are called mp and stasis grenades, aside from having lower reflexes and so on on the wielders... I always seem to forget (Dang it why can't I edit my post! perhaps I need to log in -_-) the GE less unified than the IoM? No offence but that statement was pretty biased, in all honesty it would be the IoM that would be as fragmented as a destroyed watermelon. Why I ask? Because the fact of first of all distrust between astartes chapters, second of all distrust between the astartes and ecclestiacy, thirdly distrust between some imperial gaurd regiments and the Inquisition. Also First War for Armaggedon ring any bells? the God Damn Space Wolves almost went rogue!

Compare that to the GE and you get a Galactic entity where even its own allies and troops are having massive distrust with one another (One of which already went rogue).
