Thule with a small squad v.s. FF7.
A mishap in the warp drops Thule and a small squad of Blood Raven marines into the FF7 universe, where, believing it to be rife with heresy, they set about conquering it in the name of the God Emperor of mankind.
Thule himself has a Thunder Hammer, his squad consists of:
1 Librarian
3 tactical marines with bolters and chainswords
1 heavy marine with a heavy bolter.
They have infinite ammo because I say so.
All of FF7 allies against them, but they remain in character somewhat. If Thule and his men can conquer Midgar, force a surrender, or kill every character worth mentioning, they win. If not, they lose. They have one year and and access to an auspex which can give them instructions on how to work any tech they recover. They're spays muhreens, so they can pretty much legit eat anything. I'm serious. Also, they're asumed to have pure geneseed and as such have all space marine abilities, such as eating their enemies to gain their knowledge... Yep.

Space marines are massive super humans, who undergo about a centuroy of training, and recieve a series of implants and stuff. Your typical space marine is IIRC, about nine feet tall with two hearts incase one gets shot, and can crush a human skull to dust with one hand. His bones are laced with ceramics from his diet, his spit is acid that can eat through metal, and he's just a general all around badass.
Encased in their ceramite power armour, spays muhreens have some recawkulous feats. Among them:
-Ripping the hatch off from a Lemen Russ. To put this in perspective, the Lemen Russ is a battle tank from the future designed to shrug off damage that would slag a modern tank. Lasguns, often called "flashlights" in 40k because of their general impotency, have no effect whatsoever on a tank like this, or space marine armour, for that matter, leaving just a black spot in the paint. A lasgun was confirmed in Imperial Armour to have a 70 megawatt output. A single shot from one of these would lulz entirely at a tank. Lasbolts have punched through three solid feet of concrete, which from a physics stand point is actually kind of insane given that they're laser weapons. Space marines are strong enough with their armour to rip the hatch from one of these. Not necessarily break through it's armour, but impressive none the less.
-Lifting and carrying large vehicles. (like.. say, a semi.) Another good strength feat, achievable by any man in power armour, easy for a marine. Hell, in on of the Ciaphas Cain novels Inquisitor Amberly does this with smaller less powerful armour. Abaddon, obviously NOT your typical marine, once lifted an entire baneblade (massive tank covered in lascannons, weapons which are just plain stupid) with one hand and crushed it. But yeah, I just wanted to mention it because Abaddon is a badass.
-Their armour, as I already mention, shrugs off lasgun fire, as well as monomolecular edged melee weapons. It takes the strength of another marine to penetrate the ceramite plates (which are about 5mm thick, IIRC, but might be wrong), with a monomolecular chainsword or axe to pierce it, and even then, the armour is still effective.
-Their combat speed and reaction time are super human to some extent, but I have to look that up. I forget exactly by how much.
-Their weapons are basicly "what's the most badass thing ever? And how do we turn it up to 11?" incarnate. I do not exaggerate when I say space marine weapons can include:
Giant, monomolecular edged, chainsaw swords ON FIRE.
Fully automatic, rapid fire, armour piercing, 1.00 calibre rocket propelled grenade launchers on 'roids. (Bolters. Standard weapon. ) Bolter rounds are supposed to be hypersonic, but I can't supply the source on that. It might be a codex, but I don't have the space marine codices handy atm. Will look around, and stuff. But yeah.
Those are the two standard issue weapons 3 of the 6 marines presented have. The Librarian has what amounts to a +10 vorpal sword of psychic awesome (a force sword). The heavy bolter carried by the final marine is like the other one turned up to 12. (Bolters are already 11!) with a much larger magazine size, larger more powerful rounds, fired more rapidly, effective over a longer distance (so probably faster, too). Yeah. Things.
Also, the round fired by a bolt gun explodes in it's target, hence the grenade launcher thing. Consider that bolt guns are effective against other spays muhreens to some extent, and you can imagine how strong they are.

So physical combat doesn't seem to be the most preferred choice for the FF7 peoples. How is their TK and Magic resistance(if any)? How effective would illusions be?

It is in the sense that is totally enclosed, and provides a barrier between the space marine and the magic much like a wall would. Some suits of the armour are psychicly enhanced and provide powerful anti-magical protection, in addition to the already powerful physical protection it provides against magic attacks.
Edit: Also, through out the Space Marine's century of training and shit he's mentally hardenned hypnotised and trained, and the Librarian is a powerful sorcerer/psyker in his own right.
The illusions also probably would not fool the suit's auto-senses.

So let's say I order my Zapdos to use Thunder wave on these gais. Does it work? Essentially the magic on the FF7 side that actually matters is similar to moves like thunder wave or sleep powder in Pokemon.
Edit: So no illusions it seems. If magic doesn't work, probably only things that have a chance are WEAPONS, Sister Ray, and Sehpiroth via Meteor.

No. The armour is heavily insulated, especially against energy attacks, and fully encloses the space marine, with self contained air cycling and everything, thunder wave and sleep powder would both have no effect.

Well now I don't exactly know how Toad works. It just changes things into toads. So I don't know if it's energy or not. I'll throw it out unless someone actually knows whether it would work or not. Looking up other spells right now, but I has to go. Will be back later.
Also forgot about Holy, which was a rough equivalent to Meteor seeing as how it was supposed to stop it and everything. I think the entire FF7 Universe might be too much for just 6 gais with leet stuff.

And wound their own planet? CIS is still on to an extent, sir. Also, takes an assload of time, and would allow the muhreenz to conquer Midgar in that time. EH, do you think Holy can be used that way?
