It's silly to say the IoM would just win- simple fanboyism. We have no reason to think they are any more powerful in their myhtology than the Empire is in its own.

At least the Galactic Empire's forces don't spend half their lives fighting each other.

I'm sorry but the IoM would just pour trillions upon trillions of men into every battle. The Space Marines themselves could take on the Imperial Armies, and the IoM would obliterate all the Imperial Planets.

exactly oath b1tch a$$ mutha ****AAA

****aaaaah

fucer

The Galactic Empire has just as many men, and the entirity of the Space Marine force is too small to be relevant- as even the game universe exists. A thousand times a thousand men- a tiny siliver of a force, used for elite operations only.

Like the Jedi, there just aren't enugh of them- and they are nowhere near as powerful as Jedi.

Meanwhile, the IoM is in technological decline, whilst the Empire is in technological expansion. The IoM would never build anything like the Death Star.

No, the Imperium merely builds Imperator Class Emperor Titans.

😇

A technology which hasn't moved on in thousands of years and is an inferior achievement, by a vast amount, to a Death Star.

The Empire hardly has trouble on the technological side of things.

Anyone want to compare the techs instead of labeling them inferior/superior and let the third parties here render a vote?

The GE has far better technology, that I conceed.

But the Imperium has psykers! An Alpha-level psyker has been shown to be able to obliterate planets, and there are trillions of them! The Imperium also has far more manpower, and would win with sheer attrition.

There isn't a useful comparison to be had. Both sides build stuff on a ridiculous Galactic scale.

But it is a fact in the continuity that the IoM is in decline, because they don't understand or trust technology (which is why the Tau, a race younger by many orders of magniotude, have better tech), whilst the Empire is constantly innovating and expanding- tech at the expense of people, as GL was demonstrating.

So this embrace of tech means instant win or what?

I think it would be a close victory for either side.

Sorry, Traya, but it is simply untrue that there are trillions of people who can destory planets in the Warhammer Universe. I don't know how else to put it- it is wrong.

You will note that when the Imperium wants to take out worlds in Warhammher, it... invades them with troops. It does not destroy them with one of these trillions of imaginary beings you made up.

Meanwhile, both Empires span a Galaxy. Why do you assume the Imperium has more manpower? Conceptually their size is identical.

No, I was just shooting down the idea that the Imperium was better equipped, but it seems that was conceded anyway.

Is this meaning the Imperium's goal is to secure planets or to destroy them? If the former, then it would make sense to field troops instead of having someone blow it to smithereens.

Very often it is to destroy. They have a habit of total genocide- a religious thing.

Imaginary? Lets look at it, Alpha-level psykers can obliterate planets, most of the times though, they get possessed or eaten by warp demons.
