What about the good old Bolter? Would that be good enough against Iron Man?
How much? I have no idea tbh. Their feats cover a pretty wide range. Everything between 'omgwat' to 'meh'.
It's important to note the difference between a bolter designed for use by the Astartes and one designed for use by a human, though. Astartes bolters >.
Like Scream said, it'd be hard too hit him with a bolter. They've only got a 30 round clip, so it's not like he can just saturate the air with bolter rounds.
Considering what those jet fighter's did to Tony's armor though (iirc they temporarily dazed him) I imagine a bolter might be able to knock him out of the sky if it hits.

Also, Astartes armor isn't that durable.
Astartes armour withstood the Sorcery bomb Ahriman planted at the largest Librarium in the galaxy, which destroyed the whole ****ing thing and opened great chasms in the earth. It has withstood bombardments from Barrage Bombs, bombs powerful enough to take down the shields of starships. Titus himself withstood that bewm at the end of the game.
Titus is, IIRC, Captain of the Ultramarines third company, he's a fairly exceptional spehss mehreen, which puts him on a solidly superhuman level to begin with.
Space Marines are super human space knight analogues divided into chapters of a thousand marines each. They have reflexes that allows them to slap bolter fire out of the air, and fight at speeds that appear impossible to track to the eyes of normal men/guardsmen.
They have super strength, as Titus himself demonstrates here:

He also overpowers and kills Ork Nobs through out the game, which is no small feat.

His armour and weaponry are pretty hardcore, too. Astartes power armour withstands barrage bombs http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Torpedo#Imperium
Listed in the Imperium section of Variants, orbital bombardment bombs.
Astartes armour also stands up pretty well to chainswords, which are monomolecular edged chainsaws with adamantine teeth that spin at around 1000 rpm, IIRC.
Will come back with more later.
