dear lord. You realize that in some of the imperium's lesser skirmishes, several billion soldiers are deployed right? The Empire has absolutely no form of numerical advantage. If anything the imperium has the advantage of better weaponry, more soldiers, and arguably faster travel.
They can do thatbecause imperial guard, and also they will do because lightning strike you know, boarding are frequent in 40K universe...
ROFLAMO! Hyperdrives let star destroyers cross the entire galaxy in under a day, and without any of the shenanigans of the warp. Even though the imperium outguns the Empire pound for pound, they won't be able to do anything against the imperial starfleet, which can just mobilize and attack weak points of the Imperium at will, faster than they can possibly rally forces in defense.
In one day? Nope 2 week at best... This over statement, but yhea since 40 000 univers grimdark, entering teh warp pf the imperium is like trying to **** a whore full of apparent MST.
Imperium also cannot inddeed mobilize very fast when it is about defence, how yhea they can when attacking we call that a crusade, but fast atatck on some weak hives worlds will grant any SW faction 25% of the imperium if they possess a map of the place....
But I'm here to talk ship to ship combat, 40K fan think to have the edge in that category, I think, not, SW ship can fight imperium ship more easly than they would have belive, + many small SW cruiser are wonderfull carriers, and SW starfighters can be polyvalent, due to the fact they can carry small protonic torpedos that can ****-up capital ship wihout to be fockhudge and be transported by big fat FOCKHUDGE bombers...

Here is an explnation about imperium air/star craft..
Up mean up the thread.
I have seen a schematic of an imperial starhawk carrying a single Fhugde torpedo under it's hull.. But I cannot find it any more..
Ha by the way :
Tau
Rather than single large torpedoes, the Tau use volleys of smaller Drone-controlled missiles fired from Railgun-like Gravitic Launchers. The Drone AIs in these weapons allow them to track targets much more effectively than other races' torpedoes.[4]
