Thanks for watching everyone! Again, I'm surprised by how well this did. And I appreciate all the comments both the positive as well as the negative ones. Also, the amount of Star Wars vs Warhammer debates that these videos spark in the comments is hilarious.
I'm a big Warhammer fan and I really enjoyed your Warhammer vs star wars videos, you should make necrons vs star wars battle Droids or general grievous that would be pretty funny
It'd be funny see a continuety crossover, the empire would almost certainly be turned by choas cultists into with their level of corruption, especially the sith, sith demons would happen 😂
I (storm trooper) would have said something like "No but at that point might as well kill your enemies with OLD AGE... which doesn't seem sooooo cool." lol
@@johntorreto4485 well the clones dont have daddy issues, they just have all the other issues (and probably daddy issues but those would be focussed on daddy fett, hence the mandalorian references in their "culture" and mostly their armor personalization)
@@starkiller169 Oh please, like Palpatine would get off his ass. Face it, Vader's Stormtroopers and fleet are the only competent fighting force the Empire has because he kills all the incompetent idiots who come near him.
Funny thing is, Space Marines have the best logistics in the entire Imperium since they're designed to be extremely mobile and self-sufficient, and Ultramarines in particular have the best logistics of the entire Adeptus Astartes, with the possible exception of the Imperial Fists.
Actually, taking into account the challenges that keeping together an empire of a million planets entails in a universe where travel and communications have to go through literal hell, the fact that it's *only* a nightmare is pretty damn impressive. The Imperium has *excellent* logistics for the circumstances.
Yep, for every 1 Imperial Navy ship there's 99 similarly-sized civilian commerce ships, often nearly-automated and taking short pre-planned jumps through the warp instead of the faster, but more perilous journeys military forces have to take. Then there's all the system defense ships around every planet, which cannot go FTL but make up for it with heavier weapons for their size, and the fact that even feudal planets with minimal guidance (every month put X tons of material at the spaceport to sacrifice to the god in the sky) can mine enough resources to make a 5km ship in 12 years. The reason why Imperial ships often take so long to build is because many dozens at a time are constructed in each spaceport, and old, destroyed ships are continually salvaged, repaired, cleansed of chaos, and remade, all before factoring in the lengthy rituals and double-checking to make sure every part is in proper order.
@@teabaggins1er seen a comic about that exact scenario also you cant really put the blame on us, all levels of the imperium have fallen to some degree ot religious superstition and my fellow mechanicus brothers tend to hoard the STC for themself.

You do know that they have to go faster than the speed of light. It already takes the sunlight 8 minutes to reach us. I Star Wars they utilize hyperspace which allows them to go over one hundred thousand times faster than the speed of light.
Warp travel doesn't take 50 years. Sending a message to ask for help takes 50 years. The warp travel itself 9/10 is instantaneous to a few hours long at most. But of course, there is always the chance you simply wont make it.

... what? That's not how this was portrayed. He left because the Marine would have demolished him on the ground, but could never catch up to him in space
Unlike other SM legions the Ultramarines take an active interest in the government of their worlds, which is why they're likely almost a super power of their own making in the 40k verse. Aye they get hammered and things are likely to move slower than the lightning fast Empire but even if Star Wars ends up on the offensive they'd have to grind through entire world populations that are ready to fight down to the last man reinforced by SMs leading them both strategically and on the battlefield. One or two of their worlds don't even have a surface to bombard into dust since the Tyranids beat them to it. They live out of giant caves. I know I've nerded out here but as one who has read alot from the Chaos perspective one of the worse things you could do when fighting the blueberrys is to underestimate them.
You're as high as the Japanese leadership during WW2 if you think the Empire 'has to' assault heavily fortified imperium worlds rather than just bomb them until they present no credible naval threat and possibly leave a small naval garrison to ensure anyone left in cover beneath the planetary surface never leaves or just, you know, completely avoids those world and hits worlds less well entrenched with an overkill number of naval assets with hilarious local superiority. Or, you know, use any of the many, many superweapon projects they developed even in Disney cannon to avoid potentially messy ground or space combat entirely. Context is key: the Empire was a militarized police state with no credible external threats that was more concerned with knocking down Joe Q. Public and keeping him there than another similar sized polity seeking its destruction through conventional interstellar war. In other words, you're actually seeing the empire explicitly not firing on all cylinders like they would be when fighting someone like the IOM that could apply the external pressure the IOM can. Once Palpy understands the size of the problem, the IOM's only hope of not being consistently defeated conventionally is for them to use their more developed and better special forces to assassinate him and cause the Empire to schism like it did in cannon. A credible and very easy strategy compared to all other options for either side admittedly, but it's still very much the only win con for the IOM because trying to conventionally fight a similarly sized foe that's much more adaptive with much better communications and travel and logistics and that advances at a much faster rate and is much more standardized just isn't a path to victory just isn't it.
@@VunderGuy Issue with that is assuming everything does go smoothly for the Empire. All it would take is one move in space by the IOM to catch the Empire in a surprise boarding action to capture Imperial ships or secure a vessel with functional hyperdrives. I'm sure the Empire could win at a distance in space but once a Terminator boarding squad gets aboard a Star Destroyed I'm not liking the Imperials chances. If and or when that happens it's over for the Imps since despite their techno heresy the IOM aren't beneath using anything to achieve victory even if it damns them. For everything to go perfectly for the Empire you would need somebody like Admiral Thrawn to be running the show and if he's around then somebody like Guilliman could be around too. Not to mention the numerous other threats that groups like Chaos or Tyranid cultists could cause without first hand experience.
@@VunderGuy all it takes is a single navy patrol to stop by at a bad time, or a world with, you know, those stronger defebses you are talking about which is ground to space defenses and void shields that could take sustained bombardment from a full 40k fleet? You know 40k weapons massively out range Star Wars right? And their ships tend to clump a LOT closer due to that, which means a single Nova Cannon round from a cruiser that stopped by to refuel is gonna kill dozens of ships in the blast…
@@FMHikari not really. Astartes Chapters operate pretty much entirely independant and are highly adaptible. He just calls in to his company tech-marine and they'll get that to him.
@@draochvar9646 depends on the company he's a part of since different companies have entirely different focuses sure there are squads who do other rolls in the company but if he isn't an assault marine he won't get the pack and if his company is like heavy weapons company then he is not getting that jump-pack because that is assault marine use only.
@@jedi-rl1hq Well said. Astartes are doctrine dependent, while Stormtroopers are more versatile despite being less powerful. Stormtroopers get arsenals soom, too, as their deployment ships often have their inventory stocked up for the mission. Astartes on the other hand, are lucky if they get any vehicle at all.
It’s all fun and games until the storm trooper turns around to taunt the Ultramarine one last time and discovers the average space marine can sprint at 45 miles per hour
The imperium may have more firepower (aside from planet killers, which are actually better in star wars) but the sheer logistical, manufacturing, and mobility advantage the empire has straight gives them the W. People often overlook that a large reason why the empire was losing to the rebels was because the entire imperial military was set up for full scale conflicts, not counter guerrilla warfare.
But that isn't why the Empire lost, though, lul. It isnt because of moronic, braindead Internet fanon garbage like this. We...literally SEE, in the movies, nevermind EU, why they lost; Sidious died. Its that simple. The Empire was fundamentally built around him. With him it stands, without him it falls.
The thing is... the sw empire doesn't have counter units to, like, space marines, not to mention that even the guard has better weapons than troopers, and their planet killers literally need to be the size of a moon to work (not counting legends) and are fairly easy to destroy (i mean, why it had a hole DIRECTLY into the core)
@JuanCR the empire doesn't need a counterparts to space marines when they have air superiority and basically all their weapons are armor piercing plasma rifles. And no, even in canon the planet killers don't need to be moon sized, this was clearly shown in ep9 where every ship was a planet killer (as silly as it was, its canon)
@@seemslegit6203 lol you count episode 9, your already off to a bad start. Star wars would not control the air by any means, even the shielded fighters in star wars don't compare to air units in 40k, which you are obviously ignorant of. The imperial guard alone has more types of fighters than the entire star wars universe has, and they all boast a machine spirit bred and augmented for aerial combat both in the void of space or in atmosphere. They often have heavy armor and weapons that would turn atat walkers into plates of metal spaghetti, and that's just the guard. And if you think star destroyers have a chance you obviously haven't watched the movies from your own universe, where simply moving within the radius of their shields leaves them vulnerable to attack, meaning boarding torpedoes filled with thousand year old, battle hardened, super human warriors can just get inside without even having to fire a shot, then paste the entire crew. The one hope for space faring star wars ships would be to retreat from every planet the imperium of man shows up to, their ability to traverse space without the use of the warp being their only true advantage. Though the imperium wouldn't care, much like in any number of the crusades waged by the imperium, you don't need to out maneuver your foe or beat him to the punch if you can simply drop a single bomb and eradicate their entire people planet by planet, until the only option for the enemy is to face you.
@@seemslegit6203 and blasters may use plasma tech but they are designed for combat with soldiers wearing armor that bearly stops a lead bullet. Sure larger laser and blaster weapons may compare with a plasma gun, but the standard readily available blaster doesn't make several entire men explode into a fine red mist the way a plasma gun does. And considering storm trooper armor (storm troopers not even being the standard troops of the empire) isn't really made to repel blaster fire, but instead solid projectiles, I wouldn't try to make the comparison that a blaster could kill space marines, who have a decent chance of surviving legitimate plasma guns anyway. Also have you read star wars lore? Blasters suffer from really pathetic lethal ranges, due to energy loss over distance. Space marines engage at ranges that blasters can't even kill at. The imperial guard lasgun, often referred to as an angry flashlight in 40k, has a lethal range of almost triple the e11. And yet your trying to convice me that a bunch of regular people in white plastic, who couldnt hit one farmboy at 50 meters, have a chance against a marine. If I were you I would stick to the logistics argument made by the stormtroopers in the video, it's realistically the only chance the star wars universe has against the imperium of man, which Is probably one of the only factions in 40k that star wars has a hope of even denting. Because even if the star wars lore breaking myths you just stated were accurate, 40k only has to raise you nids or orks.

That is not a fight a basic Baneblade wants to pick, those main cannons on the AT AT can crack it open in a few hits from up to 17kilometers. A Shadowsword however would be a matter of who shoots first
@@ottovonbismarck7646 bane blade has less than half the speed of an At At, with 25 kph top on road speed compared to 60 for tha AT AT. As for armament I would put the Mega Battle cannon roughly on par with the main cannons on an AT AT in terms of raw firepower per shot and possibly even range, but has severely noticeable disadvantages. It’s a munitions based weapon which means it’s not guaranteed to be loaded with the optimal shell type on contact, it’s more susceptible to environmental factors and harder to aim even given the fact that they’re rocket assisted. It’s also a much slower firing weapon and it’s only real advantage is the fact that it’s turreted, although it’s traverse speed isn’t particularly great and At At’s have demonstrated pretty deft maneuvers to bring itself into proper firing arcs, I’d encourage watching the clip of an At At quickly pivoting to shot down a Snowspeeder in Empire Strikes Back. Unless the Baneblade really gets the drop on an Baneblade, in close enough quarters where aiming isn’t as much of an issue and it can bring its demolisher cannon into bear but far enough away where it’s gun can elevate to attack it, it’s generally going to be at a significant disadvantage. Especially since given the height difference the AT AT would generally be firing down onto the top armor of the baneblade, which is as a rule one of the weakest points of a tank’s armor
@@JacatackLP there's no way a at-at is moving that fast, and considering it's narrow cone of fire, and slow traversing speeds, it's still a very one sided fight.

The stormtrooper just leaving his AT-AT behind won't even affect the Empire, they'll just produce a thousand more. The Imperium leaving behind a titan would be leaving behind an ancient, irreplaceable artifact.

What folks seem to forget is that while yes the Imperium crushes the Empire in ground battles, the Empire absolutely crushes the Imperium in naval warfare. In the time it takes the Imperium to build 1 Battleship the Empire has built a couple dozen Star Destroyers with full compliments of escort fleets, fighters, bombers, and supply ships. Additionally hyperspace travel and FTL communications means the Empire can be anywhere at any time and the Imperium just outright can’t catch them. With probe droids any Imperial ship that falls out of the Warp away from the rest of the fleet has maybe a few hours at best before it’s jumped and torn apart like a buffalo fighting a pack of lions. Even if the Imperium can draw the Empire out into an open naval battle it still loses, because while an Imperial ship has enough firepower to take down a Star Destroyer, they simply cannot bring said firepower online fast enough compared to the Star Destroyer. And of course TIE fighters and bombers make absolute jokes out of their Imperial counterparts. They’re faster, more maneuverable, pack comparable firepower, and they are vastly cheaper to produce.
Gotta agree. But even with the ground battles it's only when the Imperium brings in something like titans, SMs, Librarians, etc. The average stormtrooper bodies the average guardsman. And the average tank is MUCH faster and a decent amount stronger than the average... well... literal tank... that the Imperium has.
On top of all that the Galactic Empire can counter Warp Travel with Interdictor technology. While that seems odd since Imperium ships travel through the warp we actually see that Orkz can use Interdiction fields to pull Imperium ships out of the warp for ambushes, meaning the Empire can catch entire Imperium fleets out of position and open fire while the crews are disoriented.

@@blacktemplar1139and what is the battle barge going to do? Get swarmed by dozens of star destroyers, along with hundreds- thousands of tie fighters? I seriously doubt marines could even fit in a star destroyers halls if they boarded, with their massive stature and exaggerated armor.

@@Smelly556 that battle barge is about the size of an SSD & has cannons the size of star destroyers bridge towers, with the power to wipe out said destroyer in a single weapons blast. and for context Darth Vader is 6'7 Ft tall, an Astarte's is 8Ft tall in armor, so yes they can fit in star destroyer hallways & other area's. meaning that fleet attacking the barge is getting their crews pasted. for you see a battle barges (& any vessel of the post mortal variety) deadliest weapon is not some cannon or other weapon system. that honor belongs to its crew.
When you study the whole scriptures(dive down Star Wars EU rabbit holes) you see it wasn't the rebellion defeating the empire as it was the Republic momentuming back into existence

While the imperiums massive size is a strength it also a weakness because once the empire has a way to reliably kill titans like the Tau their gonna be at the a disadvantage cause unlike the Tau the empire has the size and the logical power to give the imperium a spanking
The issue with the Empire is that they relied too much on fearmongering over actual military power. That’s why the Death Star was prioritised over Thrawn’s TIE defender. Tarkin didn’t care about actual military so long as the people were too scared to fight back.

@@evanlight2550 indeed thrawn being the head of the campaign would truly make the imperium consider a peace option but I do believe that the average imperial officer is more competent than your average imperium office plus the imperiums reaction to threats is slower due to the warp being unpredictable and slower than hyperspace travel

@@jessikablake4784Nah, lore wise, stormtrooper Armor is impervious to kinetic weaponry as well are spaceships shields. At first they used kinetic weaponry and more specifically rail gun tech. But shielding and Armor technology became so efficient that they had to go for energy based weapons. In the modern era of SW, kinetic weaponry is still useless.

Actually while the Empire can’t just destroy a planet, they can use Star destroyers to wipe all life off it. It it’d take a blockade to stop people from running, but the Empire’s ftl is just better, no hell, so getting a fleet over isn’t a issue. Admittedly the Imperium can scour a planet quicker but they aren’t the only ones that can.
@@sevenclovers7 here's the problem with SW ftl: it's bound to the hyperspace lanes. And those need to be left every time they cross a system. So whilst the Imperium can go freeballing all over the place, with the warp being relatively calm in the SW galaxy, since stuff like the war in heaven never happened here, the Empire is stuck to the lanes. And if the Imperium simply takes a few node systems, the Empire's logistics are in major hot water.
Both universes are terrific and deserve their fans. In a one on one, the Galactic Empire gives the Imperium a good krumpin’ every time. Their logistical efficiency, capacity for faster-than-light realspace travel, bureaucratic top-down uniformity and the active involvement of their Emperor are all incredible advantages. Not to mention their ability to produce whatever they put their mind to without first searching out STCs to be able to do so. The bottom line: the Empire is a galactic force on the rise, while the Imperium is one in the grip of decline. The Empire also has access to the greatest commander: Thrawn. I’d imagine that Thrawn at the helm of the peak Empire would even give the 41st Millennium Necrons a run for their money. In any case, funny video!
Except for the fact that no matter how far the Imperium declines, no matter how inefficient, it can never fail. The imperium reason that the imperium hasn’t fallen is the remnants of its previous might, it has access to technology that will last for tens of millennia and can destroy star systems, it has trillions of citizens on millions of planets, a battle in single system in 40k contains more soldiers than all of Star Wars combined. The inefficient bureaucracy doesn’t matter when it is literally too big to fail. Thrawn is displayed as a genius but saying that literally anyone in Star Wars could beat even a single half decent planetary defence force is stupid. In 40k the most basic of weapons that are given to tens of millions are equivalent to Star Wars’ anti tank weaponry. The strongest ship in the empire doesn’t hold a candle to the Imperium’s void shields, macros and lances. The Necrons’ weakest weapon breakdown atoms, their “super weapon” the celestial orrey allows them to literally control all stars in the galaxy. If the Necrons wished they could destroy any non immortal force in either fictional universe. The imperium used to be at an equivalent level, Star War and 40k cannot be compared. At least Star Trek and 40k have similar levels of technology, Star Wars is but a child in comparison.
@@yonneye2427 Having studied both universes for a long time, I have to say your thoughts on technological imbalance are quite off. I don’t believe the blasters in Star Wars are any weaker than lasguns, and the same could be said of Turbolasers compared to Titan or warship weaponry in 40k. In what way are void shields entirely superior to force fields in Star Wars? Or Ray shields? If you factor in Legends, the powers of the force give a decisive edge to the Empire as well, as Sidious would be more than capable of ravaging entire fleets with force storms. In any case, the Necrons almost certainly have the edge versus any other faction, but in the current setting their division makes them vulnerable, or at least not overwhelming as they otherwise would be. The celestial orrery is an interesting note, but irrelevant. They have yet to use it for a reason - the consequences to the Necrons themselves, indeed the stability of realspace, would be far too dire to be used except in the face of extinction.
@@emperornapoleon6204 Blasters create tiny little puffs when they hit something, turbo lasers take multiple hits to take down a building.

If the Necrons were actually losing they’d bring out their big guns, the celestial orrery was only an example of their power. A single mid sized Necron dynasty has plenty of less galaxy destroying weapons that could easily destroy any weapon the Empire could control, the Necrons even had a better version of the Death Star. Political instability and division cannot be used against 40k factions without also applying it to the Empire, the moffs are hardly cooperative outside their particular sector(s) not to the empire can’t keep a tiny little rebellion at bay. The Imperium does absolutely everything they can to survive 40k, the Empire wouldn’t last a second.
@@yonneye2427 the thing is you look Disney canon and movies. Actuall SW univers is very much on par with WH40K. Well at least the Old Republic and Yuuzhan Vong is.
@@oliwierbroda2575 Which has absolutely nothing to do with the empire. Yuuzhan Vong pales in comparison to the Tyranids(not the best comparison, but they’re the closest thing). I’d also like to mention that technology barely changes in SW past Old republic, so the argument about 40k tech being stagnant is a moot point. I’ve seen nothing in EU(both canon and decanonized) that makes me believe that the Empire’s baseline is anywhere close to 40k factions. Especially the Necrons.

"You see the difference between lthe empirium and the covenant is that the covenant don't see not charging in headfirst as dishonorable. They see it as fucking stupid"
It's actually a good point, many people immediately will say 40k wins everything but then forget to mention how terrible it can be to get any of those powerhouses to your assault, sure Star Wars may have the overall weaker tech but at least they have reliable FTL and faster to replace vehicles and such
I see a lot of people down play Star Wars tech but it's honestly not too far from the imperium in the 42nd millennium, and if we considered legends content I would say the Star wars universe could go toe to toe with the Imperium but would still likely loose simply because of the sheer size of the IoM.
@@merafirewing6591 The IoM would definitely loose some ships but I doubt they would be "irreplaceable" the only ships that would not be able to get replaced would be a couple special ships and I doubt those would even be lost considering how tanky they are, I doubt the empire could destroy "The Rock" and any normal ships can be reproduced as long as they have the proper STC'S.
@@LikeZoinksGangWay It still would be a very long drawn out conflict which is very interesting. Damn it be very cool to see how the Death Star would fair against the IoM.
The marine could have just called in one of the newly invented Astraeus Super-Heavy grav tanks. No need to bring Titans into it. Also sure, warp travel can usually take months to get across the galaxy, but it can also mean you arrive at your destination, but it can also sometimes get you there before you left, because hell doesn't understand how time works.
*the ATAT shoots and destroys the tank* ATATs can destroy heavily armored ATTEs in a few hits, guys that were so heavily armored that in initial deployment the best way the CIS had to take them out was roll forward droids that fired hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of missiles (roughly the equivalent of an ATTE in cost) and hope they hit the weaker points that only a guided missile could hit
@@calebbarnhouse496 _"the ATAT shoots and destroys the tank"_ What tanks ? These ? "In many sectors, overloaded Earth caste reactors had been remotely detonated, sending huge mushroom-shaped clouds towering upwards. In other regions, swarms of missiles so thick they blotted out the sun came down, the explosions hot enough to turn the sand below to blackened glass for miles around the epicentres of the blasts. Flesh was evaporated, steel twisted and melted beyond recognition. *Yet not everything was destroyed in the maelstorm.* Lumbering across blackened and flame-scorched sands came the Imperial Guards most impervious vehicles, the hulking super-heavy tanks. They churned forward, each a mobile fortress, as indomitable as the Imperium itself. Turrets bearing enormous cannons swivelling in scarch of retribution. Behind them strode Imperial Knights, their ion shields flickering. Shadowsun's counter-attack had kept its distance from the blast zone, and was only now racing towards the front. However, there were Tau assets already in place. Bulwarks of armour and shields, the KV128 ballistic suits had stood silent sentry while the desert exploded. Now they came alive, swivelling at the waist to align shoulder-mounted weapons, locking onto the tanks moving across the burning sands. Like clashing gods of war, the super-heavies unleashed their prodigious arsenals - cutting loose with firepower whose *single shots could shatter mountains."* *-War Zone Damocles: Mont'ka (Campaing, chapter "When Gods Of War Clash")* Multiple nuclear explosions can't do shit to Baneblades which are comparable in power and defense to Astraeus Super-Heavy grav tanks.

Don't exagerate, depending also in the size and what are you talking about like imperial knights are among most fast but among most small of the titans and this is also because are made to be durable and dangerous when eldars titans are not so durable but are very fast and to you said everything what is wrong, humans are still enough fast but is i think faster at running than orks when space marine can run with average speed of 60km per houer but they can run faster at 100km per houer but not none stop like at the normal speed and eldars like their vehicles and daemons and psykers are out of question because they ignore the laws of logic. Back to my point about imperial knights is to imperial knights walk faster and can also sprint like hound titans what are very fast who can also sprint and i think you understand to they can destroy an AT-AT without to be something too fancy. But talking about faster than light travel is to depends because to with warp travel you won't reach your destination in hundreds of years because the noble navigator will navigate making to reach his destination in a few days if is hard to travel because of a warp storm or something but they can reach also the destination even before it had even leave like you are going somewhere and you arrive much more soon because the time don't exist in the warp and plus to is corrupted can make you to go too soon or too late if you don't have a navigator to know how to travel to arrive at the good moment not too soon or too late.

1:21 He has a point… Pound per Pound, The Empire is about every bit as capable, if not more so, at fielding and maintaining a galaxy wide military as any 40K faction. AND they can manage and even innovate leagues faster then anyone besides The Tau. For all its efforts into perfecting the art of overkill, I don’t think the Imperium really ever _had_ an equivalent to The Death Star, let alone it’s successors. And that’s not even getting into how The First Order blows both out of the water in a lot of ways in the quality of their tech. I mean Starkiller base is LITERALLY something you’d only find in the 40K universe during the war in heaven (so only Necrons or Orks turned Krorks would be able to field something like THAT in the modern day.) If The Imperium had their own Starkiller parked next to holy terra (in a nearby solar system obviously), the high lords could order an exterminatus pretty much anywhere in the galaxy and watch it unfold from the comfort of the throne world.
Loved the video @Full Moon Studios! Can't wait for the next video man! As Someone who Watches "Warhammer 40K" and "Star Wars" Operation videos in ArmA on TH-cam, I can Confirm that the Stormtroopers, While not the Best at Shooting by any stretch of the Imagination, wouldn't be all that stupid and actually try and fight a Space Marine in a 1v1 fight because that would actually be more like a 3v1 at least.

Man, that Stormtrooper was straight fire with his burns. But he's right, the Empire does have better logistics. They built a Death Star in less than 20 years, and almost did it again, much larger, in less than half the time as the first one. Not to mention all the things the Stormtrooper roasted him about, STCs, FTL, the Mechanicum, everything was so true amd straight fire all around.

Funny thing is, Space Marines have the best logistics in the entire Imperium since they're designed to be extremely mobile and self-sufficient, and Ultramarines in particular have the best logistics of the entire Adeptus Astartes, with the possible exception of the Imperial Fists.
As a Warhammer 40K fan, I can safely say that the logistics of the Imperium and its technological development is a nightmare (thanks Mechanicus).
It’s like trying to use online chat tech support with dial up internet just to get a reference/case number for call back within 800 business days
Actually, taking into account the challenges that keeping together an empire of a million planets entails in a universe where travel and communications have to go through literal hell, the fact that it's *only* a nightmare is pretty damn impressive. The Imperium has *excellent* logistics for the circumstances.
Yep, for every 1 Imperial Navy ship there's 99 similarly-sized civilian commerce ships, often nearly-automated and taking short pre-planned jumps through the warp instead of the faster, but more perilous journeys military forces have to take. Then there's all the system defense ships around every planet, which cannot go FTL but make up for it with heavier weapons for their size, and the fact that even feudal planets with minimal guidance (every month put X tons of material at the spaceport to sacrifice to the god in the sky) can mine enough resources to make a 5km ship in 12 years. The reason why Imperial ships often take so long to build is because many dozens at a time are constructed in each spaceport, and old, destroyed ships are continually salvaged, repaired, cleansed of chaos, and remade, all before factoring in the lengthy rituals and double-checking to make sure every part is in proper order.

LOGISTICS!
Unlike other SM legions the Ultramarines take an active interest in the government of their worlds, which is why they're likely almost a super power of their own making in the 40k verse.
Aye they get hammered and things are likely to move slower than the lightning fast Empire but even if Star Wars ends up on the offensive they'd have to grind through entire world populations that are ready to fight down to the last man reinforced by SMs leading them both strategically and on the battlefield.
One or two of their worlds don't even have a surface to bombard into dust since the Tyranids beat them to it. They live out of giant caves.
I know I've nerded out here but as one who has read alot from the Chaos perspective one of the worse things you could do when fighting the blueberrys is to underestimate them.
40k sgowing us how kafkaesque a galaxy wise administration would be.
You're as high as the Japanese leadership during WW2 if you think the Empire 'has to' assault heavily fortified imperium worlds rather than just bomb them until they present no credible naval threat and possibly leave a small naval garrison to ensure anyone left in cover beneath the planetary surface never leaves or just, you know, completely avoids those world and hits worlds less well entrenched with an overkill number of naval assets with hilarious local superiority. Or, you know, use any of the many, many superweapon projects they developed even in Disney cannon to avoid potentially messy ground or space combat entirely. Context is key: the Empire was a militarized police state with no credible external threats that was more concerned with knocking down Joe Q. Public and keeping him there than another similar sized polity seeking its destruction through conventional interstellar war. In other words, you're actually seeing the empire explicitly not firing on all cylinders like they would be when fighting someone like the IOM that could apply the external pressure the IOM can. Once Palpy understands the size of the problem, the IOM's only hope of not being consistently defeated conventionally is for them to use their more developed and better special forces to assassinate him and cause the Empire to schism like it did in cannon. A credible and very easy strategy compared to all other options for either side admittedly, but it's still very much the only win con for the IOM because trying to conventionally fight a similarly sized foe that's much more adaptive with much better communications and travel and logistics and that advances at a much faster rate and is much more standardized just isn't a path to victory just isn't it.
@@VunderGuy Issue with that is assuming everything does go smoothly for the Empire.
All it would take is one move in space by the IOM to catch the Empire in a surprise boarding action to capture Imperial ships or secure a vessel with functional hyperdrives. I'm sure the Empire could win at a distance in space but once a Terminator boarding squad gets aboard a Star Destroyed I'm not liking the Imperials chances.
If and or when that happens it's over for the Imps since despite their techno heresy the IOM aren't beneath using anything to achieve victory even if it damns them.
For everything to go perfectly for the Empire you would need somebody like Admiral Thrawn to be running the show and if he's around then somebody like Guilliman could be around too. Not to mention the numerous other threats that groups like Chaos or Tyranid cultists could cause without first hand experience.
@@VunderGuy all it takes is a single navy patrol to stop by at a bad time, or a world with, you know, those stronger defebses you are talking about which is ground to space defenses and void shields that could take sustained bombardment from a full 40k fleet? You know 40k weapons massively out range Star Wars right? And their ships tend to clump a LOT closer due to that, which means a single Nova Cannon round from a cruiser that stopped by to refuel is gonna kill dozens of ships in the blast…

The imperium may have more firepower (aside from planet killers, which are actually better in star wars) but the sheer logistical, manufacturing, and mobility advantage the empire has straight gives them the W. People often overlook that a large reason why the empire was losing to the rebels was because the entire imperial military was set up for full scale conflicts, not counter guerrilla warfare.
But that isn't why the Empire lost, though, lul. It isnt because of moronic, braindead Internet fanon garbage like this. We...literally SEE, in the movies, nevermind EU, why they lost; Sidious died. Its that simple. The Empire was fundamentally built around him. With him it stands, without him it falls.
The thing is... the sw empire doesn't have counter units to, like, space marines, not to mention that even the guard has better weapons than troopers, and their planet killers literally need to be the size of a moon to work (not counting legends) and are fairly easy to destroy (i mean, why it had a hole DIRECTLY into the core)
@JuanCR the empire doesn't need a counterparts to space marines when they have air superiority and basically all their weapons are armor piercing plasma rifles. And no, even in canon the planet killers don't need to be moon sized, this was clearly shown in ep9 where every ship was a planet killer (as silly as it was, its canon)
@@seemslegit6203 lol you count episode 9, your already off to a bad start. Star wars would not control the air by any means, even the shielded fighters in star wars don't compare to air units in 40k, which you are obviously ignorant of. The imperial guard alone has more types of fighters than the entire star wars universe has, and they all boast a machine spirit bred and augmented for aerial combat both in the void of space or in atmosphere. They often have heavy armor and weapons that would turn atat walkers into plates of metal spaghetti, and that's just the guard. And if you think star destroyers have a chance you obviously haven't watched the movies from your own universe, where simply moving within the radius of their shields leaves them vulnerable to attack, meaning boarding torpedoes filled with thousand year old, battle hardened, super human warriors can just get inside without even having to fire a shot, then paste the entire crew. The one hope for space faring star wars ships would be to retreat from every planet the imperium of man shows up to, their ability to traverse space without the use of the warp being their only true advantage. Though the imperium wouldn't care, much like in any number of the crusades waged by the imperium, you don't need to out maneuver your foe or beat him to the punch if you can simply drop a single bomb and eradicate their entire people planet by planet, until the only option for the enemy is to face you.
@@seemslegit6203 and blasters may use plasma tech but they are designed for combat with soldiers wearing armor that bearly stops a lead bullet. Sure larger laser and blaster weapons may compare with a plasma gun, but the standard readily available blaster doesn't make several entire men explode into a fine red mist the way a plasma gun does. And considering storm trooper armor (storm troopers not even being the standard troops of the empire) isn't really made to repel blaster fire, but instead solid projectiles, I wouldn't try to make the comparison that a blaster could kill space marines, who have a decent chance of surviving legitimate plasma guns anyway. Also have you read star wars lore? Blasters suffer from really pathetic lethal ranges, due to energy loss over distance. Space marines engage at ranges that blasters can't even kill at. The imperial guard lasgun, often referred to as an angry flashlight in 40k, has a lethal range of almost triple the e11. And yet your trying to convice me that a bunch of regular people in white plastic, who couldnt hit one farmboy at 50 meters, have a chance against a marine. If I were you I would stick to the logistics argument made by the stormtroopers in the video, it's realistically the only chance the star wars universe has against the imperium of man, which Is probably one of the only factions in 40k that star wars has a hope of even denting. Because even if the star wars lore breaking myths you just stated were accurate, 40k only has to raise you nids or orks.

AT-AT: *slowly marches to battle*
Baneblade: *licks chops eagerly*
That is not a fight a basic Baneblade wants to pick, those main cannons on the AT AT can crack it open in a few hits from up to 17kilometers. A Shadowsword however would be a matter of who shoots first
@@JacatackLP considering the firepower and the maneuverability of a baneblade, I think it's a very one sided fight.
@@ottovonbismarck7646 bane blade has less than half the speed of an At At, with 25 kph top on road speed compared to 60 for tha AT AT. As for armament I would put the Mega Battle cannon roughly on par with the main cannons on an AT AT in terms of raw firepower per shot and possibly even range, but has severely noticeable disadvantages. It’s a munitions based weapon which means it’s not guaranteed to be loaded with the optimal shell type on contact, it’s more susceptible to environmental factors and harder to aim even given the fact that they’re rocket assisted. It’s also a much slower firing weapon and it’s only real advantage is the fact that it’s turreted, although it’s traverse speed isn’t particularly great and At At’s have demonstrated pretty deft maneuvers to bring itself into proper firing arcs, I’d encourage watching the clip of an At At quickly pivoting to shot down a Snowspeeder in Empire Strikes Back. Unless the Baneblade really gets the drop on an Baneblade, in close enough quarters where aiming isn’t as much of an issue and it can bring its demolisher cannon into bear but far enough away where it’s gun can elevate to attack it, it’s generally going to be at a significant disadvantage. Especially since given the height difference the AT AT would generally be firing down onto the top armor of the baneblade, which is as a rule one of the weakest points of a tank’s armor
@@JacatackLP there's no way a at-at is moving that fast, and considering it's narrow cone of fire, and slow traversing speeds, it's still a very one sided fight.

What folks seem to forget is that while yes the Imperium crushes the Empire in ground battles, the Empire absolutely crushes the Imperium in naval warfare. In the time it takes the Imperium to build 1 Battleship the Empire has built a couple dozen Star Destroyers with full compliments of escort fleets, fighters, bombers, and supply ships. Additionally hyperspace travel and FTL communications means the Empire can be anywhere at any time and the Imperium just outright can’t catch them. With probe droids any Imperial ship that falls out of the Warp away from the rest of the fleet has maybe a few hours at best before it’s jumped and torn apart like a buffalo fighting a pack of lions. Even if the Imperium can draw the Empire out into an open naval battle it still loses, because while an Imperial ship has enough firepower to take down a Star Destroyer, they simply cannot bring said firepower online fast enough compared to the Star Destroyer. And of course TIE fighters and bombers make absolute jokes out of their Imperial counterparts. They’re faster, more maneuverable, pack comparable firepower, and they are vastly cheaper to produce.
Gotta agree. But even with the ground battles it's only when the Imperium brings in something like titans, SMs, Librarians, etc.
The average stormtrooper bodies the average guardsman. And the average tank is MUCH faster and a decent amount stronger than the average... well... literal tank... that the Imperium has.
On top of all that the Galactic Empire can counter Warp Travel with Interdictor technology.
While that seems odd since Imperium ships travel through the warp we actually see that Orkz can use Interdiction fields to pull Imperium ships out of the warp for ambushes, meaning the Empire can catch entire Imperium fleets out of position and open fire while the crews are disoriented.

While the imperiums massive size is a strength it also a weakness because once the empire has a way to reliably kill titans like the Tau their gonna be at the a disadvantage cause unlike the Tau the empire has the size and the logical power to give the imperium a spanking
The issue with the Empire is that they relied too much on fearmongering over actual military power. That’s why the Death Star was prioritised over Thrawn’s TIE defender. Tarkin didn’t care about actual military so long as the people were too scared to fight back. Now if Thrawn or some other military general was in charge, I can at least say they would do really well and give the Imperium a run for their money.
@@evanlight2550 indeed thrawn being the head of the campaign would truly make the imperium consider a peace option but I do believe that the average imperial officer is more competent than your average imperium office plus the imperiums reaction to threats is slower due to the warp being unpredictable and slower than hyperspace travel
From any starwars games ive played the storm troopers were worse off in every way from the clone troopers from tech to training

Actually while the Empire can’t just destroy a planet, they can use Star destroyers to wipe all life off it. It it’d take a blockade to stop people from running, but the Empire’s ftl is just better, no hell, so getting a fleet over isn’t a issue.
Admittedly the Imperium can scour a planet quicker but they aren’t the only ones that can.
@@sevenclovers7 here's the problem with SW ftl: it's bound to the hyperspace lanes. And those need to be left every time they cross a system.
So whilst the Imperium can go freeballing all over the place, with the warp being relatively calm in the SW galaxy, since stuff like the war in heaven never happened here, the Empire is stuck to the lanes. And if the Imperium simply takes a few node systems, the Empire's logistics are in major hot water.

Both universes are terrific and deserve their fans. In a one on one, the Galactic Empire gives the Imperium a good krumpin’ every time. Their logistical efficiency, capacity for faster-than-light realspace travel, bureaucratic top-down uniformity and the active involvement of their Emperor are all incredible advantages. Not to mention their ability to produce whatever they put their mind to without first searching out STCs to be able to do so. The bottom line: the Empire is a galactic force on the rise, while the Imperium is one in the grip of decline. The Empire also has access to the greatest commander: Thrawn. I’d imagine that Thrawn at the helm of the peak Empire would even give the 41st Millennium Necrons a run for their money.
In any case, funny video!
Except for the fact that no matter how far the Imperium declines, no matter how inefficient, it can never fail. The imperium reason that the imperium hasn’t fallen is the remnants of its previous might, it has access to technology that will last for tens of millennia and can destroy star systems, it has trillions of citizens on millions of planets, a battle in single system in 40k contains more soldiers than all of Star Wars combined. The inefficient bureaucracy doesn’t matter when it is literally too big to fail. Thrawn is displayed as a genius but saying that literally anyone in Star Wars could beat even a single half decent planetary defence force is stupid. In 40k the most basic of weapons that are given to tens of millions are equivalent to Star Wars’ anti tank weaponry. The strongest ship in the empire doesn’t hold a candle to the Imperium’s void shields, macros and lances. The Necrons’ weakest weapon breakdown atoms, their “super weapon” the celestial orrey allows them to literally control all stars in the galaxy. If the Necrons wished they could destroy any non immortal force in either fictional universe. The imperium used to be at an equivalent level, Star War and 40k cannot be compared. At least Star Trek and 40k have similar levels of technology, Star Wars is but a child in comparison.
@@yonneye2427 Having studied both universes for a long time, I have to say your thoughts on technological imbalance are quite off. I don’t believe the blasters in Star Wars are any weaker than lasguns, and the same could be said of Turbolasers compared to Titan or warship weaponry in 40k. In what way are void shields entirely superior to force fields in Star Wars? Or Ray shields? If you factor in Legends, the powers of the force give a decisive edge to the Empire as well, as Sidious would be more than capable of ravaging entire fleets with force storms. In any case, the Necrons almost certainly have the edge versus any other faction, but in the current setting their division makes them vulnerable, or at least not overwhelming as they otherwise would be. The celestial orrery is an interesting note, but irrelevant. They have yet to use it for a reason - the consequences to the Necrons themselves, indeed the stability of realspace, would be far too dire to be used except in the face of extinction.
@@emperornapoleon6204 Blasters create tiny little puffs when they hit something, turbo lasers take multiple hits to take down a building. Lasrifles blow giant chunks out of any unarmored surface they hit, most titan weaponry above scout titans can level small parts of a hive city with relative ease. Most ships from the more specialized factions in the Imperium can purge or even destroy entire planets in mere moments, singular macro cannon shots are larger than many smaller Star Wars ships. These also aren’t just small ships they have the population of towns or small cities. If the Necrons were actually losing they’d bring out their big guns, the celestial orrery was only an example of their power. A single mid sized Necron dynasty has plenty of less galaxy destroying weapons that could easily destroy any weapon the Empire could control, the Necrons even had a better version of the Death Star. Political instability and division cannot be used against 40k factions without also applying it to the Empire, the moffs are hardly cooperative outside their particular sector(s) not to the empire can’t keep a tiny little rebellion at bay.

It's actually a good point, many people immediately will say 40k wins everything but then forget to mention how terrible it can be to get any of those powerhouses to your assault, sure Star Wars may have the overall weaker tech but at least they have reliable FTL and faster to replace vehicles and such
It would be an interesting fight though.
I see a lot of people down play Star Wars tech but it's honestly not too far from the imperium in the 42nd millennium, and if we considered legends content I would say the Star wars universe could go toe to toe with the Imperium but would still likely loose simply because of the sheer size of the IoM.

Multiple nuclear explosions can't do shit to Baneblades which are comparable in power and defense to Astraeus Super-Heavy grav tanks. And Baneblades can also dish out mountain-destroying shots.
What the hell At-Ats are gonna do to this ?
The logistics don't matter
Meanwhile in Ultrama
Gilamin are you feeling alright
Gilamin: I sense a disturbance in the warp
Logistics, FTL capabilities…those alone are worth considering Star Wars over 40k.
-Who'd think its smart to carry a melee weapon in the space age?
Wanna tell Vader that?
Everything in 40k is overkill
He could call a imperial knight and was more than enough.
Stormy: what. Is. That?
It has a chanisaw for an arm?!
Why?
Spass mahren: because why not? It is going To intimidate The crap out of you when it saws your puny camel in half.
@@brok56 imperial knights are a bit smaller than a AT-AT but they can defeath whole armys on their own.
In 40k everything is stupidly slow if it’s something important
Don't exagerate, depending also in the size and what are you talking about like imperial knights are among most fast but among most small of the titans and this is also because are made to be durable and dangerous when eldars titans are not so durable but are very fast and to you said everything what is wrong, humans are still enough fast but is i think faster at running than orks when space marine can run with average speed of 60km per houer but they can run faster at 100km per houer but not none stop like at the normal speed and eldars like their vehicles and daemons and psykers are out of question because they ignore the laws of logic. Back to my point about imperial knights is to imperial knights walk faster and can also sprint like hound titans what are very fast who can also sprint and i think you understand to they can destroy an AT-AT without to be something too fancy. But talking about faster than light travel is to depends because to with warp travel you won't reach your destination in hundreds of years because the noble navigator will navigate making to reach his destination in a few days if is hard to travel because of a warp storm or something but they can reach also the destination even before it had even leave like you are going somewhere and you arrive much more soon because the time don't exist in the warp and plus to is corrupted can make you to go too soon or too late if you don't have a navigator to know how to travel to arrive at the good moment not too soon or too late.
@@averageeughenjoyer6429 how gloriously wrong you'd be when it comes to a good amount of foot soldiers in 40k
I like how the Elite AT-AT is being used there
Yo, an Ultramarine who says "the logistics don´t matter", is wild to me.
the funny thing is i think a space marine can actually bring an AT-AT down by itself
Give him a jet pack and a power sword and he can 100% solo the thing.
No.
@@papapalps2415 Luke killed one with a grapple, a length of rope and a grenade; I think the Astartes will do just fine.
@@CteCrassus Thats neat. Astartes have been killed in duels with ordinary humans and by wooden spears. See, see, mummy? I can nitpick examples to further my agenda, too!
Now are you ready to put on your big boy pants and use your brain, or...?

40k: better guns
SW: better transportation
Are we talking legends or canon SW?
40k doesn't have better guns, bolters are actually pretty shit, lasguns are straight ass, to the point where guardsmen use modern day body armor and they still fail, while stormtrooper armor can tank multiple shots from guns that cook the insides of targets, letting the user survive them so long as it's not from a hero character
@@calebbarnhouse496 - And don’t forget that every faction (baring the Orks, Nids, and Dark Eldar sometimes) have better weapons then the Imperium on average. Necrons have their Gauss weapons that can OHK you if it hits anywhere near your torso, Eldar weapons are just scary to read about with how brutal they are, Dark Eldar weapons are generally built to cause mass suffering with each hit, and the Tau have the best range around.
@@doctorcorvus1319 yea, but 40k fans put the imperium as the only faction they give a fuck about, so using the other factions would be like trying to figure out which would win a war, umabra or the wookies
@@calebbarnhouse496 - Umbara, fighting on the planet alone is a nightmare for those who can’t see in the dark that well, and their vehicles are monsters to fight without knowing how to take it out.

He has a point… Pound per Pound, The Empire is about every bit as capable, if not more so, at fielding and maintaining a galaxy wide military as any 40K faction. AND they can manage and even innovate leagues faster then anyone besides The Tau. For all its efforts into perfecting the art of overkill, I don’t think the Imperium really ever _had_ an equivalent to The Death Star, let alone it’s successors. And that’s not even getting into how The First Order blows both out of the water in a lot of ways in the quality of their tech. I mean Starkiller base is LITERALLY something you’d only find in the 40K universe during the war in heaven (so only Necrons or Orks turned Krorks would be able to field something like THAT in the modern day.) If The Imperium had their own Starkiller parked next to holy terra (in a nearby solar system obviously), the high lords could order an exterminatus pretty much anywhere in the galaxy and watch it unfold from the comfort of the throne world.
Yeah you have a point there
Nah the Empire will just die against the Imperium in like 60 seconds...
And all it took to take down the Galactic Empire was some dude with a green glowstick lol. The same was for the first Order.
@@TrickshotFactory677 Yeah pretty much
@@TrickshotFactory677 🤣🤣🤣
Loved the video @Full Moon Studios! Can't wait for the next video man! As Someone who Watches "Warhammer 40K" and "Star Wars" Operation videos in ArmA on TH-cam, I can Confirm that the Stormtroopers, While not the Best at Shooting by any stretch of the Imagination, wouldn't be all that stupid and actually try and fight a Space Marine in a 1v1 fight because that would actually be more like a 3v1 at least. Nice little Bomb drop from the Stormtrooper as well to an *ULTRAMARINE* no less, the Very Legion of the Space Marines that Value Logistics above almost all else knowing how important they are to the War effort.

5.7K subscribers Space Marine: [shouts] "STORM-POOPER!!! COME DOWN HERE AND FACE ME!!!"
Stormtrooper: "Name calling. Really?! That's the best you could think of? What's next, you gonna make more "Stormtroopers Can't Aim" Jokes?"
Man, that Stormtrooper was straight fire with his burns. But he's right, the Empire does have better logistics. They built a Death Star in less than 20 years, and almost did it again, much larger, in less than half the time as the first one. Not to mention all the things the Stormtrooper roasted him about, STCs, FTL, the Mechanicum, everything was so true amd straight fire all around.
Truly the most based stormtrooper to grace TH-cam.
Good stuff
Honestly with how GeeDoubleU stole the Star Wars Chicken Walker I'm more surprised they didn't steal the AT-AT design too.
They already had those doom cathedrals that fired Death Star laser beams.
Kinda takes away from the Imperium because I look at stuff and think: “Wait, didn’t that one series make something similar to this?” more often then I like.
@@doctorcorvus1319 I head that thought every 5 pages while reading the Dune Series. "Oh, this is where they got that idea from"
@@pikadragon2783 - I think Majorkill also did a video on it too
Well it appears this stormtrooper just gave a SPACEMARINE his AT-AT Walker
There will be bloodshed.
We'll see whose blood gets spilled first, the incredibly unstable walker, or the adamantine clad demigod
If Empire encounteres the Imperium, Palpatine would start funding mass production of clones, droids, fleet etc.
Also would be fun to watch Guardsman vs Imperial army trooper dialogue.
