    Nothing brings me more bliss than hearing about someone or something being "too stubborn to die". To look death in his eyes and spit in his face because you're not fucking done is far beyond the highest medal.

The Steel Legion fight using tanks, artillery, cavalry, etc do to their hive world being an industrial powerhouse. They’ve fought against billions of Orks and Daemons and have won.

      Everything here is taken from one of two sources; either the song's video, or the Amaris Civil War episode of Tex Talks Battletech (which is posted to TH-cam under the channel BlackPantsLegion). I could not possibly tell you where he got them from.

    Now I'm thinking who would win in an all out war between the Imperial Guard + Imperial Navy and the SLDF, both having access to their most elite generals, regiments and divisions. Though I would deprive the Guard from the advantage of Titans since those can level half a continent with just one volley of their monstrous guns.

      I've usually held that BattleTech, especially the SLDF, have higher individual quality when compared to their WH40k equivalents (Mechs to Knights, Warships to Imperium Navy, etc), but the Imperium has an insurmountable advantage in numbers.

Like, a freakin' Cobra-class destroyer - the smallest class escort ship in the IN - masses more than double the tonnage of the largest WarShip built in Battletech.

      Despite what I said earlier, I don't actually think Warships have a direct equivalent in 40k. Not for the Imperium anyway. There's nothing in the Imperium Navy that's as small as a Warship while still being as combat-capable as a Warship
