There's no way in hell that the Sith could pose a threat in the slightest to even a sector fleet. They might be able to get a planet or two, then the Imperium mobilizes and crushes them.Imperium of Man vs Sith Empire in a battle to determine who is the greater evil! Place you're bets people!
They do control half a galaxy. Underestimating them like this isn't wise.There's no way in hell that the Sith could pose a threat in the slightest to even a sector fleet. They might be able to get a planet or two, then the Imperium mobilizes and crushes them.
I think an appropriate saying here is "Quantity has a quality of its own."
And yet, a Harrower is roughly half the length of a Sword, to say nothing of mass or volume, and anything smaller than a Harrower barely even counts as a starship by 40k standards. Assuming equivalent firepower in terms of size for both fleets (which may or may not be true, depending upon authorial interpretations), then the Sith will lose to the Calixis sector battlefleet.They do control half a galaxy. Underestimating them like this isn't wise.
The Sith Empire as a whole? Maybe. This dinky little fleet, though, is just begging to be crushed.They do control half a galaxy. Underestimating them like this isn't wise.
*can't stop laughing*They do control half a galaxy. Underestimating them like this isn't wise.
I talked about firepower on SB, but in essence not by ton, but by role. A Harrower (without a Silencer class megalaser, which are beginning to come into service at this point) is about a cruiser in 40k terms.And yet, a Harrower is roughly half the length of a Sword, to say nothing of mass or volume, and anything smaller than a Harrower barely even counts as a starship by 40k standards.

On the other hand... hyperdrive. It should be trivial for the Sith to avoid direct confrontations and only strike when it favors them, hunting down lone ships and raiding planetary targets while the Imperial Navy is elsewhere.
To be honest, fighting the sith would be like fighting a weakened Dark Eldar battle force. Their entire specie is, essentially, delta to beta level psykers. Space Marines die like chumps to Imperial Guard psykers, let alone actual trained psykers.*can't stop laughing*
One word mate. Exterminatus. Hey wait, two more! Space Marines. And another two to finish it off! Officio Assasinorum. ~These are a few of my favourite things~ Needless to say this will not go well for the Sith.
Except they all just instadie to lasbolts(because, you know, lasers)To be honest, fighting the sith would be like fighting a weakened Dark Eldar battle force.

There's actually very little difference between aim-blocking a laser and a blaster bolt via precog. There are also of plenty of not-real-lasers lasguns out there.Except they all just instadie to lasbolts(because, you know, lasers)
If you look at most videos of Jedi(or Sith), by the time the enemies fire their blasters, their lightsabers are nowhere near a blocking position. Sure, they start moving by the time the enemy fires, but they don't finish. That works just fine with incredibly slow blasters, but a laser? They're dead.There's actually very little difference between aim-blocking a laser and a blaster bolt via precog. There are also of plenty of not-real-lasers lasguns out there.
...how is this gun wanking? If you want, I could bring up a clip of jedi deflecting blaster bolts where they wouldn't have been able to block them if they were lasers. I figured I didn't need to, but if you really want me to, I can.
Very little difference... aside from the fact that the reasons that a lightsaber can deflect a blaster bolt don't apply in the slightest to lasers.There's actually very little difference between aim-blocking a laser and a blaster bolt via precog.

It does... except for when the narrative is wrong.
Right, except they're not trying to block a laser, so why would they move as if they were going to?...how is this gun wanking? If you want, I could bring up a clip of jedi deflecting blaster bolts where they wouldn't have been able to block them if they were lasers. I figured I didn't need to, but if you really want me to, I can.
Except in no medium I've seen shows a jedi BLOCKING something moving at the speed of light If their not blocking by the time they pull the trigger then they die. An ACTUAL laser would pwn a jedi if their not dodging completelywait we're talking about Jedi blocking speed of light attacks, and no ones mentioned force lightning?
edit:they even reflected it, lightning is not naturally reflective, I see no problem with lasers being reflected here
Well instead of clones they have trillions of fodder (Well fodder in Warhammer anyways) atleast of few of them indoctrinated even harder than the clonesInterestingly because 40k has significantly less droids, turrets, and indoctrinated clone soldiers Jedi could just react to the flashes of rage or intent before shots are fired, from there it's author caveat how Lasguns react with Lightsabers. Gauss Flayers are the real worry, because I have no idea how Jedi are gonna deal with Necrons and Necron tech.
