You started at High Imperial tech levels, so qualitatively most of your weapons and industry was up there with the best of 'em (except ships, as they require experience. You should've stumbled across Alectai despairing a few times by now :V).

Currently, your basic bitch groundpounder would mop the floor with a M42 Tempestus Scion in everything except for training. Your Templars could take down Space Marines in 3v1s. Your Space Marines can 1v3 theirs. You also have very advanced vehicles and fighters that can bitch-slap their equivalents seven days till sunday.

i don't like that word, that specific word in that exact spot in this very informative sentence, We at the Federation don't appreciate such laziness from our citizens, i think we need to do a write in action to correct such things

so anyways hero, that's with our groundpounders compared to scions, how does training compare between the templars and scions? (& what's the rough estimate for the number of templars do have out in the federation?)

also, if lamenters can 1v3 other space marines, then with a legion of 20,000 that means we have an effective force equal to normal 60,000 Astartes?

"Our basic soldiers can't beat Imperial Elites trained from childhood to be killers? A Shameful Display! We must commit sudoku to cleanse ourselves of this dishonor!" :V

Templars dunk on Scions. They are your Nuns With Guns, but the sweltering abs come in Male and Enbie flavor too.

'Bout 0.5% of your total forces. They are the elitary elite after all.

Kinda.

I actually messed up the placement of the quotes, so I'll remake that one once I get home. :V

Vashtorr blasting Scrap-Code at your Automata: "Serve the forces of Chaos, Serve me, the God of All Machines!"
300-Year Old Stalwart Line Automata that's seen more drama in the military than a cheap soap opera in its 47th season: "That's a bit cringe, innit bruv?"

Ok, so I guess Vashtorr hates our existence and intends to annihilate us if he manages to ascend to the fifth Chaos God.

And since chaos holy numbers are basically a countdown, he will have the number 5 for his holy number.

Which is also the Star Child's.

...he's in a race between him, Be'lakor, and the Star Child to be the next major God of the Warp, isn't he?

kind of expected when even federation chaff has better gear, but more specifically whats the comparison in training, scions beat our groundpounders, but what's the difference between the templars compared to scions in getting yelled at by instructors?

never mind it just realized that 35% of our pop/military are going to be growing up to a maximum of 500 years old and some will have more experience than younger marines a couple more turns

Nope! Star Child won't be a Chaos God, so he doesn't get to hog the fifth place, like the Star Father would. He's just malding.

Templars have literal centuries to hone their skills after they get inducted into the Templars as adults with military service when they get recommended for that due to exemplary service and skills.
Scions get slapped with childhood indoctrination, trauma, and drugs for ~15 years once they turn 5 while being orphans, and then get thrown into the blender until they die or get old enough to train a new generation.

So how does it work with holy numbers then? Will Vashtorr have to get his own number since the Star Child has already claimed number five?

You ever seen two highschoolers try to fight? Imagine that, but with him and the Star Child over the number five.
 
As an aside - between our rate of research and Cry For The Future, we can effectively get 12 research actions done in a single turn (this obviously works better if we turn on Grand Design the turn before that). With that in mind, I'm looking at possible research combos:

1)Novel Infantry-Grade Weapons and Armor Development IV + Experimental Infantry-Grade Weapons and Armor Development III + Improved Logistical Infantry-Grade Weapons Development III + Improved Logistical Infantry-Grade Armor Development III + Manic Monofilament Missile Studies + Ship Equipment Standardization III

This one makes our ground forces nigh-invincible. Admittedly the last two research points are kinda wasted on Ship Equipment Standardization, since I doubt we'll be upgrading the fleet any time soon, so it might be best to spend them elsewhere on something that'll be completed at a later turn.

2)Anti-Psychic Materials + Starry Arcanum Psychic Hoods + Experimental Infantry-Grade Weapons and Armor Development III

Incredible resilience to psychic enemies, and still a nice boost to infantry.

3)Applied Anti-Warp Corruption Sigils

A preemptive "fuck you" to Vashtor?

4)Celestial Psyker Staves

Because our Choirs are one of our greatest strengths, and this makes them even mightier.

5)Novel Infantry-Grade Weapons and Armor Development IV + Improved Logistical Infantry-Grade Weapons Development III + Improved Logistical Infantry-Grade Armor Development III + Anti-Psychic Materials

A compromise that gets a very strong infantry while still providing some anti-psychic defenses. ...I'll admit I'm concerned about potential Warp subversion of our automata-heavy military.
