>Implying IG wouldn't be able to stomp BETA

Hahahahahaha, lol no.


They would drive over them, and not even notice it. Unlike the IJA/IRG, the IG is not limited to shitty ammunition that was outdated by 1945 - if a Bolter can penetrate Space Marine armor, you can be sure it'll go through Ruritare shell like it's not there.

And most BETA aren't armored either, so basic lasgun with eviscerate them. Mind, the lasgun is bottom-tier only because Guard regularly fights superpowered deamons, superpowered demonic Space Marines and aliens that fire black hole guns. Against an unarmored target, it's literally capable of blowing off an arm with ease.

BETA laser spam? Yeah, well, good luck with that when almost every second vehicle in Guard's arsenal is an artillery truck. Let's see for how long can Lasers keep it up. And then we have Baneblades, which casually fuck over anything that BETA can throw at them, including Carriers and Laser-Fort.

That's before we factor in orbital fire support.

And that's before we factor in the tremendously broken logistics of Imperium of Man and its Guard. The IoM fields billions of regiments, easily enough to populate Earth billion times over. Because, you know, they kinda control the Galaxy. And the Guard is their mainstay force.

So to Guard, BETA would be small-time. Especially compared to Tyranids.

One does not simply fight the grimderp.
