As I understand it: there are one thousand chapters of space marines each roughly one thousand men strong. That is a grand total of one million space marines in the entire Imperium. Which is about one ninth of the population of Greater London.
I expect most Imperial Guardsmen have not only never seen a space marine - they probably have never even heard of anyone who has. I therefore suggest that if the Guard ever have to fight any space marines that they just don't turn up and wait until the Marines go home and then come back and plant a flag or something. ;D

also in a protracted conflict the marines would run out of ammo before all the guard was dead. then it would be purly wait of numbers

yeah its a bit strange sammy...how u never see any extra mags on a space marine and his only one clip bolter....however...even if they did run out of ammo...theyd still fight hand to hand agenst the guard....combat knive and fist and all...with such strnght and weight...it aint easy to bring down a 7 foot space marine

yep true yet the guard could run up cliffs and then shoot at the sm's while they very slowly try to advance up the cliff

but then the sm would realise the IG are actuallu heretics so would then call in the inquisition into the sector and issue an orbital retaliation strike....which means blood and guts everywhere

if you gathered every guard in the universe spacemarines and the inquisition would have no chance. as it would be a gagillion to 1 odds... its just a numbers games...you also have to add in what do the titan legions do.

This is being discussed on another forum so I'll add my bit-
You have to take into account that most of the space marine equipment cannot be replaced as it is old forgotton technology and when it is damaged it has to be replaced. If a Dreadnought or some Terminator Armour gets destroyed it is gone for good and can never be replaced.
Whereas the Imperial Guard's are being equipped with new gear all the time.
In a war of attrition were the SM's only have a limited amount of equipment and the IG has an almost limitless supply then there can only be one outcome.

SM will win lots of battles but they wouldn't win the war. Sooner or later the Sm's will run out of equipment and a SM in his underwear armed with a knife won't last long against 100 lasguns and a couple of Russes

any good tactics 4 fighting them IN A GAME (best equipment, best tactics, how 2 take out certain units ect) Lots of Heavy Bolters to blast away at long range. Ogryns are good in CC as long as there's no powerfists involved. A LR Demolisher armed with a lascannon and two plasma cannons is just plain nasty against marines. It also draws a lot of fire away from your troops.
