Yeah, this is the color version. I´ve chosen same color for a more simply comparison between the two types of Space marine. The high-tech armored Terran, and the genetically modified superhuman from Imperium. It seems that Terran marine have just shot all their amunition and Ultramarine sergeant is about to do same...

the difference here is that a Bolt Pistol will do more than leave a dent

If half of the IG are suited up with Terran Marine armor, the Astartes would be so owned...

Half? Dude, that'd be EPIC overkill. Nobody, NOBODY save maybe the Emperor himself knows or have any idea of how much men are in the Imperial guard. They're everywhere. Largest fighting force in galaxy. Astartes are one million, roughly. I say - if hald of the Guard would be suited with Terran Marine armour, everything would be owned.

With all their technological know-how, it's a wonder why the techpriest never attempted this yet. With the Tyranid threat looming just outside the galaxy, they need this more than ever.

I see two reasons - first, Guardsmen are supposed to die on the battlefield, they did in the times of the Imperial Army and ever since, so nobody's going to change that efficient strategy. Second - that'd probably be some kind of techno-heresy. Not logical? Well, don't expect logic from fanatics. Even if they venerate machines.

Though I think that the Terrans Marine armor are essentially made out of butter when compared to a Space Marine, I think a better debate would be the Terran Marine VS The Imperial Guard

It's most likely. But if you read their wiki it's pretty competent [link]

But what's more important here is that the Terran Marine armor allows a normal human to wield heavy Astartes class weapons instead of Imperial class bolters and the shamefully inferior Lasgun.

Now, if you have a regiment as small as 2 million pseudo-Astartes at your command, I'm pretty sure you don't have to rely on the "Emperors Finest" to bail you out.

Their bickering about heresies are getting on my nerves...
