Personally, I feel that I don't know enough about the Dominion's logistical chains to agree it's a result of technological superiority. Aren't they about the size of a 40k sector (about 200 square light-years)? The closest equivalent can think of for the Terran Marines that the Imperium has are...

I know that, when I said 'kinks' I was generally referring to stuff like gene-seed implantation. That's what I think as well. Personally, I doubt the factions besides the Empire are going to mean much. From what little I know, they are both less advanced and have slower FTL.

Well, generally an 'average mook' Astartes is likely going to be generally equal in capability from chapter-to-chapter, if they have roughly equivalent training doctrine, time, experience, equipment, etc. I personally doubt that there will be a crippling drop in viable recruits if Astartes...

Unrelated question; is the image of the Chaos ship working now? I can't speak for how Starcraft, or Star Trek would affect stuff like that, since my knowledge of the other settings is very limited, but any improvements will likely be the result of Guilliman: Chapters often purposely keep...

I'm afraid I can't think of any. The Imperium can make many more Space Marine chapters if they want to, thousands in fact: The Emperor, as far as I can tell, is 100% unrivaled when it comes to gene-science. Even then, he needed the scientists of Luna and centuries of tinkering to perfect a...

Yeah. The hyperdrive will probably see use by the Custodes or the Grey Knights, since they get all the nice toys. The Death Star probably becomes one of Terra's many defense installations (but not before they dip it in gold and cathedrals). The Super Star Destroyers and the Imperial Star...

Even if he does, M.42 isn't the right time. The Great Rift is still open, and the Imperium's oligarchy wouldn't react kindly to this; they would drum up political support and point at the primarch, saying, "These are what his reforms lead to! The dismantling of His most Holy organizations!" The...

Do you have any citations for this? I think just about nothing changes; the Empire's hyperdrive could be a massive improvement in logistics and wartime response, but I highly doubt the Navis Nobilite or the Adeptus Astra Telepathica is going to allow their monopoly on Imperial commerce and...
