In calm Warp...within a thousand km if not hundreds of km.
Can they do that mid combat?
And the SM forces would be able to do the same.
Yeah but if you're trying to take down the Death Star running away isn't going to help mean while it can one shot left and right even the strongest ships.
Mean while they can build the Death Star in like 4 years with the main limitation being the Kyber Crystal technology, in just like twenty they'll be able to mass produce miniaturized with Xystons.
The longer the fight goes the worst it goes for the Spacemarines.
Every SM cruiser level vessel carries continent cracking Nova Lances, and a number of the smaller vessels do as well. This doesn't even consider their Capital vessels.
That's fine but they can only shoot once or twice per half an hour, the Death Stars shields should be comparable to its fire power and with how fast those shields recharge they are going to be no selling the Lances.
You'll need like an energy version of cyclonic torpedos and those torpedos can be shot down by the ridiculous amount of Point Defenses
Ummm...no, many of the SM vessels are specifically designed with ramming prows so that they can penetrate through the armored hull of vessels just like the Deathstar. Once they impact, the front opens up and the entire SM crew begins offensive boarding actions.
Ummm no?
We see what happens when 420 million ton ship crashes, and if you want to get even more technical if it's going at 6 kilometers a second it's going to be crashing into that section with the force of 6,858,316,634,400 tons of TNT or other wise Teratons.
it's literally impossible for the ramming ships to do anything but go splat because the Deathstar armor and shields can no sell teratons of fire power focused on one spot.
Some Imperium ships can't even survive that amount of firepower, it's statistically impossible for them to board via ramming
They can only board with teleportation
If Darth ever ran into a Primarch, he'd be screwed. There power level is that rediculous. They are bigger than Darth. They are faster than Darth. They are stronger than Darth. They are more resilient than Darth. He may be able to delay them with the Force, but I have no doubt that in close in fight, Darth Vader dies.
I agree only a Primarch can beat Vader
Any veteran Marine with a force weapon or power weapon is likely going to be able to out-dual Darth Vader. The Force may prevent that from happening, but only while it allows the rest of the Marines to take him out. There will be no deflection of bolter rounds back at the Marines. Another downside, Darth's lightsaber isn't going to automatically penetrate the SM armor either. It may, but it won't just slice through like it wasn't there. All that aside...the SM are perfectly willing to place a few able opponents in front of Darth so they can delay him while the rest blow up the station.
Ern no lol, Vader would TK crush entire groups of Spacemarines with each and TK deflect their bolter fire. No Spacemarine that isn't a Pysker or Primarchs is doing a thing.
He'll redirect bolter rockets back to Spacemarines easily killing them.
Or use his Kaiju mouth closing TK strength to crush them or his spaceship stopping TK. Like he also did in Kenobi.
No number of Spacemarines are taking him down, you need a Pysker or Primarch
