Yeah, certain Guardsmen would fucking kill Space Marines without breaking a sweat. Not necessarily grunts obviously, but a Catachan or death world Sergeant, Commissar, or Sanctioned Psyker certainly could do the job.

Oh *hell* no!
Watch Predator sometime to see what would happen. Now imagine the predator is 200 pounds heavier, 1 foot taller, has 4" thick armor, and a fully automatic rocket launcher, as mentioned below.
It's been reiterated by GW that Space Marines are not the "Navy Seals" of the Imperium, that equivilant is the Stormtroopers of the IG. Navy Seals are "normal grunts" compared to Space Marines.
A Space Marine would kill a Catchan before he ever was seen (jnfared helmet, augmented sight/smell, superhuman reflexes/aiming), and would put either his first through the chest of a Commissar or make his head explode if hit there.
A sanctioned psyker *might* have a chance if he was lucky enough to get close, but those guys are total physical/mental wrecks.

You don't need to explain to me what Space Marines are like, I'd still place my bets on a Catachan Sergeant in the jungle.
And I'd take that bet. :P
Anyways, what if they do some kind of RTS MMO? Hasn't been tried before, has it?
Psh, when do you find a commissar without several dozen pieces of ablative armor?

Looks interesting. Imagine that set in Ultima Segmentum or Cadia, hrm. Dawn of War online, heh..
