The Imperial Guard are much more widespread than the Space Marines. Imperial Guard are also much more expendable; the loss of a hundred Imperial Guardsmen would still not equal the loss of one Space Marine. Although in actual game terms, to balance the game, Imperial Guard are able to fight Space Marine armies with a reasonable chance of victory.
Imperial Guard, while weak individually, rely on numbers to win and their superior tanks. Even a small Imperial Guard division is likely to have a full compliment of armored fighting vehicles. Imperial Guard, while not as bad as Tau, are notorious for poor close combat abilities.
The Imperial Guard also has a number of specialists at its disposal. They have access to Stormtroopers, which are elite Imperial Guardsmen who have been issued better weapons and stronger armor.
