For all your questions on Dark Heresy (1st and 2nd Editions), Rogue Trader, Deathwatch, Black Crusade, and Only War. Not the wargame. Not Chapter Master. Or Space Hulk.
There is a new Homebrew Megafolder option in above MEGA directory containing several things formerly listed individually on this post.
40K RPG tools, a site that contains stats or references for almost all weapons, armor and NPCs/adversaries. Not updated past DH2 core. 40krpgtools.com/
40k RPG Combined Armory (v6.45.160417), containing every piece of gear in all five lines. Now containing some of the DH2 content up to the first supplement. mediafire.com/folder/i3akv9qx9q05z
Fear and Loathing (Ver 1.5.2) and The Fringe is Yours (Ver 1.6.0), Veeky Forums made Rogue Trader homebrew supplements for playable xenos, Knights, Horus Heresy gear, and other things. Now found in the Homebrew Megafolder.
Mars Needs Women! Rampage of the Nerds! (V1.0.0), a new Veeky Forums made Only War supplement for playing as Skitarii, Cult Mechanicus, and joyriding an Ordinatus mediafire.com/?irijme05vbks7q4

What was the worst thing that's happened to your character so far?
Dying is not the worst thing.
Michael Morris
Being put on fire. I think that's going to change come the autumn, when the group hopefully goes back to DH
Asher Myers
Getting eaten alive by Kroot, then having the Shaper who ate him wear his face while he interacted with humans.
Was not pretty.
Caleb Turner
He was denied his revenge

MEGA Guy has returned from being a lazy asshole!
Now I'm a kinda lazy asshole distracted by streaming.
Post updates, etc, whatever, you're all adults, you know what to do.

Hey. I'm GMing a game of Black Crusade. My (human) Heretics have become powerful enough that I think I may throw a Horde at them.
I realize that Magnitude and number of enemies isn't necessarily 1-to-1, but I'm right in thinking that for unremarkable human enemies (to be precise, 50 members of an unremarkable planets moderately well-trained PDF), ought to roughly have a Magnitude equal to their numbers?
Justin Morgan
Read up on how magnitude works for hordes then reconsider.

What is your favorite rival or villain you have had to face/have thrown at your players?
Mine is an Ogryn who found a Halo Artefact while working on a mine on the fringe world of Sothra, before it caved in and he was trapped. The artefact made him very intelligent (Well above Average Human, near Genius level) and whispered into his mind, telling him to uplift his species and create a new, powerful Ogryn Empire. After weeks of hunting underground creatures and having his mind mold him and raise his thinking skills, he led a series of ambushes and kidnappings to acquire more Ogryns (who were still dumb, but did what he said because he was bigger), and after three years of raising an army of Ogryns he overthrew the sparsely-populated, decrepit Fortress World government and installed his own. At this point, he began capturing tech-priests and having them forcibly install new implants to the Ogryns, making them more intelligent (as in "slightly-below-average-Human"), while hiring pirates to capture more tech-priests and hire Hereteks to build weapons and brain-implants for his Ogryn brothers.
Eventually, he managed to trade enough with pirates and renegades that he acquired his own ship, and used said ship to raid and plunder nearby systems to build up his world, and the manufactorums and armories began to reactivate under his direction. This attracted the attentions of my RT party, who were sent by the Inquisition to check up on the world and see what was going on.
This Ogryn was full-on Ogryn when it comes to strength and toughness, but also extremely intelligent and with a high Fellowship to command other Ogryns in battle in compex tactics. It was probably the hardest enemy my party ever had to fight.
Will post the stats if anybody wants them.

I own the Black Crusade core book. The Horde rules are two pages. I've read them and reread them, trying to see if there is something more specific that "Magnitude 30 is a mob, Magnitude 60 is a thronging phalanx".
I may be an idiot, I may be missing something significant or something I don't fully understand from the rules. But I'm not getting whatever it is you're trying to suggest.
(I know there are Horde rules in Deathwatch; I know there are Advanced Horde Rules in Tome of Blood. If those would be useful, I'll download the relevant thing. But yeah, I may be dumb, but I'm not getting whatever you're trying to imply.)
