Rad, you don't understand how rare and expensive a single Space Marine is. There are about 1 Space Marines for every Billion Trillion humans in the galaxy. If power armour could be made as easily as you think, then wouldn't every Guardsmen have one? But the don't. Even the Raven Guard, who's home planet has the same output as a small forge-world, have to import resorces from other worlds. Your empire of maby able to produce 100 Space Marines in a couple of centuries, no where near enough to make a founding of any size.
