"Soon after this, Warmaster Macaroth deployed massive reinforcements to the planet, which included 6 million Guardsmen, 500,000 tanks, 3 companies from each of the Iron Snakes and Imperial Fists Chapter"

A highly dubious number of tanks. Incredibly so, considering each tank is constructed manually by covens of techpriests, and it may take decades to build one.

Even 5000 tanks would be a gigantic number, especially as the opponent is merely a single Hive City. --Pef

Sci-Fi Writers Have no Sense of Scale. It's a common problem in Warhammer 40,000 (not exclusive to this franchise, but still). For wha it's worth, I did check the source and it states "half a million" so, yeah. KazilDarkeye (talk) 11:11, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
See also Sci Fi Writers Have / No Sense of Units/ 40K. In any case as Kazil pointed out, we take what the source says, period. --Inquisitor S., Großmeister des Ordo Lexicanum (talk) 19:25, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
