@atdsutm
Those LED-laced pansies in Gears of War are little girls compared to Space Marines.
RE: Warhammer 40k - Mjting - 08-17-2010
I kinda agree. hahha
RE: Warhammer 40k - Fox - 08-17-2010
What's your opinion on this then?

RE: Warhammer 40k - clonezero - 08-17-2010
aaah yes here it comes again
I for one like the terran marine because their mass produce-able
one space marine may be worth a thousand normal soldiers but that is just it a thousand, once I get over that thousand man power threshold their toast!
sorry but I just love the IG more than the Astartes
RE: Warhammer 40k - Grim - 08-17-2010
I'm not well-versed in Warhammer lore. But I think Space Marines will totally wipe the ground with the blood and guts of Terran Marines.
RE: Warhammer 40k - HayWire - 08-17-2010
Terran Marine = Ex-convicts in power suits
Space marine = Genetically enhanced super-soldiers hand-picked from the harshest corners of the Imperium. They undergo several years worth of training and biological and cybernetic enhancements. They don't even get to wear the armor until they've served/survived decades of battles as a scout.

And that's just the standard space marine. There's also the Grey Knights chapter, psionically enhanced space marines specifically trained to kill demons.

Argh. My bad. That was me.
Gotta remember HayWire uses the PC more than I do.
Anyway, I'm betting on the Space Marine - they're badass enough to kill Terran Marines without the armor, and the Tyrannids are way nastier than the Zerg, imho.

We know TS, we know.
@ Thread:
One thing I've been hoping in regards to the customization is to make your character look like a generic marine. In short, the protagonist must have a helmet add-on.
... and yes, the chosen people also undergo a series of surgery enhancements as they go through their trials (which also includes in receiving a second heart lol). Afaik they're just like red shirts/IG when compared to the Emperor's royal guards though.

I think i read in some article that the playable character is/will be a sergeant, and Astartes Sergeants rarely wear any sort of protective headgear so that they can show off those rank studs on their foreheads.

If they're the squad sarge, not wearing the helmet is also a form of morale booster - a show that you're so badass that you don't need a helmet when charging into hell
RE: Warhammer 40k - Fox - 08-17-2010
It's also like they've got a crosshair permanently painted on their heads. All too often in fiction, these guys get dispatched by neat headshots with really messy exit wounds or by chainaxes, warscythes, power klaws, boneswords or whichever melee weapon connects with their unprotected noggin.
RE: Warhammer 40k - clonezero - 08-18-2010
true but they do die as bad asses
RE: Warhammer 40k - Twin-Skies - 08-18-2010
@clone
Agreed. When a Space Marine dies, they usually die on a pile of enemy corpses XD
RE: Warhammer 40k - clonezero - 08-18-2010
and that's why I love the IG they can give your pile of corpses and then some
