So, you're asking if I'd die, or, die? Well, that's a no brainer. But seriously. If you knew a single thing about the 40K universe, you'd know that's a dumb question.

All the races and factions of the Warhammer 40K universe are (in)famous for their ludicrously creative brutality. Among them the Adeptus Astartes, or space marines as you prefer, are some of the most feared warriors that the Imperium of Man has to offer.
So yeah... They're heavily armored, eight feet tall, walking tanks created by and in the image of a literal god emperor. In a universe where everything is trying to kill you I'd say all that would come in handy. So, back on topic... Yeah I'd join them in a heartbeat.

Not to mention the fact that a good chunk of that training and implantation is tortuously painful. Most simply die from the pain, let alone all the uber dangerous, against-all-odds battle situations.Hal10k said:
Despite my love for the Adeptus Astartes, I'm sorry to say I wouldn't go through that process. I'd much rather be an imperial guardsman, as I can don't have to go through all that pain and effort just for a 1/1000 chance of becoming a marine. More importantly though, I'd personally wield a meltagun, which doesn't care if the thing it's firing at is a marine or a regular human. It'll kill them anyways.
Betcha' I could convince them that sadism is its own reward and that keeping that particular feeling will enhances the boney boys.Ilke said:Fuck no if they kindly propose. I'd probably not survive the process, or the Neophyte stage even.
Too bad you won't be able to feel that joy if you become one of themFalloutJack said:
You know, I hate to say it but I think Space Marine are more human then we give them credit for. I mean look at the pre-heresy and how the Primarchs acted with each other. Look how they have feelings of like a normal human.
Jealously for Perturabo (Iron Warriors) for feeling outshadow by his brother Rogal, Depression for Horus since he was overburden with running the war and trying to keep his brothers in line. Angron feels angry towards his father due to the emperor forcing Angron away form his comrades in battle. Mangus feeling betray by his brothers when Russ attack him when he was trick by Horus.
I mean hell, look at Captain Titus. He doesn't seem brainwash to worshiping the Emperor as a god. Most Space Marines don't. Though they due view him as a very powerful figure, I don't think they view him as a god.

I think most people are forgetting the most fun job in the Warhammer universe. Princeps of a Titan. You wana talk about being a 8' walking tank? Try commanding a 40'-80' walking city distroyer. Sure after a while you'll go partially insane from the machine spirit of the titan but who cares?
But if I can't make it into that then Ordo Hereticus here I come.

The 40k universe is not a place I would want to live in by any stretch. Space Marines are post-human tools of war that go through a horrific process of transformation.
The cult of the machine are just pawns of the C'tan.Outcast107 said:
The tau are perfectly happy to accept anyone wishing to serve the greater good, including humans they quite readily accept imperial guard regiments and give them better armour and weapons, so id take that over a space marine. sure still more likely to die, but way less likely to die than the imperial guard, tau don't believe in cannon fodder.
HA! Foolish mortals! You cannot stand against the might of CHAOS!!! Seriously, join Chaos Marines. We have spider tanks with artillery cannons in their chests, and daemons....and of course daemonettes.
Well lets have a rundown of the 40K factions(I'll try to keep this unbiased):
Imperium of Man-Space Marines are brutal psychopaths, Imperial Guardsmen are cannon fodder, Inquisition is just a bunch of pricks.
Eldar- A bunch of fruit-loops who spawned a Chaos god. Who then proceeded to rape their souls.
Dark Eldar- Sadists that torture a bunch of people cause they want to. Also, they're "awfwaad of Swaneesh," so they brutally steal other people's souls. The pussies.
Orks- Cool bros, live to fight. And totally not religious like dem Space Marines.
Necrons- Machines that only exist to kill every-fucking-thing. No real purpose. They're also ugly mother fuckers.
Tau- They're like door-to-door Jehovah Witnesses. Only on a galaxy wide scale, and with billions and billions of members and deadly fire weapons.
Tyranids- The coolest and undeniably the strongest race in 40K. They have a single goal in minde, and its to have everyone join them in their gene pools in order to evolve into the single most superior sentient being in all the universe(with long flowing blonde hair and washboard abs, like mine). Also, they have the fucking Swarmlord.
Chaos- Hipster Space Marines who thought the Imperium was too "mainstream", so they left.

Not many, some of the less liked Chapters of the Marines tend to be the more individualistic and as such... less liked but the orthodoxy. The more modern incarnations of the Blood Angels are so despised and in disarray that they'd probably count as not pawns because they are to unstable to rely on as anything other than fodder.Outcast107 said:
Then there's Ciaphas Cain, now that's a Marine worth emulating... if you ever become a marine. He's the most open minded, free thinking individual you'll ever encounter in the 40k written lore, and he's a coward to boot!
Caldor Draigo is a badass, He took on a 10000 year old Chaos Corrupted Primarch. A Primarch. Yeah nuff said. A spacewolf because i'd love some canis helix, and BT because well They tell the imperium to fuck off and pay pretty much zero attention to the codex astartes.Scytail said:
