Do tell
Um... Read the process of a human becoming a space marine
[QUOTE=Asm;17688919]Um... Read the process of a human becoming a space marine[/QUOTE]
I have, no where does it say that the knife goes anywhere near the balls.
Wouldn't testosterone help Space Marines fight, anyway?
[QUOTE=Asm;17688844]They cant have sexual intercourse.[/QUOTE]
Yes they can, they just don't because they have like 15 minutes to themselves each day and usually spend that in meditation/prayer.
Nowhere is it mentioned that they cannot perform the act of intercourse, now, whether that would actually work even if they did is another matter, considering the genetic changes that have been wrought.
I love the ork mentality though
"If we win, we win, if we die, we win, if we run away we can always come back for another go" and "Red wunz go faster"
The majority of orky Tech works simply because they believe it will despite what physics say.

Only the blood axes!
"it don't count as losing, cuz we can also come back for anuvver go, see?"

In one of the books I read some chaos legions might have sex with normal humans. And I'm not sure what I read about the dark angels.
Having sex yes, producing viable offspring from it though, unlikely.
Imagine if they added women as Spaz Mayraneers,
That just wouldn't fit

Giant-butch manbeasts. Do not want. Sisters of Battle will have to do.
Sisters of Battle is the closest thing to female space marines, period, even then they have no genetic enhancments and no implants, not even a black carapace thus their power armour is nowhere near as good as a marines.
The Sisters of Battle are literally nuns wearing power armour. Their faith is much more powerful (practically, not greater) than that of Space Marines, though - the Sisters of Battle have been known to resurrect Saints to fight with them. And Saints are, as you might imagine, stupidly powerful individuals.
Also,
Do Space Marines sleep?
Or do they eat?

And what about shitting?
[editline]03:49PM[/editline]
And pissing?
Yes, yes and yes.

SoB's and Marines venerate the emperor in entirely different ways.

Except a lot less strict, some orders do not require their sisters to take vows of chastity. (Though I imagine Sisters Repentia would be forced too)

I miss go fasta red paint... Did they just stop making that or did they change the name?

Which'll be the Nids, eventually.
I think it's "Red un's go fasta!" these days.
^ Red wunz go fasta.
Oh, thanks for correction.

How so.
[QUOTE=Uberman77883;17682791]There is no napalm.
Just leave the thread please, if you don't know about the fluff and try to that just makes things worse.
They use Promethium.

see now you're being a douche, i think he meant napalm like anybody means napalm, to burn shit
[QUOTE=RayvenQ;17681378]I think it's hypoctirical, telling Magnus to stop using his sorcerous powers, all the while still using his own, douche.

You forgot 15 Hours.
But yeah, there's an entire omnibus dedicated to Imperial Guard novels out there somewhere with another one in the works.

[QUOTE=Agent.Orange;17691754]Which'll be the Nids, eventually.[/QUOTE]
I dunno, in the novel Legion (Horus Heresy novel), a council of aliens dedicated to overthrowing Chaos tells Alpharius and Omegon that if they don't join Horus and ensure that the Imperium is crushed, the universe will enter a period of war for 10,000-20,000 years before the eventual victory of Chaos.
The 'Nids are tough but I doubt they have the seemingly unlimited resources of the Warp.
[QUOTE=Canuhearme?;17692257]How so.[/QUOTE]
Well, the SoB's are part of the ecclisiarchy and so worship him according to the Lecticio Divinatus, wheras the marines venerate him as the father of all of them
[QUOTE=RayvenQ;17690172]Having sex yes, producing viable offspring from it though, unlikely.[/QUOTE]
The Salamanders not only have sex but also raise families. It's entirely dependent on the Chapter and their geneseed.
Also, they are all black, but I don't think it really counts since they are obsidion black with glowing eyes due to their geneseed.
Though I have seen an African marine in a comic once. He was a Black Templar.

*Points to Ordo Hereticus* This would. A sister of battle would be like... a faithgasm for them.

Well, let me break it down.
They sleep, but not like a normal human. Their body shuts down, and parts of their mind, but they are still very aware of their surroundings.
Yes, they eat, and dispose of waste.

[QUOTE=RayvenQ;17691441]SoB's and Marines venerate the emperor in entirely different ways.[/QUOTE]
You can't really generalize. There are dozens of SoB orders and thousands of chapters, all different.
Yeah, the whole idea of the Imperium is of a race who have advanced technologically, but then suffered a massive, [B]MASSIVE[/B] ([I]massive[/I]) attack of religion, And i think that the genral idea is that the Tau are a the same thing, only a few thousand years behind. I mean, think about it:
New race, advancing technology, but no warp travel or huge civil war. As soon as they gain warp technology, someones gonna get corrupt. huge civil war, religion sets in, Tau verses chaos Tau.
And orks. always, orks.
Tau are space communists. :) So cute, when my hammer smashes their Fire Warrior skulls in.
