Worthless Bumsthis is a funny excerpt and more or less makes me think terminator armor allows them to fire like fo76-style vats
just point at where the fucking suit telemetry tells you and pull the damn trigger xD
i feel like their disdain for long range precision shooting will be their downfall if my rifleman detects them far out
also how much ammo does a space marine carry
i feel like they waste a lot and cannot possibly physically carry much
SPACE MARINE SPRUES COME WITH BOLTER MAG POUCHES AND SHIT
PLAYERS JUST DON'T USE THEM??? LOLOL
i've reminded myself that fallout lasers in lore are actually ridiculously powerful, and would not actually just poke a tiny hole in a space marine
like one wastelander with a laser pistol would gib a space marine level of overpowered
honestly the biggest problem here is that i have high charisma and intelligence and i should be able to roll to convert the space marines to my side
because fuck the emperor
also like i didn't build my current character this way, but what if i went full strength/endurance/agility build
like i literally rip deathclaws apart with my bare hands
what if i'm a walking uber ork in human skin and they don't even know
realizing a lore accurate assaultron might be able to squad wipe space marines
i found a massive post about space marine feats lol
https://np.reddit.com/r/Thevexarecool/comments/jbsqpz/respect_space_marines_warhammer_40k/
space marine spit is acidic and can burn through human tissue
apparently this is book lore canon
some of these feats are not even possible, and are just the authors being weirdos
alright this one is problematic lol
again, makes no sense, but whatever. fine
so that round going through your helmet is still going through your helmet?
fine by me xD
there is a story about an unarmored space marine literally face tanking a heavy machine gun
i am going to disregard that because the power level of that instance far exceeds even the other batshit anecdotes
it would be like writing a novel where batman arm wrestles superman and wins
no tricks, no preparation, author just decided batman needed superman level strength for some reason
their armor is weak at the joints. this is painted as a plus because a marine got shot in the knee and stumbled but recovered
the point is your armor has weak points even beyond your eyes tho xD
there is a story about a space marine annoyed instead of injured when someone explodes his flamer and sets his head on fire
i simply wish to point out that in an official warhammer episode a blood angel had his flamer explode and he literally lost his left arm lol
in that show their captain also lost his left arm and there's a funny moment when they meet
two armored space marines, having lost their left arms
a lot of these feats are just the authors not understanding how like... basic physics works lol
is there magic in 40k. like for space marines. literal magic. because that's what you'd need
like consistently shooting a coin at 3km is not just space marines being super cool and having good sensors
there's... a lot to unpack in that kind of thing
being gyrostabilized like... no lol
i see why the 40k nerds say the bolter is like an automatic grenade launcher
these book authors are wild lol they treat each bolter round like a grenade
not a mini-grenade
like an obscenely big grenade
i am not going to even discuss the chainsword because that thing makes no sense
in fairness fallout has rippers and chainsaws xD
nothing about the bolter makes sense
it is just a magic weapon
it's supposed to be super efficient gyrojet futuristic bolter but also it's damn heavy and a normal person can't lift it
😖
there is literally no reason the bolter should be heavy
you literally designed it to be all cool so it doesn't have to be
imagine if star wars was like "oh yeah also the lightsaber is super heavy. only the jedi can wield it by using the force to lift it"
it's that level of wtf
so what you're saying is i can also kill you by shooting the weak point at your armor's neck xD
/r/warhammer40k: "we hate this. space marines are invincible and never die"
/r/40klore: "here's all the times they died to kitchen knives and shit"
so a common theme of space marines getting murked is a buncha people just burying them under bodies
in other words, drop a tank on them then stab their exposed bits
depending on author one might decide the space marine can pinky flip the tank tho
apparently a chaos marine got killed by an elevator falling on him
literally had an elevator dropped on him lol
i think a lot of this is on gw being terrible at numbers
like if gw tells you 50,000 space marines is wiping the floor with billions you don't wanna hear a space marine got murked with a spear
anyway, given how resource intensive it is to train and outfit one single ass space marine, the 40k universe should have developed fancy ass missiles to just target space marines at this point
yes that missile cost ten million money
it still cost way less than that space marine did
it's particularly bonkers given the scale of the warhammer universe
that cost is a drop in the bucket, and space marines are a finite, very limited, commodity
just blow them the fuck up
space marines would never survive in 40k
"i can run through walls and face tank heavy machine guns"
*drops a fucking nuke on you*
lasguns are significantly weaker than even civilian laser pistols in fallout lore
yeah i'm pretty sure i am gonna one round vats that squad down now
also lasguns can recharge... from solar? the fuck how long would that take xD
shouldn't a telekinetic psyker just be able to squish a space marine's brain from inside their skull
Kale @worthlessbums the answer is 'depends' :D
@DarkestKale was rewatching astartes and the psyker was holding up an entire ass space marine in the air, basically motionless
feel like that was rule of cool more than anything else
@worthlessbums on a different dice roll, that psyker would have shit out their own lungs, however.
Warp powers are... Reckless.
