Can they get drunk?
while im asking can they have children?

No and no.

They have one (or even two or three, I can't remember) organs that process toxins and any other thing out of the ordinary, right out of their system. Oh yeah, that and they have NO sex drive as they are no longer even really men, in the biological sense of the word. they are biological fightening machines and their soft/wet ware is tempered through religious fervor.

Now IG on the other hand...

So, how many Sisters of Battle have killed IG troopers for making inappropriate suggestions?

it probably depends on the chapter. a genetically pure marine would not be able to get drunk as he would have a organ implanted that would filter toxins. However some chapters organ may of stopped working, as different chapters have lost different organs over the years.

however the second question is completely unanswerable, chances are no, as space marines would probably have impure thoughts erased by hypno training, and would probably crush any poor woman they were to try and mate with.

finally the black carapace is described as being stitched under the majority of the skin on the body, and that probably includes the genitals.

I don't see the genitals getting the black carapace as the carapace is there to reinforce the skeleton and internal organs as well as providing points to plug into power armour.
I see the carapace as going behind the genitals (assuming the genitals aren't removed). Marines don't need armoured wangs after all, maybe chaos is different but who knows.
In fact I think the genitals would be removed and a socket placed where they were and another for the backside to make it easier to hook up waste removal/recycling when in armour.

That is sig-worthy

Yeah, those cheeky insqusitors only likes to hire girls with huge jubblies into their ranks!!!! Must be a practical joke on rest of humanity within the imperium

The fact that there's so many Slaanesh marines suggest they might still have somthing there. Or maybe they are all just into the whole "one guy one cup" sort of thing...

Maybe part of the charm of joining Slaanesh is that they get all their toys back and more. Anyway you're talking chaos here, they could turn marines into 8' walking dildos if they wanted; it's just not very practical.

1st question: Yes and no. As mentioned above they have organs implanted in them to filter out toxins. Alcohol is a toxin.
However, the Space Wolves are pretty big on drinking. I remember someone mentioning a bit of fluff where they eat/drink a special herb that can disble the organ temporarily. They also said that they read Fenrisian ale can knock an Ultramarine out, complete with a hangover.
2nd question: No. Although I'm sure they can have sex still.

They would probably accidentally rip the women apart.
And I don't think they can have babies.

You mean like this....

space marines. to manly for a penis.

Great, now I have "right said fred" singing "I'm too sexy for my *****" in my head with a bunch of dancing Marines.
Cheers guys

"GoFenris" and "Combo" pretty much nailed it.

The Marine groin area become redundant during their initiation to becoming a marine and the process also dulls or removes the aspect of their mind for sexual desire and the such.

As for getting drunk, like most people said, Marines have an organ that removes toxins from the body. Therefore if the Marine in question had a fully working organ then they would either have to drink a quantity great enough to overload/flood their system in order to feel any effects or the drink would have to have some kind of additive in it that prevents the organ from filtering out the toxins.

But my guess is either a malfunctioning or lack of toxin organ would be the only logical way for Marines to get merry.

I say that SM can get drunk, and when they get drunk they can have babies. All they do is go around in a drunken stupor and steal babies from houses. Would you stop an eight foot tall, drunk, armored, and buff guy from stealing YOU'RE child?

What they do with the baby afterwards is unknown, but most marines will wake up and wonder why the hell there's a baby in the barracks.

I disagree with the drunk thing (unless it's a Space Wolf) but your "stealing babies" argument is sound.

In times of war the recruitment age gets lower and lower

"In the Grim darkness of the future there is only war ... ... and a short supply of nappies"

I wonder who gets stuck with diaper duty?

A)Neophytes(training for the SM retirement home)
B)Sisters of Battle(should have at least some mothering instinct left)
C)IG( will change the diaper only to have a SM come in and throw the diaper away and claim that he was the one to change the diaper)

what would happen if a slangesh marine rapped a sister of battle

A kinky gangbang would ensue with all sorts of toys being used.

The slannesh Marine would wake up with a huge hangover and see the Sister of Battle and say "you looked so much better before my beer-goggle vision"

lol

Didn't the old SW fluff have Leman Russ and the Emperor get into a drinking contest, which Russ won?

Holy...those are some scary guys.

I was thinking more like this though:



It's from an old cartoon movie called 'Shame of the Jungle'.

Drunk no...

But on the baby part I see no reason to remove the man parts, testosterone is a big part of muscle development and the ability of men to be aggressive/violent, it is what fuels men and the genitalia is where it come from, as for possible conditioning it out, maybe, but that would seem a waste, you want your most powerful and successful males breading to improve the species and cultivate that which make a space marine... but maybe that is why in the 41st millennia mankind is slipping?

Or they have testicular implants in their brains.
