Obviously this is a bit (read 'very') Fluff Nazi but if i see another bearded blood angel model i will off myself. Facial hair makes space marines look too human and aside from the more feral chapters beards should be the preserve of the rugged imperial guard. I am not even sure it is in the fluff TBH but i imagine the space marines either genetically have no body hair as it wastes hormones or that they ritualistically shave themselves, as is common with warrior cultures in history.

In addition to being wrong about "warrior cultures" not having facial hair, you need to relax as you pretty much have no proof whatsoever and are generally pulling this out of your ass.

He shall henceforth be known as Ragebeard, who was so angry upon being told that he looked like a fresh faced scout that he spontaneously grew a beard.

**KingCracker**

Firstly, Orks with beards, those are called chinsquigs, just an FYI, as all hair on Orks are some kind of squiggly beast

And OP - why the hate on beards? *strokes beard* Im curious? *plays with beard* Do you have this unbridled hatred for chinsquigs because a bearded man fornicated with your mom? *brushes beard* I NEED ANSWERS! *BEARD RAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*

**StarShade**

I have to say im not liking any anti beard sentiments, every man has a right to grow some face fluff!

Am i right in thinking that the original poster was suggesting only 2 chapters out of 1000 should have beards? Surely the origin/culture of the chapters recruits should have an impact on wether they grow facial hair or not.

Personally ive given loads of my marines plastic marauder heads and they have all kinds of bum fluff.

**BuFFo**

Real men have beards, and the Space Marines are the Zenith of real men.

All Space Marines should sport beards.

This is why Squats rock. 99% of GW staff are tall white nerds who MAY hit puberty when they are 40, so in their jealous rage over Squats having full, 3 foot long beards, GW nerds in charge destroyed them.

Beardhammer 40k. Destroy the clean shorn faces of Chaos my Brothers in Arms!

It's kind of ironic that you say that, because when the Squats were actually out, Jervis Johnson himself not only had a beard, but looked the very epitome of a real life Space Wolf. IIRC, others of the studio also sported facial hair in those woebegone days.

Yer if you actually look at pics of the GW creative teams at the time it looks more like a group of metalheads waiting for iron maiden than an group of nerds queuing up at comicon.

What do you mean you don't like beards?

Mr Blessed would like a word...

Damn straight!! I'm gonna put fros on my Tau, even the battlesuits will have fros!! BATTLEFROS!!!!! And there's nothing anyone can do about it!! MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

If someone wants to try something different than what's on the box, so be it. It's part of the hobby-thing.

**ChronoCupcake**

Space marines are all based on geneseed from the primarchs who are men, men all have facial hair some men choose to shave... others dont ?. While some chapters may have aesthetic tendencies to trim it short and pull of a rugged look (blood angels), there may be situations where they cant pull out a razor and shave i.e if there in a long drawn out conflict. Not to mention its not like its written in the codex astrates though shall not grow thine mustachio, its really only a matter of personal taste.

**Wardragoon**

I want to see some people put beards on Eldar and Helmeted SM

Yes, helmet beards. Or even just helmets specifically for beards.

Gaga has beaten us to it again.

**Wardragoon**

gahh I cant see the gaga pic lol

**Guitardian**

When will someone get around to the asymetrical facial hair style? Moustache on opposite side of sideburn. SO very rock it hurts.

**Wardragoon**

I just had the most awesome idea(s) NECRONS WITH BEARDS or possibly better yet DREADNOUGHTS WITH BEARDS!!!!

**Melissia**

I want to see a Marine whose head is modeled after Gordan Freeman.

Battle-Brother Freeman and his Power Crowbar of Doom. Glasses and beard included.

Must have a proper color scheme to match.

Lol.

He just walks up to the enemy and says "I am Morgan Freeman", and the enemies all fall over in a swoon of awesomeness. Sam Elliott has personally conquered many planets back for the Imperium using this method.

**Mukkin'About**

I believe this man would like to have a word with you!
This is a beard that merits inclusion on a model!

**Mr Nobody**

Does anyone have examples of bad looking beards being modeled?

**Shenra**

Dude...I'm no fan....but I'm surprised no one mentioned that.....

Chuck Norris has a beard!

lol

**Melissia**

Chuck Norris can go [mutters something inappropriate for this forum for a minute or two]... and then whistle for a baboon.

Anyway, if we're talking about epic beards, someone needs to make a Lincoln bearded Marine.

**Ailaros**

I've made a couple of Lincoln-bearded guardsmen before. Of course, guardsmen look way cooler with beards that marines. Probably has something to do with the universally agreed upon fact that guardsmen are cooler than space marines

**btemple0**

I second the gordon freeman with power crobar, and I want to see one now.

Otherwise I will be forced to buy a terminator and make one for myself, complete with an Orange Box assorment of other goofballs for an army that does not make any sense.

EDIT: On the note of no sense whatsoever, I will be adding beards to all my genestealers.
