Saw the question of SM flexibility arise in the humanoid close combat thread and I was just wondering if anyone had some fluff knowledge regarding the extremes of SM flexibility.

I'd think a SM would be screwed in a lot of the more impressive breakdance moves but I'm an IG player who never got into SM's so I know little about power armor characteristics.

They'd probably be quite good if they practiced, actually.

I think the canon is that Space Marine Power Armor doesn't decrease their mobility, pretty much ever. Maybe extreme acrobatics would be undoable, but that would probably be the kind of thing you would have to train a lot to do at all.

Terminator armor would have more trouble, obviously.

Anuvver fing - when they do sumfing, they try to make it look like somfink else to confuse everybody. When one of them wants to lord it over the uvvers, 'e says "I'm very speshul so'z you gotta worship me", or "I know summink wot you lot don't know, so yer better lissen good". Da funny fing is, arf of 'em believe it and da over arf don't, so 'e 'as to hit 'em all anyway or run fer it.

Space Marines could breakdance, if it was done in the Emperor's name.

I'd like to know how they deposit...Umm... Faeces. Is there some kind of tube? Or is there a bit in the Ultrasmurfs Codex that I missed? Oh, and pretty much every army should breakdance (especially Necrons).

Without armor: Probably

With Power armor on: "Hnnnggh, this stuff is heavier than it should be!" *example space marine barely pulls off an advanced manuver....but pulls it off.*

Termi Armor: *Thud*

Pics or it didn't happen.

As if on cue, you hear two people singing from the stairwell, and the door is opened and a pair of very smelly, very dirty guardsmen stumble in, completely drunk, and covered in vomit, and immediately collapse unconsious on the porch. You drag them to their beds, realising that they will not be waking up for some time.

Could a Space Marine breakdance?


Does the Tin Man have a sheet metal c**k?

Hmmm... For some reason, picturing a break-dancing Space Marine makes me think of this video. Break Dance melee FTW!

We're not very big on official rules. Rules lead to people looking for loopholes. What's here is about it.
