But that's hardly fair, Skorge is like ten feet tall.

Don't forget the leaping-around-like-a-genestealer-on-crack part... I'm pretty confident he could easily dodge the bullets.

@Cheese: It's not about being fair though... It's about who or what could rape a marine 1 on 1. In this case, Skorge is the 350 pound bodybuilder hardened criminal serial rapist, and the marine is a skinny 18 year old named Bubba, who has a 'reel purty mouf'.

you seem to be failing on the whole genetically enginered killing machine aspect of the marine im thinking your looking at rules as written not fluff for the marines

Tsar bomb

In response to the jedi argument:

I'm definitely not forgetting the 'genetically engineered killing machine' part, and I'm not going by rules at all. Skorge would rape a marine in a 1 on 1 fight. Maybe not a 'named' marine, like a chapter master, but a typical marine? >.<
RAAM could take a marine too. I imagine he's equivalent to a plague marine terminator. Big, bulky armor, wrist-mounted heavy machine gun (storm bolter), his fist probably qualifies as a power fist, and he's got that swarm of kryll (read: flies) protecting him from projectiles.
And no, none of that had anything to do with game rules. There are no plague terminators, for one thing...

Sure there are.

Not rules-wise. There are Nurgle-marked ones though.
(I suppose you could count Typhus, but he's a special case.)

NO THE ONE PERSON WHO COULD KILL A SPACE MARINE IS AIZEN FROM BLEACH

SERIOSLY NO ONE CAN KILL AIZEN FROM BLEACH NOT EVEN THE EMPEROR

AIZEN FROM WOULD KILL EVERY THING

Its got to be a Jaffa from SG1, just zat the space marine then when he is down staff weapon till his armour gives!!!

Or a goa'uld controled space marine.

Failing all these a Irish Army Ranger (Irish special forces)

A mary sue.

Eva Unit 00, Eva Unit 01, Eva Unit 02.

All of the Angels.

To take down a Space Marine? Hmmm...
I don't think you could do it from the front, if he was watching his lines.

You'd have to outflank him. But, surely that would take some kind of tactical geniu-

CREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!!

RAAM could NOT take out a space marine compared to skorge RAAMs a pussycat and skorges' double-edged chainspear could cut through a leman russ.

and LEEEERRRROOOOOYYYYY JJJEEENNNNKKIIIINNSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Vin Diesel could easily take down a space marine.

Point of reference: He defeated the EMPRAH! (of another alternate future) and killed a man with a tin cup.

Technically, it is the Lord Marshall, but damn if Riddick didn't look Warhammer inspired to begin with.

Oh yes, he was also a giant killer robot that withstood a nuklear explosion.

Anyway, let's see a space marine deal with that!

he'd be absolutley shattered afterwards but then again...

"it doesn't matter if you win by an inch or a mile winning is winning"

A lot of people are forgetting that in the lore, a space marine can take the pin out of a krak grenade, eat the gernade, throw the pin at somebody, and the pin will kill a grown man while the space marine won't get indigestion. They are Nerfed haevily for gameplay.

Nerfed in gameplay, but they suffer the Chuck Norris effect in the minds of many gamers, like you for example. Space marines are strong but they're not immortal. They are not gods. And I very much doubt that a marine could survive a krak grenade exploding inside of his body; that's just ridiculous. There are books out there, written by reputable authors (Dan Abnett, even!) that give us a pretty good idea what marines are capable of.
Also RAAM could most certainly take out a marine. Maybe not every single time, but certainly 9 out of 10 encounters would go in RAAM's favor. You seem to be forgetting that he has a giant living shield protecting him from any projectile attacks, and even without the kryll he can take multiple exploding arrows to the face without dying. (the torque bow's arrow, minus the delay from penetration to detonation, seems very close to a bolter shell in terms of effect. If anything, it seems more powerful when it explodes.)

Sorry, but if I recall correctly a Zat doesnt even always take down a Jaffa, or atleast they sometimes get back up soon after.

But I'll go with Jack O'neill he could pwn a SM any day.

Daniel Jackson, the SM will kill him and he'll ascend, then proceed to wipe out every SM chapter in EXISTENCE!

why has no one stated the obvious the only thing which can kill a Spacemarine is another Spacemarine of a different flavour lol

Delta from bioshock...plasmids don't count as psychic....

bees+lightning+drill

Winter Blast + Drill Rush would work better, I think. Bees would be ineffective against a space marine. However, I think if Delta started from far enough away the bolt shells would take him down before he was in range to Rush.

For a standard marine probably any drone from the Culture.

For a named Marine any combat orientated drone.

For a Chapter Master/Primarch, any drone from 'Special Circumstances'

Some still have their bike helmets on.

hey if bees work on big daddies and big sisters they can work on space marines... homing bees of attack doom are awsome
