I want to know if anyone thinks a Space Marine could dance I personally could see some like that. I can see it now its a dark stage suddenly the music starts the lights start to come on slowly in the center stage you see a SM start singing and dancing I.... I just died in your arms tonight.... Take it away guys!

Modquisition reminder-trying to evade the word filter makes Frazzled angry. Don't me me explain why I've been nominated as "worst Mod ever."

No........Just no. Dancing is definitly not grimdark

Of course Marines can dance. There were even rules for it at one point.

No one got a kick out of this? Ah oh well it made me laugh thats what counts what could possibly be more grim dark than new wave music? lol

While I usually enjoy a little fun at the expense of 40k, this is a little too goofy.

What are you going for here, exactly?

Of course not.

SM's are all white from what I have seen, and everyone knows white men can't dance!



SM's would be rubbish at what we know as dancing due to their physiognomy but there may be some groove in the grimdark that they can get down too.

It's dancing Jim, but not as we know it!

mmmm not all of them, remind the salamanders, they are grimdark black men (black as my soul, and with red eyes!!!)


anyway, it can be funny, a dancing terminator....

The Melanochrome was retconned out of the list of Space Marine impants in 5th edition, but basically it allowed them to change their skin colour.
They can dance when they want to.

But can they leave their friends behind?

Let me make this clear.

Space Marines can dance but do not.

They eat children because it allows them to learn their memories.

Space Marines do not have friends, and you can never have a friend who is a Space Marine.

The only thing they leave behind is scorched earth.

Silly/nonsensical/joke threads go in the 'General Discussions' area of the forum.

So... moved.

Didn't know that Black Corsair

correction:
Salamandars can get down and shake their power booties to the funky grimdark beat. All other SM's are white and ain't got no rhythm.

Favourite songs must include "I lost my heart to a Staship Trooper" and "Mon Cherie Power Amour"

space marines can dance. over the bodies of their dead enemies. only then. only ever then.

Dancing is forbidden!

Dancing has always been forbidden!

I dunno
I reckon they have a sneaky Aggadoodoodoo every now and then when they think there is no one looking.

What about the Disco Marines?

i mean this can be seen as a goofy question, or you could look at it as if the question is really can marines go out and have fun, like off-duty when they aren't praying or in a warzone would they act like today soldiers, maybe going to a nightclub, or the nearby bar, or playing games like warhammer... i don't know. are marines all about praying and upholding their military skills, or do they get some time to do other things

Nope
none of the above.

They lie dormant in their little foam padded cells awaiting the next battle.

I think it was the 3rd edition codex that details a typical day in the life of an Ultramarine, where they have something like 15 minutes a day free time (which is strongly discouraged). So, judging from that, while they very well could dance and use that free time for dancing, I doubt it.

If by "fun" you mean "scour the xenos scum from the galaxy" then yes marines can have fun.

"scour the xenos scum from the galaxy"

That sounds more like cleaning the bathroom

xenos-b-gone, the #1 alien bathroom cleaner of the 41st millenium....

Killit Bang!! and the Xenos are gone!

15 minutes? There's only a few ways to entertain yourself in that amount of time. I assume that if they need to take a dump they can take time out of blessing their weapons and praying rather than their 15 minutes free time. In which case grab a newspaper and lock the door.

The Christmas Marines were both drunk and dancing, so we're no closer to knowing if they *can* dance or just roll around drunk like most people.

yes. only degenerate "modern" chapters allow 15 minutes of personal time though. The true sons of the emperor fight train and pray 24/7 (earth standard time)

and no they absolutely may NOT stop the ritual blessing of their weapons to take a dump, lest the spirit of the bolter be offended and cause the weapon to jam during the next assault. The marines must HOLD IT or crap DURING COMBAT MANEUVERS!!!
AF

Maybe they can, but they sure can ride:

HERSEY!

Vanilla Marines? No. NO DANCIN'!

Space Wolves? Maybe after a couple dozen drinks... Party!

Blood angels have their little emo cult sessions... and that actually cool death company chant.

Dark Angels... who knows?

BT? Noooooo.
