Hmm, Unite the world under my iron-fist?

[edit] artificer armor, jump pack, two lightning claws, melta gun
If that fails, I'd go 'fix' the middle east

Since he is technically a Space Marine, i'd be a Khornate Berzerker and would spend my day slaughtering innocents and sarcrificing their blood to the Blood God and their skulls for his skull throne.

And since it's only for a day, to further show my loyalty (and, you know, to not have to go to prison/a mental institute etc.) i'd cut off my head before 24 hours are up.

I'd attack the white house, just to see if they could stop me. basically I'd go on a death quest with the goal of wrecking house and dying before 24 hours was up.

I don't see that joint worship ending well for you. At all.

I don't see how a single space marine can conquer the world in 24 hours, especially when you can't fit in a plane.

I could choose terminator armour, but I still think normal power armour on a 8 foot marine would be suitably frightening when I knock on the front door of all those people who have teased,cheated,been rude to me over the years and then proceed to fire up my chainsword and lay waste to everything around them before laying some serious power armoured smack down on them! not that i'm bitter or anything!


and don't we think that maybe this entire thread should also be listed in the "you know when you play too much 40k when" thread :-)

Wow, so many choices.... Well, I'd probably be a Land Speeder Pilot, and zip around the world, just so I'd have a chance of seeing most, if not all of it, since it's likely I won't get to in my life.

And seeing as how I'd only be a Space Marine for a day, I don't see how trying to kill everyone in sight or conquering the world will do much good, especially when I lose those awesome powers, and the greater society ends up throwing me in jail once it's done.
