No, they don't.

That's what gave me the impression. Unless his casual pass was aimed at achieving groping and other non-sexual middle school play, maybe receiving some heavy petting or even getting to make out with her. Entirely possible as well knowing those darned Wolves.

Oh great and powerful fluff master please deign to explain yourself and maybe read my posts instead of just saying NO.

Well, you've jumped to conclusions there. A Space Wolf makes a casual pass, so they can sex.

What's the point of his casual pass? Hugs & Kisses? There are other examples anyway, like Leman stacking his court with the most beautiful maidens around...Though he was probably just being a jerk and hoarding that which he cannot use himself. He's Leman Frickin Russ, after all. But I'll see if I can dig out a few more...Shouldn't be too hard. Obviously, there's nothing explicitly going one way or the other since GW isn't in the business of Superhuman erotica. Maybe Slaanesh Marines are the only ones and only then with their icky tentacle Slaaneshy bits.

Fun? A joke? Yeah, you jumped to conclusions. Anyway, quote these other examples, because I can't see any.

Yeah, they're probably just all space eunuchs (Though there's no definite answer in the fluff as to whether they actually can sex or not and I for one am thankful for that) but the wolves still clearly have some sort of pseudo-sexual drive for whatever weird space viking reason. Anyway, it was a joke

But his casual pass led to the conclusion that the woman in question was not human so....

Raptors, Salamanders or Ravenguard.
They all kick ass!

Plus, Id love to be an angry marine!

If your sitting their saying "Space Wolves" and "Salamanders" and all that other gak, you gotta be nuts.

Ultramarines live in a plentiful, temperate, utterly loyal and splendid sector, where the citizens are well fed and clothed, live in peace, and chant their protectors chapter name with reverence that is lacking in other sectors.

If you say anyone else, ESPECIALLY the fether that live on DEATHWORLDS (the clue is in the title!)

Your basically saying..

"feth the air conditioned condo in London with broadband internet, SKY + and the big fridge full of beer, I wanna go live in hole in the arctic tundra/inside a volcano/mud hut in Somalia"

You guys!

If I were just a citizen, then I would want to live in Ultramar. However, this thread is about SM. All Space Marines live a life of space monks, with some deviances. A Ultramarines life is not any better then a Salamanders or Space Wolves (actually worse do to all the UM hate going around).
And the IoM gets some hard-assed fethers from Death Worlds. Look at Harker or Straken for example.

Out of all the fiction out there, that throw away line is the only "evidence", if a casual pass (which could have been something as benign as "well ain't ya a buxom wench" rather than "hey sweetcheeks, let's feth" like you're automatically assuming) could be considered evidence. Everywhere else, it is constantly reinforced that Astartes have no interest in that sort of thing, and in Prospero Burns the Space Wolves make it pretty clear that they consider mortals as barely above contempt.

I disagree. While their quarters are spartan, Ultramarines still get to live on a beautiful world with expansive Hellenic architecture, lakes, etc. From Prospero Burns, we get that Space Wolves spend their spare time sitting in dingy dark rooms playing board games and sniffing each other's butts.

Either a Word Bearer or Night Lord... Maybe not Blood Angel because I would have the Black Rage to look forward to

Deathwing Terminator

Well, if we're picking Traitor legions now, I guess I'd want to be one of the surviving Sorcerers of the Thousand Sons. Then I could do my own thing in my own ship full of lethal automatons completely under my control and do the Ahriman thing of starting cults, gathering artifacts, and seeking knowledge to become a new Chaos god.

Either Ultramarines or Imperial fists here, leaning towards Ultras. They actually behave with some tactical sanity.

Except IF have the added benefit of crunchy, siege-y goodness!

Ultramarines. That way I wouldn't have to secretly yearn that I wanted to be an Ultramarine.


SRSFAIC: Ultramarine. They are easily the safest Choice. A Small Empire in case the IoM goes Belly-up, no real Geneseed flaws.

Crimson Fists. Nothing like fighting alongside Pedro.
