It's more that Dan Abnett is obsessed with ginormous characters (Freudian?). I don't look to him for accuracy when it comes to Space Marines in particular, since his stuff on them reads like fanwank. None of them are really 9-10 feet tall.

I dunno, honestly, Dan Abnett tends to write Space Marines dying like bitches, relative to some of the other writers, IMO.

Not just in Gaunt's Ghost either, remember Horus Rising? When a single bolter round punched through the chest plate of a Marine and killed him? Yeah.

They're big, but not that OTT most of the time IMO.

Really? I refer you to Brothers of the Snake, the most over the top presentation of Space Marines ever.

In the Abnetverse, Space Marines die like bitches only to other Space Marines. It's not a put down, it's a compliment. Space Marines are so fething badass they can punk even a Space Marine! Derp.

Never actually read it, honestly.

Does Eisenhorn cut through three Chaos Marines in a short span of time?

Well regardless It does reference certain marines that are still growing.

If by 'reference' you mean 'made up', then yes.
