What chapter would you want to be in? What company and squad type and what type of wargear would you take? Would you join the deathwatch?

Personally, I'd go BA assault marine w/ power maul and hand flamer.

I'm a lover, not a fighter...

Maybe I'd go with whatever one let me scrimshander badass designs on my skeletal hand.

I'd love to say Space Wolves but I hate having facial hair, I hate having long hair and at least half the sources say Wolves drink beer, mead is good but beer sucks.

I'd probably be part of a boring Ultrasmurf successor chapter.

I'd be dead, but probably an Ultramarine that way I could never lose a battle.

Imperial Fists Devastator, with a combi-flamer and a sword just in case.
I'd probably equip my squad with AT weapons and leave the infantry suppression to my boltgun-wielding squadmates.

I'd build as much fortifications as i could in my spare time.

Crimson Fists Tactical Sergeant with a Boltgun in one hand and a Power Fist in the other.

Edit: Maybe a Combi-Melta instead of a Boltgun.

Chapter: Void Kraken (my own made up chapter )
Company: 2nd Company I guess? My special snowflake chapter operates more on a "we don't have manpower or logistics so just make due" kind of model. Basically if your not part of the equivalent of the 1st company your in the equivalent of the 2nd company.
Squad: Assault Marines
Wargear: Power Lance, Bolt Pistol, Jump Pack.
Join the Deathwatch? I wouldn't refuse if told to report to Deathwatch but I also wouldn't volunteer.

EXTRA heresy.

Probably Salamanders. I like salamanders. And I would have the chance to go back home time to time, if I remember the fluff correctly.

Ultramarines hopefully second company to be adorned in gold.
Probably a tactical squad sergeant taking a combi plasma and a power sword to dual wield with my gladius when close quarters fighting

Wolfguard with a massive frost axe fighting alongside ranger blackmane.

I'd be a Blood Angel, so I could be a master painter, obviously.

Either Iron Hands because I want to work my way up to bring a Terminator (the robot dudes) Terminator (the rank in a space marine crater that gets to wear Terminator armor), White Scars so I can go fast, Salamanders so I don't have to slaughter civilians, or Blood Ravens so I can engage in sanctioned larceny. There are a lot of options.

My own chapter (UM successor) Combi-Grav, Power Sword and Meltabombs.

Probably whatever one that would be okay with me declining challenges. I've seen how that story goes.

Either a Grey Knight Terminator Sergeant with Force Sword and Psycannon

or

A Black Templars Assault Marine Sword Brother with Artificer Armour, Jump Pack, Power Sword, Storm Shield and Plasma Pistol.

So, who wants to be promoted?

For honor, right?

Am I healthy or do I have comparable health and stats in 40k? So If I am frail and sickly does that mean I am also that in 40k kinda sorta? Or is it just a choice to be a marine in any chapter?

That's a trick question, you are a SpaceMarinewhichmeansyouareawesome.

No Wolf Claw?

Carcharodon sergeant with a chain axe and plasma pistol. I would wreck house

Blood Angels, Flesh Tearers or BT. I'd be fine with being a in a tactical squad but assault would be ideal. I'd load up on gear, becoming an angry points sink of questionable usefulness. Jump pack, power sword, bolt pistol, melta-bombs and a combi-grav.
The most important thing is I get a stylish mk.VI helmet.

Preferably a Devastator Sergeant of the Salamanders, armed with a Signum, Boltgun and probably a Power Axe or Power Sword, in case something got too close for comfort.

Also would like to wear Iron or Maximus pattern Power Armour, or at the very least the helmet of one of the above.



Sit as far back as possible and direct the firepower of my brothers upon the foe.

If we're talking astartes in general I'd love to be a sorcerer/aspiring champ of the thousand sons legion, or possibly one of mortarions personal deathshrouds.

If it has to be loyalist I'd probably go dark angels, cause robes.
Or a soul drinker sarge would be sweet methinks.

I am going to go with either a scout sergeant or a devastator sergeant. I enjoy teaching people so the scout sergeants mentor role would work well for me, but its also a role where I can stay out of direct combat and increase my chances of survival. However I cannot help but feel I would surely die in some selfless sacrifice to keep my squad of youngsters alive. The lovable mentor always dies. As a scout sergeant I would probably roll with a bolter or sniper rifle.

I would enjoy being a devastator sergeant because again I am somewhat out of the most heated of fighting and can focus on supporting my squad. I would prefer a good old bolter and any power weapon I could get my hand on, but would prefer a sword. A combi flamer would also be really nice.

As for my chapter I would probably be an Ultramarine due to my own ways of thinking lining up pretty well with theirs. Also they have a stable geneseed with (I believe) no flaws in it meaning all my space marine genetic goodies will work.


Oh and if I could be a centurion devastator sergeant that would be cool as well.
