No they don't. Space Marines don't have speakers on their chests. And they're bald. And they have bigger shoulder pads.

He's got a mind like a steel trap. By which I mean it can only hold one idea at a time;
it latches on to the first idea to come along, good or bad; and it takes strenuous effort with a crowbar to make it let go.

The look like armored future soldiers. I don't see any resemblance to actual GW models, beyond the fact like all armored future dudes, these guys are rather scowly.

like all armored future dudes, these guys are rather scowly Ah, the backlash of the great botox plague of the 27th century. Nearly fifty years of no-one reproducing because they 'couldn't tell if he/she was looking at me funny' nearly led to the extinction of the human race. Funnily enough, humanity was only saved by the 2648 AD fashionistas making giant chest-mounted speakers spouting 'YES I LIKE YOU WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE MY ETCHINGS' fashionable. All praise to St. Vidal of Sassoon!

The greatest similarity to SM that I see is that in both pics combined, only one guy is wearing a helmet.

Gears doesn't have a legion of fanboys b!tching about spending sixty bucks on a game that they can beat in nine hours. Kind of like 40K fanboys do with GW prices.

At risk of making myself look like a fanboy, I felt great about spending that $60 after I played the game.

Whoah, no need to bring Heinlein into this...his suits looked like apes.  But yes, I do agree otherwise. GW totally invented powerarmor and justice should be swift.
"Space Marines are not bald! who told you that?" The same guy who advised me to go to the Tau for hair treatment.

thatwhy tau are almost bald. Because the imperium harvests hair plugs from them to give to the bald space marines.
In order for tau to grow more, they need to be left with a lock of hair to encourage other hairlings to sprout as well.

Leet speak is the dumbest thing ever about online gaming goobers...
Gears of War is a fresh game though. Played a bunch of it while I was on annual 'year end' vacation back home.
