1) Are there any pictures of Space Marines without their armor on? I would assume they don't wear it when they're just on the ship, waiting to get to their next destination... Though I could be wrong, I suppose.

2) Is there any source on what the "bridge" of an Imperium warp-vessel looks like? I understand what the Navigators do and everything, but I don't quite know how that's situated... Does the Navigator have a special room or something? Is the Navigator "driving?"

When they're in transit or 'on break' they tend to wear a simple hooded robe or surplice. Think of Forge World's Inquisitor Lok for this...just 'bigger'.

2) Like a bridge? There's a few drawings from the Battlefleet Gothic books, but I don't have easy access to them.

It's basically laid out, from what I remember, like the bridge of a Star Destroyer. The Navigator part gets you the answer of "what size of ship?".

they usually consist of the Captain being on a large chair in the center which is the ships helm.

the Navigator's compartment is next to, or directly above, the captains chair.


this is in the middle of a large deck with rows of cogicator interfaces manned by bondsmen and/or servitors.

there may be several levels of these interface modules depending on the size of the ship.


the Navigator's compartment has a window to the outside of the ship for observation of the warp that is only visible from inside the compartment.

the bridge will have large observation windows that can be closed with heavy shutters.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/367243/2773513.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/367243/2773513.page GMT Two Space Marine Fluff Questions
"Like a Star Destroyer" is pretty much the answer I was hoping for, thankfully. I figured there'd be a bunch of servitors milling about on the lower deck, and the Navigator in a special raised room above them.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/367243/2773556.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/367243/2773556.page GMT Re:Two Space Marine Fluff Questions

thats currently, but the ships are quite capable of carring many more marines then that.

a Strike Cruiser has the capacity to deploy an entire company by Drop Pod at one time. the actual transport capacity in the hold is much larger.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/367243/2774422.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/367243/2774422.page GMT Two Space Marine Fluff Questions

He does,but beware of some blokes on Warseers who shout their ears and go "lalalala" if you show them things like this picture.

Thanks for the help.


1) Dark Angels Codex, by the entry for Azrael: You see a dead marine in the nude.

2) Depends on the ship... If you want a picture of a Battle Barge:
