How should the Space Marines compete for dominance?

living peaceful lives.

40K marines can do that too, its stated that certian members of the Fallen have integrated into peaceful civilian life after deciding they didn't want to be full on chaos space marines.

I can't help noticing the absence of the Colonial Marines (EDIT: just to clarify I'm talking about the likes of Drake and co from Aliens). Surely they're just as Space Marine like as the rest of them (although arguably they aren't genetically modified super humans and so would probably lose at everything other than a "getting dragged out of shot screaming while having your leg chewed" competition).

40k's Spacemarines might have the edge though, the whole genetically modified superhuman edge. Everyone else kind of fades into the background when you're presented with a 8ft (or however tall they're meant to be) guy who has been alive longer than a lot of countries have.

A hunting contest!

Who ever can kill the most grass with just your mind wins!

 

[TimeLord]

Guitar Hero tournament! Winner takes all

 

[Kollega]

Rap battle.

Edit: Apologies in advance.


Yo yo yo
My name is Master Chief and I'm a space marine
My gun's automatic and my armour is camo green
You say I not a space marine? Man, don't be a hater
Hey, Blood Ravens, I'm teabagging your Primarch later.

This, sir, is comedy gold.

OT: Linedancing competitions! Ice fishing contests! Go-kart racing!

Oh wait, i know! The ultimate challenge! Find twice as much of beat-up space cruisers as there are contestants. Then find one Lombax repairman. From there, it's one-on-one repair challenges versus said Lombax. Hint: the prize is most likely not going anywhere.

Release a pigeon and equip them with biplanes.

I think it should be a who is a better man competition. something like bow-tie tying or guessing a woman's cup size at glance

 

[KrakFoxx]

I cant think of any contest other then 'least mangled body' which 40k marines would ever lose.

a contest against tyranids, the contest would be "who can look the most like a tyranid?"... might be a bit unfair actually...

 

[Mr.PlanetEater]

Which ever group can perform the best rendition of Rock it may be dubbed the winner, should their be a tie. The two teams would be stripped of all armor, and space technology and transported back to WWI where they must stave off Trench foot for two years, and then be transported to the 1700's and be exposed to Typhoid fever and not die.

Stick them all In a room with the original Space Marine enemy, xenomorphs. Whichever faction comes out alive wins. Otherwise I say football.

actually the original space marines' enemies were bugs. (starship troopers)

Unfortunately in a physical and/or mental competition the Astartes would be ahead baring miracles as that was how they were made.

hmmm outside a round of russian roullette (with a cannon just to be sure) I don't know a cleanliness contest ...

edit:

Drinking competitions..obviously!

Compare sales figures for each Space Marine video game franchise.

truth be told this and a popularity contest would be the best competitions IMO

But tyranids arent space marines! So thus the competition is invalid, giving the marines yet another win.

Drinking competitions..obviously!

Best idea yet.
This would also prove the absolute superiority of the 40k marines, since those guys can't get drunk due to one of their surgical modifications (unless they ingest a certain highly toxic root which temporarily makes them susceptible to the effects of alcohol).

I also seem to recall that large quantities of Fenrisian Ale can manage to get a Space Marine drunk. But by large quantities, I mean like a swimming pool.

 

[wgreer25]

Jello wrestling.

 

[snow]

They should enter that "No Fapping" contest thread I stumbled across on here a couple days ago. May the best marine win!
