Xpwn3ntial said:I've seen some pretty good stuff here so far. Moving on, it hadn't totally crossed my mind the non-battle competitions that could be done that give the Warhammer 40k marines an advantage, but I was thinking something nonviolent. Oh, well.
I had another contest idea: interpretive dance contest!
Yes... after the ingestion of said root (I forgot the damn name). It's highly poisonous and taxes the Marine's oolitic kidneys to such a degree that they're rendered temporarily unable to filter out alcohol.Alkestes said:I also seem to recall that large quantities of Fenrisian Ale can manage to get a Space Marine drunk.Sonicron said:Best idea yet.Skarin said:Drinking competitions..obviously!
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).
No no, in the first Space Wolves novel, Ragnar drinks a flagon of Fenrisian Ale and it goes on to mention that it is stronger than most alcohol and that it could possibly get a Space Marine drunk.

Damn it, where the hell did I read that thing about the root? I can't remember... I have read all six Space Wolves novels, but if it isn't in there, where did I read it? ... Could it be that the root is an ingredient of the ale?

EDIT - Okay, I was a little unsure and curious, so I went and rechecked. Apparently the Fenrisian Ale is strong enough to get a Space Marine drunk...but it's only because the Space Wolves make it a point to consume enough to overwhelm their oolitic kidney. It is also to the point of poisonous to normal humans due to it being strengthened enough to manage to defeat the Space Marine constitution.
Haha, I read a little further and as it turns out, yes the root is an ingredient as well. xD It is also something the Officio Assassinorum harvested in case of an event similar to the Horus Heresy, to maybe give them a chance of fighting on slightly more even terms.Sonicron said:Damn it, where the hell did I read that thing about the root?

Well, since you've got the better source at the moment, you win. ^^
How about you get them playing football, then release a swarm of xenomorphs?HeySeansOnline said:Stick them all In a room with the original Space Marine enemy, xenomorphs. Whichever faction comes out alive wins. Otherwise I say football.
