Drinking competitions..obviously!

Compare sales figures for each Space Marine video game franchise.
probably the easiest way to go about it, has my vote

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!


I know they're not Space Marines, but the Spetsnaz would so win if they were involved.

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.
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.

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. With NO mention of said root.

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.

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? Damn...
Well, since you've got the better source at the moment, you win. ^^

Everyone knows that the space marines are nowhere near as cool as the space S.A.S... just putting it out there...

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.

I say we make them play the most annoying game based on their respective franchise and see who finishes first.

Stick them all In a room with the original Space Marine enemy, xenomorphs. Whichever faction comes out alive wins. Otherwise I say football.
How about you get them playing football, then release a swarm of xenomorphs?

AHA! And here I was almost doubting my memory... Guess we both win. ^^
Also, interesting tidbit about the Officio Assassinorum! Come to think of it, I just found out that the next Horus Heresy novel's been announced (after the upcoming novels about the Thousand Sons and the destruction of Prospero), and it's about the birth of the assassin cults! Yay! :)
