BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!

 

[teh_gunslinger]

I guess I'll say Halo, because I don't know Warhammer well enough and I never liked the marines from Starcraft that much.

Let me give you an example then:

Spoiler: Crimson Fist Space Marine

Yes, they're that awesome. Huge 8 feet (or 7?) genetically modified super humans with 4 lungs and 2 hearts, and they spit acid. They win this without any form of competition.

They do not spit acid, that implant organ is generally not used. I actually don't know any chapter that uses it. They do have implants that allow them to resist almost any poison; others that allow there blood to clot almost instantly to any wound, a reinforced skeleton, an implant that allows there armour to become a second skin and a few more implants or genetic enhancements that I can't remember.
If you're taking about Chaos Marines, then it's quite likely that some of them do, but it sounds like your just taking about loyalist marines.

Actually, they used to spit acid. But it might have been removed from the fluff. If only I could remember where the hell I read it. But as I said, they probably don't do it anymore.

Read my whole post and the ones after it, you can see that we already discussed this. There is an implant organ that allows them to spit acid called the Betcher's Gland, but it is not commonly used anymore. A chapter that does apparently still use it is the Iron Snakes Chapter.

I didn't mean to bring it up, had I known that the discussion had been done. Firefox made some strange thing so I couldn't see that there were that many pages. But you are indeed right that I misread your post. Sorry.

Yeah that kinda reminds me of the Starcraft space marines, more armour than actual person. I still like the Halo ones because they actually looked like humans fighting rather than hulking armour.

My only exposure to warhammer is the horus heresy series, and it is damn good. I am a huge fan of the universe, and look forward to expanding out into games and additional books. Halo leaves a bitter taste in my mouth after one sweet game and two shitty ones. Starcraft space marines are great, but overshadowed by better zerg an protoss stories and units. I'm not familiar enough with zone raiders to comment.

Even a novice Warhammer 40K space would pwn Master Chiefs ass 3 times in 1 second

I gotta give credit to the SC space marines, they are outnumbered, outgunned, and still make time to be smartasses.

Besides they are pretty much combinations of the 40k Space Marines (which, as previously stated, are awesome) and the Imperial Guard (who are also awesome) so I'll go with them.

Marines in Halo suck. Period. The chief doesn't count, as he is a commando not a marine.

Space marines from 40k are super soldiers with epic gear (Chainsaw sword ftw), so let's go with them.

Starcraft Marines are cool, but they are pretty useless without the stims or medics. I think they might be stronger in Starcraft 2 though. Dunno.

40K, just because of the massive Awesome field around them.

Black Templars in particular.

 

[maddawg IAJI]

Where are the Doom marines?

 

[Music Mole]

Where's the Doom guy?

Nothing is more powerful then the doom guy wielding the big freaking gun. Nothing i tells ya.

 

[WolfThomas]

Aliens Marines. Come on, you know you love them.

Damn beat me to the punch.

Alien Marines are truly the greatest marines, when you're a normal human fighting wall climbing acid blooded monsters you've got to be a badass.

Zone Troopers, nothing beats a railgun, nothing. Also, I never really liked the look of the 40K marines, just, ehh... I get why people like then, but I feel the gigantic metal suit takes away from the badassery, and I just don't like the layout of the colors and emblems on the armor, camo exists for a reason, and I like how it looks.

 

[iJosh]

I only ever seen the halo ones so...

I guess i have to pick that one.

cleanse Purge KILL!!!

You cannot go against the Emperor's Finest

Allow me to introduce you to Captain Shrike. Or, as some of my opponents have come to name him, "Freddy Krueger in Black Armor"

Who needs camo when you're bulletproof, carrying a chainsaw sword?

 

[irishdelinquent]

the Marine from Doom was the first. so hes my pick.

The marines from WH40k started in the 80s. Doom was released in 93. WH40K were the first.

Technically, the marines from Starship Troopers came before Space Marines. However, they are not as cool as the Raven Guard.

 

[ssjSephiroth]

Ive never seen any others aside from the ones from the Halo and Starcraft franchises, and of those, I'd say Starcraft wins the cool contest for looks alone, if nothing else.
