Who is the Greatest Space Marine?

[Hutchy_Bear]

roboute guilleman, the Ultramarine primarch is even more badass. he killed Alpharius, Primarch of the Alpha Legion AND he created the Codex Astartes. and even tho he was stabbed in the neck with a poisoned sword by Fulgrim, he survived by going into statis. and hes healing.

Or did he...

he did kill alpharius. with the Gaunlets of Ultramar to the face. POW!

Have you read Legion in the Horus Heresy series?

have you considered the book isnt right. the books are based upon events from the Horus Heresy, id didnt make it.

Actually the Horus Heresy series of books is writing what happened. They are to be taken as the truth as they need to get them checked by GW HQ before they can say anything. Seriously if you havn't read them then you need to - it is still ongoing but Legion by Dan Abnet gives some pretty big secrets about the alpha legion and Mechanicus by Graham McNeil shows huge implications about the emperor and his objectives.

I have to say, DOOM GUY as well. The first and only to face hell and survive to avenge the death of his bunny... *Sniff* poor little guy...

Leman Russ beat The Emperor in a drinking contest.

Leman Russ beat The Emperor in a drinking contest.

Considering how powerful the primarch's (and the Emperor's) metabolisms are, I'm surprised that drinking contest ever ended. They didn't need to sleep, they could eat ROCKS, and they're immune to most poisons. How the HELL did they get drunk?

 

[Aunel]

Uhm... This is pretty simple, folks.

The Emperor.

/thread

yeah, the emperor can be the best space marine, but he is more a "god"

I would say Sanguinius, just because I play blood angels

 

[Go on]

Black Templars

/thread

but why is there even a thread about this it's obiously MEGAMAN

Dan Abnett wrote 2 of them. It is a series chronicalling the Horus Heresy and the events at that time from different perspectives (i.e Luna Wolves, death guard, imperial guard. These have been written by several authors (meaning that it is not too long a wait for the next one. These books are not only awesome reads but are not fluff either, i.e. what they say goes.

He defeated an avatar of the Eldar war god in single-handed combat, held a gate for a day and a night against an Ork horde ALONE and led the assault against a Tyranid Hive Ship. He is Chapter Master of the Ultramarines and Lord of Macragge. And total fucking badass.

All of which is canceled out by the utterly silliness of his tiny, tiny head.

AND he's got a serious case of the headtubes. Which is like the herpes of 40k.

...yep I know I'm gonna be flamed but honestly the best space marine right here. Otherwise though I'd go with Ellen Ripley.

he isnt a space marine, he isnt wearing any armor, he doesnt have balls, he isnt suposed to even be on a battle field, he is treated as a god, whereas he should be treated as a regular person, the tidalwave of shit that disqualifies Master Chief from this list is so huge as to not be remotely funny, and that isnt even counting the fact that we already desided he isnt allowed

... and there came the flaming. I knew it, yet I said it anyway.

Okay for starters are you blind? He is clearly wearing armour as that's all you can see? Second.. no balls? That's something a thirteen year old says about a guy in High school who picks on him, I can't imagine you actuall having a personal grudge against a fictional character so I'll disregard that. He is clearly meant to be on the battlefield as he was part of a program that bred him and others like him soley for the sake of BEING a super soldier with no other purpose EXCEPT the battlefield (Vrex sighed at the depth of nerdiness in that statement). Next up please explain how he is treated like a god, he is considered a super powerful highly trained soldier as that's what he is... in fact these days people like you flaming with misguided attempts at insults are much more common so the idea that he 'is reated as god' is absurd. He shouldn't really be treated like a normal person either as he's a video game character not a person.. a video game character who does Marine-like activities usually in Space... *gasp* like a SPACE MARINE. So where is this tidalwave of shit that disqualifies him exactly? Finally if he wasn't allowed on this list I said Ellen Ripley as a secondary. So if my opinion offended you so deeply then ignore it instead pretend I said Ripley. Sorry if I didn't realise he wasn't allowed in this thread I must have missed the board meeting.

Note: However if you don't think he's the greatest marine and disagree then I can respect that, however you can't just spam my post with ridiculous statements without expecting some kind of reaction.

he is shown with armor, but the game doesnt treat him as though he has armor. and only pussies need full body combat armor, or Gears of War snipers. and we banned MC a while ago

Anything from the Warhammer 40k mythos.

That one guy from starship troopers who gets his arms and legs torn off.

SHUJUMI!!!

 

[Zamaris]

See my picture over there <? Then take a guess

I don't care who you are, this man right here wins. He wins twice as hard if he's listening to doom music right now.

I'm not even sure that Star Trek (or Star Wars, for that matter (edit: I have found a refernce to marines in Star Wars, according to the [url-http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_marine]space marine wiki[/url])) has anything that would constitute a 'marine' in the context we are talking about.

There are specialized commandos in Enterprise, with rifles and body armor and their own command structure. They're basically filling the classic "marine" role (you can't really talk about whether someone is filling the modern American "Marine" role when there are only a few squads of them).

Fenrisian Ale the only alcohol strong enough to get a space marine drunk


Bjorn the Fell Handed for someone that was a bog standard marine at one point

out of the primarchs it has to be Vulkan

 

[Mrsoupcup]

My obvious first choice would have to be the Doomguy.

What's yours. Can be from either a game or a movie.

If you post anyone other than a space marine the you will ridiculed to the fullest extent of our abilities.

Sigourney Weaver in Aliens. (Can't remember her characters name)

 

[Emperor Inferno]

My obvious first choice would have to be the Doomguy.

That's what I was going to say.

And I do love Halo, but please nobody say Master Chief. He is not a Marine. He is in the Navy, I guess he might be a SEAL (since he's combat, not a regular sailor)
