Its easily the ODSTs
They dont just walk in to batlle, the drop in a shell from a F**KING SHIP! (WTF?)
They are normal soldiers but still bad-ass.
They Dont like Mastercheif.
P.S. I like Halo but Mastercheif is the biggest idiot in all existence when it comes to any kind of common sense.

Dutch from Predator isn't technically a space marine (not being in space and such) but he's easily more of a marine then anyone ever to have lived.
Haha, I knew as soon as I posted it that someone would point to Heinlein. Yes, his troopers are the first. I was thinking more along the lines of 40k's concept of space marines being legions of men chosen for their elite physical prowess to be trained in the harshest conditions, brainwashed to serve the emperor as his sword, etc as my definition of 'space marine'. And the Sardaukar fit that mold better. Maybe it's because they operated in small squads and covered such large areas, that I never considered the Mobile Infantry as 'Legion'.Greyfox105 said:
If I had been thinking 'marine that fights in space', it'd have to go to the badass Mobile Infantry, each of them holding down several kilometers of Skinnies' terrain in their power-armor.
Er, wrong mythos entirely. He was refering, of course, to the God-Emperor sitting on the Golden Throne, his light shining eternal as the beacon of Man. Forever orienting Man in his struggle to master the galaxy and conquer the forces of Chaos.Woodsey said:
I didn't think about the numbers they field and loyalty they have when I was replying, but I see your point. I suppose 40K and others such as it do all borrow from Heinlein, but in the respects of numbers and fanaticism, they follow Frank Herbert. and the fact that they answer only to the (God)-Emperor. I think. I only read the first book of Dune. and the Film. the one with... wait, I have it right here... David Lynch's Dune. That is a good film.Kuranes Rex said:
I thought Samus was simply a mercenary, and not only worked along side armed forces if necessary.SwiftFlux said:
Anyway, I'm going to go with Ellen Ripley.
Major Tom said:
For all will tremble at my name,
all of man will give me life.
The friends that you once knew,
shall bring you to my plight.
for I will twist them to my deeds.
and i will tie them to this name.
Ties to heresy
Ties to death
to retribution and light
For when the worlds that you've denounced,
have risen from my corpse.
I will show you power,
you will see my might.
As all life marches toward their gruesome defeat.
And as you lay before me.
prostate at my feet.
You will find no mercy, and I shall stay my sword
Instead I will sing a song
a song malice and greed,
of vengeance and anger
blasphemy of truth
And from my gaping maw will cry a noise heard by all
for I will sing the song
the song that ends the earth
and you will sing along
Agreed.LewsTherin said:
I also like how those two first met. The Emperor went something like, "I am the Emperor of Mankind. I have come for you from beyond the stars. I am your father... and now I am your master." And Leman Russ responded by going, "We'll see who's boss after I've whupped your ass, old man. Put 'em up!"
Sure, the Emperor won, but note the sheer fucking epicness of the fact that Russ made the Emperor brawl it out with him with bare fists for several days before acknowledging his old man's supremacy. Pure win.
