My favorite space marine moment is when a crimson fist Marine lost his arm while fighting orks, one of his battle brothers Exclaimed "By Dorn You've Lost Your Arm!" To which he replied "No I haven't its right over there" he then pointed with his remaining hand at his missing appendage, buried under a pile of dead Orks

Only a madman knows no fear. A warrior knows what fear is, he feels it in his stomach, he understands fear better than any other mortal can.

Learn to live with that fear. Learn to master your fear. But never forget that there are things in this universe that even you cannot face and live, abominations so terrible that their very appearance will sear the flesh from your face and shrivel your eyes. Such things cannot be fought, and to confront them would be nothing but a futile waste of life.

[@TearDownGenesis]

Few points: Chapter Serfs are not indentured servants in all cases. In many they are failed aspirants but want to be there. Use of the Codex Astartes is entirely voluntary (at the chapter level) It also was not created along side the Astartes but after by one of the Primarchs (Generals) to help limit the power of a single Chapter. Prior to that a Chapter, then called Legion was 100,000+ strong and would be a much larger threat if one turned renegade. There are a number of chapters that do not adhere to the codex or only in some fashion. It is less "diverged" and just never accepted it.

[@alganhar1]

1) He mentioned that the Codex was created by Guilleman after the Horus Heresy, literally stated it in the video. Near the end when he covered the Heresy, which suggests you did not make it that far..... 2) And no, the Codex Astartes is not entirely voluntary, Chapters are supposed to, by law, follow the Codex to at least an extent. This is EXACTLY why the Space Wolves and Black Templars spend so much time hiding their true numbers for example, to avoid censure for straying too far from the Codex. A Certain amount of leeway is permitted, but BOTH those Chapters have gone well beyond their allowed numbers and would, if it could be proven by the Inquisition, face censure and penance at best, and possible extermination at worst..... Of course, what the Chapters are supposed to do and what they actually do often diverge, but if breaking the Codex by a considerable margin Chapters DO try to hide that fact, and that right there indicates beyond all doubt that it is NOT in fact voluntary....

[@TearDownGenesis]

@@alganhar1 Cite where by law they are supposed to? The entire Space Wolves chapter... is just the legion. It isn't hidden. Space Wolves and Black Templars are examples of this. Chapters that don't follow it can be viewed with suspicion or disdain but they cannot be sanctioned for not being compliant. 1. Many chapters are not compliant outside of total members 2. Numbers are also not something that receives sanctions. Cite an example where this has happened and not been related to actual warfare actions (like actual heretical behavior) @ point 1.... I never said he didn't. My point is at the start of the video he says it was created alongside the astartes, which is incorrect.

[@HolyknightVader999]

The Adeptus Astartes are a double-edged sword. On the one hand, they're a reliable super-soldier branch of the Imperium's military, the tip of the spear. On the other hand, each chapter does whatever it wants and follows the Imperial agenda on its own terms, and they can just as easily fall to Chaos and join the enemy, bringing all that technology and equipment over to the enemy side.

[@SkitariusNoKD]

They also vary heavily between noble heroes with the purest of souls (Salamanders, Lamentes) and complete bloodthirsting sociopaths with zero regard for human life (Marines Malevolent, Flesh Tearers) more often than not somewhere in the middle.

[@gregorygreenwood-nimmo4954]

Games Workshop has very cleverly added just enough noble bright to the grim dark of 40K to convincingly explain how the Imperium can survive the current travails of the setting. As terrible as the grim darkness of the far future is, the emergence of the Primaris Marines and the return of the Avenging Son ensures that hope for the future of humanity yet endures. People like to mock Guilliman, but among the Primarchs he is actually the best suited to oversee the regeneration of the Imperium and the restoration of its rule across the galaxy. The time of the Era Indomitus calls not only for a superlative warrior, leader, and strategist without peer, but also for a figure with the logistical, administrative and political skills of a nation builder, one with the ability and vision to reforge the Imperium into a more functional and efficient society. The architect of the governmental systems of Macragge and the 500 worlds is extremely well suited for those challenges.
