How To Become A Space Marine

[@thesnuggler9606]

I can defeat exactly two geese in a fight. If I became a Space Marine, I am confident that I could easily defeat three geese. All jokes aside, this was an awesome video!

SOMEONE GIVE THIS HERO A WHOLE ASTARTES CHAPTER TO COMMAND!!!

[@F0reman371]

Agri-worlds are also moderately popular recruitment grounds for nomadic chapters lacking a permanent settlement since the population on these worlds are usually more generically healthy than hive, medieval, or death worlds. (Classic farmboy archetype)

[@BastiatC]

There is also something about recruiting from agriworlds that ties really well into the monastic order vide of some chapters. I can totally see a dark angel chapter holding an agriworld demanding candidates from noble families as their tithe to the emperor, and stripping families of their title if the candidates prove unsuitable.

[@midgetydeath]

They tend to not be insane or have severely disturbing cultures and practices, too.

[@jaspertonnon1409]

Great video! Was actually looking for a vid that explains more in detail what all these organs are that go inside a Space Marine. I feel badass slaughtering Xenos scum when playing Space Marine 2, I think in the actual universe I would be already dead, a Servitor or be sweeping the floors somewhere lmao

[@MrKataklysm]

It's crazy that the Astartes are the peak of human capabilities, yet they get one shot by a Gauss rifle held by a simple necron warrior.

[@PhantomGato-v-]

Custodians do exist, and they're not called the immortal 10,000 for no reason

[@t1czer]

Space Marines are just peak, but cheaper. Cheaper to make than Custodies, sho are true peak of humanity.

[@PhantomGato-v-]

@@t1czer Space Marines, the Adeptus Astartes, have various issues that make them almost unfit to even be counted as anything but disposable soldiers. They're all male, unable to reproduce, generally lack human compassion, and were most likely meant to be terminated like the Thunder Warriors. It's a mess of irony that humanity, both in the 41st millennium and from an outsider's perspective, tend to think of them as perfect.

If sacrificing myself to safeguard humanity, then I'd gladly become a space marines. Hoping i recruited for the Imperial Fists or Salamanders.

[@Anunoriginalname101]

Sorry, best we can do is Marines Malevolent. ... What exactly where they thinking when they named that chapter, anyways?

[@Become-Eggplant]

@@Anunoriginalname101 I know! Also have you seen their color scheme? Its looks obnoxious, and its like they took the salamander's previous color scheme, and removed everything remotely good about it.

[@charlesgarber5911]

Yes, I would survive. A will like iron and the ability to suffer are two things that I've been gifted. I look forward to gaining the black carapace and thus donning the steel and ceramite of the chapters livery.

[@zaintaylor-malik4946]

shut up you fucking dweeb you’re not gonna be a space marine

[@thepunisherxxx6804]

Is limb regeneration a thing? With Primaris maybe? It mentions bone and tissue regeneration, yet I see marines lose eyes and hands replacing them with machine. Calgar becomes primaris and yet his eye doesn't regenerate. It feels appropriate for them to get a full on healing factor eventually. The goal is to have every biological advantage possible.

[@thefallencog]

Its thought that a form of "psudo perpetual" was created by the emperor when he created the physical forms of his sons, the primarchs. As Vulkan was the only one of his sons to inherit the emperor being a perpetual. while the rest are very mortal. Space marines could theoretically have limb regeneration because of the forge, but the process would take far too long because of the complexity of a space marines body. The Furnace's regenerative capabilities is more for regenerating heavily damaged organs in a pinch. Instead of regrowing limbs. Humanity *used* to have the technology to regenerate limbs before the age of strife. But that technology is long lost to mankind itself. It's usually simpler, and faster to replace a marines lost limb with a cybernetic implant. If they were to constantly try to regrow the limb with repeated manual activation of the furnace, it could put a marine out of service for years while it regenerates. Which is simply unacceptable since Chapters are limited in size. And out of commission marines still contribute to their cap. Although this is theoretical, as the furnace has never been shown anywhere in lore of being capable of regenerating limbs or even complex structures like the eyes. Its simply used to keep a marines organs from dying, and if the Lung place is pierced or broken, to repair it if its absolutely necessary in the moment. As the furnace is a manual activation type of organ. And it has a cooldown period. Funfact. The furnace is actually one part of the original geneseed used to build the Primarchs. But the other half of the design was destroyed, most likely by the emperor himself in the past.

[@thepunisherxxx6804]

@@thefallencog I like the idea of it being possible but taking too long, where you have an active need for the Space Marine, so you give them a robotic replacement so they can get back to the fight quick. I think it makes sense to have limb generation though given the level of biotech in 40K now. I know it was most likely around before mankind fell, but I still think it makes sense here, given all the crazy bio engineering that already goes on with Space Marines, cloning, etc. If it can work to regenerate organs why not other parts of the body? Narratively having it being possible but taking long gives some flexibility for maiming named characters but letting them get back to normal eventually later on. Great Sci-Fi lore. I'm still new to 40K, really enjoying learning more about it. Can't believe how broad and deep all of it is. Its all so interesting and fun and cool lol. It feels like a catch all "all the cool things guys are into" thing as simple as that makes it sound haha.

[@insertname9736]

​@@thefallencogthey could theoretically give them smaller and smaller cybernetic limbs as the organic limbs grow back. Like the robotic limbs being made of rings or something, and remove on ring as the limb grew back.

[@clutchboi4038]

Regen is definitely possible as well as having the adeptus machanicus growing new limbs in vats for transplant. But I think the new bionic limbs are seen as upgrades most of the time and the ironhands literally elect to get their healthy limbs removed to have bionics installed lol. But yes they are faster to implement too.

[@insertname9736]

@clutchboi4038 The Iron Hands are doing this due to an error in their gene-seed. It's more like body-dysmorphia. Cybernetics will be a downgrade for Astartes most of the time. They are just a quick replacement because they're better than nothing.

Do space marines get a 401k? How many vacation days?

[@Beaver.17]

I've seen some mention that certain chapters do their own version of "vacation". Salamanders apparently go back to their home world while not on mission and live amongst their families. White scars do some Mongol-like activities. space wolves do viking-like activities. I think ultramarines can do pilgrimages and the chapter as a whole returns to ultramar planets occasionally to resupply and re-bolster their numbers. I like to think that certain honorable battle-brothers get some R&R on paradise planets from time to time (maybe when they earn a service stud).

"It was said that a man's life was but a spark in the Darkness. By the time they were noticed, they had vanished, replaced by brighter and more numerous sparks. Uriel could not accept that. There were men and women who stood against the Darkness. Bright spots of light that stood against the inconceivable vastness of the universe. That they would ultimately die was irrelevant. It was that they stood at all that mattered." Uriel Ventris of the Ultramarines, Nightbringer Chapter 9

[@shaggycan]

The only real factor they are looking for is iron will unbreakablility. Everything else they can give you. They need someone who will never give up, no matter the odds or how much you suffer.

Depends on a wide variety of factors, right down to the color of the sun on whatever world they happen to be fighting on.

@@zinski8838 well, they also suffer from the genetic defect in their geneseed that results in an over-active melanochrome organ. A relatively benign one, when compared to most geneseed defects an Astartes could be inflicted with.
