If you lived in the world of Warhammer 40k, would you be a space marine?

If I lived in the world of Warhammer 40k I would shoot myself.

It seems less painful than the myriad of alternatives.

Or basically an insignificant slave in the heaving, pulsating mass that is the Imperium. :3

The short answer is no.

The long answer is: Why do you hate people so goddamn much?

Space Marines are for the weak! The Imperial Guard crush all enemies who oppose them with their 2000 kg tungsten balls!

Mmm slaanesh.

@ Tom

Here's your flak jacket and las gun. Out there is a sea of Orks and in orbit are Dark Eldar waiting to capture you alive. Have fun!

Have the Imperium tried just letting their enemies try to kill each other? :o At least the ones where that is a possible thing to do?

Space Marine? Pshah. Sisters of Battle. What's NOT to like about killer nuns in power armor?

Aren't they all neutered? That kinda sucks out the fun.

Well the Sisters of Battle are supposed to be normal humans, so they wouldn't be... spayed?

@ Tom

You know what I always felt about the official canon description of the Imperial Guard? The number of soldiers is just too few!

God, no. Space Marines begin their training at adolescence and the way their bodies are modified essentially means that they are, mentally, 13-year-old boys forever.

That would be hell.

I'd rather be an Ork. I like Orks.

Orks do look like they live the good life.

In the grim darkness of the far future, for the Orks, there is only FUN.

Would I be a space marine?

Soo, I'd have to go through training that redefines hellish, get pumped full of genetic enhancements through invasive surgery, get half-grafted to a giant suit of Power Armor and swear loyalty to an empire of screaming mindless fanatics before being carted off to a warzone to get attacked by giant alien monsters that shoot acid out of every orifice or undead machines that wield disintegrator rays and wear your skin..

Hahahaha no. I'd go join the Tau. Their Mini-Mecha are cooler anyway. Or maybe I'd just randomly sprout tentacles because Slaanesh or Tzeench or someone thought it would be entertaining.

I'd be hightailing it away from the galaxy. Or try to, at least.

But they seem to know where they are going, the ones who walk away from Omelas.

It's war40k, those other galaxies are probably devoured by Tyranids.
