Not trying to be a heretic here, but how do these Space Marine shoulder pads work? Assuming these things are made out of a solid matter and have no hidden hinges or telescopic edges on them, shouldn't they go inside your neck and shoulders if you lift your arms to the sides or raise them up all the way?
Only logical explanation I can think of is that there's a hidden mechanical system underneath the pauldrons that moves them above the shoulders when you lift your arms to certain angles, exposing your arms almost entirely. Not really practical or safe, but plausible, I guess.
Or maybe it's just inexplicable space magic that can't be explained.
Also, 40K thread.
Jesus has a penis lol
>inb4 exterminatus for questioning the truth
>>673061330
you can see in your picture that under the pauldrons that there's a part which looks like maybe the bicep of a part of the breastplate thats not fixed and looks like it'd rotate
>>673061880
So the entire pauldron then lifts up when you move a little?
>>673062443
looks like that would be the only way for it to work properly

Fan art of space marines is a mixed bag, and with terminator armor and above it gets completely ludicrous. Look at THQ's Space Marine for a good example of artists who have actually put some thought into how astartes could move about.
>>673063645
Black Templars or Grey Knights for me.

even though their methods were mostly abhored by the other legions you never did know for sure that they were truly traitor, and they were never fully alligned with horus

>>673065725
Maybe. We can but hope.
>>673065725
would be hard to film
warcraft has a storyline, warhammer is just to broad to make a comprehensive movie about.
would have to begin with the horus heresy or at least a synopsis of it and then there are so many ways to branch out.
they could make a thousand movies of warhammer and just scratch the surface
>>673061678
Is that what the Chaos army looks like in 40k?
I used to play Warhammer when I was a kid. Around the time Bloodbowl and later Necromunda came out.
I haven't really played since then, but I did briefly read something about them totally overhauling the Warhammer game and armies.
>>673066016
but it is too autistic to even rip off of Starcraft. It's just silly. Look at them, look at this art work and laugh. If my 4 year old drew something like this I would smack him but here adults create them. hilarious.

It's a mixed bag dude. Some is awesome, a lot is solid-tier sci-fi, and a lot is just cringe-inducing awful.
For novels, start with Gaunt's Ghosts series by Dan Abnett. For tabletop games pick up the basic rulebook and flip through. For vidya start with Dawn of War.

It's the grim darkness of eternal war.
>>673075904
Vampire Space Marines. Like normal marines but extra-killer in close combat. Special unit configerations like Death Company, close combat tanks and dreadnoughts reflect that. Some good named hero characters with different abilities, a few like Dante are even worth the points they cost to field.
Their main weakness, or at least in 4th edition, was their tendancy to go nuts and charge off out of your control, and a skilled mobile player can lead them round the board and shoot them to pieces. But then properly handled they'll turn an opposing player's army into pulled pork.

Lovecraft's theme of things existing beyond what a human brain can grasp + Heinlein psychics and armor. fantasy and science fi races were blended together and found their own Gothic fluff design, including Eldar (elves dying off), Orkz (orky orcs, goin fightin!), Tau (blue Jap commies), etc
Several thousand years in the future humans control 60% of the universe after forceful reconquest but are in a dark age. Everything sucks, people revere basic software, programming is 1/3 tech, 1/3 ritual, and 1/3 not knowing what you're doing. most humans are poor and live in huge polluted cities built on ancient human ruins, psychics drag interdimensional monsters into reality, and a small skirmish between aliens could cost billions of lives and a few irreplaceable ancient ships. One person out of one trillionth is a space marine. Human factions sometimes infight and sometimes start shit against aliens because of humanity's manifest destiny.

kek
To answer OP, the shoulder guards are described as "autoreactive" in the books and move automatically to get out of the way a bit. Also, look at suits of real Medieval armor, the pauldron was pretty fucking big, going down almost to the elbow.
Starcraft is actually a ripoff of 40K, not the other way around. The first full 40K codexes cane out in like 91 with the forerunner game called Rogue Trainer dating back to 89. Starcraft came out in 1997.
That Ultramarines movie was dogshit. GW was dumb enough to get the faggots that make Bionicle to make the movie. The cut scenes for THQ's 40K games are infinitely better. Dan Abnett supposedly wrote the script but I get the idea there were some major rewrites by some douche bags once production started. "That will be kinda hard to animate, why don't we cut some corners here and here, remove this character entirely, and inexplicably place the ship's reclusiam in the engine compartment hurr durr..."
GW will likely never greenlight a fullscale live action 40K movie because they are far to miserly with the revenue from their properties and wouldn't share profits with a major studio that would do it justice.

Well the inquisition, on paper, can theoretically requisition the entire apparatus of the Imperium. They are nominally ahead of everyone but the Emperor himself.
But all 1000 chapters of marines rebelling at once isn't something they could really withstand.
Now If by daemonhunter you mean the Grey Knights, then the Grey Knights every time. They're Grey Knights.
>>673085194
Dan Abnett's notoriously hit and miss. Yeah the black library stuff is good, and his Triumff, and he created Guardians of the Galaxy. But has anyone read his Dr Who stuff? Or that godawful tombraider novel? Sometimes he chokes.

Deamon Hunter? Do you mean a Grey Knight? If so, bet on the grey knight, since he is a veteran marine with even better gear and some psycic powers.
If you mean an Inquisitor from Ordo Malleus I dunno.
Like another poster said, the Ordo Malleus can requisition the death of a planet...
But in 1 on 1? Depends. Is he a psyker? Then the odds are good. Is he not? then my money would be on the marine.

>>673061330
A good question anon. The pauldrons on mk3 armor and better are attached via a black carapace which is a dermal implant in the marines
There are servo's in all the "moving joint" parts of the armor, the pauldrons included. These enhance movements, so to answer, Yes, there is a hidden mechanism that reacts to his lifting arms, twisting etc that stops them being a hindrance
And to answer your other question, Yes, this exposes the joint in the arm pit at certain angles, but the ribbing of the under-carapace is almost as tough as the armor itself
It's the same ribbing you can see between all the joints
I hope that answers your question anon
tl:dr It's "Powered" Armor that is also an environmental suit that contains and auspex array and communications

The Alpha legion were tricked into joining with a convincing argument that Chaos needs to win, kill everything and then burn out to nothingness when the humans and eldar are all gone
It's kinda weak from my end personally, but the logic is sound
>>673085194
>look at suits of real Medieval armor, the pauldron was pretty fucking big, going down almost to the elbow
Real medieval pauldrons and shoulder armor are usually made out of leather or several overlapping metal plates so they can actually move over each other when you lift your arms. And they're never even close to being as bulky and huge as Space Marine pauldrons.
not a single dark eldar lover? they are mad and slavery faggs

No, the Emperor sanctioned the 15th because Magnus defied the edict of Nicea? to break the psy-barriers on the webgates on earth to warn the Emperor about Horus's betrayal.
The side effect of the barriers being breached was that chaos could then reach back and send Horus to help scatter the primarchs to the cosmos
Something that always bothered me was the actual name "Space Marine". I mean come on, literally everything else in the Imperium has some kind of fancy Latin name or some kind of foreign sounding name. So why did they decide to name give them a name that sounds conjures up images of fucking Starship Troopers or Colonial Marines. The name is just so out of place.

>>673091318
Their real name is Adeptus Astartes.
>>673091614
Agreed. This is what you can achieve if not every thread is about the best chapter/primarch. Fuck you /tg/
>>673069348
bloodlust
>>673091177
>implying that doesn't work
>>673078909
60% of the galaxy anon, not the universe. It's all in the "milkyway"
>>673091614
tfw you will never see a romance with a sister of battle and a grey knight or romance in general
fucking grimdark, man.
>>673083715
Yeah, but he'll consume enough souls and get enough worship to take his place in the warp as humanities god. Eventually
>>673091986
I remember reading something about the pilots of those huge titans. Weren't they surgically attached to their cockpits or something other equally freaky shit?
Outta the way civilians, make way for the Mobile Infantry.
>>673092399
Yes, like Dreadnoughts I believe.
>>673083715
I'm sure he will be reborn.
>>673092078
Isn't this Bjorn the Fell-Handed? Isn't he (or it) something like 10 000 years old?
>>673083715
>>673092585
are the pilots space marines or just some random guardsmen?
>>673092399
yes, and dreadnaughts are slain heroes kept alive by an armored sarcophagus, could be as little as a brain and spine
>>673091747
Why, the get about in "Space Ships"
The engage in boarding action and off ship fighting
And they are not crew members of their own "Space ships"
Space Marine is accurate
>tfw this thread dies and I have to resort to the elitist idiots of /tg/ for my 40k needs
>>673092399
Princeps are in charge and are generally found encased in a fat tube of conductive gel..like before they wake up in the matrix
I do believe they are linked together with their support bro's as a network to run the titan
>>673093292
Do not worry anon, the Emperor's love is eternal. there will be more threads.
>>673092877
fucked up marines...real fucked up marines
>>673092877
its run by a specially trained pilot called a princeps who had usually two moderati to help him, his mind is plugged into the titan kinda like the matrix but eventually being plugged in and out of the titan fries his brain and he becomes a head in a jar basically permanently attached to the titan engine
>>673093021
That's true, but it doesn't really fit in with the sullen and puritanical theme of the Imperium. Just compare it to another nickname, the Sisters of Battle.
>>673093021
Guardsmen do all that too. Then we should call them space marines too?
>>673069348
What >>673091699 said.
Also, in the Deathwatch RPG, they give a nice touch to the answer: You get extra renown if you completed the mission without a helmet.
Since Space Marines are warrior monks with no interest in sex and other normal stuff, they get their hardons from fame, glory and honor.
>>673093434
True, but Space marine isn't really a term they use in the 40k universe
Each chapter has it's own name for itself, has nicknames forced on them by others and are usually referred to as Astartes
>>673093428
So once you enter a Titan, you never leave it? Damn. More I learn about 40k, more brutal it gets.
>>673092399
>>673092585
No, the Titans are piloted by Princeps that are humans with strong minds that can withstand the immense pressure being connected to the Titan machine. Basically the pilot merges with the machines spirit(They think it's a real spirit, but it is probably just an AI) which lets them control as if they where controlling themselves.
Space Marines have no play in the control of Titans, it's 100% Adeptus Mechanicus. Dreadnoughts on the other hand are Space Marines that have been merged with the machine to serve for eternity, this is only done if the space marine is dying.
>>673093461
You can and it would be accurate as well
But they are not Astartes, they are sharkbait
>>673093833
Oh trust me, the 40k universe is an absolute nightmare.
>>673093833
not exactly but eventually the pilots mind eventually merges with the titan too strongly for the pilot to disengage from the titan
>>673093705
I don't know if Dawn of War is considered canon then, because everyone constantly calls them Space Marines in it. Not only Orks, Eldar and other weirdos, but Astartes themselves use the term too.
>>673061330
Look at that bitching set of powered metal. Nigger, you are a walking fucking tank, okay? When heretics see you, they shit themselves. Your tactics are essentially shout a lot, shoot a lot, trample anything gets close enough.
For what possible fucking reason would you ever need to raise your fucking arms? You're badass enough.
>>673093961
Someone post that warp jump picture.
>>673094229
yeah DoW isn't....accurate... in many regards
besides, Orcs call them 'Ard Boyz and Chaos marines Spiky boyz
>>673093833
Worse things happen. Over time all your body parts and eyes are removed and replaced with sensors and interfaces, eventually your are just a brain and a heart encased in a tank. But to the Adeptus Mechanicus it is eternal bliss.
>>673068942
This was what i was thinking they cant raise it straight up but they could rotate their arm upwards like this so the pauldron would be upside down
>>673094440
So what's a good source for canon info? The books? Other games?
>>673094437
This one?
>>673092263
>mfw this would be exactly what some hollywood cunt would make for a movie
>mfw this is what generally happens to and kills great stories
>>673094728
>>673094437
or this one?
>>673094674
The books is a good start. The Horus Heresy series for example.
>>673094728
this one, I believe
I love Warhammer 40k but am fairly new to it in terms of lore. So was wondering if anyone could answer a few questions
Do Space Marine Chapters ever fight each other?
Also how do the imperial guard fit into it? Why are they necessary if Space Marines exist.
Are Orc, Chaos, Necrons ever allies?
