>the space marine recruitment process
Which one? Recruitment isn't standardized among the space marines.

>>737143725
that sounds retarded and not fun. can you find the nearest doctor at a hospital and have them mri your brain?

>>737143725
What process? They literally retconned the scouts. Primashits all wear power armor since day 1.

They didn't. This was just 6 years ago.
You still go through all the scouting shit, since scouts are just space marines missing a final few geneseed implants.

space marine recruitment should never have stopped being rounding up a bunch of hyperviolent gang psychopaths in a hive, brainwashing them and turning them into semi-controlled killing machines.

>>737146792
Some of them still do that.

tbf that is a comic about Calgar, a character that predates Primaris in the tiimeline

>>737147057
>black templars
If you ask me that's the most boring recruitment process among all of them.

>>737143725
Some time-skips in a 40k game would be interesting. Gives the player a look at how things changes yet stays the same.
But I think it would be much more interesting to play as another space marine chapter than Ultra Marines or Blood Ravens. Something like Blood Angels (learn about the red thirst and Black Rage) or Dark Angels (learn about the fallen) could be fun. There are so much stuff going on with other chapters, including the many successor chapters, but it always seems like they're playing it safe and picking something that won't confuse the player too much. Which is a shame.

>>737147005
That one is nowhere near as disproportionate as >>737146712

>>737147153
But it still references the necessity of gaining on-site experience as a scout. People act like scouts got retconned when the 10th company still exists. All that's changed in that regard from then vs now is that scouts graduate to become primaris instead of firstborn.

>>737147167
blood angels be like
>take volunteers
>give volunteers boyscout tasks
>make remaining volunteers kill each other
>stuff the survivors into a casket to be drowned in Sanguinius's blood for a year
>shoot the ones who come out as insane vampires

>>737147286
That's just shitty art. Space Marines fill out terminator armour except for some lifts in the boots.

>>737147387
That just James Stokoe's style anatomy has never been one of his greatest strengths

This little goober told me about them! What the hell are these things anyway?!

>>737147531
Pretty sure he's saying that Calgar sitting has the worse proportions. I don't have a dog in this race but imo space marine body shapes really shouldn't be held to the limitations of human bodies because they're pretty much body horror under that skin. By that I mean that one of the things that change about them is that when you become a space marine your ribs expand and fuse together into one solid mass. That isn't even including all the space your body makes inside you to make room for all the extra organs you get like your second heart or the add-on to your brain that lets you selectively make parts of it go get some sleep.

>>737147858
How come Dark Angels are the only Space Marines that get an entire cadre of cute not-alien not-warp monster mascot sidekicks?

>>737147858
dont question them and don't speak of them.
if one is following you around, good things will come of you

>>737147916
Everyone else is satisfied with chapter serfs.

>>737143725
I agree. You should get shoved in the Daemonculaba and spat out as a new Marine (if you're lucky)!

Pr*maris was a mistake

Watchers in the Dark do not speak.
They do not even make sound.

Have we ever seen Watchers in the Dark associating with a Dark Angels successor chapter or do they only hang out at Dark Angels HQ?

>>737143725
Why do that when you could play any of 100 more interesting 40k settings?

>>737148234
they would only hang out at the rock until the big man woke up from his catnap

>>737148234
The only watchers left are the ones on the Rock since Caliban blew up.

What kind of 40K game would you like to see?
I think an open world shooter, a bit like Space Marine but more open, where you played as eldar could be cool.
Let the player pick a different aspect each mission, as his character is trying different paths. You can juggle between them but if you focus on one for 70% of the game you'll end up being locked in as an Exarch, becoming more powerful but unable to leave the path.

>>737148141
Well, this one wouldn't shut up about the fallen. Fallen this, fallen that. Also, he claimed there was a lion sleeping in the basement. What the fuck are these things?

chapter recruitment differs in every single space marine chapter.

Reminds me of this great description of life as a traitor marine in the eye of terror.
https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/271640-misconceptions-about-csm/page/4/#entry3316051
It's a long read but it does describe how, well, chaotic and restless this life is - according to how this one 40k writer sees it.
You could make a fun game about being a traitor marine, managing your people, trying to earn favor from the gods and other groups, while avoiding being back-stabbed by your people or brought down by the gods or other groups.

>>737149287
>grey knight recruitment process
So only 1 in a 1000 players would make the first trial.. and 665 are left

We need more games with orks. Orks as equally entertaining and brutal characters.

give me ork daycare simulator instead

>>737153350
How hardy are ork spores?
If orks fought tyranids, lost, and then the tyranids slurped up all the biomass then moved on, would that lead to orks spawning inside a hive ship?

>>737149328

Well he's right.

what happens when they need to take a piss / shit while in the suit, do they just shitted themselves?

>>737146880
Didn’t he loose his arms and legs while fighting a swarm lord? He became a real human bean.

>>737157296
They have a fluid recovery system built into their suits which reconstitutes waste matter into a nutrient paste.

>>737157296
Yes, the suits have a waste recycling system. But also their biology is such that they don't need to excrete waste as often as regular humans so it isn't like they need to take a daily shit or constantly piss in there either.

Better idea: Tau-lead humans world fighting Imperium.

>>737158582
Even then, with their second stomachs a daily shit is basically a free daily nutrient bar.

>>737143725
The whole blood angels recruitment process could be an amazing game by itself, yes. This is not the norm though.
From crossing the waste, reaching the cities in the mountains to fly for days while avoiding flying predators to then start your actual recruitment process of training and fighting.
Could be some good puzzle survival exploration story driven game.

>>737158919
I don't think there would really be much left over nutrition in their shits given their digestive system is able to even extract what little nutrition there is from rocks. There might be some moisture to reclaim from it but that would be about it.

>>737158329
Just his arms

Reminder if you give money to Geedubs you are abiding them in killing fan animations

>>737143725
How would it be? Would it follow a single neophyte from a specific chapter or would you create your own and pick who you are with? If it’s the former then I would go with Spacewolves since their Aspirants get into the shit faster.

>>737146091
They didn't retcon Scouts

Scouts are still the same and they receive their final Primaris implants

>>737148385
I know there are a few, but an Inqusitor game where you spend most of it investigating it would be cool, bonus points for a campaign where you play as a rando trying to flee said inqusition, additional points for said rando not being associated with any chaos or genestealer shit to mostly serve as a reminder of how cruel the Imperium can be

>>737156335
I don't think so, ork spores are hardy as evident by the fact orks can proper up just about anywhere but there are still limits since they can still be burned and disgested
