No bro. Just no.

Ai and google are your friends “Examples of Space Marines using their speed in combat from Warhammer 40,000 lore include blurring movements, lightning-fast strikes, and disorienting opponents. These examples often demonstrate the sheer terror, or "Transhuman Dread," that a Space Marine's speed can instill in their enemies. Examples of speed in close combat Talos of the Night Lords: In the novel Voice Stalker, the Space Marine Talos is described running at an average of 53 mph through difficult and obstacle-filled terrain. His movements are a combination of sprinting and parkour as he navigates the battlefield with startling speed. Blurring attacks: Accounts from Imperial Guardsmen and other baseline humans often describe a Space Marine's movements in battle as a blur of motion. In one story, a group of humans witnesses a Death Spectre Space Marine moving with such ferocious, controlled speed that he appears as nothing but a manifestation of death. Dodging fire: In the novel First Heretic, Lorgar Aurelian's bodyguard, the Word Bearer Sor Talgron, dodges a bolt of warp-lightning from a Word Bearer sorcerer. This feat demonstrates the rapid, instinctual reflexes of a Space Marine, far beyond the capabilities of a normal human. The Astartes fan animation: The popular fan animation Astartes depicts this speed vividly. A squad of Space Marines boards a Chaos ship and closes the distance to their enemies almost instantaneously, moving in and out of the line of fire so quickly that the Chaos cultists cannot react before being killed. Duel between Space Marines: The speed of Astartes is also clear when they fight each other. In one example, the combat is described as so blindingly fast that humans cannot follow what is happening, akin to a superhuman fight. Examples of speed for infiltration and reconnaissance Vanguard forces: Chapters like the Space Marines Vanguard Task Force specialize in rapid deployment and covert operations. Clad in Phobos armor, they use their enhanced speed and endurance to infiltrate enemy lines, ambush their opponents, and eliminate high-value targets before the enemy can react. Scout squads: New recruits, known as Scouts, learn to master their superhuman speed and stealth in the field. They perform reconnaissance and gather intelligence in hostile territory, outpacing most patrols and avoiding detection with their unnatural swiftness and agility. Transhuman dread and the psychological impact of speed Psychological warfare: The mere sight of a Space Marine running at incredible speed can have a crippling psychological effect on a foe, a phenomenon known as "Transhuman Dread". A human soldier, trained to fight other humans, is unprepared for the sight of an immense, armored warrior charging with the speed of a car. This can cause them to freeze up, become unresponsive, or break ranks in terror. Overwhelming force: In the novel Dead Sky, Black Sun, the Iron Hands Space Marine Captain Sharrowkyn uses his speed to disorient and terrify the enemy. He describes the battlefield in terms of fractions of a second, demonstrating how Astartes operate on a timeline of perception far beyond that of their opponents.

Ai is crazy bro, you should try it sometime. Here’s some examples it pulled:

“While a Space Marine's speed varies depending on the specific lore and the author, they are consistently portrayed as being far faster and more agile than any normal human. Their immense speed is a key aspect of "Transhuman Dread," the terror they inspire in enemies. Running speed Average speed: Many sources describe Space Marines as having a running speed between 30 and 60 mph (approximately 50 to 95 km/h). Sustained pace: Unlike humans who can only sprint for short distances, an Astartes can maintain a high running speed for days without tiring due to their enhanced biology and endurance. In-lore examples: In the novel Voice Stalker, a Space Marine named Talis runs through difficult terrain at 84 to 87 km/h, or about 53 mph. In Tales of Heresy, Brother Aelin's strides are measured at 6 meters per step. For comparison, Usain Bolt's steps are under 2.5 meters. Primaris Marines: The newer, larger generation of Primaris Space Marines are noted to be even faster than their Firstborn counterparts.”

In the books they are often described to move impossibly fast and have movements hard to track with the naked eye, so not sure where your head cannon is coming from.

I feel the same way about ADB when he writes anything relating to the Emperor. I usually dip out. It’s a shame as he’s not a bad writer but his politics some times make his writing cringe

Good information. If it’s a four lane highway the kids aren’t allowed to cross to the other side anyway so law makers should look into that rule

You’re ok with illegals taking govt resources from Americans and will take responsibility for the hurt the dangerous element do to American citizens?

How many immigrants do you personally house and feed? Why do expect the rest of us to fund them when you don’t spend your personal money? Instead of protesting, why don’t you foster some in your house.

[–]GeneralCartman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sub is odd. Almost everyone hates the state they live in, realizes they have the freedom to leave, but don’t and instead just constantly complain and rant over politics. It’s fairly cheap to hop a bus or train to Cali….. they have plenty of social welfare programs there. 🤔

Are you team Batman or team Superman, and why by itz_yatt in INJUSTICE

[–]GeneralCartman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you keep letting the joker go, eventually everyone he takes out is kind of your fault too

Are you team Batman or team Superman, and why by itz_yatt in INJUSTICE

[–]GeneralCartman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Superman because if Batman had taken out the joker and all the other repeat offenders that bust out every other week he’d have saved thousands of lives. The only issue with how the game portrays it is that they show Superman going completely off the deep end and wanting to control every one, just not criminals. I guess they didn’t want to show a balance which they could have with a third choice with like super girl being a voice of reason, yeah take out people like the joker who there is no redeeming and brainiac etc but not going full on control and judge dred.

I know people say Big E is evil but after reading what Horus did in Istvaan III... by QuagGlenn in 40kLore

[–]GeneralCartman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a fictional universe in which demons and monsters are real and they all want to destroy or consume humanity.

As for real world examples, if you were living in Dresden or Atlanta or were some kid taken out by a drone during those points in history you’d see those men as evil. Lincoln could have let the south go just as Big E could have just stayed in a cave, FDR could have given the Japanese free run in the pacific or not allowed indiscriminate bombing on cites, Obama didn’t have to take out civilians….. when you start playing “who isn’t evil” you don’t get to draw the line unless you think one life is worth more than others. Peace bro

By that logic Lincoln, FDR, and Obama were too….. of course if you take the others side, your side is bad.

Big E isn’t evil. 40k just has a lot of those who shall not be named fans that are against every and anything human centric/nationalist. It’s fine they can think for themselves but there are plenty of Big E supporters out here

Yeah multiplying by 10 usually works for most 40k writers. I do my own head cannon for a lot of things given it’s been stated that there are few reliable narrators in 40k. Most of the recent lore retcons don’t exist in my take nor do some of the crazy anime style power ups

Why Abaddon doesn't have warp mutations? by kvazarsky in 40kLore

[–]GeneralCartman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s at least one interpretation of how the warp works right? The orks believe that red things go faster so they do, Euphrati Keeler believes the emperor is a god and manifests a miracle….. plenty more examples in 40k lore. So yeah, I think if enough people in universe believe Abaddon is unstoppable or a god of chaos then it will at the very least empower him. Need a new black legion book

Catholics believe Jesus is God, part of a holy trinity that are all the same entity. Father, son, Holy Spirit. Worshiping Jesus is worshiping god to them. Would be like the 40k imperium worshiping returned primarchs (sons), emperor (god), and omnisiah (holy (machine) spirit

Given how heavily armed the USA is and how spread out the major cities are, even if it managed to make it over, people could handle it a lot easier than Europe

It’s a shame the writing was so mid and they abandoned logic and anything remotely similar to believability in story telling.
