Are space marines naturally big guys...

Are space marines naturally big guys? Or are they average sized soldiers in suits of robotic armor that make them look bigger

They are naturally big guys made even bigger by putting weird mutating shit and other implants in them

They're bigger than average, but the armor makes them proper huge. I think they're supposed to be basketball player tall out of the armor, but in it they're scratching eight feet.

Aren't they supposed to be like 2,5 meters tall and weigh ~300-400 kg due to the growth-promoting implants.

No. Ogryns are 2.5 meters tall, and they're supposed to be notably larger than Space Marines.

It's depends on the selection process. Typically only the biggest and strongest survive, but if it's based off wits a smaller person may survive.

(Also, the process of becoming a marine alters their DNA so they all end up about the same regardless of what they looked like before hand)

Even still there are guys that are so big that regular armor doesn't fit them properly. Even Abbadon complained his Terminator armor was too tight for him.

Pic pretty related. The Primarchs were pretty huge, even by Space Marine standards.

There's also a Exorcists captain that's so large his armor had to be custom made. He's said to be of "ogryn-like stature"

Anybody remember the Huge Marines?

He's noted to be primarch big.

After becoming a full on marine they typically are 7+ feet tall. There are some short one, I remember an IF being about as tall as a relatively tall human in his power.

Magnus could change his size, he once made himself big enough to fight a Gargant hand-to-hand

even in their more realistic depictions they are big guys

This always confused me because I assume you have to put on the undersuit for it first before you put on the armor pieces.

There's a chapter of ogryn sized marines, forget the name

You just adopted being a big guy, I was born into it molded by it

That's because magnus was supposed to be a cyclopean monster. A cyclops is big.

The other primarchs were space marine sized, until very recently when they all turned into ogre-szed faggots.

>are football players naturally big guys?

Magnus was also the biggest of the primarchs. Aliphatics and Omegon are marine sized, and others fall in between.

For you

the undersuit is always on

the last stage of an astrates training comprises of installing the black carapace which is a subcutaneous suit that allows better interaction with power armor

it varies in depictions from being visible like a black shirt to being unnoticeable under the skin except for the ports

I'm sad to see Baneposting dying. It had a good run, but it seems 4u is becoming less popular.

They are for you

For you.

Yes I know. However, some artwork has another suit that actually connects to the nodes of the black carapace that the plate then goes on top of.

Why the fuck do people get the anatomy of a space marine so horribly wrong?

That guy's arms are too short first of all, and in armor all he did was paint over the silhouette of the hand instead of putting a glove(thus making it thicker) around it.

The guy is stretched vertically in the torso and his head is too small. And any armor he put over barely bulks the silhouette at all.

0/10 would purge.

Enlight us with correct spess marine anatomy, nigger-kun.
