I don't play the table top game but I read the fluff since my husband plays, from my understanding they have multiple organs, can see in the dark, survive massive damage and trauma, immune to poisons and are breed for war and incased in super strong armor. Their basic weapons are awesome also, explosive rounds and such much beyond modern day stuffs.
Identity Crisis Slade curbstomps.
Most die.
The sheer difficulty Slade would have in simply penetrating their armour alone makes this an impossible uphill battle for him.
**** the gameplay, that armour can survive orbital bombardments in the lore.
Differing chapters really only matter in how Slade dies.
An Ultramarine would provide suppressive fire and maybe kill him with a combat blade if Slade manages to actually close the distance.
A Black Templar would engage him in a duel of swords, and probably kill him quickly.
A Blood Angel would rapidly close the distance with a jump pack, pulverising him on impact.
A Space Wolf would run him down, firing on him and eventually ripping him to pieces if he catches him.
A Grey Knight could kill him with his mind, or just destroy his body and soul with a Force Sword.
A Dark Angel would kill him by being a brooding emo punk.
Originally posted by Lord Feronconsider the numbers involved in 40k and their really aren't that many of them. maybe 50-60 thousand space marines in total. Imperial guard can number in the billions in a single tithe from a hive world. btw hive world has a number of cities potentially numbering over 10 billion people per city and a tithe can call for 1/10 able bodied men to serve in the military. So space marines really don't suffer from ninja law when you consider about 250 space marines is generally considered overkill for conquering a planet.

Isnt that with skills specifically learned/weaponry specifically crafted for the task?
do they use weapons and stuff, specifically designed to take out a marine, sure. is that the only way it has happened? no.
in the fluff and novels, there have been numerous skirmishes and confrontations involving space marines and assassins from the 4 houses:
Vindicare- Traditional Sniping with non-tradional weapons.
Eversor- Shock and Terror.
Callidus- Shape changing.
Culexus- Psychic
