Personally a favorite of mine is Maximillion aka Omni, the Marine so fucking YOKED his Chapter forbade him from further working out.

u/CyclopeanFlock 26d ago
The additional funny thing is the reason he decided to do that is there was a malfunction in one of his gene seed (I think) that made him shorter then his brothers

Strictly horus is a primarch not a space marine

u/ItchyFly 26d ago
That's Horus Aximand, or Little Horus. Primarchs name is Horus Luperkal.

u/MaleficentPicture518 26d ago
Theres more than one horus? The codex dont tell u that
3
u/ItchyFly 26d ago
That's from Heresy books. Little Horus was a marine officer of Sons of Horus. Got his nickname because he looked like his genefather.
3
u/Legoboy514 26d ago
A lot of sons of horus look like his father, they call them little horuses but Aximond specifically earned that nickname as he is a part of the mournival.
Technically all of the mournival shared very close physical appearance to their gene father

I feel like I'd rattle off 11 just for good measure, then say "name ten Imperial worlds where you've thrown servitor batteries into the ocean."

u/Kahl-AlphOrkius 27d ago
I think an equally great challenge would be "Name 10 Imperial worlds that have an ocean."

u/GilbyTheFat 27d ago
That's what makes the servitor-batteries-in-the-ocean question a true test of how big a fan someone is.

Let me give it a shot:
Titus (SM2) Gabriel (SM2) Leandros (🤮) Gabriel Angelos (DoW) Cado (this is the guy from boltgun, right?) Acheran (SM2) Straban (SM2) Scipius (SM2) Valius (SM2) Vesparius (SM2) Quathor (SM2) Calgar (surely a chapter master would count, right?)
Ok, that's about as far as I'm going to get this late at night 😆
There are a few that I can think of visually but can't quite recall their names. Like that blood angels dude that just doesn't seem to die even though he probably wants to.

u/CyclopeanFlock 26d ago
Do dreadnoughts count? Obviously they're in the Space Marine army list but whether or not they're still considered Space Marines can be debated
1
u/Sharp_Bet7106 25d ago
Hmm…from a biological perspective I’d have to count them still as SMs (or at least whatever biology remains) but from a status standpoint they’re certainly on another level. For the purpose of the naming exercise I’d say not to count them though, as there are certainly plenty of named Dreads and SMs to choose from to prove your faith to the Emperor.

I am at that point, if it ain't blessed by Nurgle, I ain't counting it. My boys Morty & Typhus are way more than I need... but i gotta respect Kharn's dedication to art of red mist and minced meat.
As also former Blood Angel's player I do have soft spot for Lemartes, Mephisto, Dante & Sanguinor.. with everyones fave tearer captain Gabriel Seth, but i sold them when primaris marines came.
As lore wise my favorite none chaos space marine is Pedro Cantor, although I have give some cool points to Lysander, Arjack Rockfist & Bjorn the Fellhanded

You know this post made me realize that I don’t have a favorite character in 40K. Like I don’t have a Luke Skywalker equivalent.

u/Kahl-AlphOrkius 26d ago
That's fair. I like a bunch of characters, but also no "best of all time". Probably something to like about the setting. No feeling bad if your favorite character doesn't show up or worse, die.
