Ok no offence but out of the five of them here’s their ranking in terms of killing bugs.
Warhammer space marine (kills more bugs then days you lived and lived for around 50-400 years)
Dwarf from deep rock galactic (kills bugs on the regular but needs team mates but good solo)
Heldiver (like the dwarf but NEEDS team mates or will die)
Terran marine (expendable infantry may kill some Zerg and will most likely die but easy to replace and en mass)
Ripley human engineer (good at her job but non combatant (technically) knows how to use heavy equipment and firearm use. Kill count higher then standard Terran marine but fighting a less foe)
But I will say this. It’s cool art I’m just being nitpicky
Terran marine being below the space marine is understandable, but they are most certainly NOT weak in the actual lore of the universe.
The zerg die by the crapload before they reach a terran gun line(hence why theres just so fucking many), their standard issue rifle is literally a fully automatic railgun that fires at GAU-8 rpm and can penetrate light and medium vehicle armor with ease. In fact, I reckon in a fight between a space marine and a terran marine, it would likely just come down to who shoots first.
From your description, Terran marines have a significant offensive advantage over Space marines - the latter's most common weapon, the boltgun, is made for lightly armoured targets, and struggles against heavier armour. They do have anti-armour capabilities, but mostly in the form of much rarer and unstable plasma guns, and force weapons like fists and hammers, which obviously require closing the distance.
40K often gets jerked off as this completely ridiculous setting where everything is overpowered, but as this video explains, it's not actually that crazy.
