White Scarsasians,

Also Dark Angels are Amerindians.
If I remember correctly Salamanders were niggas, but after several lore changes they are now coal black with shining red eyes.

Yeah, I have a similar vague feeling as to the current fluff, but that's only good, as this way they resemble WCDS's stereotypes of Africans even betterIf I remember correctly Salamanders were niggas, but after several lore changes they are now coal black with shining red eyes.

Tradition. Can't beat that in W40k universe though, the Chapters just won't take female applicants.Is there anything in the lore that says space marines actually have to be male?
Hey, hey, hey!
Bioware will make this work guys. And it will even fit the lore!!
women are equal to men so
Is there anything in the lore that says space marines actually have to be male?
In warhammer 40k orks don't breed... there is no female orks, orks sweat, in their sweat are little eggs that grow into orks.... *sighs deeply* I can't believe I used to know all this shitIs there anything in the lore that says space marines actually have to be male?
I think its for practical purposes. You want a military power that uses genetics to create a super-soldier, you use the most physically powerful sex of the two available, a man. Pump them with steroids, splice in some whacky new organs to secrete enzymes to do stuff, mental conditioning and outright brainwashing as well as chemical castration to provide you with a soldier loyal and capable of performing duties without (hopefully) being tempted to digress. Female frame would be an inferior starting block due to less physical mass to enhance with steroids and freakish gene organs, still that hasnt stopped the Ork from spreading around the universe.
My knowledge of WH40k is rudimentary and very shallow, one of the experts will be along shortly to call heresy on my post and correct you on the finer points of the beefed up men only club of space marines.
In short, Orks are bioengineered genderless plant/animal hybrids with ancestral memory who reproduce via spores (which they release constantly, but the largest amount is released upon death, making it difficult to rid a world of them once they make planetfall - the green bastards just return a few years later, feral). At large numbers they also create a rudimentary psychic hive mind, that makes things the Orks believe real to some extent.In warhammer 40k orks don't breed... there is no female orks, orks sweat, in their sweat are little eggs that grow into orks.... *sighs deeply* I can't believe I used to know all this shit
Also I believe they don't die of old age, they just grow bigger and stronger at a constant rate, thus compounding the difficulty in killing them all. Mind you what I always did find rather amusing about all the 40K lore books is that every race except the space marines and imperial legion was described as the greatest threat to humanity. Tyrranids - hive mind insects with unlimited number and god like overmind, orks - like cockroaches except big, angry and green, necrons - ancient evil gods + immortal advanced technology, so on and so forth, even the g dammed dark eldar who are basically fuckin pirates are described as being so crafty and what not that they might just destroy the universe with soul magic or whatever it is that they steal from people.In short, Orks are bioengineered genderless plant/animal hybrids with ancestral memory who reproduce via spores (which they release constantly, but the largest amount is released upon death, making it difficult to rid a world of them once they make planetfall - the green bastards just return a few years later, feral).

I think that some lore in some edition states than space marine implants are only compatible with males because they have higher levels of testosterone.Is there anything in the lore that says space marines actually have to be male?
The best argument against female space marines is as follows:I think that some lore in some edition states than space marine implants are only compatible with males because they have higher levels of testosterone.Is there anything in the lore that says space marines actually have to be male?
I can't believe i don't know this shit as good as others in this thread.
Tradition and dogma. Seriously, the Blessed Astartes have been created by the God Emperor himself, using the genetic information from his own sons. He made no female Space Marines, so obviously any female superhumans are HERESY.Wait i just remembered that Imperial Guard has no problem conscripting females alongside males to throw in the grinder. Why then all the fuss about SM? Not to mention Eldar of both flavors but then fantasy elves have always had female warriors.
