Space marine Anatomy ?!--

[End.GAME]

I was just surfin around the web.. And i came across this site.
Check it out! I believe he made several of Black library/Black frame's Book cover Art.
His concepts are pretty cool And his artworks are astonishing.

"Notes: This is more 'Background Marine' or 'Movie Marine' - more over on theItalian and German GW sites - for some reason not the the UK GW site?"

Nice. But the muscle expansion doesn't actually correspond to the bone structure. I'm not sure if Marines would still have pectorals to the same extent as regular folk, but given the limitations of the modelling program he seems to be using, it's understandable.

He also leaves out the fact that the ossmoddula doesn't make the bones grow faster by itself, rather it changes the bones structure, using ceramic chemicals in the marine's diet to harden them beyond normal human resistance. In the process he describes, marines would be subject to a great deal of muscle entropy and infection unless constantly supervised and would need to be drip fed their food. Given the constant 'at war' state of all chapters and the relentless training programs this takes up time and personnel that the Chapter should not under any reasonable set of circumstances be able to spare.

I'm also not sure about the muscle proportions used. Marines undergo a great deal of modification to both muscle mass and density, as well as bone composites, so the skeletal structure would be markedly different to that of an unaugmented human, probably in the upper torso and skull, as remarked in the Horus Heresy Books.

Size-wise its fairly good, though for some reason I always thought of SM as taller... For a lot of what they have, they would need to scale up the human frame an awful lot, especially since the standard human genome and bone structure is tailored towards the 6ft line. Beyond that to any great extent is considered abnormal, and markedly dangerous for most people. While taller people can cover more ground they aren't generally faster (especially in the 7' bracket) and their ankles and lower backs would be under considerable stress.

If the joint can't cope with that, the Ossmoddula would need to reinforce that somehow to cope with the additional stresses of the ceramic chemicals, and for the kind of speed and coordination marines are supposed to exhibit outside of their power armour, the amount of testosterone running through the marine's system would be downright imposing in the least.

nice a little off but nice anyway
i cant remember a 7'6" basketball player
most only get to 7'2" maybe a little bigger
any way nice

[End.GAME]

Nice way to put it all in there ides !

[Rellik]

wow very intresting

[Warmaster Romulas]

the main thing i disagree on is the terminator marine
a marine of the first company is not any bigger than a newer marine
they are not orks the older and more battle hardend they get doesnt make them bigger

[Four20edLogan]

Interesting

[Wakim]

But... but i thought Space Marines DID get a litle bit bigger as time passed at least in the first years(decades, centuries).

[Rellik]

i didnt think they would weight that much.

[Wakim]

Weigh has strange ways :P

It`s an illusion actually

Just because i`m really tall and not that buffed people think i weigh 3/4 - 4/5 of how much i actually do

And muscle weighs more than fat :P

AND SM have a LOT denser bones and i`m pretty sure their muscle tisue should be also denser than normal

[Rellik]

yeah i can see that now with there bones and muscle growth how heavy they would get. how much does there armour weigh?

A lot




Sorry, i just had to do that

Seriously though, i don`t think it was ever mentioned

[Rellik]

ha ha. i would guess with armour on plus there weight about a ton? maybe more?

[Ides]

Well, if master chief weighs half a ton and can sit on the back of a quad...

Hahahaha

Did you just tried to aply logic to an arcadish fps?!

What next?

Mario?

[Ides]

Well, I was aiming more towards saying that if master chief in armour weighs half a ton, marines might be at least that...

But while, we're on that subject, with the amount of drugs and suspicious herbs mario gets his hands on, its hard to be sure what he can and can't do...

[Ides]

yes, yes I did. The world is logical in my head you see.

This helped me in my Anatomy Paper!!!! THANKS A LOT!!!

i got idea for a bit of fluff for my chapter, they say SM dont have feelings right no family? Well my chapter lets Marines keep their memorie and once in a while they take a trip with the DeathWolves to their home planets to spend some time with their family to recuperate (Ryoto's family is Ayame(andriod GF) and his brother (name unknown))
