Yes. Some more than others. The Codex prescribes 15 minutes of free time each day.

Depends on the chapter. Some never even associate with normal people on anything close to a social level. Some do.
The Salamanders are known to chill amongst to normal people of Noctune, doing normal-people things.

>>35456836
With your post and message, I now imagine one part of the mandatory prayer time is really just the space marine isolating himself in a room full of cats, petting them and telling them all his horrible war stories until he feels better and goes back to his normal schedule.

Yup, each chapter do different stuff in their free time. Blood Angels like to paint as a hobby. Space Wolves like to drink and feast. Salamanders have family time.

>>35456836
Some chapters do. Most don't hob-nob with the populace, but you might find one hunting or just kicking it in the wilderness. Salamanders are known to visit the Nocturneans for various reasons from smithing practice to arena fights or whatever other hobbies they enjoy.

>>35456836

Space Marines are bred for war. Don't feel bad for them, because in times of idleness, they grow listless for battle, and are the most at home entrenched deep within their foe.

Space Marines have hobbies and interests too.

Titus, for example, is karaoke king

That's a weird thing about Space Marines, their age. I mean, it's not uncommon for veterans to have served for at least three centuries.

A 300+ years old man today would be older than a disturbing numbers of states, including just about everything in the Americas or Africa. The dude would remember the Holy Roman Empire and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.

Even by 40K standard, you would be looking at someone from your grandfather's time, assuming your family is rich enough to have been under generous quantities of juvenat drugs for generations..

>>35462977

Marines have like reverse dog years. They aren't "born" until like 10 or so when they become neophytes, it takes them decades to graduate from scout, and like you said, they'll have at least one service stud before making tactical, and two or more before becoming an officer.

100-200 years old is considered "young adult" for them.

>>35462977

Well, in the 40k universe tech and politics have stagnated for at least 10k years, so it's a lot different there.

>>35462977
And that can lead to some interstinf relationships with civilans. It is not uncommon for a family to know that their child/sibling/cousin became a Marine. But when I talk about relatives figting in the civil war im discussing a period 160 years ago. For these families their great great great great uncle might still be around and kicking.

If I remember correctly the Salamanders still engage in family life on Nocturne. It is entirely possible that the same Marine talking with the old people at the market might have grown up as a child with their grand parents.

A Marine that is involved in the community would be a walking eternal monolith of stories.

Bullshit. Even the non-hyper mega indoctrinated monks of today's time aren't allowed to drink alcohol, you're telling me Space Marines, with all their fanaticism, are allowed to? Shit, would it even have an effect?

>>35465272
>you're telling me Space Marines, with all their fanaticism, are allowed to? Shit, would it even have an effect?
I haven't heard of it outside of other chapter, but the yiffs drink.
And apparently have super-alcohol so that they can get drunk.

>>35465272
Alcohol doesn't effect Space Marines, their stomachs perceive the alcohol as a toxin and get rid of the "getting drunk" part.

>>35465272
There are brewer monks
Some religions are cool with alcohol
Hell, even christianity is meant to be all for brewing
Its just some modern ones that are against it

>>35463812
The Ultramarines have that too, though to a much lesser degree. Mostly just cataloging which noble family got someone in, and such.

>>35465272
Space Marine alcohol is a little bit more potent. Most of what they eat and drink is not fit for human consumption. Probably preparation for when they need to drink motor oil and eat poisonous whateverbeasts on campaign.

>>35465272

Normal alcohol wouldn't get marines drunk anyway.

We know the Ultras like their wine

>>35460238
They could have been in ceremonial armor for a victory parade, and then been granted liberty to enjoy the festivities. Or they could have been instructed to walk among the populace in full armor as a psychological tactic.

>>35465272
They bash each other on the head after a drink to get that drunk feeling.

>>35465272
It probably depends on the Chapter's favored booze. Classy Ultramarine wine probably doesn't do much but taste good. Space Wolf alcohol is probably strong enough to intoxicate a Space Marine.

When the Blood Angels want a kegger, do they ask for blood from Space Wolf donors?

>>35465272

Some of the more corrupted Night Lords enjoy scaring poor sods to death and then eating them.

Most space marines never return home. However certain chapters live with their families IE salamanders and space wolves. It was even hinted at in 4th ed fluff that space wolves could still have sex with women but they quickly removed it.

Those that do see their homeworld will feel its completely different. They are separated by their training and stature. Even guardsmen who return to their homeworld usually feel like they dont fit in anymore.

Dont forget about warp travel taking possibly ages. It is possible to return home after 200 years even though only 20 years may have passed in your life. You would meet your family many generations on and most likely be revered for being super old.

It is even possible to exist in two places at once due to warp travel which is kinda fucked up if you think about it.

The space wolf books aren't half bad and they mention this. The beer they drink is basically paint thinner and the serfs know to leave it alone because it's lethal to humans. On top of that it has a special herb in it that suppresses a marines anti poison system which is what actually allows them to get drunk. Other marines treat alchohol like a weak poison and aren't affected much.

I guess that means marines could develop a hobby for wine and spirit tasting because they wouldn't have to deal with the side effects.

Free time is up to 15min per day, but "many Chapter Masters regard free time as a frivolous waste, and a dangerous distraction in the extreme" and sleep is down to 4h.

Tea, the light meal of tea and usually some cakes or scones or whatever, around 3 or 4 in the afternoon.

They're more than double the mass of a human. They, proportionately, have smaller stomachs and small intestines because of crowding from giant rib cages and a bunch of new organs. And they have a more intensive (thus, energy-consuming) digestive process because of resistances to poisons and a greater diversity in what they can eat. Now, I know that since it's 40k Space Marines can be just outright better, but in absence of a source to the contrary let's go with logic (and canon depictions of space marines eating a fuckton) and suppose that they, in fact, have roughly the dietary needs that their biology would imply.

They say "oi, would ya fancy a cup o' tea mate?" as opposed to "It's gettin' on time for tea innit?"

>>35474361
Correct, at least traditionally.
Some traveller (American, I think) said that if you want the best of English food eat breakfast three times a day [paraphrased]

The brain eating thing is stupid by 40k standards. I can see why they don't bring it up to often.

I liked in Brotherhood of the Snake how they seemingly spent their off time. Hiking around their islands with the scouts, playing capture the flag, seeing how deep they can dive. Would totally be what i would be doing with my own planet.

Tyranid Lictors, and certain types of Genestealer (at least in 4th edition), eat brains to absorb memories.

Space Marines eat any body part.

>>35475682
It's easier to swallow the concept with Tyranids since they are supposed to be unrelatable weird aliens while Space Marines actually are based on humans.

>Even the non-hyper mega indoctrinated monks of today's time aren't allowed to drink alcohol
Uhh, what?

Okay, let's start with something. Monks, in the sense you're using, a predominantly a Catholic thing.

So, let's start with one thing: Wine is literally part of Catholic Ritual, and while you can abstain from getting the blood of Christ, it would be expected that a monk fully engage in the ritual.

Second, given that beer has been cleaner than water for most of human history, we can safely say that historically speaking, monks drink. Given that the church in question is not fond of changing, drink is probably allowed with a meal, so long as one is restrained.

And then, finally, you've ignored an entire kind of monk - Trappists. Who make things, because work is considered prayer. One of the things they make and sell is beer. Anyone who makes anything knows that you sometimes must sample your product to assure quality.

>>35477586
>Christ, it's like dwarves and their different words for gold.

>>35477586
Well like a third of modern dwarf stereotypes are british, so it's not that surprising

This thread made me picture someone on a Space Marine world who reinvents the wonderful thing known as a Slurpee, and then has a Space Marine come along one day, sample one, and then go wide eyed at it.

Said man then becomes rich on Space Marine dollars and off the money of everyone else clamouring for some of what that entire chapter makes a b-line for when they go ground side for leisure time.

>>35477683
You don't even have to go that far, I don't know where you guys are from but anybody familiar with western culture knows that monks are and have always been consumers of beer and wine, and they are even sometimes permitted to get piss drunk on special occasions. Martin Luther is on record saying that people with stress should consider drinking more liberally. This is often misconstrued as advocation of alcoholism, but all he was really saying is it's not a bad idea to down a few pints if you're feeling tense all day, and that it's harder to sin when you drink at home alone and get sleepy.

It depends on the order, but most Christian ascetics and especially Catholic monks, are allowed to drink at least 1 pint of beer per day. Especially the aforementioned Trappists. In fact, arguably the best beers made today are made by Trappist monks, like Le Trappes.

On top of that, brewer monks are popular in media, such as the many monks of Shakespearian plays, Robin Hood stories, etc.

The only justification for the monk-ness getting in the way of space marines' ability to drink alcohol is if the chapter is based on very specific eastern traditions that prohibit drinking.

a squad of space marines are thus forced to get involved in day-to-day imperial life and must try to not solve everything in the usual cleave-and-smite fashion.

It has been all but explicitly said that the Space Wolves are dancing to chaos tunes in the dead of night. They would rather risk war with the rest of the Imperium than let the Inquisition anywhere near Fenris.

Because if the Inquisition saw Fenris, war would not be a risk. War would be a certainty.

It didn't do everything perfect and is a touch more generic than I'd like, but it started out with having you design your clan, picking traits and events and writing a history in a way a bit reminiscent of what some FATE games encourage. It emphasizes the clan or mountain home as the group that your PCs represent. It focuses a bit D&D rather than Dorf Fort, too, and has specific laws that your clan follows and holds up.

Other than that, it has a set of combat roles which have specific combat abilities, a bit like Dungeon World or recent versions of Magical Burst. And you get two adventurer skills and a crafter's guild. There's a stubbornness stat.
All character advancement is through choosing minor abilities (again, kind of like Dungeon World) which can be based on your skills, guild, or combat role, and there's some general ones as well. Magic includes enchanting where you imbue your permanent vitality into runes, and is generally blood-oriented.

Clan advancement is a bit more complicated, and is formatted as the main goal of the game, like with Rogue Trader but instead of just profit factor, you have prestige, wealth, and strength. You roll under those stats for a few things, including acquiring things for your own selves, though that's not a focus. And there's a few guidelines for specific clan advantages and that they do.

Ice T does not approve of this.

The closest thing to a space marine was Andre the Giant. He was a bit thin for an Astartes at only 520 lbs, and of course lacked the non-human organs. But even he simply could not get drunk from beer. If he wanted to get drunk he had to down a fifth of vodka, and that would just get him started with a buzz. Other old-school wrestlers, huge men and the hard-core type to intentionally break their legs as part of training, would try to go out drinking with him and fall by the wayside. Note vodka is 80-proof (40% alcohol). So if you are 700 lbs, you are counting your drinks by the number of bottles of Everclear you down in a sitting, and that's if you manage to turn off one of your non-human organs.

Bullshit. You are not real.
Either you're being an attention whore mentioning your gender, or a dumb, dumb anon.

nope, the primarchs didn't have any gene enhancements, only the Space Marines.

It should be noted that anti-marine poisons are a thing already, just exceedingly rare. The assassin guilds use them sometime for dealing with rogue marine chapters. Most factions don't have anti-marine poisons per se, they just use brute force. Dark Eldar, Tyranids etc. I could be misremembering but the herb thing only works on space wolves because of their geneseed, and that means only them because they don't have successors. Or maybe it was an alchohol only thing, it's been a while since I read the books.

Chaos infiltration of Fenris happened in the novels once. Not sure how canon that is or if it was mentioned anywhere else.

How do u sleep at night with all the caffeine

We played a very lax (and fluff expanded) game of deathwatch.
Now, what this means is, we mixed the d&d system with deathwatch.
Now, with this out the way.

one of the blood ravens denied every reward there was for him and just demanded a retirement in a civilian world with sanctioned xenos as it's planetary governor that was once besieged by everything and everyone.
The only reason it survived was because his Ancestors were able to traverse and converse with beings that would even cause the warp entities to rip their eyes out with madness.
He stays there to secretly continue the tradition and found love in a barkeeper.


The other comrades know and approve because he showed extreme altruism, loyalty and camaraderie that was 12 of 10 for everyone that was fighting for the right cause and did feats that scared and impresses the shit out of the inquisitors.

The last time we visited the planet, the governor and his wife, who became weak and needed a wheel chair, their children and grandchildren greeted us with wide and open arms.

He was still maintaining his training and was babysitting his small grandchildren with his wife whenever he allowed himself a break while the parents trained the pdf.

Granted, the blood raven still weared the copied dogtags of those who fought and died alongside with him,
his chapter's insignia, and a bright yellow pin with the aquila in black with pride.

Man, i loved that campaign.
