Why do you think guardsmen are almost as well known for stealing as the Bloody Magpies?
Made following this youtube link worthwhile. = D

A better title should have been “Which faction has the second best space marines?”
Jokes aside, don't Mobile Infantry throw nukes around and practically fly? I'm confused how 40K Space Marines beat that when they are beaten by standard bolter rounds. I've also heard that MI armor can tank most anything underneath high explosive or anti-tank rounds.
@@Noah-zz8uw The joke was more that most people never consider that things from 40k actually have weaknesses and can be beaten. I usually just see either "HURR DURR EMPEROR INQUISITION HERESY", or some decade-old fluff that's regularly contradicted by every visual depiction.
@@viperblitz11 yeah. I figured.
@@Noah-zz8uw Starship trooper are the equivalent to the Astra Militarum from 40k, and most people forget about them as a faction entirely because they are just basic infantry with basic weopons... but that's why they are my favorite faction and why I love starship troopers so much, cause they beat an unbeatable enemy with numbers/bullets, as well as heavy weaponry
@@cbcastlecastillo144 perhaps, but soldier for soldier, Mobile Infantry should have what is necessary to beat Cadian Shock Troops, Kasrkin, and even Space Marines in many scenarios.
Here's a bit of lore for the Terran Marines - I remember in the original game manual for StarCraft: Brood War under the field medic it said something to the effect of "the addition of medics in Marine companies has extended the combat lifespan of the individual soldier by well over 8 seconds."
Lol
Yup remember that
For me, the part that cracks me the fuck up is the beautiful use of the well placed word "Well"
Terran marines are less Space Marines and more Imperial Guard with extra armor
I think it just goes to show how much stronger everything else in the Starcraft universe is.
*sees title*
"Wow, is this even a contest?"
Nope
I know, right? The StarShip Trooper MI suit is ridiculously OP. A single one could take out dozens of the other marines from 50 kilometers away with those mini-nukes. They are also way too fast to be brought into range of the other factions' weapons. :P

Ok it's 40k then.
I'm pretty sure nukes by MI are more powerful than boltors but ORGS BEZD
Strike Legion, but hey, who's counting.
Except a Boltor can be fired point blank, the nuke? Not so much. Besides the warhammer space marines could easily survive a nuke that didn't actually detonate on top of them (in the lore they are fully capable of surviving virus bombing with the life eater virus, which is a weapon that make s a nuke look like a love tap in comparison to what it can do to a planet.)
Were Chicken well mobile infantry most likely have small arms similar to boltors
and the Space Marines have the exterminatus device :P
In Warhammer 40k, nothing is overpowered because everything is overpowered. That thing you just saw wipe out an entire squad of Space Marines just got it's head bit off by something else.
Everyone's op except imperial guard
@@joshspink a single impérial guard yes…. But even à space marine chapter would have trouble againts a properly equipped krieg army, I mean your bolter is gonna run out of ammo someday
I mean they aren't that op. The flood easily outrank the tyrrinids if they had the same biomass and 3 jedi could probably take a non psyker space marine

@@SwedishBroManDude what a person who kills demons is more powerful then people who also kill demons
Addendum, concerning StarCraft: given the fact Jim Raynor can get in and out of the suit, it appears that you’re only sealed in the suit if you are conscripted from the prisons. If you’re a normal conscript/volunteer you can get in and out of the combat suit.
Even then, Tychus was a very special case where the Dominion dictator put him in the suit with an automatic death trap to boot
Marine: How do I get out of this chickensh*t outfit?
Raynor: Dude, you just take off the suit.
Thank you. Came to say it. Tychus is the only example I can think of, where the person cannot take off the armor
Tychus explains that he was imprisoned, when talking to Jim Raynor in the bar.
@@cdcdrr by outfit they mean unit. Not the armour.
As much as I enjoy these vids, what’s the point, it’s 40k. It will always be 40k, it’s a universe based on endless war.
Not to mention founded on a society hundreds of thousands of years in the future, where people literally worship technology, as compared to these other universes that are set, at most, several hundred years in the future.
Right, it's unfair to compare Halo humans since they're only in year 2557 versus year 40,000 in WH. Bring out Prehistoric Humans or Forerunners instead who could roflstomp all of WH40k easily.
Well yeah, but the Warhammer 40K universe is like the Superman of sci-fi. Everything is ridiculously overpowered due to being written that way, it's all style and no substance. And I frankly dont even think of the Warhammer universe as that cool. It is inconsistent, they are futuristic marines yet they also use oversized sledgehammers. :S
Not to forget, they have the most varied armies to fight against.
Most other of these franchises only have...what, 2 maybe 3 factions at most.
40k has 8 different factions...(if you condense the pure Chaos factions).
Chaos.
Traitor Space Marines.
Tau and their slave allies.
Eldar.
Dark Eldar.
Necrons.
Tyrannids.
Orks.
Need I say more.
Emil Sohn when you are a 2.1/2.5 meters high demigod of a man, clad in nigh-impenetrable armor, using a powerhammer as long as you are does make sense

Not true about the Starcraft marine armor being "life-long". You can get in and out of it at will more or less. The armor you see in the trailer was one specific version that was meant to be a prison for the person inside it. Hence, it's permanent.
Not exactly, the suit that Thycus wore (which is the character that appears in the trailer of Wings of Liberty) was specifically modified for that function but it was not a permanent prison suit either, what they did to this suit was in the words of Matt Horner, install a sophisticated transponder which was designed to emit a pulse that would immediately deactivate the vital organs of Thycus killing him in case he will try to take off the suit or someone else will try to remove the suit, this was obviously a preventive measure implemented by Menks to ensure that he would not try to escape and that he would keep his word to kill Kerrigan at the first opportunity, I imagine that in addition to that the suit should contain some security mechanism like a system that will warn those in charge of monitoring Thycus which would warn them if he tried to take off his suit, but beyond that the suit he was wearing was no different to the standardized suits of the Marines Corps.
@@RexMK- His suit was just as permanent as prison. It was welded together to prevent removal. You can argue that someone could remove it but in the same vein you can break someone out of prison, as well. There were two ways the suit was used in Starcraft: for regular infantry it could be removed or for prisoners serving a sentence it was permanently sealed until they died or their sentence was served.
Rex MK-0.153 no he did not wear a regular armor. Raynor wears a regular armor which he can just get in and out of, same as every other terran marine. The conscripted criminals are brainwashed so they think that they serve of their own free will. Tychus is a special case in all regards abd does not reflect the typical terran marine.
Basically, if Tychus tries to take off the suit, he dies. If he fails to kill Kerrigan, he dies.
This discussion is HERESY!
The moment 40k got involved everyone else was playing for second
Wrong, if warframe gets involved only 0s everyone going to have to play. ( We have a guy that freeze time! )

@@TheDragonfriday *We have a guy that freeze time!*
Psykers: Just time?
The 40k marines have 3 lungs, 2 hearts, a gland in their mouth that makes acid, ribs are fused together, and their bones have ceramic or some shit, ability to eat basically anything for substance, and a bunch more stuff I'm forgetting. Their armor cant even be compared to a tank of today, and they can live for thousands of years.
They can see in extreme low-light conditions even without optical assistance (Occulobe), acquire knowledge by eating (Omophagea), have a pre-stomach that can digest or neutralise dangerous substances (Preomnor), require no sleep (Catalespean Node), enter voluntary medical comas to survive extreme trauma (Su-san Membrane), track through taste (Neuroglottis), and biomechanically interface directly with their Power Armour to use it at a reflexive level (Black Carapace).
Also, the eldest known Space Marine alive in the current continuity, not counting those contained in stasis, sustained in Dreadnought armour (Bjorn the Fell-Handed is over ten thousand years old) or thrown out of time by the currents of the Warp, is Lord Commander Dante of the Blood Angels Chapter, who is believed to be around 1'547 years old.
Not thousands, more like 500-1000. Only few live that long
@@jamesjudice3184 Technically they can live far longer than that. Granted I'm referring to a Dreadnought, but Bjorn the Fell-Handed met the Emperor once, before the Horus Heresy. He's still alive, though he spends most of his time in stasis.
@@jamesjudice3184 do we really know how long they can live i dont think theres ever been a case of a space marine dying of old age
I thing they have more then 2 hearths,

Of course 40k wins, 40k is a ridiculous dangerous universe and its dwarfs most others in its scale
Kyber Cat except marvel and DC comics
Or Bolo, the Culture and Xelee universe
the fact that the main way of FTL travel takes them through a literall hellhole says something hehe
I hate the popular opinion that 40k is boring and OP, 40k is a low tier OP universe. In many other universes such as Lovecraft, DC/Marvel, Xelee, culture and many others (hell those personal shields in Dune would fuck over the imperial guard so much it isn't funny) so many that are over powered just to be over powered and 40k just gets shat all over by these other universes.

HERESY
Seems like some heresy to me, pal
Purge the heretic
In starcraft, only Tychus's armor was designed to never come off, as he was previously sentenced to a life in prison, the other marines could get out of their armour

It's WH40K. it's always WH40k.
Not for the logistic
In the grim darkness of the 41st millenium, there is only awesome ridicoulosness
Space Marines are utterly OP because everything they have to fight is utterly OP... that is just how 40k works...
The emperor did a good job
Well, technically speaking, a universe and military as large as the Imperiums fighting on so many different fronts without rest and the fact they can keep all of these controlled, reinforced and supplied means their logistics would have to be run by Batman on ten pounds of cocaine.
*Reads video title* Oh sweet, a contest for second place.
40k Marines win because all of them have to scale to Sly Marbo.
Seriously, those contests are pointless. 40k ALWAYS wins. 40k is the tabletop version of that kid on the playground who always insisted to be everything-proof with a nuklear rocketlauncher.
Sebastian Abele Heinleins. MI would win very easily.... What's the range on a bolter? 12 inches, try a nuke at 12 kilometers from a dude that eats tank formations for breakfast.
Yeah but don't engage bvr. A single MI could take 100 space Marines easy
Jason Main space marines can survive nukes. And they have more nukes than you do. Also more planets and ships and manpower and production and psionic powers and everything else.
They have sensors for basically every kind of sense (x-ray? Infrered, ultraviolet, sonic, radioactive, heat, motion, radar, etc) and have been able to accurately fire their bolters up to 3,000 meters away.
40k wins
40k always wins.
Strike Legion says hello.
3,000 meters isn't far at all ya know? Mile long shot? Only twice that. pshh. Normal human trained can do a mile, a M1 tank can kill past that 3km, then you got future sci-fi MI flying around. Although I must admit taking a 10million degree blast to the face and living does make those space marines kinda like gods.

I think it is more interesting to rate how powerful the space marines are in their respective universes.
In 40k space marines are no where near the most scary things in existence, while in Starship Troopers nothing matches the mobile infantry.
Be Careful here because the Mobile Infantry in Starship Troopers are Army and in fact if I remember the book, the Marines in Starship Troopers are actually ass and are used how Marines are supposed to be used which is protecting navy.
@@Seriona1 nah, starship troopers in the book are super troopers. Their armor costs a fortune. Each Mobile Infantry unit is near equivalent of a helicopter in price or so.
starship troopers MI can blow up whole cities by themselves, while darting around at incredible speeds. They'd give the Warhammer marines a run for their money for sure.

No mention of the Astartes having acid spit, a third lung for breathing water, nearly unbreakable bones, the ability to take knowledge directly from an enemy by eating their brain, and their ability to stay awake for weeks by sleeping half of their brain at a time.
Okay, so I knew about all of that stuff beforehand, but when in Terra's tits were they able to monch on some mad cranium and get crazy knowledge? Is this one of the organ implants, Primaris fuckery, or what?
There is an organ which allows them to get genetic information from lets say, some animal they eat in the field. Assuming that instinctive behavior is encoded in the DNA, its for developing survival strategies on hostile planets on the fly. And no, i doubt any sane Marine would think of eating an enemys brain, its a heretical act in the end. But its common in some Traitor Legions, i think. At least i heard, for example the Iron Warriors eat their Slaves if there is nothing else.
+Bad Medicine It's called the Omophagea, it's an implant that has been part of the standard Astartes creation process since the beginning. A mutation in that organ is what led to Blood Angels' rituals for drinking blood.
+Helini Knallkopp There are at least two Blood Angel successor chapters that use this ability frequently to learn about their enemies.
Astartes are so ridiculously over-augmented it's a wonder why anyone ever bothers doing these kinds of comparisons with them.
ok ill be honest that really wouldn't help to much
1. Acid spit even the strongest Acid that can exist can only eat through things so fast (Xenomorph acid is completely impossible) on top of that a thin coating of plastic and your acid wont do shit regardless.
2. a third lung for breathing water I mean ok (but shouldn't your armor do that and how often are you going to be fighting underwater that a third lung to breath it is even nessary)
3. nearly unbreakable bones (I dont remember that one I know their Bones were ahell of a lot stronger but given everything in 40k or just in real life I actually think nearly unbreakable is a bit of a stretch)
4. "by eating their brain" that isn't as effective as you think the one time its used it took days for the space marine to find the information he wanted and even than that information managed to leave out that the area was a trap.. :P granted that was the only time that ability was ever really used in any form of story so it could just be an outlier they haven't corrected. (do they make it so space marines are ok with eating brains.... I feel like that's a big issue.... also what if the brain is none carbon based..... what happens if its acidic or poisonous..... this just seams gross to be honest)
5. "ability to stay awake for weeks by sleeping half of their brain at a time. " that is not how biology works or brain chemistry.... but ill admit that one is really cool.... still dosnt make sense but cool

Terrans can enter and exit their marine armour. However, many Terran marines are criminal conscripts who are locked into their armour.
MrReyno Tanks That’s fucked up, so how long do they go without seeing their dicks ?
Wait...they lock Criminals into power armor...? That seems like a really bad idea.
They are resocialized convicts
blackvial no such thing
Angel Lara. No they have nueral implants that make them safe and loyal. Also, the books explain that they can exit their armor. Only the specific character Tychus ( in the cutscene you see in the video ) is explicitly mentioned to be locked into his armor
As a W40k fan, I always apreciate seeing them in a video, but let's be honest, it's unfair. The Imperium is at war since 15k years and dedicated all his power, resources, and technologies to war. They count casualties in planets or solar system scales. Let's see what Halo can be in 10k years, and you'll be able to make a real comparison :)
Well in 10k years if the Imperium havnet already killes of the T`au well they are probably gonna give the Imperium a run for the money and just be one of the top dogs Even if they got 5k years they would stil be far more advanced than whatever the UNCE could make in 10k years now that the Imperium is stagnant and only have begun evolving with the return of Gullimen. If it took T`au 6k years to go from cavemen tech to spacetravels and laser weapons and giant mechs than just imagin what they will become in 10k years
@@Marthe535 Well, the fact is, the imperium could wipe out those xenos races, just that if they put the force to destroy x or y xeno race, the other would have an easy prey on the imperium
EDIT: also the t'au... yeah, in the long run they will probably be a big threat, but right now, with the nids and chaos, they aren't that big of a threat
i couldnt concentrate watching infinity war, i kept imagining the space marines from 40k orbital dropping and fighting thanos and his army
well they would have wrecked Thanos' army, which means Thor would have been able to stop thanos from getting the last stone
Ready Player One needed some 40k.
lol same for me when i watch a movie, i'm like "Oh come one just drop a squad of space marines"
I think many of us had the same thought in Infinity War, since Thanos's army basically consisted of cut-rate genestealers.

Seriously though, just the Grey Knights alone could take on the entire Spartan Corps. And even assuming Space Marines and Spartans were equal, their mindset means the Marines would win. The spartans are devoted to protecting humanity, yes, but the Marines do so with religious fervor. To suffer defeat is the greatest heresy.
Plus a space marine’s armor is made of such tough material none of the others would probably even have a chance of doing much more than scratching the paint short of a spartan laser.
Sees space marine armour is primarily co.posed of ferrosteel and plasteel, *laughs in antinaterial rifle*, seriously though, 4 guys with .50 cal machine guns could shred a space marine's armour in seconds (it would protect the SM completely up until the point the last ceramite layer shattered), then he would be riddled with holes.
TheSocialistsAreComing It’s not the MOST protective it could be, but that’s assuming that the guys can get the shots off fast and precisely enough to get through before the Space Marine can kill them. And even if they get through, space marines are dummy tough, with buffed up skeletons, backup organs, the whole lot. And you’re right, the armor would eventually give way under heavy fire.
If you shoot the exact same spot.
@@viscounttudon68 the combimed layers of ceramite and plasteel are no more than 3ish inches thick. The ceramite breaks layer by layer like modern antiballistic armour, its just slightly better than modern ceramic plates. A .50 cal can punch through one end of a modern vest and out the other. It can penetrate the majority of the way through 4 feet of steel (see engine blocks). Thus means a .50 cal will immediately go through the plasteel/ferrosteel layer, and only 1 to 5 shots would break through the ceramite. The ceramite shatters as a whole plate layer by layer btw, if it didnt the bullet would go right through it because of how little energy it would absorb.

@@thesocialistsarecoming8565 do you know the density to the ceramite and plasteel? it could have a higher density then tungsten, so regardless the thickness I doubt a 50. could punch though it and considering a space marine weighs around 1100-2200 pounds and quite regularly get shot at by 75-100 caliber projectiles I doubt a 50. would go though I think it would scratch the paint or maybe put a very little dent in the armor itself. (sorry for bad English)
7:26 Starcraft armor DOES come off. It IS removable. The main character [Jim/James Raynor] is seen several times in all the games both in and out of armor.
SteelWolf13 i dont think he does much research
Yeah. Honestly, I think SC should place 2nd on this list. Their armor is a full grade above spartan and definitely on par with mobile infantry. And their c14 rifles put out more kinetic energy per second than a scorpion tank.
Anything spartans would typically have wouldn't put a dent in that armor and anything the terran have would rip spartans in half.
Although he is correct that terran do severely lack training, he also forgets that the terran are descendants of a prisoner ship that crashed and then they built civilization from the wreck. These are intensely hardy and naturally badass people.
Yeah. Tychus' armor is locked on because he's a prisoner - it's a mobile cell that he can still use to fight when his commanders permit it. Regular troops only wear theirs for battle.
Even Raynor tells a joke about that: "Why can´t you take off your armor? did you bust the zip or something?"
Since 60% of most Korpulu's space marines are convicts. Who also die in the line of duty, saying it is on for life is kind of fitting.

Astartes (space marines): out rifles are .75 caliber

Also the C-14 rifle is significantly more powerful than any of the other weapons used by the other space marines. For that reason alone, the SC marine should be much higher on the list, if not the 1# spot.
@@nephithegreat1335 more powerful than a bolter i dont think
@@megamente7849 ok for some reason my previous 2 comments didn't save, so hopefully this one will. Basically, 40k Space Marines come in many shapes and sizes, and in many different power levels. There are some bolter rounds (plasma I think?) that do significantly more than the usual, and as such probably much more than a SC marine, but I'm just referring to standard 40k marines with standard bolters. SC Marines use the C-14 gauss rifle, which fires an 8mm spike of depleted uranium at hypersonic speeds. As such, these bullets travel almost 2x as fast as a .50 bmg round. These are also spikes, not normal bullets, meaning there is no ejected case, but the entire round is fired, again being extremely large. These rounds are fired at 1500 rpm. As such, the C-14 is much more powerful than a friggin A10 warthog.
As such, this is much more firepower than a standard 40k space marine. The real kicker here though is the fact that these are the cheep, massed ground infantry units. They are made extremely quickly from readily available resources, and are nothing short of extremely common. This video does not take into account that most SC marines also have a sort of aim bot, and frequently use a drug referred to as "stim pack" which which heightens their reaction speed and aggressiveness, allowing them to fight much quicker and deal more damage. This Eckharts says that there is not much lore given for SC, and while he is correct that it does not have as much as Halo or 40k, it seems pretty obvious to me that Eckharts never bothered to read the full wiki page. Sorry this was long.
TLDR:
The SC marine's rifle is more powerful than an A10 warthog's autocannon, and they have much more going for them than Eckharts explains
@@megamente7849 the c-14 kicks the crap out of the bolter. When you do the math, it is not even close.
@@megamente7849 The bolter is honestly a garbage weapon by even modern human standards. An AR-15 w/ something like m855a1 or m995 has a greater penetration value over a massive round like a bolter's .75 only moving at 850 FPS. so like an AR could potentially one tap a SM with good ammo.
The idea of the bolter and its stats were developed in the 1980s when body armor was a flak jacket and prayers so a mini grenade launcher would have seemed like the bees knees. Power weapons and heavy bolter are a different story tho.
plasma pistols and melta guns might put the SM back on top.
You forgot that the emperor protects
amen
One misconceptions painted by the opening cinematic of StarCraft 2 wings of liberty is that marines are stuck in their suit until they die, that is simply not true. Only convicts were put in these kind of suits so that they function as their mobile prison cells and if they'd do something wrong they could be killed by their suit
Der Don I thought it would be pretty obvious that it's only typhus who is stuck in there, considering one of the first dialogues when you meet Mat is "someone's modified his armour so that he is locked in" but people don't pay attention I guess
Plus in the first mission Raynor is in armor, while in the rest of the game he isn't.
Imperitus that right there, I've thought that everyone would've gotten it by now because of that. And the second that you talk with Tychus and he states that he is in some kinda debt.
It was not even all convicts, it was just tychus because he had a deal with mengsk, the leader of the terran dominion in person
I will admit though, there is some credence to the theory, and there are apparently a lot of convicts in there, as one of the marines lines is something about getting out of the "Chicken shit outfit." or something along those lines.
7:30 only Tychus got in for life. The armor does come off generally, you also forgot their shields.
Yeah
Nah mate, stormtroopers are surely the most powerful, they feature ceramic armour, and can hit blast points far too accurate for sand people.
R Soul you understand, that there is no 1 type of Space Marine in 40k. He over generalises everything about them, even though he mentions and shows several Chapters. Take the Legion of the Damned. These guys are one of several things; the souls of dead Marines made manifest, time travelers from a worse timeline than the 40k one, erasing themselves from history to change the timeline, and an entire chapter (1000 Marines, because any more is too deadly to the Imperium) got lost in the Warp. These guys can teleport, and eternally burn as they die a painful death, whilst killing everything that faces the Imperium. Tell me how Stormtroopers are better than these guys?
Kazuto Kirigaya not sure if you recognise sarcasm mate, I was attempting to highlight how pissweak stormtroopers are, as they cannot hit the side of a barn, and their ceramic armour is vulnerable to jumped up teddy bears, but hey, thanks for the lessons regarding 40k, I feel totally chastened now, your nerd power is clearly superior to my own.
R Soul Simply put, it's kinda difficult to tell what is and isn't sarcasm in text.
Kazuto Kirigaya agree 100%, people often make wildly foolish claims in TH-cam comment sections, I thought what I initially posted was stupid enough that people would recognise it as such, we all really need a sarcasm emoji or something.

While Space Marines are cool i prefer the Guard. I was in the Army and its easier to relate to a Guardsman then it is with a Space Marine.
exactinmidget92 I suppose it depends on what you want. Guardsman already basically exist in the real world, as soldiers. But the Space Marines are these larger than life demi-gods, mixed with lore from Europeans knights (mostly, obvious exceptions are the White Scars etc). I like them because they can’t be real yet are steeped in tradition which is very much accessible in our world.
dont get me wrong, i dont hate the SM its just that with my military experience it easier to relate with the Guard.
The thing I like best about the guard is that they represent how humans feel. Alone in a cold uncaring universe, we gather together in our tens, hundreds, thousands, and millions. We join together and demand to exist no matter the cost. I always liked the dynamic many of the space marines have with the Imperial Guard. The imperial guard look at them as their fighting saviors while the space marines look at the guard as a source of inspiration and a reason to keep fighting. Check out this vid, the animation isn't great but the speech is awesome. th-cam.com/video/qyGDo1ARpjI/w-d-xo.html
I feel like no one could really relate to the space marines unless we still had knightly ordos running around the world. There's no real experience comparable these days to being a chosen warrior raised and trained only to be a warrior. Which is nice 40k has that fantasy side of escaping reality while it also has something that you can relate to real life.

"Give me a hundred Space Marines. Or failing that give me a thousand other troops." - Rogal Dorn, Primarch of the Imperial Fists.
And yet, a hundred Space Marines is probably akin to a hundred thousand humans - or more - depending on situation. A hundred Space Marines could slaughter millions upon millions of humans in a short span of time and would most likely be able to take on entire armies (of our tech-level), again, depending on situation.

Anyway eating only is for the weak and their power armors provide all the nutrients they need. (the only "exception" I know of are Space Wolves, drinking and eating toxics and indigestible wilde life, from their planet.)

In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war.
Some points of information about Terran marines and the StarCraft Universe in general:
- Up till recently, Terran Marines were mostly convicts or dissidents rapidly converted into soldiers using a neural reprogramming method which makes them sufficiently obedient and skilled to be sent into battle. The idea is as close as you can get to "mass produced human infantry". Hence the label "cookie cutter soldiers". This also worked as a convenient lore explanation for why you can train and field soldiers so fast in the game. However, as of the most recent point in the StarCraft storyline, Neural Resocialization has been deemed unethical by the Terran Dominion government, and marines are now mostly volunteers who go through normal military training.
- Terran Marines can get in or out of their armour (generally called CMC armour) wherever they want. When Tychus Findlay got locked into his armour, he had been a convict for many years, and the Terran government did this to him as part of a deal: "kill a certain person for us, Findlay, and we'll set you free!"
- That said, the fact that you can live with the armour on for an entire campaign shows how complete the armour's life support is, including a built-in-latrine". It also says something about the armour's power source (a miniature cold fusion reactor). No matter how long a campaign takes, I've never heard of a CMC armour user having to "recharge" his armour.
- CMC armour is also highly customisable. There's one instance in the comics of a mercenary firing mini-missiles from all over his CMC armour, gundam style. The added strength of the armour also allows the user to, by himself, lift a blast door, or wield heavy weapons that an unarmoured human cannot lift, like the Gauss Cannon.
- Due to how ubiquitous CMC armour is (the user could be anyone from a redshirt to a general), there is no niche in StarCraft equivalent to the MI, Spartans or Astartes, whose status as elite warriors is in part expressed in their power armour and equipment. The closest, in terms of elite status, might be the Ghosts, being superhuman black ops.
- Most of the Terran factions we see in StarCraft are the descendants of humans exiled far away from Earth. (Believe it or not, Earth has yet to appear in any StarCraft game or novel.) They now live in a part of the galactic fringe known as the Koprulu Sector. Their style reflects a "Wild Wild West"/"frontier colonist" theme. Their heroes (at least the story protagonists) are more like "space cowboys" than space marines".
- There is a human faction centred on Earth, the UED. They're much more technologically advanced than the K Sector Terrans, but are still impressed by the latters' weapon designs and level of militarisation. When they sent an expedition to the K Sector, they mostly converted and used local assets, so we don'tknow what the full set of UED military equipment looks like.
Bro literally the best comment I have ever seen on this entire platform props to you for going through that entirely
You forgot to mention the other version of power armor Adeptus Astartes use, such as Terminator armor and Centurion armor. These give them even MORE of an edge.
HORRIOR those suits of armor are extremely rare
blackvial if you go by pre gathering storm lore there are roughly over 100k terminator suits
HORRIOR there's really no point of mentioning other armors since its already op compare to the other universe. I don't no about 40k universe am more into halo I would like to know 40k but my experience with the community is quite toxic like they bash the other universe with out giving a reasoning or analyzing other universe. Pretty much dick measuring contest

The Terran marine was incredibly underrepresented in this video. I will concede upfront that all of the other troops would defeat them in a 1 on 1 fight, and they are largely disposable, it’s unfair to leave out other details. Most marines are ex-convicts that are brain-panned upon being initiated into service. The Marine corps is made up of a vast array of soldiers, since different members were given different weapons based on their skills. Some had flamethrowers, Grenade launchers, sniper rifles, and some of them had jet packs in the early iterations of their combat armor. The most hardened criminals were sent into the Firebat Reaper Corps, where they used their aggression to their advantage, specializing in close-range combat. Firebats had tough armor and flamethrowers while reapers used dual-wield pistols and jump packs. The point of the marines is to act as one large cohesive unit, with specialized soldiers covering the weaknesses of the others. Marines are far more comparable to Clones than the space marines of the W40K universe. The combat armor IS removable for most marines, but not THIS marine.
The marine depicted is Tychus Findlay. He is a good friend of Jim Raynor, who is the main character in the StarCraft lore. Tychus was a prisoner of the Terran Dominion, ruled by Arcturus Mengsk. Mengsk had it out for Raynor, as they used to work together but parted ways when Mengsk fed his second in command, Sarah Kerrigan, to the Zerg, a deadly alien species similar to xenomorphs. Kerrigan had been conspiring against Mengsk so he attempted to kill her. Instead of dying, Kerrigan was assimilated into the swarm and became an incredibly powerful Psionic being. Raynor had a love affair with Kerrigan before her transformation and wanted revenge against Mengsk. Tychus was sealed up in a permanently sealed armor suit by Mengsk, and the suit was also primed with a “kill switch” that would activate if Tychus defected. The deal was that if he killed Kerrigan, his record would be wiped and he’d be a free man. He was then sent to Raynor to act as a spy and to convince Raynor to kill Kerrigan. Raynor chooses to save Kerrigan instead. He uses an artifact to de-infest her and, when Tychus goes with him to collect her, he tries to kill Kerrigan. Raynor blocks the bullet with his armor and kills Tychus.
He seriously underestimates Terran Marines in this video. Starcraft C-14 Gauss Rifles are incredibly underrated. They fire 8mm DU spikes (not standard bullet rounds) at hypersonic speeds. Each spike is about 8 cm long, and weighs about 80-90 grams. In the end, a projectile flying that fast, and being that heavy is around the strength of a 25-30mm round. C-14 Gauss Rifles also have a fire rate of 30 rounds per second, but normally Marines fire in 10 round bursts unless they are using Stimpacks. It also standardly holds around 200 of these spikes before needing to be reloaded. That's still not all. The Terran Marine's armor also essentially gives them aim bot among many other sensors, including IFR. It also augments their strength and speed. I would easily rank a C-14 over a bolter firing only standard rounds, and I'd rank every weapon on this list above the MA5D rifles the Spartans have. That's not even getting into how the Terran Marines would probably outnumber every soldier in this video by a lot, or how the special forces of Terran, like Ghosts fire 25mm Psionically charged rounds at similar velocities, and can cloak to the point only advanced sensors can detect them. Terran Marines have IFR sensors in their suits, but still cannot detect Ghosts.

Pretty sure that is the Imperial Fists. They can't spit acid anymore.

Finally starship troopers woah I thought I’d never see the day sees you talk about the book you crushed my dreams
I'm glad it wasn't movie ST.
Great book, read it many years ago. Hated the depiction in the movie. M.I. were total bad asses in their suits !
wιѕegυy I know it’s a joke entry in one of these there honestly one of the worst sci-fi army’s of all time in my opinion but that’s what I like about them
Reads Heinlein:
Remember the good old days when you could burn 50,000 civilians to death and nobody would call it a war crime?
Pepperidge Farm remembers.
How is it a joke entry? Try reading the book, Starship Troopers was Heinlen's first real success as an Author, and the MI were anything BUT incompetant in the book. The film takes the prominant names (not always their sexes however, no women in the MI), some of the prominant events (Klindathu for example), and leaves out EVERYTHING else, including the Mobile Infantry Power Armour.
There is a LOT of evidence to suggest that the modern view of Power Armour was BORN in the book, every suit of Power Armour you see in modern games/fiction has its genesis in the Mobile Infantry Combat Armour....
Interesting inclusion, yes, joke? No, but only if you are talking about the BOOK version of the Mobile Infantry and NOT the film version.
Spartan: We have the best reflex, skills, durability and the function to work individually or as a team.
Space Marine: That's cute.

How many WH40k movies out there showing those powers and skills?
They're called books and lore
Why do you need movies. Unlike fucking Halo, 40k isn't particularly popular because it isn't a mild FPS and is in fact based on a tabletop game, which more or less prevents it from getting things like movies or so you would say. Instead they have books, lots and lots of books, read the HH or something, all 50 volumes of it.
Granted though, space marines more or less ARE grunts, the real elite heavy infantry of the imperium are the custodes, the space marines are just relatively elite.
Workshop created the Space Marines claiming they are the best of the best of the best with inhuman skills and powers beyond logic...cant show them on a movie or animatic, just couse...its Lore. Make sense :v
StarCraft Marines aren't permanently sealed into their suits. That was a punishment leveled against the worst convicts, like Tychus Findlay, where they were expected to die fighting. You can see the main character Jim Raynor in and out of marine armor
I think you brush off the 40k realism too much. It’s when you start talking about the Warp then it’s gets unrealistic.
You never even mentioned the weaponry.
Rustymcnut according to some people on the discord he doesn't like 40k at all and doesn't talk to them about anything. Nothing can be done.
great... boring
Fire a warning shot from the Nova Cannon. Heresy will not be tolerated.
There is literally no realism in WH40k. From demographics to biology to stratage to physics, WH40k runs on the rule of cool and the rule of cool alone.
And I wouldn't have it any other way.
well it is fiction, but I can believe that genetics can be altered to increase bone density and have a fused ribcage than I can with mystic space monks with biological organisms that allow psychokinetic capability as well as an assload of other stuff. The Warp is around the sea level there, the basic tech and genetic augmentation is pretty believable. Fully automatic .75 explosive rounds I can believe. For me, its only when the Warp capabilities get involved that I start suspending the disbelief. The rest is fictional but still believable on a scientific level
Poor comparison because the lower two are regulars in that army vs the special forces in the high two spots.

How about Ghost vs. Eversor ...hm... okay, i would know the outcome...
MI would beat all
Defyer 64 No they aren't, you've probably never read a 40k book, or if you have they were only space marine battles books. The Imperial Guard, and Astra Militarum are the standard Imperium forces. Just because doesn't mean they are standard military.
Defyer 64 yeah if you know anything about the lore you'd know that the imperial guard is extremely common in every conflict. It's the space marines that are the "small" thing they sometimes throw at battles.
The moment I heard him say witch one is deadliest I think we all know who won. Hint, it’s warhammer 40k
Technically master chief isn’t a space marine. The rank of master chief is a navy rank. He’s more of a futuristic navy seal.
Marines are naval infantry per definition. The UNSC "Marines" like the United States or Royal Marines are an organizational service branch with different ranks, but that is just their name, as are their ranks.However Just like the Navy and Army have pilots despite not being in the Airforce, the Naval infantry are Marines, despite not having affiliation with the service branch.
Actually that isn't completely true, The Spartan Program when compared to IRL Combat Forces is more like the Navy Seals than the US Marine Corps. Master Chief operates solely under the command of the UNSC Navy as a Special Operations Soldier not as a typical Marine. He works along side of UNSC Marines, just like Navy Seal Snipers work along side of the US Marines, however he is not classified as a UNSC Marine, just as US Navy Seals are not classified as US Marines.
Hellfire918 the marine corps is not a special forces unit. Its a branch. Special forces equvalent in the corps would be the US MEU or the Force recon. Thats about it
I just changed the wording to combat forces because it was supposed to show the comparison of the Spartan Program, which is a spec ops, to a military branch such as UNSC Marines & how just because the Spartan are technical Navy Infantry they were not in fact UNSC Marines, just like US Navy Seals are not US Marines.
NEEEEEEERD
I think you kinda forget the nugget about each M. I. suitable for carrying a nuclear warhead.
That sounds pretty deadly to me. If you wanted to focus on which faction is deadlier, there you go. Your regular space marines sure might be powerful. Yet they are 'regular space marines'. Starship Troopers wins. 40k at second place seems legit. As for Spartans and SC marines, you have to acknowledge the game, just like you acknowledged the rule of cool running in WH40K without nerfing them. SC marines can fire on armored capital ships and take them down. It's just a matter of numbers. And there is many, many marines in the battlefield, as you said. Their armor is trash in comparison, yet their weapons are far deadlier than you seem to think. They sure can't win against M. I. and Space Marines. Yet they have their chances against Spartans, especially with stims. These marines are used to fight Tyranid like creatures (but discount) and advanced aliens using personal plasma shields (Protoss) and they still get through. Mjolnir armor is toast. Cheap doesn't mean unefficient, and quality means nothing against entire regiments with specialized units.

Yeah, they sure would. I still think 40k would win though, but NOT with space marines. Those are slightly out of their league against true Starship troopers MI.
Meh, they will run out of nukes before the IG runs out of bodys. Also the Krieg's will find the nuked battlefield very homely.
TBF being stronger than the Tau aint hard, the tau just survive cuz they keep getting lucky with all the things that could crush them looking another way cuz they have better things to do.
40K should be excluded from these lists it just saps the enjoyment, oh I wonder who’s gonna win. Of course it’s 40K everything in that universe is on supersteroids
Ryan Garmham We concur all that is not for the emperor for he protects man. We shall concur all the lands all the top 10s till no heresy or xeno is left alive
THIS COMMENT IS HERESY
Yes, inquisitor, this comment right here.
Herecy!

Short answer: Space Marines
Long Answer: this video
Starcraft is very heavy on the lore. I think you ought to read some of the books before including them because you unintentionally misrepresent them. The book “Heavens Devils” by William Dietz goes over marine training and it’s about as much as halo marines. It’s not like they’re just thrown in the armor without any training and sent to their deaths. Their armor described in the novel “Queen of Blades”. (Aaron Rosenberg) as impervious to small arms fire and massively augments strength and speed. Terran marines aren’t themselves augmented, but the conscripted convicts are neurally resocialized to ensure safety and loyalty. Also their rifles are gauss assisted. The suit also has internal medical systems to prevent bleeding out and save the marines inside.
And even with that, only Umojan's and UED's forces can hope to survive more than 20 seconds ...
Glad someone else noticed the lack of Marine love... or basic information.
True, Gauss rifles are magnetically powered (similar to guns from Metal Storm)
Terran Marines definitely got the short end of the stick in this analysis. The video could have done a lot more research and talked about the elite marine units like Nova's marines or Raynor and Tychus.
the terren marines could also take there suit off it was just tykes that could not because of plot
Heresy avoided.
imagine if all 4 of these armies teamed up
universe by universe, they wipe out their enemies side by side
Arachnids gone, Tyranids gone, Flood gone, Zerg gone, and many more
*Please someone make this*
The astartes could easily Do it on their own
Tyrainds hungry.. hungry... Need more biomass
@@kekkoinen They actually couldn't. There are only about 1 million space marines at the Imperium's disposal, and the combined numbers of the Zerg, Tyranids, Arachnids, and Flood would wipe them to extinction
The hardest thing about comparing Terran Space Marines to the others on this list is, these guys are the run of the mill regulars. So they are actually the equivalent of Imperial Guard from the 40k and those random Marines that roll into Covenant grenades from Halo. They are really not the "Elite of the Elite" like Spartans or 40k Marines that you're trying to compare them too. I've not read Starship Troopers in a long time so I don't actually have much of an input on them with the exception of the Personal Nukes they had. Those. Things. Were. Awesome.
40k marines arent elite of the elite either.
Well I mean their not the bottom rung of the later. Space Marines in SC are. Hahaha I think they would be more akin to the Imperial Guards if anything.
Yeah, SC marines are just the basic grunts, not the best of the best. A terran ghost is really their "elite" forces, with the genetic engineering, psychic abilities and powerful tech.
Ghosts are single operatives right? That's more equivalent to like a vindicare or culexus assassin, and those guys would fuck up SM.
of Anwyl: They can be sent in alone as assassins, but also have battlefield uses as well. Ghosts abilities in the SC games included: firing EMP blasts to take down shields, firing anti-vehicle lockdown rounds and targeting tactical nuclear warheads. Plus they're equipped with a cloaking device that allows them to fire while cloaked. They're pretty much a multi-role unit, though unlike the conventional space marine type, they're more lightly armored but make up for that with their cloak.
Keep this in mind when thinking about the Adeptus Astarties...they are not even CLOSE to being the most powerful soldiers in the 40K universe and can be picked off quite easily by other things such as tyranids, Orks, Eldar, Necrons...to an extent Tau and last but not least Chaos warriors.
The reason Space Marines of the Imperium of man are so out there is they have to be in a galaxy full of things born and bread to kill anything that moves.
Mon'Keigh, you know nothing about the power of my people. The stars lived and died on our command.
Jaeger_Bishop The last part about fearing Chaos Space Marines or Tau is the biggest joke
WE ARE SPACE MARINES AND WE KNOW NO FEAR
Cough cough failbaddon the H\Armless cough cough the greater good, at least farsight is decent
Jaeger_Bishop mmm well I’d say they are the most powerful, but not the most numerous by any means, and they exist in a world filled with many factions who can almost match them. One chapter of space marines can eradicate a world invested with orcs.
The best Space Marine? Well the DOOM Guy/Marine/Slayer of course. :)
Eh depends on the challenge
in 40k i think the doom marine would rather endlessly slaughter deamons than fight another space marine ^^
@@maxst9561 One could argue that Doom Slayer is a predecessor of Space Marines. He could be an Emperor himself.
that first starship trooper suit is almost more like a mech lmao
The Mobile Infantry's Marauder power armor has the speed of an imperial landspeeder. More firepower than a space marine devastator squad, hell they have nukes. Almost as strong as a Dreadnought. And a Mother F*ing lightsaber, in the way of it's cutting beam. All back in 1959. And all these 'Space Marines' with out there gear, this ranking would be right. But the MI is the grate grand daddy of this genre. And an MI with there power suit is deadly. Heck, the only real time you get to see them in the book they are not even going all out. Just a 'pantie raid' to quote the book. One platoon of Mobile Infantry drop pod around a city and just make a bit of nuisance of themselves killing and blowing things up. And then make a city uninhabitable as they then leave the planet. All in under 10 minutes.
And all that just to point out why that planet's government should keep out of the ongoing war against a group that is managing to fight against the MI.
Replicators vs a Unified Star Wars universe (182nd try now, *_I._** WILL NEEEEVER EEEVER GIVE UP!!!)*
coming up on infra-red Dose getting likes on a suggestion works for Eck?
Well keep up the good work maybe at 200 They'll do it.
coming up on infra-red
actual Replicators or Replicators that were given the short end of the stick by the authors like Azurans had gotten because of budget limitations of the show, huh?
Instead of comparing factions to eachother, perhaps ranking them in their influence in respect to their own universes would be an interesting alternate approach.
Those poor Space Marines...
Haha ironically, W40k loses this one badly. Imperium having no influence is basically the whole theme.
correction for SC marines: the armors CAN be taken off, and can allow the user to run up to ~40MPH
The armor itself is mainly made to assist the user in using their primary weapon, the C-14. Reason being most standard weapons from that universe can easily wreck the armor (C-14 was seen overpenetrating the armor in one of WoL cutscenes)
Spartans can run 100 mph
@@deitchj003 yes i know, i was correcting the CMC top speed
Man,starshipp troopers are so OP...
Like they are like spartans,but with insane speed,to much weapons packed in only one suit,like unlimted ammo and they also are many....well they are the first super soldier in novels
MI are basically just the Starcraft Space Marines, given SPARTAN training routines, and 40k tier armor. So yeah, definately the 2nd place, since including the Astartes is just unfair, here. Woulda been more fun if it'd been something like a Nob or Kasrkin.
@@adamcarroll9613 the sororitas could have taken the place of the astartes
"I don't see a scenario where the mobile infantry could win"
While yes a Spartan is faster, a Spartan just has some guns. The MI could just obliterate everything vaguely near the spartan and not worry about the fast-paced, close in fighting where reaction times are that important.
The Spartan or Space Marine wins the fight inside a research facility or some shit hands down.
the Mobile Infantrymen wins the fight against any number of any faction given that he can stay a few miles away and doesn't run out of ammunition.
Yuuup. MI wins in travel speed, sensors, fire power, and weapon range against all the other factions. Since MI's engage from miles away, they would also have to be the most accurate. It isn't a contest.
The MI is waaaay faster than the Spartan in terms of movement speed. The Spartan is certainly faster in reaction times.
I am a diehard Halo fan but I have to agree that the MI is far superior to anything else on this list.
@@Cain3697 seriously, firepower and range, um the Astartes Battle Barge would like a word about that, Battle Barges are capable of killing a planet from orbit, with a single torpedo at that, also Nukes are forbidden technology in 40k, meaning the imperium would declare the MI heretics and approve Exterminatus, meaning the use of said torpedoes
The fact that the Holy Bolter wasn't even mentioned underscores just how incredible the Adeptus Astartes really are.
The Bolter is one of their weakest weapons as it transfers less energy than .50 BMG, the plasma gun however, oh and the Melta, or the volkite weapons oh God.
@@lqg4395 Star Craft's C-14 rifle shoots an 8mm tungsten round at hypersonic speeds. 30 of them a second, to be exact. Could probably kill anything else on the list.
Mars class battlecruiser (40k) vs the malevolence (Clone wars) (alternative use a bellator-class Dreadnought)
+MrHobbit 1234
as demonstrated by this video thats the problem with 40k. the universe is so dangerous that it makes star wars and star treak look like happy children's tv shows.
That's more of a ship vs super weapon kinda fight.
Perhaps a Sovereign woud put up a better fight, let me add it real quick
+Overlord Gaiseric The mars class can mount a nova cannon (i think)
Well for one the malevolence can move faster to gain the advantage and fields thousands of fighters.
Not sure what it's ion cannon would do. Also has better field of fire.
The Mars Class has a few potential one shot weapons if it can hit.
