I can defeat exactly two geese in a fight. If I became a Space Marine, I am confident that I could easily defeat three geese. All jokes aside, this was an awesome video!
The only real factor they are looking for is iron will unbreakablility. Everything else they can give you. They need someone who will never give up, no matter the odds or how much you suffer.
Agri-worlds are also moderately popular recruitment grounds for nomadic chapters lacking a permanent settlement since the population on these worlds are usually more generically healthy than hive, medieval, or death worlds. (Classic farmboy archetype)
There is also something about recruiting from agriworlds that ties really well into the monastic order vide of some chapters. I can totally see a dark angel chapter holding an agriworld demanding candidates from noble families as their tithe to the emperor, and stripping families of their title if the candidates prove unsuitable.
I've watched 100h+ of Warhammer 40K lore in the past 2 years. Feels like I barely scratched the surface. I'm old and I thought I knew Sci-fi from Herbert to Asimov. Great work to Rick Priestley and all the community. You guys are awesome.
I was in the Army for 6 years until I was diagnosed with bone cancer and the way I found out was when I was overseas, the top of my tibia shattered and compounded through my knee and lower leg from a tumor growing inside. The doctors said I was running around on a bone slowly deteriorating over a 6-month period and was amazed that I felt no pain until the bone broke. I've always had a high tolerance for pain, that said I don't believe for a second there's more than 10k people on the planet that could survive surgery without anesthesia let alone what these guys have to go through. Even worse over 75% of U.S. males 18-35 are unfit for military service, even if they could survive the process, they'd be weaker Astarte's.
@@facetankhank Thanks for the vote of confidence, but I was far from what special forces operators endure, in fact I personally know two that put foot to ass for their country, broke it off in the enemy, strapped on a prothesis and went back for seconds. Now those guys were Astarte's material.
It’s true that most of us would die. But have more faith in yourselves guys. You are capable of so much more than you give yourselves credit for. Don’t put yourself down saying “I could never be a space marine if they were real.” Instead, think about what steps you would need to take to be that kind of person, and start working towards that goal. Obviously super soldiers probably won’t exist in our lifetime, but learning to cope with adversity and conditioning your mental toughness will take you far regardless.

Is limb regeneration a thing? With Primaris maybe? It mentions bone and tissue regeneration, yet I see marines lose eyes and hands replacing them with machine. Calgar becomes primaris and yet his eye doesn't regenerate. It feels appropriate for them to get a full on healing factor eventually. The goal is to have every biological advantage possible.
Its thought that a form of "psudo perpetual" was created by the emperor when he created the physical forms of his sons, the primarchs. As Vulkan was the only one of his sons to inherit the emperor being a perpetual. while the rest are very mortal. Space marines could theoretically have limb regeneration because of the forge, but the process would take far too long because of the complexity of a space marines body. The Furnace's regenerative capabilities is more for regenerating heavily damaged organs in a pinch. Instead of regrowing limbs. Humanity *used* to have the technology to regenerate limbs before the age of strife. But that technology is long lost to mankind itself. It's usually simpler, and faster to replace a marines lost limb with a cybernetic implant. If they were to constantly try to regrow the limb with repeated manual activation of the furnace, it could put a marine out of service for years while it regenerates. Which is simply unacceptable since Chapters are limited in size. And out of commission marines still contribute to their cap. Although this is theoretical, as the furnace has never been shown anywhere in lore of being capable of regenerating limbs or even complex structures like the eyes. Its simply used to keep a marines organs from dying, and if the Lung place is pierced or broken, to repair it if its absolutely necessary in the moment. As the furnace is a manual activation type of organ. And it has a cooldown period. Funfact. The furnace is actually one part of the original geneseed used to build the Primarchs. But the other half of the design was destroyed, most likely by the emperor himself in the past.
@@thefallencog I like the idea of it being possible but taking too long, where you have an active need for the Space Marine, so you give them a robotic replacement so they can get back to the fight quick. I think it makes sense to have limb generation though given the level of biotech in 40K now. I know it was most likely around before mankind fell, but I still think it makes sense here, given all the crazy bio engineering that already goes on with Space Marines, cloning, etc. If it can work to regenerate organs why not other parts of the body?

@@thefallencogthey could theoretically give them smaller and smaller cybernetic limbs as the organic limbs grow back. Like the robotic limbs being made of rings or something, and remove on ring as the limb grew back.
Regen is definitely possible as well as having the adeptus machanicus growing new limbs in vats for transplant. But I think the new bionic limbs are seen as upgrades most of the time and the ironhands literally elect to get their healthy limbs removed to have bionics installed lol. But yes they are faster to implement too.
@clutchboi4038 The Iron Hands are doing this due to an error in their gene-seed. It's more like body-dysmorphia. Cybernetics will be a downgrade for Astartes most of the time. They are just a quick replacement because they're better than nothing.
Great video! Was actually looking for a vid that explains more in detail what all these organs are that go inside a Space Marine. I feel badass slaughtering Xenos scum when playing Space Marine 2, I think in the actual universe I would be already dead, a Servitor or be sweeping the floors somewhere lmao
@@t1czer Space Marines, the Adeptus Astartes, have various issues that make them almost unfit to even be counted as anything but disposable soldiers. They're all male, unable to reproduce, generally lack human compassion, and were most likely meant to be terminated like the Thunder Warriors. It's a mess of irony that humanity, both in the 41st millennium and from an outsider's perspective, tend to think of them as perfect.
"It was said that a man's life was but a spark in the Darkness. By the time they were noticed, they had vanished, replaced by brighter and more numerous sparks. Uriel could not accept that. There were men and women who stood against the Darkness. Bright spots of light that stood against the inconceivable vastness of the universe. That they would ultimately die was irrelevant. It was that they stood at all that mattered." Uriel Ventris of the Ultramarines, Nightbringer Chapter 9
How sucky would that be? You go through all these trials only to fail because your genetic makeup isn’t up to par for the new organs. You’d think they would check all that before spending so much resources on the initial trials
If you make it that far you can become a chapter serf and serve on any number of support roles from crewing their ships, handling logistics, armourers, or... Sweeping floors...
15:15 mutations in the Melanochrome organ's gene-seed can be seen in the unusually pale skin of the Blood Angels and the Raven Guard as well as their Successor Chapters, and the dark black skin and red eyes of the Salamanders.
I like to see it as a 2% chance you’ll make it through out of 10 kids in the recruitment 1 survives there is stories of non of them surviving lol it just depends on the person and the strength they carry from the start and the luck you are given and if you’re a named character 🤣
A lot of failed recruits end up becoming chapter serfs. Or servitors, if the chapter is dicks. Being a Chapter Serf is honestly not that bad, tbh, compared to some of the jobs out there.
It's all I wanted to be. Then I thought I could be. I got older and I realised- even if I could, I wouldn't want to be. Agri world - farming. Perfect 👌
I probably wouldn't survive but I guess I would want to be in the Ravengaurd or Space Wolves. My family is from Norway so I would probably end up as a wolf if not a servitor lol.
I understand that they need to narrow it down to only the absolute best candidates to be a space marine, but why would they do it in a way that kills off so many highly capable soldiers?
To be a Space Marine sounds grueling and terrible, with hardships and toil around every corner... except when you compare it to being a Guardsman. They experience the same horrors with little in the way of being able to defend themselves other than superior numbers.
@@hexfart4562 I don't think I would. Besides, not everyone in the world has gone soft. Easy to just say someone would regret something knowing absolutely nothing about them. Children and thinking their worldview is the sum of everything.
The Inquisition is pretty selective with who they make inquisitors. Recruitment varies from Inquisitor to Inquisitor, but an inquisitor has to be a highly talented and inquisitive person with incredible integrity. You can't just give unchecked power to just any jackass aristocrat. Unless you're talking about being an Inquisitorial agent/acolyte, not an actual Inquisitor.
@dominicmarazita8103 I was talking on faction level, which one I would would being chosen in a "what if" universe. I tend to be extreme exactly as inquisition is the extreme faith based faction. On the other edge would be chaos the extreme. I wasn't talk about my real personal talents on real life, but yeah, I have a couple and I'm proud of it. Lol. Besides, I got what you mean.
Anyone know what the name of/where i can find the comic where the space marine smashes that farseer's face in at 10:45? I've been looking for it for a while now but havent found anything yet.
Have any marines considered just training members from birth using cloning and selective breeding. You know instead using the recruiting equilivent of hunting and gather? Also why are they assuming an eagerness to kill is desirable trait in a soldier? A battle might be won by the side that is more blood thirsty, but wars are usually won by those that are better at planning and organizing.
Cloning or replicae as they call it in 40k is a largely poorly understood and lost science. Tech in 40k is in a state where a lot of tech is lost and most of the highest tech equipment in the Imperium is incapable of being replaced. All the advanced technological knowledge and manufacturing is monopolized by a Tech Cult called the Adeptus Mechanicus who actively crack down on the development of new technology. It's a long story. The eagerness to kill thing depends on the Chapter. Many chapters, most notably the Ultramarines place heavy emphasis on logistics. Though many chapters like the Space Wolves or the Flesh Tearers act like berserker barbarians. Astartes are highly traditional and ritualistic, and in many cases have very backwards tactics considering the tech they have. Also many threats the Astartes fight can take advantage of psychological hesitation, to disastrous results. Chaos Daemons and psykers in particular. I cannot be overstated how fucked and backwards the Imperium is. It's honestly its own worst enemy to a ludicrous extent. Don't expect them to act logically or efficiently, since they never will.
Thanks for answering back. Between your answer and a little googling, I have got the distinct impression that the Space Marines were never meant to be independent or ruling institutions. The process of becoming a Space Marine makes you sterile and primarily entertained only by conquest. To me that screams that they were designed to implode or be greatly diminished if they ever left a larger organization. And that fits the setting to a T. Back under the God Emperor days there was probably a completely separate and lost institution that handled their recruitment and childhood education. What would be very darkly humorous is that the space marines probably destroyed them all because they were embarrassed by the fact they needed the equivalent of a guild of kindergarten teachers to function properly. :-) They have been bumbling around ever since just basing recruitment on what ever deranged brain farts came to them instead a scientifically rigorous process.
@@tcironbear21 What you are describing in the first paragraph matches what the Thunder Warriors were. They were the original genetically engineered warriors before Astartes, and they were stronger than Astartes, but short-lived and violent-tempered. The Emperor wiped them all out with the first space marines once he was done with them. This is generally regarded as a Dick Move. I also forgot to mention the Adeptus Custodes, the Gene-enhanced personal guard of the emperor. Unlike Astartes, each Custodes is a unique masterpiece made from the ground up armed with the best equipment, and are the most elite soldiers the Imperium has. However there is only 10000 of them and they mostly stick on Terra protecting the immobile Emperor. I should I have brought them up when you were talking about cloning marines and stuff, but I forgot about them since they aren't Astartes. Some space marine chapters do have non-martial pursuits. The Blood Angels practice the arts, for example, and the Ultramarines are also effectively administrators of their own substate within the Imperium called Ultramar. It's debatable whether or not the Emperor intended to wipe out the Astartes like the Thunder Warriors, since we just don't know. However, one of the reason may Astartes went traitor in the heresy was due to the fact that as the Great Crusade started winding down, the governance of the Imperium started shifting to baseline human civil administrators, which many astartes and their primarchs highly disliked, and wondered what would happen to the Legions in a galazy that no longer needed them. Some, like the Night Lords straight up knew they'd eventually get wiped out due to how much of a necessary evil they were, and fully accepted it. But this whole thing about what the Emperor planned to do with the Legiones Astartes is its own can of worms. Actually, during the Great Crusade and the Horus Heresy, the recruitment standards and training for astartes were much much more lax, due to the constant need for new troops. Back then, the Astartes were the main military force of the Imperium. The reason why recruitment standards are so fucking strict now is due to the fact that half the legions went traitor. The loyalist legions (except for the Space Wolves) were all divided into smaller 1000-man chapters and the reformed Imperial Guard and Navy became the main military force of the Imperium. The Astartes are now mostly elite shock troops, who do deep-strikes into key areas of the enemy, and are mostly autonomous from the regular military hierarchy, mostly just doing what they want, unless the High Lords of Terra or the Inquisition starts to boss them around, which they never like unless they are the Minotaurs or Deathwatch/Grey Knights. Space marines are heavily psycho-indoctrinated and education is part of their training in most cases. IIRC they love using hypno-training to teach them stuff like that. They probably are better educated than your average Imperial. They way you think Space Marines are lines up with their original portrayal in the 1st edition of 40k, where they were just a bunch of roided-out thugs.
@@dominicmarazita8103 You don't install self-destruct buttons because you plan on destroying something. You do it because you are afraid of loosing control over it. The Emperor might have made the Space Marines dependent on other institutions so if they rebelled or were corrupted, he could beat them in a war of attrition.
Considering I'm a full grown adult.....no, Im too old. Apparently Thunder Warrior is possible but you basically go insane with rage if your crappy genetic engineering doesn't kill you first
In the Great Crusade it was possible to make an adult into a pseudo-Astartes, but it was even more dangerous. It was used on Luthor and Kor Phaeron, both of whom and still alove in present day, albeit traitors. Probably lost tech now, though.
Not a chance. Not one person on earth could. Most anyone could hope to be would be an Inquisitor, these would be the SAS and KGB organisations, 99% of army would be Cadian type soldiers. Most of us would be necromunda type thugs or just under hive scum. The unlucky ones would be servitors. . If you read Dante (one of the best books I personally think) the recruitment process is nuts and it’s not even the hardest. Earth just doesn’t have harsh enough environments for us to learn the survival skills needed.
The Inquisition is debatably more intensive in their recruitment than the Astartes are. Though this might depend on the Inquisitor(s) training and selecting new Inquisitors. Inquisitors have to be highly talented inviduals with inquisitive personalities and essentially unbreakable integrity. They also need to be callous individuals who refuse to see issues in the 'little picture', rather focusing on issues that can affect the Imperium as a whole, or at least on the scale of a Sector. They can't just give theoretically unchecked power and resources to some jackass aristocrat because he really hates heretics. The big difference with astartes is that the Inquisition aren't particularly going for physical strength and endurance, but rather innate talent, intelligence, personal character, and strength of will (Which the astartes do test, to be fair). There's definitely less Inquisitors in the Imperium than Astartes, I think. Though a single Inquisitor is comparable with a Chapter Master in terms of power, rather than a standard Astartes.
@ ok I get your point.. maybe so , I have read eisenhorn and ravenor etc,, I will grant you that they have some powerful psychics etc.. so I have to agree,, but there are a few who work for the organisation who are run of the mill desk workers.. all I know is I would hate any of it lol.. I just know I would be hive scum lol..
@@KyleSilk-v1p Yeah there are some Inquisitors who spend their whole life on one investigation, or are responsible for storing and analyzing information and maintaining the Inquisitorial Black Sites. Some even make it their whole career to train other inquisitors, etc. As I said, it depends on the Inquisitor and the Ordo he's part of. Also don't forget that each inquisitor typically has up to thousands of operatives under him acting as an information network or doing his dirty work.

@clutchboi4038 The Iron Hands are doing this due to an error in their gene-seed. It's more like body-dysmorphia. Cybernetics will be a downgrade for Astartes most of the time. They are just a quick replacement because they're better than nothing.
If Alex Jones can survive the surgery, then I can.
Not just any space marine, but a grey knight! 😂
I swear he was born a few thousand years too early. Or he just teleported in from 40K due to warp fuckery💀

He would absolutely survive and probably end up a librarian.
Do a video on becoming a Sanctioned Psyker in the Imperium.
Great video! Was actually looking for a vid that explains more in detail what all these organs are that go inside a Space Marine. I feel badass slaughtering Xenos scum when playing Space Marine 2, I think in the actual universe I would be already dead, a Servitor or be sweeping the floors somewhere lmao
It's crazy that the Astartes are the peak of human capabilities, yet they get one shot by a Gauss rifle held by a simple necron warrior.
Custodians do exist, and they're not called the immortal 10,000 for no reason
Space Marines are just peak, but cheaper. Cheaper to make than Custodies, sho are true peak of humanity.
@@t1czer Space Marines, the Adeptus Astartes, have various issues that make them almost unfit to even be counted as anything but disposable soldiers. They're all male, unable to reproduce, generally lack human compassion, and were most likely meant to be terminated like the Thunder Warriors. It's a mess of irony that humanity, both in the 41st millennium and from an outsider's perspective, tend to think of them as perfect.

"It was said that a man's life was but a spark in the Darkness. By the time they were noticed, they had vanished, replaced by brighter and more numerous sparks. Uriel could not accept that. There were men and women who stood against the Darkness. Bright spots of light that stood against the inconceivable vastness of the universe. That they would ultimately die was irrelevant. It was that they stood at all that mattered." Uriel Ventris of the Ultramarines, Nightbringer Chapter 9

How sucky would that be? You go through all these trials only to fail because your genetic makeup isn’t up to par for the new organs. You’d think they would check all that before spending so much resources on the initial trials
If you make it that far you can become a chapter serf and serve on any number of support roles from crewing their ships, handling logistics, armourers, or... Sweeping floors...

Let me turn this into a 3 second video, 99.999% of us would be servitors at best.
I like to see it as a 2% chance you’ll make it through out of 10 kids in the recruitment 1 survives there is stories of non of them surviving lol it just depends on the person and the strength they carry from the start and the luck you are given and if you’re a named character 🤣
A lot of failed recruits end up becoming chapter serfs. Or servitors, if the chapter is dicks. Being a Chapter Serf is honestly not that bad, tbh, compared to some of the jobs out there.
5:55 then how did Erebus get in?

There's not a snowballs chance in hell that I would survive becoming a space marine.
I pretty sure if they really wanted to, and perfect the designs and tech, it would have a 90% augment rate compared to its initial practice.

Space Marines are basically the organic version of enterprise software that has been in service for 30 years.
I understand that they need to narrow it down to only the absolute best candidates to be a space marine, but why would they do it in a way that kills off so many highly capable soldiers?
i don't think we the current human even survives on these 1:44 places
Yeah, I'd make it.
Making them witness their own heart surgery is diabolical.
To be a Space Marine sounds grueling and terrible, with hardships and toil around every corner... except when you compare it to being a Guardsman. They experience the same horrors with little in the way of being able to defend themselves other than superior numbers.
Maybe someone can clear up how likely is a person to survive a single one of these surgeries without anesthesia, cause it doesn't sound likely.
All I can say good luck 🤞boys I just like the pictures

Life as a servitor seems peaceful.
I see you like been lobotomized
Short answer. No.
Long answer. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Knowing myself if I not being a Astarte's I probably would be chosen by ecclesia, or Inquisition, or chaos, lol;
The Inquisition is pretty selective with who they make inquisitors. Recruitment varies from Inquisitor to Inquisitor, but an inquisitor has to be a highly talented and inquisitive person with incredible integrity. You can't just give unchecked power to just any jackass aristocrat. Unless you're talking about being an Inquisitorial agent/acolyte, not an actual Inquisitor.
@dominicmarazita8103 I was talking on faction level, which one I would would being chosen in a "what if" universe. I tend to be extreme exactly as inquisition is the extreme faith based faction. On the other edge would be chaos the extreme. I wasn't talk about my real personal talents on real life, but yeah, I have a couple and I'm proud of it. Lol. Besides, I got what you mean.

Anyone know what the name of/where i can find the comic where the space marine smashes that farseer's face in at 10:45? I've been looking for it for a while now but havent found anything yet.
It's one of the Dawn of War comics by Titan comics.
Well at least not Blood Angel. It is probably more easy to win the hunger games than becoming a blood angel.
Imma be honest I think hunger games is easier than just a space marine
The Grey Knights have the most intense selection process, not to mention you have to be a psyker even to join.
@@dominicmarazita8103 Their whole life is a continous hell, so basically they will get used to it from the beginning :D
Adeptus Assfartdeez
Have any marines considered just training members from birth using cloning and selective breeding. You know instead using the recruiting equilivent of hunting and gather?
Also why are they assuming an eagerness to kill is desirable trait in a soldier? A battle might be won by the side that is more blood thirsty, but wars are usually won by those that are better at planning and organizing.
Cloning or replicae as they call it in 40k is a largely poorly understood and lost science. Tech in 40k is in a state where a lot of tech is lost and most of the highest tech equipment in the Imperium is incapable of being replaced. All the advanced technological knowledge and manufacturing is monopolized by a Tech Cult called the Adeptus Mechanicus who actively crack down on the development of new technology. It's a long story.
The eagerness to kill thing depends on the Chapter. Many chapters, most notably the Ultramarines place heavy emphasis on logistics. Though many chapters like the Space Wolves or the Flesh Tearers act like berserker barbarians. Astartes are highly traditional and ritualistic, and in many cases have very backwards tactics considering the tech they have. Also many threats the Astartes fight can take advantage of psychological hesitation, to disastrous results. Chaos Daemons and psykers in particular.
I cannot be overstated how fucked and backwards the Imperium is. It's honestly its own worst enemy to a ludicrous extent. Don't expect them to act logically or efficiently, since they never will.
Thanks for answering back.
Between your answer and a little googling, I have got the distinct impression that the Space Marines were never meant to be independent or ruling institutions. The process of becoming a Space Marine makes you sterile and primarily entertained only by conquest. To me that screams that they were designed to implode or be greatly diminished if they ever left a larger organization. And that fits the setting to a T.
Back under the God Emperor days there was probably a completely separate and lost institution that handled their recruitment and childhood education. What would be very darkly humorous is that the space marines probably destroyed them all because they were embarrassed by the fact they needed the equivalent of a guild of kindergarten teachers to function properly. :-) They have been bumbling around ever since just basing recruitment on what ever deranged brain farts came to them instead a scientifically rigorous process.
@@tcironbear21 What you are describing in the first paragraph matches what the Thunder Warriors were. They were the original genetically engineered warriors before Astartes, and they were stronger than Astartes, but short-lived and violent-tempered. The Emperor wiped them all out with the first space marines once he was done with them. This is generally regarded as a Dick Move.
I also forgot to mention the Adeptus Custodes, the Gene-enhanced personal guard of the emperor. Unlike Astartes, each Custodes is a unique masterpiece made from the ground up armed with the best equipment, and are the most elite soldiers the Imperium has. However there is only 10000 of them and they mostly stick on Terra protecting the immobile Emperor. I should I have brought them up when you were talking about cloning marines and stuff, but I forgot about them since they aren't Astartes.
Some space marine chapters do have non-martial pursuits. The Blood Angels practice the arts, for example, and the Ultramarines are also effectively administrators of their own substate within the Imperium called Ultramar. It's debatable whether or not the Emperor intended to wipe out the Astartes like the Thunder Warriors, since we just don't know. However, one of the reason may Astartes went traitor in the heresy was due to the fact that as the Great Crusade started winding down, the governance of the Imperium started shifting to baseline human civil administrators, which many astartes and their primarchs highly disliked, and wondered what would happen to the Legions in a galazy that no longer needed them. Some, like the Night Lords straight up knew they'd eventually get wiped out due to how much of a necessary evil they were, and fully accepted it. But this whole thing about what the Emperor planned to do with the Legiones Astartes is its own can of worms.
Actually, during the Great Crusade and the Horus Heresy, the recruitment standards and training for astartes were much much more lax, due to the constant need for new troops. Back then, the Astartes were the main military force of the Imperium. The reason why recruitment standards are so fucking strict now is due to the fact that half the legions went traitor. The loyalist legions (except for the Space Wolves) were all divided into smaller 1000-man chapters and the reformed Imperial Guard and Navy became the main military force of the Imperium. The Astartes are now mostly elite shock troops, who do deep-strikes into key areas of the enemy, and are mostly autonomous from the regular military hierarchy, mostly just doing what they want, unless the High Lords of Terra or the Inquisition starts to boss them around, which they never like unless they are the Minotaurs or Deathwatch/Grey Knights.
Space marines are heavily psycho-indoctrinated and education is part of their training in most cases. IIRC they love using hypno-training to teach them stuff like that. They probably are better educated than your average Imperial. They way you think Space Marines are lines up with their original portrayal in the 1st edition of 40k, where they were just a bunch of roided-out thugs.
@@dominicmarazita8103 You don't install self-destruct buttons because you plan on destroying something. You do it because you are afraid of loosing control over it.
The Emperor might have made the Space Marines dependent on other institutions so if they rebelled or were corrupted, he could beat them in a war of attrition.
Wonder how Leandros became a space marine...
Considering I'm a full grown adult.....no, Im too old. Apparently Thunder Warrior is possible but you basically go insane with rage if your crappy genetic engineering doesn't kill you first
In the Great Crusade it was possible to make an adult into a pseudo-Astartes, but it was even more dangerous. It was used on Luthor and Kor Phaeron, both of whom and still alove in present day, albeit traitors. Probably lost tech now, though.
Made by Emperor with his free time.
Imagine he's upgrading shts for the past 10k years.
I could handle being a space marine….- until they scan my brain, see I’m narcoleptic and through my pale ass out the trash chute.

Not a chance. Not one person on earth could. Most anyone could hope to be would be an Inquisitor, these would be the SAS and KGB organisations, 99% of army would be Cadian type soldiers. Most of us would be necromunda type thugs or just under hive scum. The unlucky ones would be servitors. . If you read Dante (one of the best books I personally think) the recruitment process is nuts and it’s not even the hardest. Earth just doesn’t have harsh enough environments for us to learn the survival skills needed.
The Inquisition is debatably more intensive in their recruitment than the Astartes are. Though this might depend on the Inquisitor(s) training and selecting new Inquisitors. Inquisitors have to be highly talented inviduals with inquisitive personalities and essentially unbreakable integrity. They also need to be callous individuals who refuse to see issues in the 'little picture', rather focusing on issues that can affect the Imperium as a whole, or at least on the scale of a Sector. They can't just give theoretically unchecked power and resources to some jackass aristocrat because he really hates heretics. The big difference with astartes is that the Inquisition aren't particularly going for physical strength and endurance, but rather innate talent, intelligence, personal character, and strength of will (Which the astartes do test, to be fair). There's definitely less Inquisitors in the Imperium than Astartes, I think. Though a single Inquisitor is comparable with a Chapter Master in terms of power, rather than a standard Astartes.
@ ok I get your point.. maybe so , I have read eisenhorn and ravenor etc,, I will grant you that they have some powerful psychics etc.. so I have to agree,, but there are a few who work for the organisation who are run of the mill desk workers.. all I know is I would hate any of it lol.. I just know I would be hive scum lol..
@@KyleSilk-v1p Yeah there are some Inquisitors who spend their whole life on one investigation, or are responsible for storing and analyzing information and maintaining the Inquisitorial Black Sites. Some even make it their whole career to train other inquisitors, etc. As I said, it depends on the Inquisitor and the Ordo he's part of. Also don't forget that each inquisitor typically has up to thousands of operatives under him acting as an information network or doing his dirty work.
