Mostly Space Wolves. After the Months of Shame and the bitter dispute between the Grey Knights and the Space Wolves (because of the Inquisitioin) As part of the making up process, the Space Wolves asked Hyperion, the Grey Knight who shattered Angron's Black Blade, to regale them with tales.
It varies from book to book. In some the astartes can eat almost anything while in others they require artificial super nutritive paste to keep up with their needs.
Mortal: behold my lord, an ancient bolter I found buried, it never runs out of ammo as it fires high caliber laser bursts that can hit a xenos skull target from half a planet cirumferwnce distance, I cannot wielded so it is yours Astartes: let me introduce you to my chapter brothers as they will safeguard your wellbeing, after this campaign you will be on holiday at a pleasure world....for life 😊
I wouldnt ne surprised if there could be really such a Weapon if the dark Age of Technology. Man, every Astartes and Techpriest frome there to Tera and Mars would love you. Probably made give you a Planet.
In the Chris Wraight Short story "Unbroken" A space wolf specifically notes how relieved he was when the Captain and Commissar of the guard he was working with treated him like a fellow soldier and not like a god.
The Crimson Fist are a successor chapter to The Imperial Fist...fawning over them is completely unnecessary and annoys them. The best you can do is just stay out of the way.
This is a generalistic take, because some chapters absolutely would want many of these things. This is more of a reflection of that specific marine's psyche and the culture of his chapter, than that of all marines as a whole.
I can just imagine a scantily clad woman shifting around nervously as armored titans look from her to each other with confusion and in some cases disgust lol
Well, luxury food could be used as emergency rations if the Astartes' supplies are compromised. And the rest, there are certain (originally) purple Astartes that do like the "fine entertainments"...

@@steveneaddy5298though there are some exceptions like Blood Angel's actually eat carefully prepared food before a battle and Space wolves would bolt your ribs if you offer them nutri paste also Salamanders eats Salamanders as a way to honor the creature
Depends on the gift. You got something that can kill things? They will be VERY interested. You just gotta offer them something they have a use for. Not something that YOU would find useful or pretty.
Depends on the chapter, fine wine is welcomed. Especially among Blood Angels. But the rest is excess they largely detest. Emperors Children would have been all in though.
Space Marines, particularly Post-Heresy, have zero social skills, so this isn’t what you think it is. During the Great Crusade, Horus, among others, encouraged his sons to get into the arts, literature, philosophy, science, and so on. I think the Astartes of that era would have appreciated some or all of those offerings. We know the Emperor and many of the Primarchs enjoyed various luxuries and recreational pursuits outside of war and politics.
They are the mail about his fist and the tip of his spear. They are not human, a sacrifice humanity makes to have the ultimate special forces. Most are simple soldiers, they're there to do a job. However moments of sacrifice, honour or camaraderie will make their humanity bubble up. When Kantor carried that mother because she had such a strong sense of duty to her kids
Head Canon: The Emperor is THE autistic, and since he used his gene-seed to make the primarchs they're also autistic thus making every space marine autistic. I'm buying a dark angels starter kit so I can paint it blue.
I feel like the salamanders would either take the gifts and sing their thanks to the people of the world or turn down the gifts and tell the people that they are there to serve the people, not the people serve them.
This is clearly only what this one Space Marine thinks Most chapters would at least take the food to use as extra flavor on their rations if anything. As eating the same thing day in and day out would drive even a gene enhanced superhuman mad. The white scars would happily take the silk. The pre heresy emperor's children would take everything even more now
"Well then, we will gladly accept all your gifts - specially the food, alcohol, narcotics and women. We will get the religious trinkets and expensive silks. We can get good money with them selling to some pompous dumbasses in Terra or Necromunda. Wait? You are not offering all of it to us? Because we are a chapter you were not expecting or rooting for?! Well little mortal, we are taking all of it anyway, FOR THE EMPEROR!" A Marine Malevolent, probably (before shaking down all the denizens of the city)
My favourite humans are the spacers from the Astartes video. The Space Marines are clomping down the passageway of the ship on the way to the pods and the spacers just walk past them, no reverence, no acknowledgement. They work for a living.
Gotta love the big blue buzzkills. Honestly I hate how some astartes just lack so much respect for the gaurd. Not knowing how actually horrible it is to know for a fact that your life has near 0 worth, and yet still jumping to sacrifice yourself. Partly cause they know that their sacrifice will allow the more important people like marines to have an easier time
The thing is that if the captain hadn't offered anything to the Astartes then depending on the chapter that could be considered incredibly rude to the point of throwing a strop and leaving.
I think i remember a Scene in a Book... kt was that a Guards Man offer a Space Wolve a Cigartte(This Lho Stuff) and the Space Wolve take it, smoke it in one breath and was saying that its not bad but to less for him.
I can imagine the scene on where Alvez is seeing those gifs and even the beautiful woman, gives an annoyed groan, he turn to the local leaders, and just say: "Why the Hel I'll gonna need that in battle?"
Offer them ammo, offer them logistics support, offer them flank security, offer them all manner of fire support and other military aid. Favor is earned in battle brother, serve well enough and survive long enough and you may walk away with an inkling of respect.
The whole not needing to eat thing is a little questionable though. First Heretic Argel tal and the other Word Bearers were eating the dead crew, killing one another for food and hydration (blood), and needed to drink to the point they had to go after the fuel supply just to survive. Kinda why I love Space Wolves, they're the most human out of all the chapters... even if part wolf.
Alvez: "Spare us your trite luxuries and meaningless compliments." Other marines: "Dude, shut up. Their food is much better than nutrient paste, speak for yourself."
And not just space marines... Look at Roboute and that ultra-flirty Rogue Trader Yassilli. *Roboute fter being hit on a bit by her...* 'Stop calling me Lord. You may call me Roboute...' *Hot Rogue Trader Yassilli...* 'Ok then....Robu!' 😘🥰 *A stunned Roboute...* 'Ok....now you have overstepped the limit!' Flummoxed eh Robbyboy? 😂
I'm pretty sure that literally can't happen because in 40k the soul is a connection to the warp psykers use that connection for their space magic while blank literally lack a soul and thus a connection to the warp
I'm thinking of a tragic story where a psyker was really into a blank and gradually build up their tolerance to be able to be near them, and were able to get close enough to hang out and they were able to have a kid but the psyker died as a result because their soul was completely drained. But it was a true reciprocated romance, and the kid was able to become a psyker with extremely high resilience and control, but also exuded that weird aura that blanks have despite having a presence in the war. Not to the same level, not repulsed but people felt generally weird, like deja vu or Twilight zone.
As I understand, you might as well be saying "what if a number was positive and negative". They're inherently opposites because of how they function in lore. It's not like vapire & werewolf tropes where they're just different things altogether.
Alvez was that kid in class who didn't understand why people were nice to each other, and resented compliments and offers of friendship. And then they went and gave that kid a Space Marine body and expected him to grow out of that phase. Nah. It got incorporated into his Astartes form, and comes out as disgust and distrust of anyone not-Astartes.
To be fair I can definitely understand that. At worst it can be seen as brown nosing as if to gain favor, while at best it’s a sign of respect and love, though too much can get in the way, such as in the scene later in the novel when they were just trying to get through the streets people were fawning over them, unaware of why they’re here and the danger they’re going to be in.
I feel like the only thing that'd even get the attention of most Space Marines, is if Guardsman charged into battle as fearless as they did, despite not having a tank encasing them.
Makes me wonder how they react when someone does not give a shit and acts casually around them. Not off put by them like normal humans, not all up and praising the ground they walk on. Just acting like their a normal soldier
Do anything else that's even remotely counted as boot licking an astartes or you're the main character. It would be considered treason and dealt with absolute retribution. I reckon the guard are far more better than the astartes at diplomatic problem solving or they wouldn't exist in the current lore anymore against the likes of those engineered to have these larger than life human traits.
White Scars and Space Wolves would probably appreciate good food.
And the women and booze. Space Wolves need some way to keep their recruiting numbers up given how dumb blood claws can be.

"...when the CRIMSON FISTS..." was the key phrase there.
Imagine offering silk to a legion Doom Slayers, lmao.
It's so weird to hear space marines espouse pride when they tend to trample it to begin with.
Astartes will always switch between "Fuck humans theyre weak, and humans are the core of the Imperium" whenever the author feels like it.
Its not when the authors feel like it, its to show you marines aren't all the same. Replace "marines" for "humans" tell me that still makes sense
@@loserinasuit7880It depends heavily on the Chapter, for one thing
“…or women, none of which the Astartes had any use of.” Based.
Gotta love the big blue buzzkills. Honestly I hate how some astartes just lack so much respect for the gaurd. Not knowing how actually horrible it is to know for a fact that your life has near 0 worth, and yet still jumping to sacrifice yourself. Partly cause they know that their sacrifice will allow the more important people like marines to have an easier time
This is the Crimson Fists. They're sons of Dorn. Thus, the Social Skills of a brick.
The thing is that if the captain hadn't offered anything to the Astartes then depending on the chapter that could be considered incredibly rude to the point of throwing a strop and leaving.
Yarrick like "the f outta my way blueberry, I got Xenos to eliminate".
A space wolf wouldn't say no to booze
“Why would the emperor let us keep our phallic thunder hammers if not to use them?” O_o
And thats why i would like being a space marine
YOU WANT TO GIVE ME SOMTHING? START HANDING ME MAGS.
"I just wanted to be polite, sheesh"
I think i remember a Scene in a Book... kt was that a Guards Man offer a Space Wolve a Cigartte(This Lho Stuff) and the Space Wolve take it, smoke it in one breath and was saying that its not bad but to less for him.
Damn they really are annoyed with the gifts when they would actually prefer u just cower in fear of them. They hate that shit.
I can imagine the scene on where Alvez is seeing those gifs and even the beautiful woman, gives an annoyed groan, he turn to the local leaders, and just say:
"Why the Hel I'll gonna need that in battle?"
Offer them ammo, offer them logistics support, offer them flank security, offer them all manner of fire support and other military aid. Favor is earned in battle brother, serve well enough and survive long enough and you may walk away with an inkling of respect.
Technically, that's exactly what the Guard meant. However, Mr. Son of Dorn over here totally missed that.
Especially as sons of Dorn the crimson fists are probably not very into unnecessary worship or expense
The whole not needing to eat thing is a little questionable though. First Heretic Argel tal and the other Word Bearers were eating the dead crew, killing one another for food and hydration (blood), and needed to drink to the point they had to go after the fuel supply just to survive. Kinda why I love Space Wolves, they're the most human out of all the chapters... even if part wolf.
Alvez: "Spare us your trite luxuries and meaningless compliments."
Other marines: "Dude, shut up. Their food is much better than nutrient paste, speak for yourself."
While a veterans guardsman of many battle walks up to them with a smile,
“Hey I know you, I remember you’re just a scout back then, look at you now”
It is always funny how clumsy and out-of-water Space Marines are, when they get approached by flirty women
And not just space marines...
Look at Roboute and that ultra-flirty Rogue Trader Yassilli.
*Roboute fter being hit on a bit by her...*
'Stop calling me Lord. You may call me Roboute...'
*Hot Rogue Trader Yassilli...*
'Ok then....Robu!' 😘🥰
*A stunned Roboute...*
'Ok....now you have overstepped the limit!'
Flummoxed eh Robbyboy? 😂
There's a fun hypothetical what if someone was born a psyker and a blank What do you think what happened
I'm pretty sure that literally can't happen because in 40k the soul is a connection to the warp psykers use that connection for their space magic while blank literally lack a soul and thus a connection to the warp
Sounds like Spear, blank with a demon forced into him...
Can't happen. Psykers have active souls in the Immaterium, blanks have none, while the most negative of blanks have souls akin to black holes.
I'm thinking of a tragic story where a psyker was really into a blank and gradually build up their tolerance to be able to be near them, and were able to get close enough to hang out and they were able to have a kid but the psyker died as a result because their soul was completely drained. But it was a true reciprocated romance, and the kid was able to become a psyker with extremely high resilience and control, but also exuded that weird aura that blanks have despite having a presence in the war. Not to the same level, not repulsed but people felt generally weird, like deja vu or Twilight zone.
As I understand, you might as well be saying "what if a number was positive and negative". They're inherently opposites because of how they function in lore.
It's not like vapire & werewolf tropes where they're just different things altogether.
Even Astartes need to eat and drink.
Black Templars would take those religious trinkets hands down
my lords we offer you our woman space marine : NO
Emperor's children : Thank you very much.
You just cant win with space marines.
You don't offer them courtesy, you get smacked, you offer them courtesy, they get offended lmao
Alvez was that kid in class who didn't understand why people were nice to each other, and resented compliments and offers of friendship. And then they went and gave that kid a Space Marine body and expected him to grow out of that phase. Nah. It got incorporated into his Astartes form, and comes out as disgust and distrust of anyone not-Astartes.
Emperors children marine:"ill take some of those narcotics and women thanks."
"...even women, which the astartes have no use for in the slightest" LOL
depends on chapter , but mostly its true.
It’s okay, they’re just not used to Positive Feedback!
"At my disposal eh, you will soon find out just how, disposable, you are."
Honestly I'd just offer ammunition cause I can't aim for SHIT
you mean "the honored are disposable"
Hey super human with the turbo charged liver you want some drugs?
Based Marines do not appreciate Simping.
(Hear that, Emperor's Children? That one's on you. ^^)
To be fair I can definitely understand that. At worst it can be seen as brown nosing as if to gain favor, while at best it’s a sign of respect and love, though too much can get in the way, such as in the scene later in the novel when they were just trying to get through the streets people were fawning over them, unaware of why they’re here and the danger they’re going to be in.
This is less an astartes reaction, and more because these guys are the most depressed sons of Dorn ever.
The only think an astartes need is you listening to them and you succeeding on your task.
I feel like the only thing that'd even get the attention of most Space Marines, is if Guardsman charged into battle as fearless as they did, despite not having a tank encasing them.
Makes me wonder how they react when someone does not give a shit and acts casually around them. Not off put by them like normal humans, not all up and praising the ground they walk on. Just acting like their a normal soldier
Guardsman: Can i offer you a drink, food, woman?
Ultramarine: Non of those are-
Spacewolf: *slaps Ultramarine mouth shut* Ya say drink?
Do anything else that's even remotely counted as boot licking an astartes or you're the main character. It would be considered treason and dealt with absolute retribution.
I reckon the guard are far more better than the astartes at diplomatic problem solving or they wouldn't exist in the current lore anymore against the likes of those engineered to have these larger than life human traits.
I think in some cases they would eat food. Just some more fuel in the tank.
I love this book really wish the crimson fists got more updates from GW
