The salamanders would be so happy that their friends the guardsmen die less

That true

Why the need for mass production though? Send in a chapter or two and it'll wipe out every mutant in a few days or weeks.

@@dudi0_0 Because space marines are valuable, more valuable than you are Guardsman!

Imagine trillions of guardsmen in fallout 4 power armor that could give them the ability to use the bolter gun

The Sisters of Battle aren't super soldiers and they use power armor that operate on the same system of servo motors and fiber optic bundles. It doesn't take a Space Marine to use their power armor . But normal humans don't get the benefits of being neutrally linked to the power armor. It's not like Halos MJOLNIR power armor that can and will rip a normal human apart if they try to use it. Space Marine Armor can be calibrated to the user. Granted a normal human would be shot for trying to use it. Because just like with an Astartes Bolter that is the property of the chapter and of the Emperor and you mortal are not allowed to use it.

I mean, you wouldn't really need mass production if you have a thousand or more one man killing machines.

Astartes armor isnt supposed to be mass produced though. Every chapter has 1000 hand picked marines, no more no less. When marines are killed, their armor weapons and gene seed are recovered. Anything still operable will be reused by another marine. Some weapons and pieces of armor are ancient relics that have been in service for hundreds if not thousands of years

@@einarr7301 The armor is often damaged some are so badly damage that the armor has to be replaced. The standard armor is the Mk VII Aquila armor. Which is made from Plasteel and Ceramite. They lost the knowledge of how to produce Adamantium. Which older and much rarer armors were made with. Also those weapons and armor relics are held in reserve and never given out to common Astartes. The Astartes have a ranking system just like the military in the real world. And technology is withheld by rank. So those relics are not found on the battlefield in 99.9% of battles. So given the things that kill Astartes most of their suits technology and armor is damaged beyond repair. They might find a working shoulder piece and some leg armor . All the vital parts are in the chest and helmet . So those are going to be severely damage pieces. Also Gene Seed material formed in the two gene seeds that are removed are removed after a set number of years rather the Astartes is alive or not. Five standard years after implantation, the Progenoid Gland in the neck contains mature gene-seed and may be removed and its germ cells harvested, while the larger chest Progenoid is not considered ready for harvesting until 10 standard years have passed. So the first 10 years they have to play it safe and not get themselves killed. After that well we see 150 years old Captain Titus charging Orkz and Demons .. so gloves come off and they start getting into the real fighting. Also note an Astartes usually remains in a Scout Squad for a minimum of 10 years. So they aren't even sent into direct combat until after the gene seeds that must be removed are removed.

There have been worlds that had power armor similar to fallouts during the great crusade and they still got wiped by a few squads of astartes

@@Swillery Dude don't talk to me when you don't f****** know Fallout lore okay t51 is never said anyway to increase strength by a factor of 1.5. it is never even insinuated by the gameplay. Edit: Lmfao he deleted his comment

Well, most of the time the guard is actually fighting enemies in wich the lazguns are actually effective, but that doesnt mean the enemies that are resistant to them are few because is a big empire always at war. And they are no like the tau that can adapt weaponry and tactics on demand the imperium is far too lost in its logicstic nightmare as to develop more of certain waepons on a region of the galaxy than other, so they just stick with the option that in mas generaly works.

Og starship troopers armour completely dwarfs almost all 40k human power armor with a few exceptions Mobility is insane Weaponry is amazing And all of them have tactical shoulder mounted nukes for fun

Or an Ork of the same size!

He assumes that the sm power armor is equivalent to about 5-15 inches of rhs (rolled homogeneous steel) at its thickest points. Also, it does usually take several bolts to take out a space marine. Specialty bolts were made during the horus heresy to counteract that.

Bolt rounds are also rocket-propelled SAPHE rounds, not just ballistic lumps of lead. And it still takes a few solid shots to do that

@@SeanCrosser well, yeah, but their explosive is tiny. You would be just as well comparing it to most small caliber incendiary rounds. Also have to mention just how ludicrous poorly designed the armor penetrating aspects of the bolt are. Hardened tip will shatter immediately on contact and reduce projectile energy, getting in the way of the penetrator. A penetrator whose shape is fairly wide, and not very long. The standard bolt is not far off from a boxing glove arrow when it comes to armor pen

I think alot of people out there forget that the bolter was designed to kill the Emperor's enemies, which during the great crusade were mostly less advanced/armored humans, orks, and a bunch of squishy Xenos... which the Bolter is honestly perfect for! It was never intended to be turned upon other Space Marines.

​@@SeanCrosser most autocannons use either APFSDS rounds or Depleted Uranium rounds so not a lump of lead. If you see ammo for an autocannon and the tip is blue it's likely Depleted Uranium.

Customizable yes, mass produced no. There are suits of power armor cobbled together from the remains of other suits, and, the surface is simple enough you can attach jump packs, ammo packs, and/or arm-mount weapons without invasive work.

In all fairness, even just stopping the round is still a LOT better than Fallout's power armor, which only completely stops intermediate rounds. .308 can potentially punch through, and .50 is making mincemeat of a T-51. That is child's play to Space Marine armor.

Fallout laser and plasma is not more potent than warhammer las or plasma. Lasguns will instantly kill somebody not wearing flak armor and even then will probably kill them even if they are wearing it. Lasguns point blank will shoot through a person's soft flesh and still kill a person behind them. Fallout lasers can't penetrate like that.

​​​@@maxgb2000realLazguns can't immediately kill Catachan's or Ogryns, who probably have durability equal to mutants The HO-1B power armor can survive mininukes, outshining the SOB armor completely outside of agility Fallout Lazers tear arms off, killing other people behind them as well. And in the minutemen's case, literally turn you to ash

@@maxgb2000real Yes they can. Fallout lasers were straight up turn people into ash and mowing down multiple people in single shots when Protectrons with lasers were turned on protesting factory workers

Against an unnamed space marine(given they aren't a lybrain) he does probably have pretty decent shot of winning.

Lol

The so-called Fallout 4 power armor, which allows for easy swapping of arms and legs, is merely a product of Bethesda's push for their gear-driven entry system and laziness, directly applying the armor mechanism. They lack any actual, explainable settings, and some explanations on the wiki are also the result of the player community attempting to justify Bethesda's design choices.Or it's to comfort oneself that the settings one cares about are still recorded in Bethesda's non-existent design documents.

You say that as if Space Marines don't have weapons that can easily deal with power armor. Bolters would go straight through it and pop inside the armor.

Aside from cost and needing to go through a augmentation over the course of 8 years with a 99% casualty rate to get it (the process is also incredibly costly). And Fallout power sources canonically last for far longer.

​@@MarcusVance I'd argue that the augmentations and training are well worth the cost both for the effectiveness of the final product and the hundreds of years of service that the space marine provides(though this may be beyond the scope of the armor alone).
