[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Kalriq On top of that, reading the Horus Heresy books you'll see just how easily some Space Marines can die, if they have Terminator armour, of course they'll win, but in their regular Power Armour a well placed Ballistic can tear one apart.[/quote] ... Holy crap. Can you provide actual evidence, for ONCE? The Spartan dies to 7.62x51mm NATO rounds. Such rounds would not be a problem to a Space Marine unarmored. A bolter, however, would defeat the energy shields, with one shot, and then the Spartan with another. [quote] I think they would be even, up until the Space Marine's armour failed - remember, while a Spartan's shields can regenerate, you can only blow so many chunks out of ceramite armour, before there are some gaping holes in it.[/quote] Except a Spartan's MA5 weapons can't even harm a Space Marine.
