Something I noticed (Warning: Nerdy as fuck and a bit long)
15 years ago
General
Does anyone even read Journals anymore?
I know I'm nerding the fuck outta myself with this, but just compare the creation process of a Spartan from Halo: http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/SPARTAN-.....ion_Procedures
...to the process of creating a Space Marine from Warhammer 40k: http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Cre.....a_Space_Marine
Its stunning how a Spartan is basically the crappier version of a space marine. Both get organs and implants to help the growing of bones and muscles and ossificate the bones with ceramic compounds. Also both get remodifications and augmentations to their neural systems to enhance their reflexes and make them more stable and to their eyes to make them see better.
But, thats where the similarities end. Look at what a space marines gets. He gets a second heart and an organ that helps creating more red blood cells so that you have a better circulation and oxygen supply and can operate properly even in areas with less oxygen. They get something like a dermal armor that also helps them interact with technology better and helps improve your nervous system. Organs that give you the ability to eat the most poisonous food and gain knowledge from absorbing genetic memory from flesh. A set of lungs that makes you breath poisoned air and even underwater. Ears that give you better hearing and ability to filter out sound. And a gland that makes it able for you to spit poison that can even corrode metal over long time! And thats not all!
So, without their armor the Space Marines could easily kick a Spartans ass in every kinda way and competition. But what about the armor?
I admit that the armor of the Spartans is more based on speed and agility. Not that a Space Marine is slow, but not as fast and agile as a Spartan. And also they can't jump as high. And of course there is the energy shield which is able to regenerate.
But still, a Space Marine could kick a Spartans ass even in armor, no matter if they use weapons or not. a Space Marine armor is extremly heavy and thick, made from adamantium (not the Marvel universe one, though still hard as fuck) and strenghtens the wearers physical power just as much as a Spartans armor does, maybe even more. So while the Space Marine would have trouble hitting the Spartan in melee combat, on a long run the Spartan would have problems putting any real damage to the Space Marine, while the Marine would put damage to the Spartan. Sure, both would regenerate from it given enough time, but I think the Space Marine would over a long run fare way better.
Now we come to the weapons. The Spartan has a two kinds of assault rifles, grenades, shotguns, rocket launchers, a big ass laser as well as the possibility to just steal weapons from the Convenant, which are too many to be described here. Also a big fucking hammer that creates shockwaves.
The Space Marine can use Bolters, Heavy Bolters and Boltguns, basically SMGs, MGs and pistols firing gyrorocket-propelled armor piercing grenades of varying versions, flamethrowers, plasmaguns and larger versions of them, Rocket Launchers, Big ass Laser guns, Chainswords (basically chainsaw swords) and energy swords or hammers, as well as all kinds of hand grenades, from normal HE and frag grenades to grenades that unleash Radiation, stop time or suck you into the warp, the Warhammer 40k's equivalent of Hell.
Well, for the most part I have to say the Space Marines will win. Every weapon the Spartan has to offer either has a bigger, meaner equivalent in the Space Marines Armory, and considering the weapons the Spartan uses and the Armor the Space Marines has, the Spartan would have a hard time putting damage to the Marine.
So yeah, final evaluation? The Spartans of the Haloverse may be bad ass and strong, but they don't stand a chance against Space Marines from Warhammer 40k.
Mhhh, I just realized...I did something of a Deadliest Warrior equivalent here. Only with non existant Fantasy Warriors.
Incidently, Noah Antwiler aka Spoonyone wants to do the same with other fantasy warriors or creatures or groups. So...if you read this Spoony (chances are near zero) then please, if you ever consider doing an episode about this...ask me. I can help you doing that episode. :D

But, you have to see that Warhammer 40k plays in 38000 years. I'm sure with all the advances in genetics and stuff, you could pull off most of the operations the space marines do.
