Rare, difficult and unlikely..Even moreso for an Ultramarine.

But NOT impossible.

You got better candidates for love stories then Space Marines, but it is possible.
I'd say that it would usually require an atypical marine and unusual circumstances.

Find me a quote where it sez that. I dare you.

In all the time I spent on the Liber Astertes and Amicus Ades, in all the discussion about marines and sex, I have yet to come upon a single quote that confirmes that they are sterile.

No. I want to be a Space Marine or a Guardsmen.

Wouldn't that be a bit boring as an RPG?

I think shooters are a better type of game for representing them.

When I talk about sterile, I talk about the fact that a space marine can't reproduce. They can't have children. That in combination with their low (near absent) sex-drive, makes the concept of a space marine falling in love very very very VERY unlikely. And even if a space marine would fall in love, he wouldn't have the urge to have sex. And if he does have that urge, he won't be able to reproduce.

The space marine's gene-seeds are the only way of reproduction for a space marine. When a space marine dies, they harvest their gene-seeds so they can produce new space marines. However, any space marine that is created from your gene-seeds, will not be your son, but the son of your Primarch. Thus, space marines can never have children.


Here are several quotes on this subject:

"Thus, for most Astartes, their Progenoid Glands represent the only form of reproduction they will ever know, though the DNA passed on will be that of their Primarch, not their own."

"Just like normal human germ cells, exposure to high concentrations of ionizing radiation can effectively render a Space Marine "sterile" by destroying the germ cells within his Progenoids."

You do relaise that the quotes dont' support your theory, but mine... :? ... right?

A space marine cannot have sex and create a new space marine (since the DNA passed would be more or less their own, not the gene-seed that makes a SM a SM). Space Marines are made, not born - teh changes are made to normal humans to tun them into demi-gods of death.
Also note that the quote sez MOST ASTARTES...so obviously some get to know other forms of reproduction.

Also, progenoid cells being destroyed by excessive radioation means dead chapter. And it obviously doesn't happen often, given the marines own resillience to radioation and power armor and stuff.

Space mariens aren't THAT large (and it's questionable if their member is also enlarged in the process. For all we know, they might have tiny peckers)

And I never heard about a LOT of things that are sure to happen/are presumed to happen.

Absence of evidence is NOT evidence of absence.
