One Astartes wipes blue team.

One unnamed astartes is getting rolled by one unnamed spartan. The only thing an astartes has is vicious brutality & durability. They lack subtlety and cunning in amounts to overcome a spartan's precision, speed, tactics, & technology. A better match up would be the assassinorium

Where are you getting that Spartans are faster, have better tactics and better precision?

@GahlainRigh .001 -.005 second reaction time without an onboard AI and this is mk4. With an AI reaction becomes instant only slowed down by physical limitations at this point. Astartes have shown little to no ability to commandeer enemy vehicles, worse improvisation, generally worse tactics

@For_Macragge @GahlainRigh Grok may be able to settle this... @grok Line up an Adeptus Astartes Space Marine vs a Halo Spartan in a Deadliest Warrior match up and decide who would kill who in a head to head match up.

Space Marine wins the matchup. Gene-seed enhancements grant superior durability, organ redundancy, and strength over Spartan augmentations. Ceramite power armor and bolter mass-reactive rounds outclass MJOLNIR shields plus standard UNSC ballistics in sustained fire. Centuries of combat experience versus decades tips close-quarters and tactics. Spartan speed and energy shields keep it competitive briefly, but the Astartes finishes the fight.

?

The Astra militarum can take down the Spartans too.

@DDofWarhammer A grot with a stick bomb could take out a spartan

@For_Macragge A grot with a bomb could take out a space marine

@For_Macragge Nah, they'd tank it

@For_Macragge

@Jericho17205019 @For_Macragge He survived that

@Jericho17205019 @For_Macragge No?

Blue team probably lays out a lone astartes virtually every time without much trouble

I didn’t say which Astartes

@BansTheBBQ Any of these get 1 shot by a sniper if they dont put their helmets on lol

@BansTheBBQ What is a refractor field?

@LeMis_Rex @BansTheBBQ none officers don't have those. generally only chaplains do

@LeMis_Rex @BansTheBBQ Chaplains have a refractor field that’s true, but that doesn’t mean other officers don’t. Where do you think the 4+ invuln comes from?

Astartes después de enfrentar al Equipo Azul

40k beats most universes and it makes a lot of people seeth. Doesn't make it any less true.

If it's THESE Blues, they wipe out the whole chapter through their antics

i think a reason why powerscaling astartes with spartans is stupid is that the basic requirement for powerscaling, that being that one should be able to feasibly defeat the other at first glance, is already unfulfilled bolters can hurt spartans spartan rifles cant hurt marines

Asrartes are often good admiral and governor. Meanwhile no Sparta are entrusted with any fleet let alone entire planet. So that settles the "intelligent" argument

Meanwhile Spartans can get splattered by an ATV

Mephiston would turn them into pulp

Surprisingly, Grok is really good at working through this hypothetical with all available discussion and information online.

John solos due to landing a lucky shot on the marines neck with his trusty magnum.

this is not disrespect towards halo. these are 2 different universes with different humanities. in halo is the 25th century. of course spartans won't keep up with space marines. still they are great warriors

Blue Team (John, Kelly, Linda, Fred) vs 1 regular Intercessor? Blue Team is taking it. Blue Team vs 1 Veteran Astartes with a Power Sword? Toss up. Blue Team vs 1 Veteran Astartes in Terminator Armor? Pray for Blue Team.

Oh also Space Marines outnumber Spartans 💀 If all Spartans ever made lived at the same time, its only a few thousand. The Marines number in the TENS OF THOUSANDS

Now I’m actually wondering if Mister Chef has anything in his conventional arsenal aside from the long rifle that would penetrate ceramite reliably, if it even would. We’ve seen marines shrug off a lot. Funny enough, I think Spartans weigh more than marines in standard kit.

As a fan of both franchises (admittedly with a lean on halo) i think most space marines body an average spartan BUT a handful of specific Spartans could easily body multiple space marines

These Spartan supremacist need to read the fundamentals of an Astartes. So that they can know how much they can obliterate a whole squad of Spartan

Uh-huh. Because Astartes are so impossible to kill, right?

People don't understand alternate power scaling and immediately choose bias over admitting that their universe just works at a lower power scale. Face to face, yeah the Astartes wins. But most people don't know about things like acid spit or brain eating, so it happens.

Frankly, a squad of Elite Zealots, with their plasma weapons and cloaking tech, probably has a better chance against Astartes than the average SPARTAN.

Even with equal stats space marines have the experience edge, even Neofights need years to even be considered ready to enter the ranks

Chief is literally the most named character who ever got named 😅

As a fan of both universes: Blue Team takes down Scout Space Marines all day every day. Against a normal Space Marine there's a 50-75% chance take casualties (highly dependent on the chapter). If it's a Captain/named character: Blue Team, even with John 117, 90% they're dead men

HALO takes place in the year 2552. Warhammer 40k takes place in the year 40,000. That is over 37,448 years of technological development - BEFORE the Age of Strife AND the Horus Heresy - backing up the Astartes' gear AND genetic modifications. It's totally one-sided.

In general, an Astartes, especially a Primaris, has the edge over a Spartan, but that does not mean that I would disregard Spartans at all. Under the right conditions, they can absolutely kill a Marine. Granted, it is not going to be easy and they really need to prepare, but it absolutely is possible.

Spicy rebar can kill them. You are just fucking wrong.

One spartan is putting belt to ass on anyone bar a space wizard. They're stronger and just as fast.

Damn that's crazy so how is the imperium of man going to survive the Forerunners or even the firing of their Halo array? Especially considering the imperium the man has already lost to chaos and is basically worshiping a corpse on the throne that occasionally has death twitches.

realistically Spartan II's and Astartes are pretty close, though they both fight in vastly different ways. In lore the Spartan's are commandos they hide, they run they strike again meanwhile the space marine is a tank mixed with a blender that will typically go the most-

Realistically we all know the obvious answer, whoever wins depends entirely on whoever writes the battle. 😆 Both Space Mareehns and Spartans die every two seconds without plot armor, or destroy entire armies solo with plot armor.

I think it’s an interesting match-up, but idk, Spartan 2’s are kind of busted and would put up a lot more fight than some chaos cultists (who could already kill Astartes with autoguns and lasguns) I think in a 1v1 scenario a standard Spartan 2 and a standard Primaris Ultramarine, the chances are pretty balanced, but the Spartan 2’s cannot be slept on. Everything iteration of the Spartans after Spartan 2 get folded by Primaris Marines tho

No, in fairness there has been cases where base humans have beaten astartes in both combat and strategy, so it’s not strictly impossible, just very unlikely Spartans are very good at being really tricky, and there’s been cases where that has been enough to take on an astartes
