The funniest thing is that per the lore, any Space Marine not wearing a helmet while in direct sunlight would be black, and then pasty white when they went inside, and sort of tan on a cloudy day, etc, with the only exceptions being the chapters where their photochromatic skin mutation is broken and set to one extreme or the other. Like Space Marines aren't people in power armor, they're basically Super Mutants from Fallout: they have redundant organs, they spit acid, they eat brains to steal their enemy's knowledge, they change color when exposed to light, and they have completely alien minds reworked to have perfect memory and improved ballistic calculation ability.
Also there's fewer than 1 million of them in a galaxy of some 20 quadrillion people, and they each have about the combat effectiveness of a single light IFV. They are outnumbered a hundred million to one by normal human soldiers, a million to one by main battletanks, ten thousand to one by super-heavy tanks, a hundred to one by Titans, and still outnumbered by space craft that can level continents with sustained bombardment. That is to say, they're completely irrelevant in every material way. Saying this is the easiest way to make 40k chuds frothing mad :frothingfash:
