Where do the Space Marines carry their ammo?

>>50411004
Hammerspace

>>50411004
Bakcpack, pouches, armorium servitors and servoskulls, rhinos and drop pods.

Honestly, it has always bothered me. But, hey, rule of cool.

>>50411004
Under their shoulder plate armor?

>>50411004
In their hearts for therer is no greater ammunition than faith and zeal.

Sometimes they are described as having a small pouch on a belt. I always thought this a bit lame. In my head I imagine extra ammo being in their ammo and dispensing when needed.

>>50411336
Extra ammo in their armor ****

>>50411004
They just aim really well.

>>50411004
In their guns.
For real, though. DW Bolters have like 3 mags in them. Normal ones just have pouches n shit.

Space marines only carry a single magazine.

From the size of the ejection port, their magazines look to be able to carry about 12-15 rounds.

Which is perfect for a 6 turn game, where it is unlikely they will fire that many times.

Honestly this makes the most sense to me. Even in universe. They don't bother with extra rounds. At all. They're to engage in any sort of prolonged sustained fire fights. Just charge up your enemy, you somehow miss at that range you can just club them.

Can this thread just be about Space Marine Pirates now?

Bowing to neither the Imperium or Chaos, these free supermen sail the seas of space with their only loyalty being to each other and ADVENTURE!

Could you image a Space Marine Rogue Trader?

Sadly Spess Marines generally leave behind familial ties, excepting a few... exceptions

and Chaos hones in on any space marine not protected by the Emperor and makes it their personal mission to fuck their shit, by canon

A SM Pirate Captain is pretty possible, if he's enlightened enough to protect himself from Chaos. A whole crew would attract way too much attention.

Pic related, but it's fanon.

>Inventory
>A Space Marine usually enters combat with one mag loaded into his weapon, and 8 (eight) more mags in stores. Each mag holds around 20 bolts (180 bolts total).
Cooperative

>The mags are placed in the counter-intuitive position due to the highly cooperative way Space Marine fight as a unit, and they operate is known in modern lingo as a 'buddy system' for ammo storage.

>In the buddy system, Space Marine take mags from the brother in front of them. So while a Marine is fighting up front another is loading up behind and in cover.
Tracking

>The Covenet keeps track of inventory and alerts all brothers as to who has mags, and how many, and will direct a Marine where to resupply to even out stores. The combined Covenets are even smart enough to take operations into account and optimise the system to ensure that all the Space Marines have access to the mags when need (even noting Space Marine performance and predicting ammo usage in relation to blips).

>As with all Covenet systems there is no HUD, the Space Marine 'just knows', as if it was a memory recalled.

I actually like the simple leather pouches the miniatures show. Sometimes you don't want a super science-fictional response for a simple need. To me it adds to the general high-low tech feeling of the Imperium.

Well, I did imagine a (renegade?) fleet-based chapter once. Just as there greek and roman marines, this one would be carthaginian.

>Punic Marines
>Chapter Master Hannoba'al Melqart, which maintains the rogue trader charter of his family.
>Heavy use of human and xeno mercenaries
>Base is the space station Kart-Hadast, inside a hollow, arrow-shaped comet.
>an outer commercial zone which works as a free-for-all port
>an inner sanctum houses the chapter's fleet around their monastery. This part would look like the trade federation command ship from Stars Wars 1.
>Ties with lots and lots of rogue traders
>Perhaps they are corsairs, perhaps they are pirates. Depends on the company.
>1st company is called the Sacred Band, a full terminator boarder team welding the power falcatas relics and soliferrum-pattern breacher missile pods of the chapter.
>Armored cruisers focus on ramming and boarding.
>Instead of launch bays, their side has dozens of ejectable armored slabs.
>Each of those "Caetra Pods" is an self-sufficient hab block whose spacer feral clan exists for the moment of the boarding. When it hits the target and the mag-clamps activate, they exit and attack weak points in the hull, attaching meltas and using las-cutters to breach.
>Some time later, the marines themselves go, as well as their mercenary troops.
>Shield pod survivors are promoted to actual crew, and their children become candidates to the chapter.
>The prisioners refill the pods' losses.

I like this, it'd also explain why veterans and special units usually have pouches and shit attached to their armour, so they can reach for their own ammo instead of having to rely on a friend when they're being OPR8TOR

Muskets were indeed a thing back in the old 1st Edition ("Rogue Trader") days.

For use by various primitves and savages.

>>50421700
Salamanders keep families in their homeworld, and IIRC Ultramarines are in touch with people of their original family line (Shira Calpurnia had a great grand uncle serving in the Second Company of the Ultras)

>>50422391
Even in like... 3rd edition(?) such as of bows and crossbows were listed in the wargear book, and crossbow pistols.
Maybe even blunderbusses but I can't remember for sure.

>>50422391
They were still a thing in Dark Heresy, going from high-quality flintlocks for low-tech nobles to shitty pipes with gunpowder inside for underhive gangers.

>>50422444
>>50422452
I've considered taking out my old Brettonian army and make them a small Imperial Guard-force from some primitive world.

They'd probably not last long but it would be a cool project.

A few modifications and conversions would be needed, but still.

Say, com-sets and las-pistol side arms for knights.

Stuff like that.

>>50422499
I remember way back when that they had a Bretonnian parts conversion for IG in the GW site. The troops looked like Bloodborne-esque dark fantasy types, with lasguns.

>>50422499
You could have them be the defense force of a low-tech Imperial world fighting invaders?

Had an idea for myself to make a IG regiment based off a world that is closer to our modern day society but obviously with an Imperial-bent, along the likes of they were a lost world for a time that was later folded into the IoM.
Would use auto-weapons instead of las guns since I heard some regiments actually do that, and focus on special and heavy weapons we have close equivalents to in real life such as bazookas/heavy stubbers/autocannons etc and maybe a few flamers here and there.
Also their snipers would use anti-material style rifles instead of the longlas.

>>50422391
It's not unheard of for siege regiments (the ones that make the fucking Death Korps of Krieg look like high speed low drag operators that only engage in short, decisive actions) to be armed with single-shot rifles and muskets.

>>50421700

It seems to be what-if Guardsmen had their own design of power armor like Sisters of Battle, but with an extra helping of tacticool since they aren't all foaming religious pyrophiliacs.

>>50424692

Well I'm guessing it can convert from power armour to robot as the need demands.

Really old lore had proper Imperial robots or the Legio Cybernetic, you, the player couldn't give them any direct commands. You have to actually write a programming stript for them to follow in game.

Sparklock-type mechanism (imagine a flintlock but using a battery and something like a kitchen spark plug instead of, well, flint) are probably reinvented over and over in underhives by the poor suckers that can't manage to get even a shitty stub gun.
