User blog:BattleGames1/Deadliest Warrior Battle Interlude - Space Marines vs Forerunner Warrior-Servants Re-Rematch



As a bit of a note, I will finish writing down the sim for Revy vs Niko Bellic in a couple of days but as of now, I want to get this rematch over and done with (I know I said I might do it later but I reckon I can slot it in for now). So without further ado...

Space Marines, the futuristic superhuman defenders of humanity...

vs

Forerunner Warrior-Servants, the warrior caste borne from an ancient galactic god-like race...

'WHO... IS... DEADLIEST?'

=Let's Meet the Combatants=

Space Marines
The Space Marines or Adeptus Astartes are foremost amongst the defenders of humanity, the greatest of the Emperor of Mankind's warriors. They are barely human at all, but superhuman; having been made superior in all respects to a normal man by a harsh regime of genetic modification, psycho-conditioning and rigorous training. Space Marines are untouched by plague or any natural disease and can suffer wounds that would kill a lesser being several times over, and live to fight again. Clad in ancient Power Armour and wielding the most potent weapons known to Man, the Space Marines are terrifying foes and their devotion to the Emperor and the Imperium of Man is unyielding. They are the God-Emperor's Angels of Death, and they know no fear.

Forerunner Warrior-Servants
Warrior-Servants or Warriors were the second-lowest rate in Forerunner society. As their name suggests, they were responsible for defense and warfare in the Forerunner Ecumene. The Warrior-Servants were presumably all subordinate to the Warrior-Servant Corps. They utilized many different war machines, including War Sphinxes. A particular group of Warrior-Servants known as the Prometheans created "Warrior Keeps" known as Cryptums. They were also strong proponents of the Mantle. While Forerunner society was peaceful by nature, Warrior-Servants were ruthless in executing warfare against other races, as they believed that defying the Forerunners was to show contempt for the Mantle. For the purposes of this battle, the Warrior-Servants in this battle will be the Promethean Knights (having done research, I find that most of the weapons I list will be mostly used by them - although they can be used by other members of the Warrior-Servant caste).

=Now Let's Look at the Weapons=

Power Fist
A Power Fist (also known as a Power Glove) is essentially an over-sized, armoured gauntlet that generates an energy field around it that disrupts any solid matter it touches. It is large and slow in combat, and so the bearer must be willing to risk the blows of his enemy before he can strike back. The benefits of the Power Fist are that it increases the user's strength.

Blade Arm
The Promethean Knight's left arm is a melee weapon attached to a Promethean Knight. Promethean Knights can lunge at opponents to slash them with the blade and execute a powerful leap attack with it. This weapon can also throw the Promethean Pulse grenade with great accuracy. The blade is composed of red/orange Hard light.

BG1's Edge
After much consideration, I'm gonna have to go with the Power Fist on this one. Sure it is big and slow but using the Blade Arm on the first try might not land a successful hit and thus it gives the Marine time to charge up and use his Fist. Also, the Fist is just that bit more powerful.

Bolt Pistol
A Bolt Pistol is a smaller version of the Bolter in standard use by the Space Marines. A Bolt Pistol magazine carries only 6 to 10 rounds of standard Bolt rounds, each weighing about 0.08 kilograms and with a diameter of .75 calibre (19.05 millimetres). The pistol is able to fire either a single shot or a short, three-round burst.

Boltshot
The Z-110 Directed Energy Pistol/Exotic, also known as the Boltshot, is a Forerunner particle dilator used for both its precision at mid-range and its burst functionality when up close. It is designed as a close-range precision weapon. It operates by devastating organic matter. The boltshot was first used at the end of the first century of the Foreunner-Flood war. The Boltshot has two firing modes: standard and a charged burst.

BG1's Edge
Even - I'm not so sure what is better: the stopping power and firing rate of the Bolt Pistol or the versatility, range and precision of the Boltshot

Boltgun
Also known as the Bolter, the Boltgun is a powerful assault weapon that fires explosive kinetic rounds colloquially referred to as bolts. The weapon is fearsome, with explosive rounds capable of ripping through or blowing apart a foe. The variant of Bolter weapon used by most current Space Marine Chapters is the Astartes Mark Vb Godwyn Pattern Bolter. This variant has a built-in ammunition counter, carries 30 bolts and can fire in bursts of up to four rounds with a single trigger pull. Other features include a biometric sensor and an integral targeter.

Light Rifle
The Z-250 Directed Energy Engagement Weapon, more commonly known as the Light Rifle, is a Forerunner weapon carried by Promethean Knights. It appears to hold 15 rounds in a clip, with a maximum capacity of 45 rounds total. It can either fire in three-round bursts of hard light or fires a single, focused hard light round. If an enemy is killed with this weapon, they are disintegrated.

BG1's Edge
Again I must call it Even - the Boltgun is more technologically sophisticated (and has explosive kinetic rounds) but the Light Rifle has versatility, disintegration-capable (if that's a way to say it) rounds and range.
