Although the nine-star battle groups that Chen Mo brought back from the Warhammer World were all composed of 100 veterans and 900 Primaris Space Marines.
Among them, the Primaris Space Marines are all new recruits who have undergone transformation surgery but have little service and actual combat experience.
The veterans come from the original nine Primarch Chapters. Depending on the Chapter, some of them have undergone Primaris transformation surgery.
Among the nine chapters, the Ultramarines undoubtedly have the highest proportion of Primaris veterans.
On the one hand, this is because the gene seeds of the Ultramarines are the most stable among all nine chapters, and the success rate during the Primaris transformation process is relatively higher.
Although battle groups such as the Space Wolves and Blood Angels are more distinctive and have stronger combat effectiveness, their gene seeds are also more unstable.
Especially the Imperial Fists, this honorary force that once guarded the palace walls of Terra during the Great Heresy. Even when the Primaris Space Marines began to become popular, only seventeen of the nineteen artificial organs in the Chapter's gene-seed were left usable.
.
This undoubtedly puts the Space Marines of the Imperial Fists at a greater disadvantage when undergoing Primaris transformation.
As for the second aspect, there are too many sub-groups of the Ultramarines, and the number of their veterans is also terrifying.
After the Great Rebellion, the nine Loyalist Star Chapters all suffered heavy losses. Among them, Chapters such as the Imperial Fists and the Blood Angels, which faced the Battle of Terra, suffered heavy losses. Even the Reconstruction War
The group’s gene seeds are almost gone.
At this time, it was the Ultramarines who provided gene seeds and some Space Marine support to these chapters to help them rebuild.
After the second establishment of the army and the major split of the legion, the Ultramarines were able to be split into a large number of sub-groups because they retained the largest number of troops, and in the long years that followed, they spread almost throughout the galaxy.
It is even said that nearly one-third of the Empire's three million Space Marines are Ultramarines.
And this also resulted in the fact that among the one hundred veterans in the Ultramarines Chapter who followed Chen Mo, only twenty were not Primaris Space Marines.
This time, the ten veterans they sent to fight were all Primaris Space Marines.
At this moment, they replaced the heavy-duty mk10 powered armor, and like mobile fortresses, they were using flames to purify all enemies they encountered street by street.
The mk10 power armor is different from other types of power armor that Space Marines have ever equipped. It is no longer a simple set of power armor, but can switch different modules according to different tasks to achieve different tactical groupings.
This greatly enhanced the tactical flexibility of the Space Marines, and also allowed them to obtain more powerful equipment.
For example, the heavy-duty mk10 powered armor worn by the Ultramarines at the moment is far superior to the ordinary model of mk10 powered armor in terms of defense and power output. It has a defensive power comparable to that of the Terminator, and at the same time, it is more flexible than the Terminator.
of mobility.
As for the firepower output, it has completely reached the level of the Centurion-class mobile armor, a real heavy assault unit among space warriors in the past.
Valley sip
At this moment, the ten veterans of the Ultramarines are all equipped with full sets of Fire Storm and Fragment Storm launchers. They are advancing while spraying flames from their arms, igniting and purifying the enemies they have encountered in the streets and the severely infected people.
.
Obviously, the Ultramarines adopted more of the combat strategies used to deal with the Nurgle Plague in the original Warhammer world, incinerating all infected to prevent the spread of infection.
But compared to the hives of the human empire in the Warhammer world, the buildings in Rome obviously couldn't withstand the test of the sacred giant fuel, and they burst into flames one after another.
As a result, the road the Ultramarines passed was already a sea of fire, and it was spreading to the surroundings.
Their high-profile approach undoubtedly attracted the attention of the evil spirits in the sky, and evil spirits continued to appear in front of them, trying to eliminate this high-profile force.
But it is obvious that all demons who dare to appear in front of the Space Marines are transformed into a large torch and purified by the holy molten flames shot by the Ultramarines.
You must know that although the Firestorm Gauntlet used by the Ultramarines is not as powerful as the exquisite melta weapon of the Salamander Chapter, it is also a member of the Empire's powerful melta weapon.
It uses promethium/giantium mixed fuel to perform a small-scale nuclear fusion reaction, thereby ejecting an ultra-high temperature jet with a temperature comparable to that of the sun. Even the main armor of the Leman Russ tank of the Astra Militarum in Warhammer World cannot withstand melta weapons.
Shooting at close range, let alone a demon in the flesh?
After those demons were shot by melt weapons, there were still residues left to turn into burning torches, which was enough to prove the strength of their bodies. The bodies of ordinary infected people were directly vaporized.
However, this also caused them to have almost used up the fuel they carried after about two-thirds of the way.
Space Marines are not omnipotent. When they don't have weapons and ammunition, they can't conjure ammunition out of thin air.
What's more, real war is not a third-rate fantasy novel. Everything can be explained by space storage props. The ammunition that space warriors can carry in a mission is limited.
Even though the load of the heavy-duty mk10 power armor was very strong, and each of them carried two large fuel tanks on the armor, the fuel still bottomed out after being sprayed all the way, so they had to stop to replenish it.
At this time, the role of the Ultramarines in bringing along the mortal auxiliary army became prominent. A combat team of the Krieg Death Corps that had been following them could assist these Space Marines in replenishing their weapons with ammunition.
Moreover, the vehicles they drive can also carry more ammunition supplies, allowing the Space Marines to gain stronger combat continuation capabilities.
Of course, even in the Warhammer universe, no mortal army can keep up with the combat speed of the Space Marines. Under normal circumstances, Space Marines rarely cooperate with the mortal army in combat. Only a few battle groups such as the Ultramarines will cooperate with the mortal army.
The act of fighting.
And under normal circumstances, these space warriors will not be unable to fight even if they run out of ammunition.
As long as their power armor can still function normally, every inch of the body of these space warriors will be a dangerous weapon, especially the Firestorm Gauntlets they are carrying now, which not only has the function of spraying flames, it is also powerful
Powerful power gloves.
If someone feels that these Space Marines are not good at close combat and wants to fight up close, these power gloves will teach him how to keep a distance from the Space Marines.
