10 Fates In The Warhammer 40K Universe Worse Than Death

10. Becoming A Space Marine

Surely this is some kind of mistake? Being a super jacked, genetically enhanced super soldier would be amazing right? Sure, if you like being psycho-chemically indoctrinated into being entirely subservient to a lumbering and stagnant empire. Also if you're a fan of having most of your humanity emotionally and physically removed from you.

The creation of an Astartes is a violent and invasive procedure involving the implantation of various super-human organs and the crucial gene-seed containing all the genetic coding and quirks for each specific chapter of space marines. These have often been recycled from fallen brothers so you'll most likely be getting a grotty hand-me-down shoved inside you.

If you survive having your innards scooped out and replaced you'll be slapped on the front lines ready to suffer any of the rest of the fates on this list. Not really a fair trade for wash board abs when you think about it.
