Though Space Marines look abnormal for a variety of reasons (mostly size, but their skeletal enhancements can variously make them look unusual), they can still be found rather attractive to members of the fairer sex. If extremely intimidating.
Please it WILL be a huge problem for me in my daily life. I mean come on, the height of a SM is 2-3 meters tall right?
The height of my house is 2.5 meters if I remember correctly, and the height of the public transportation is about 2 meters.
And add in the fact that the average population height is about 1.60 meters...I will look FREAKING out of place.
Add in the fact that Warhammer kind of style isn't very well known or highly liked by many people in singapore...I will look very weird and abnomral.
I got a feeling this kind of body size and shape will NOT help me at all...and I will NOT enjoy it.
I go play football for a couple years, make a retarded sum of money, retire, and go into politics. I then use my position to screw several other members out of their terminator armor and power weapons, cause well, I want one. Following that, I either, attempt to actually change things within the system, or retire to an island somewhere in the Med.

OK, that's pretty fine control. Any idea whether that kind of control over ones body is just part of their wiring or whether it's something that comes with experience?

I get extremely depressed that I haven't made any real effort to inflate my post count, because I really wanted a chainsword or power weapon. Not to mention an Assault Marine jump pack. Then I try to join the Secret Service. Because NOBODY is going to be crazy enough to try to assassinate the President with me standing next to him.
Failing that, probably join the military. If nothing else, getting through any special forces training I'd care to attempt should be a piece of cake. Though Jump School might get ugly without the aforementioned jump pack. I thought about something like firefighting but I don't know how well that would work due to my sheer size and issues like fire-damaged building supports.

Makes me glad I haven't artificially inflated my post count, this way I get spared being turned into a hormonally fucked up monstrosity and can stay my normal six foot bulky self.
So I stare wistfully at the Lightning for a couple of minutes. Two missiles, sharply raked razor-thin wings, a huge, pregnant belly full of fuel, and the two screamingly powerful engines that once rammed it from a cold start to a thousand miles per hour in under a minute. Life would be so much easier if our adverseries could be dealt with by supersonic death on wings - but alas, Human resources aren't so easily defeated.

Well, yeah, but I already have enough posts that I'm stuck being a hormonally fucked up monstrosity, so I may as well make the best of it. And making the best of this scenario involves Terminator armor, or at the very least assault gear.

On the other hand a hormonally fucked up monstrosity engineered for combat would be welcomed with open arms by Her Majesties Armed Forces instead of being turned away for not having good enough vision as my seventeen year old self was.
Ah well poo happens.

Oh yeah, I completely forgot about that. It will be interesting to go through training when you are already above and beyond any physical requirements. They just have to teach me how to use guns properly and how to effectively function in a fire team, as I didn't learn much of that being an MM3 in the Navy.
One odd little downside that occurs to me of this, is that this website would be pored over by every intelligence agency and news agency in the world once news of this broke. That might be more embarassing than the physical appearance.
The big pluses are that I'd never need to work out again for fitness, I'd lose all the excess weight, and get normal human vision for the first time in my life. The downer would be the inability to go out much without problems with the attention and smashing the tops of door frames off. I'd probably start going to the local gym to play mind-fuck games with the resident body builders...

As per the OP, there's no risk of Chaos corruption... but I don't think that's the same as just deciding to support them.
Be interesting to see what the 2012 Olympics would be like though, what with all the Astartes running around (and be honest, when you've got an 8ft guy staring down at you in a suit of power armour, are you going to say "no you can't compete"?)...
I do what I did in the last thread of this nature: sell my suit and kit to General Dynamics Land Systems for as much as I can get. Then my family and I bugger off up north where people will hopefully leave me alone.

Good news is that the power armor is going to stop anything short of an anti-tank round...
For supermods/ and 20000+ post people: The Predator tank will stop probably stop anything short of a nuke as it can stop a multi-melta round (see Connor MacLeod's analysis on the multi-melta on how powerful it is).
