Chaos Space Marine Boss?

[pyxel]

To this day I remember a game of Only War TTRPG where a single chaos space marine wiped floor with our squad of 9 guardsmen (4 player characters and 5 support war-buddies) AFTER tanking 2 melta bombs.

Seeing an 8-foot-tall juggernaut running toward the group while screaming Nurgle's name and revving a chain axe would put the fear of God-Emperor in me for sure.

Yes, lore-wise they would absolutely wreck the player characters, but so would the plague ogryn or the literal hundreds of wretches and chaos guardsmen. It would make for a cool fight and Morrow would still think we are trash.

[Magos Flibble]

half the players cant even kill demon host, so no.

[Merque]

While it might be screaming Nurgle's name, something tells me it wont be "running".

[NITRO]

It would be fun and they will probably add this. Our 4 random prisoner squad can already clear entire hivecity sectors infested with thousands of poxwalkers and beasts of nurgle, why couldnt they take down a space marine anyway

[Anus Wizard]

That would be great but instead we got the "random name" traitor captain

[Nomad]

why would a chaos space marine willing go to this fight? sure i would love to see it but it makes no sense. Plague marines are dam near immortal there is no way in hell you could ever kill it with the 4 player characters.

there is no way a group a 4 reject could kill a chaos space marine , and lets not even talk about a plague marine...

its already farfetch that we can face a nurgle beast and demonhost

chaos space marine are not some dumb cultist that just charge at you waiting to die , they are cunning , set up long term goal and traps, have resources and knowledge AND chaos blessing that empowered them over their already powerful armour , weapon and often psyker power AND conversion field that protect them from both physical and psyker attack

just a trash mob with a conversion field should be enough to kill 4 rejects

ps : conversion field are nothing like refraction field ( the one we see on boss in the game currently ) in term of protective power even if the principal is the same

and now you want that kind of powerhouse with nurgle blessing strong enough to curse your next 5 generation just by looking at it ? Even if by i dont know what kind of miracle you would survive an encounter with a plague marine there is no way you wouldnt be afflict with some kind of uncurable deadly infectious disease and or mutation

who cares what he wants

Fair comments, look, I don't know enough about the lore to be able to gauge how plausible this scenario is or not and I certainly don't have the time to study up. An idea popped into my head and thought I'd share. I explected much worse response to be honest.

The fact that no one on Mourningstar would be impressed by that is still worse than 5 generations of Nurgle cancer.

would make sence, some powerful dude has to be sacrefizing or summuning all these minor and greater demons, and we have have weaponry that can kill marines, chaos or otherwise

[Emperor Fooble]

I hope if they add this, you fight it alongside two dozen NPC guardsmen and it's an 8 player mission and even then it is extremely difficult and requiring a whole lot of skill and luck, because a single marine, Chaos or otherwise would walk through 100 player character acolytes as fast as it takes to shoot and reload 100 rounds of boltgun ammo.

Ogryn bodyguard already killed one in his past mission, while most of reject is actually experienced combatant with poor gear on early game.
Maybe we are unable to kill blessed traitor, but some Spiky boys should be doable mini/assassination in the future.

no current ingame weapon can penetrate a conversion field... a space marine could run fully naked with just a convertion field generator ( neckless or otherwise ) and we couldnt scratch it even with psyker power
