Do Space Marines still have reproductive organs?
Space Marines do not have sex, because that is not part of their duty to the Emperor. However, they do have reproductive organs in which they carry gene seed of their chapter, which will be harvested by an Apothecary when a Marine dies.
Are all space marines sterile?
Space Marines normally do not reach puberty, as their hormones are messed up during the initiation process. All in all, it is highly likely that Space Marines are sterile, but nothing definite is known.
Can the Primarchs reproduce?
They can “reproduce” in the sense that their genetic material is the basis for the gene seed used to turn an adolescent human boy into an Adeptus Astartes.
Can Space Marines reproduce with human females?
They could (with human females), but their offspring would not be space marines physically, they would only be hearty humans. Marines’ organs have to be grown, augmented and implanted.
Can A Space Marine father a human child?
If so, their children would reflect those genetic changes, but they also might not be viable (i.e. the Space Marines can’t father human children). Also, since there’s a great deal of surgery involved in making a Space Marine, implanted organs, etc. this obviously could not going to breed true in any offspring.
What is the difference between a Space Marine and a space sister?
Sisters are normal people in power armour and are not the woman equivalent of Space Marines, I remember asking that on the old Dakka. I believe that due to the modifications made on Space Marine makes them sterile. I remember reading that somewhere on the explination of the Space Marine glands and organs.
Are most Space Marines born in test tubes?
Most Space Marines are not born or made in test tubes. They are supposed to be aggressive and hardened human teenagers before the gene seed glands are implanted into them and then the body grows into what becomes a Space Marine. Thats the way all the books and fluff I have read tell it anyway.
