We're not even cannonically sure if they got benis or not

But if they could breed, they would just breed normal humens

Pretty sure the PC canon is that they're just genetically incompatible. The NSFW canon is that they would literally kill anyone they breed with, rendering the process pointless.

im sure its mumbjo jumbjo that could go either way depending on what the writers want

Makes more sense that they wouldn't be able to have kids since the kids would come out deformed as fuck being genetically sm but without the augmentations

Well, if they could breed they'd probably just breed baseline humans as all that SPEHS MEHREEN stuff is added later on

Though I think the genetic modifications just generally rendered them sterile.

well the idea would be that the emperor could create civilizations using space marines if he elected to create females

Well... it's grimdark, so baseline humans + their legion's geneseed flaw with none of the advantages <:smugon:512048583806025739>

i mean i cant imagine why he wouldnt do that tbh unless it was just impossible

yeah

Well... there is no reason they can't just breed prime candidates

Other then that cloning = bad

Because Emps loves humanity

there is an anime aspect to it though

SPEHS MEHREENS are not humanity, they are the weapons of humanity

"look at this kids dramatic backstory where hes all like loyal/tortured/determined" or something

After all, he might have had a plan to turn the legions on each other once they conquered the galaxy

Well in numerous counts of heretics attempting to recreate SPESS MAREHNS has failed absolutely horribly. The genetic complexity never allowed for any self replication, also known as _fucking_

probably harder to set that up with clones

And when they tried to make a model that could do it, it was either dead, or sucked

Or was just a chaos space marine, which doesn't count

wouldnt be surprised if it one day turned out to be related to warp fuckery in some way

They are closer to being manufactured then anything and thus cannot naturally breed

Makes sense to me

It's all warp fuckery

well everything is warp fuckery technically

If it isn't warp fuckery, it's tyranids.

but i mean in some more involved way that isnt led on in some way

Tyranigs

The way to recreate a SPEHS MEHREEN is, well, unpleasant. Chaos has daemonculabas and they're top tier nightmare fuel gore.

Tyranids would have a better chance at making a space marine that could reproduce, but you don't want that outcome

Cloning even works on primarchs

hey does anyone of you remember the book Carl promoted? The one about cult behaviour?

There've been a couple

"wrong way home" or something wasnt it?

Though Fabulous Bile only tried Horus and Ferrus and Horus has no soul because Emps made sure to stomp on that shit, while Ferrus kept being furiously loyal so they had to put him down <:smugon:512048583806025739>

Space marine reproduction isn't even important just let chapters be not capped at 1k

>implying they respect that

Black templar master race

Not gonna change until the god emperor is reanimated.
