except space marines are anything but real-life soldiers :)

of course we're getting caught up in the game and not practicals (and of course the models don't show all the gear an astartes would carry because it would be a massive pain-in-the-ass for the sculpters to continually have to sculpt every bit of equipment that a space marine actually carries), and as mentioned this is a game, games have rules to be followed, otherwise it's not a game and not fun. this is all fiction and it stops being fun when the rules of the setting are broken - see: quite a few of the other rp's. what we're trying to do is to stay as closly as possible to the realm of 40k and the rules inherent within, such as having the weaponry that a space marine is allowed to have (space marine the game isn't canon so it isn't really a credible source). but above all, this is badassmcawesome's rp and his word is law. and as stated in the very 1st post - no overpowered characters: the marine from Space Marine is very overpowered and is not an accurate representation.

the thing about the terminator armour though is that we're a team, and a team can only move at the speed of the slowest member which is why squads are comprised of the same armour type. if 1 member had terminator everyone else would have to keep waiting for him to catch up.
