Just a gnome cyborg wrote: Actually, if an astartes is as tough as a SPARTAN-II, then they can kill an entire army of Zealots.

Can someone post some calcs here? Ummm, Gnome a Elite Zealot has been considered the Bane of all spartan II's, and furthermore a single Elite Minor has been shown to solo an entire UNSC squad. The only reason the UNSC could kill a normal Elite outside of Spartans is due to the Elite minor's cockyness and arragonce.

And no you still need several squads of ODST's to even go toe to toe with an Elite Minor, please don't get your facts from Halo 3 ODST or gameplay, it broke fluff. In fluff normal Elites have been shown to be a Spartan equal, heck even Master Chief was almost killed by a normal Elite Major.

This is how I put Elites in comparison with Astartes

Elite Minor=Scout Marine

Elite Zealot=Tactical Marine

Elite Field Marshal=Space marine Captian

Elite Councilors=Chapter Master

Where would you put Elite SpecOps?
