It’s not exactly written in the codex Astartes, but one does expect the near demigod tier supersoldiers to be fully self-sufficient and able to hunt if needed.
An army runs on its stomach, and supply lines on an interplanetary scale can be quite fragile.
Space Marines can survive off very little in the lore for surprisingly long periods. All that genetic engineering… somehow.
They can also gain memories from people they eat. And spit acid.
Holup, what were those last two things?
Iirc the lore gets a bit weird about this, but essentially their nutrient requirements are so high that unless they’re eating an entire butchered hog for every meal, they’re basically starving to death. Slowly, yes, but it takes a lot to maintain the astartes’ physiology. Basically tho if things are so bad even the astartes supply line is cut off, you’ve got bigger problems than food to worry about.
Hot damn I want to see what modders do with this game.
Saber’s really showing itself to be a great studio.

This was my first ever 40K game and I had a blast ripping through bugs. I hope there’s a mod that adds more bugs.

It’s a pretty good game to start with tbh. 40k is a crazy fun setting, if you like tactics games give Mechanicus a try. Till this game it definitely held the title for “dopest 40k soundtrack” imo
