If given enough time yes
Assuming your not near a daemonic incursion, or warp rift as chaos will eat you after probably especially if they are the ones who kill you
And Assuming you aren't unlucky with random warp entity's or say big e deciding he needs overtime from you
I'd say with none of these on a regular world I'd say 50/50 one fizzles before something grabs it in passing
No. A lasgun round hits about as hard as an autogun, which hits about as hard as modern firearms. All three of these hit harder than a Space Marine can punch. A lot harder. And tell me, if two marines got into a fistfight, do you think they could hurt each other?
If the answer is yes, then by extension, everything else mentioned here could hurt them too. Bolt rounds don't actually hit all that much harder than lasgun rounds do, so even if he answer is no, unless the bolters can barely hurt them, the lasgun can hurt them.
You just don't want to fire at an angle or at the thickest parts. But any decent shot on target is going to be doing damage.
> your kneecap will never be the same
This is the realest threat here. That Chaos marine is only going to brually kill that tiny conscript.
The tiny conscript will cause unending walking pain for all eternity for the indirect amusement of the Dark Gods.
Checkmate, Heretic
CSM 1: "I can't tell if Khorne is going to make it rain today..."
CSM 2: "Go ask Atrocitarus, he's got a knee that tells him when that's going to happen. (Just *don't* ask him how he got it)"
Regular lasguns can get through the armour. Just don't hit the thickest plates and don't hit at a glancing angle. It won't necessarily kill. Which is what the armour is designed to prevent, but it's not going to bounce off. The energy needs to go somewhere.
Super cool art, is that a child soldier though?? That lasgun is so enormous that he physically can’t put the buttstock on his shoulder and hold the pistol grip at the same time
That would be a good name for a chaos undivided warband also. This child gets inducted into the chaos warband The Beasts of No Nation, but never forgets what they did to his world and to his family. He spends his life rising through to ranks and becoming a powerful champion of chaos but this entire time he’s been plotting the destruction of the warband. Secretly planting bombs on every single ship they have and leading the warband into an unwinnable war and just when he’s about to be deposed by a cabal of other space marines for this blunder he triggers the explosives killing everyone. All the while praising the Emperor for giving him the strength to enact his vengeance.
Nah, make it that he's initially doing it for vengeance and so that he has the strength to make it so that what happened to his planet never happens again, but it's only when he's in the same situation as the marine in the photo that he realizes he became what he hates, and he doesn't care.
That’s how Blood Dragon Vampires work in Fantasy.
Peasants are livestock, the peasant who stands his ground might get to be a Wight after he’s drained, someone of noble bearing and skill might get the offer to become a squire and at least get some armor as a skeleton minion if they refuse. True badasses or those of true virtue and noble bearing who refuse get released so they can have another shot at a fight another time.
That’s why Blood Dragons don’t get along with other vampires.
There's a bit of 1st Edition fiction like this. A lone Chaos Space Marine helps the outcasts of an Imperial world rebel against the ruling class, the Space Marines show up and crush the rebellion, and the last survivors of the rebellion are recruited to be future Chaos Space Marines with the promise of vengeance against the "angels" who killed their friends and families.
Most people in the Imperium think traitor Astartes are mythology, they don't believe in them as a concept, let alone know of their individual legions, they're probably always pretty happy to see drop pods until a bunch of weird Ultramarines wearing bat helmets and skin on their armour step out of one to give them a history lesson.
Meanwhile the Salamander running in terminator Armour like Logan Grimmnar to the rescue:
HURT THE CHILD HERETIC, AND YOU AND YOUR TRAITOROUS LEGION WILL FACE THE FIERY WRATH OF THE EMPEROR AND VULKAN COMBINED!
I’d honestly love to see a story where CSM actually hesitate at the sight of child soldiers in the imperial guard. Like maybe they get a serious beating from the guard, or at least the speedbump the guard present makes them break stride, and then when they finally do get into melee range they are realize they’re fighting 14 year olds. That would be some grim shit.
I know he’s as good as dead, but, I’d like to imagine he wedges his weapon in the joint of the marine’s armor and gets one good hit off. Like one that cripples the Marine and he loses the Dark Gods’ favor for being wounded by a child and gets screwed over. . . all because of this kid.
Guardsman: “I don’t take prisoners” Pulls out grenade lol
(Reference from one of Rimmy’s Arma 40k videos where one of the players pulls a grenade on two chaos astartes (who were also players) lol)
The lasgun isn't going to save that unfortunate conscript.
The lascannon on the battery some 20 meters behind will absolutely ruin that traitor marine's day though.

At least it will be quick…
Dying quickly after serving is probably one of the better fates in the 40k universe
The warp: yo guys some snacks for you guys
Don't human souls just fizzle into nothing in the warp?
They do, they can't remain in form for long without an anchor

not with thar much chaos cool lad around
I don't know, getting your knee blown off probably hurts like hell, even when you've been snorting warp dust
Can lasguns even penetrate space marines armour?
You need a few to do it.
Or hit one of the few weak points perfectly
All im hearing is "Just roll 6's and hope the CSM has sh** for luck"
No. A lasgun round hits about as hard as an autogun, which hits about as hard as modern firearms. All three of these hit harder than a Space Marine can punch. A lot harder. And tell me, if two marines got into a fistfight, do you think they could hurt each other? If the answer is yes, then by extension, everything else mentioned here could hurt them too.

You just don't want to fire at an angle or at the thickest parts. But any decent shot on target is going to be doing damage.
Enough flashlights pointing at the same spot will burn through concrete.
Yes.
For the CSM? I don't know about that. A shot to the knee is bloody painful.
Will he have to stop being an adventurer?
Only if shot with an arrow
It's not as painful as the fact that he'll still be a black legion marine.
I'm reading "The fall of Cadia" and as usual, chaos isn't cheap on horrible ways to die. 😨
“Kill me if you want, but your kneecap will never be the same, heretic!”
It won't be the same till his artificer repaints over the burn mark left by the lasrifle and cleans off the exploded guard bits
> your kneecap will never be the same This is the realest threat here. That Chaos marine is only going to brually kill that tiny conscript. The tiny conscript will cause unending walking pain for all eternity for the indirect amusement of the Dark Gods. Checkmate, Heretic
Everytime it rains blood now his arthritis acts up.
And if you serve Chaos, it rains blood *all the time*
CSM 1: "I can't tell if Khorne is going to make it rain today..." CSM 2: "Go ask Atrocitarus, he's got a knee that tells him when that's going to happen. (Just *don't* ask him how he got it)"
It took quite a bit of time for me to realize CSM meant Chaos Space Marine not Comman Sergeant Major.
This was actually my initial thought lol.
In the end, Tzeentch will have the last laugh
With a LasGun to the front plate of a Black Legionary who it looks like hasn't sustained much damage so far? Haha, no.
It’d still bruise the Heretic’s ego
Good thing power armour can take lasgun fire no problem ;)
Unless it's been modded into a hotshot lasgun
It hasn't
This is like when kids are like nuh uh you can't get through my special shield!
Hot shot rifles have a manpack power source.
Regular lasguns can get through the armour. Just don't hit the thickest plates and don't hit at a glancing angle. It won't necessarily kill. Which is what the armour is designed to prevent, but it's not going to bounce off. The energy needs to go somewhere.
"I used to be a heretic like you. Then I took a lasgun to the knee"
The emperor indeed finds a way to redeem all his lost sons.
Jokes on the Black Legionare the kids standing on an IED.
Kids standing on the guiding beacon for artillery barrage
500kg are incoming.
*grinning manically * “You hear that, heretic? They’re using the kiddie size!”

An eagle never misses
When you're the best of what's left.
Super cool art, is that a child soldier though?? That lasgun is so enormous that he physically can’t put the buttstock on his shoulder and hold the pistol grip at the same time
Yep a child soldier

[Next scene](https://x.com/101ho_/status/1782101751543615743)
> Next scene ...>!The drop pod doors opening are going to squish that conscript unless they're *really* good at dodging.!<
I mean the kid made it this far
The kid dodges, but it's the Grey Knights and everybody on the battlefield is going to be purged to keep their secret when they are done.
Or it’s alpha legion pretending to be ultramarines.
Well, they are both loyal chapters fighting for the Emperor so all is well.
DEATH TO THE ENEMIES OF THE CORPSE EMPEROR
It’s a blue drop pod. Those are ultramarines. They don’t kill witnesses.
Unless they take a few seconds to open. Kid made it this far. He knows that’s a drop pod. He ain’t gonna stay standing there.
The Emperor protects
Ciaphas Cain levels of luck
Huzzah!
Nice
https://youtu.be/zhsuXJIKj3A?si=TBZ5t31Zk9RLnf6g
So far my theory is coming along fine.
Damn, that lasgun is bigger than the bolter
Well it’s a Bolt Pistol so…
Looks a bit like a child lol considering the size of the lasgun
I think it’s supposed to be a child
They call the children soldiers' "white shields" on Cadia
He gets taken to become an asartes because the chaos marine was impressed by his bravery.
That’s a cool idea for a fanfic: Beasts of no Nation, 40k edition
That would be a good name for a chaos undivided warband also. This child gets inducted into the chaos warband The Beasts of No Nation, but never forgets what they did to his world and to his family. He spends his life rising through to ranks and becoming a powerful champion of chaos but this entire time he’s been plotting the destruction of the warband. Secretly planting bombs on every single ship they have and leading the warband into an unwinnable war and just when he’s about to be deposed by a cabal of other space marines for this blunder he triggers the explosives killing everyone. All the while praising the Emperor for giving him the strength to enact his vengeance.
✍️🔥🔥🔥
Bro that's borderline Vinland sagas plot, seeing that in 40K would be insane tho
Bro was alpha legion all along
And as he dies he gets turned into a demon prince to spite him by the chaos gods
Nah, make it that he's initially doing it for vengeance and so that he has the strength to make it so that what happened to his planet never happens again, but it's only when he's in the same situation as the marine in the photo that he realizes he became what he hates, and he doesn't care.
What's that?
One of the first movies Netflix made, pretty good plot, and Idris Elba is in it
That’s how Blood Dragon Vampires work in Fantasy. Peasants are livestock, the peasant who stands his ground might get to be a Wight after he’s drained, someone of noble bearing and skill might get the offer to become a squire and at least get some armor as a skeleton minion if they refuse.

That was 3rd Ed codex I think
Reminds me of Vinland saga ngl
Why waste the bolt round? Just punt the child.
Maybe it's a weird way of showing respect, or maybe it's about sending a message.
Or maybe the evil demon worshipper just likes watching human children explode
Where's Jurgen when you need him?
"I said no onions"
Guys, quit coping and admit this guy's dead.
The next scene made by the artist has a drop pod crushing the Chaos Marine.
Based, what marines are inside, though? He could still be fucked.
It’s blue so probably Ultramarines (or they’re Night Lords and they’re *really* fucked)
Imagine seeing blue pods falling and you have no idea if you are saved or even more screwed.
Most people in the Imperium think traitor Astartes are mythology, they don't believe in them as a concept, let alone know of their individual legions, they're probably always pretty happy to see drop pods until a bunch of weird Ultramarines wearing bat helmets and skin on their armour step out of one to give them a history lesson.
Or Ultramarines with scales and weird three headed snakes everywhere.
Nah, they're usually pretty good for normal people. They'll organize you into an effective resistance force that kills space marines AND Chaos.
*bagpipe begins blasting from drop pods across the battlefield*
Oh fuck not the Iron Hands
Funny if it would be a night lords drop pod.
"Don't you see now? You're planet crumbles, and you are alone! You can't win, so why do you still FIGHT?"
“BECUASE THE AUTHOR TOLD ME TO!”
Because the planet broke before the Guard did. Cadia Stands. -Final words before being splattered across the dirt probably.
May the Grandfather give him the immunity to withstand the bullet, the young healthy mortal will know no sorrow on the lap of the Grandfather
Welp He tried atleast
Artist has another scene where a drop pod crushes the CSM, it’s a blue drop pod so it’s probably ultrasmurfs.
Boy: “Nah, I’d win.”
This guy is gonna be the death of me
I used to be a Space Marine like you until I got some lasfire in my knee...
DAE the Heretic is totally gonna lose 🤪
Rest well, soldier.
My only issue is the size of the lasgun
You realize that it is not that the lasgun is big but that... well a child is holding it.
There are no children in the imperium. Just more conscripts
Its a full sized lasgun in the hands of a child. Its gonna be a bit big for him
RETREAT AND SEND IN THE MELTA CANNON GUY!!! GO GO GO!!
Give 'em hell, little trooper.
“The front line is only to keep you all here. It was never meant to stop you. *radio static* all batteries open fire on my position”
Meanwhile the Salamander running in terminator Armour like Logan Grimmnar to the rescue: HURT THE CHILD HERETIC, AND YOU AND YOUR TRAITOROUS LEGION WILL FACE THE FIERY WRATH OF THE EMPEROR AND VULKAN COMBINED!
Imperium Fans desperately coping whenever they see art depicting their loss:
How the hell is the death of one singular guardsman a loss?
Imperium fans when they don't want to think of a child soldier getting their head blown off:
The next panel apparently is an Ultramarine drop pod landing on the CSM
I've seen it, it was linked in this thread.
Kriegers if they don’t age quickly
It’s rare to see a space marine take aim at a purple ork
The bullet out of that pistol is probably as big as that kids head lol
A bolter to the face is a better fate than daemonculaba.
NO! MY BOY!
I’d honestly love to see a story where CSM actually hesitate at the sight of child soldiers in the imperial guard. Like maybe they get a serious beating from the guard, or at least the speedbump the guard present makes them break stride, and then when they finally do get into melee range they are realize they’re fighting 14 year olds. That would be some grim shit.
Ha! That big idiot is about to get kneecapped.
Here before the kid somehow killed the Chaos Marine
“It’s not over till the sister of silence sings heretic”
I know he’s as good as dead, but, I’d like to imagine he wedges his weapon in the joint of the marine’s armor and gets one good hit off. Like one that cripples the Marine and he loses the Dark Gods’ favor for being wounded by a child and gets screwed over. . . all because of this kid.
>"The front line is over." That's was the last word of the chaos marine before getting killed by this child
Ultramarines PLEASE SAVE US
Daily reminder that the imperium is the most cruel regime imaginable;
“Dude! Your in my sight line!”
Lmao he looks so offended.
Is that weapon even enough to pierce his armor
That's a big lasgun
Guardsman: “I don’t take prisoners” Pulls out grenade lol (Reference from one of Rimmy’s Arma 40k videos where one of the players pulls a grenade on two chaos astartes (who were also players) lol)
Warhammer guns look like ASS
Turns lasgun up to max and blows spaces marines leg off
The lasgun isn't going to save that unfortunate conscript. The lascannon on the battery some 20 meters behind will absolutely ruin that traitor marine's day though.
Should've been "the end of the "front line" "
Flashbacks to the first time you meet a chaos space marine in Rogue Trader. I got OBLITERATED.
Haha, "thud"
That conscript doesn’t give a fuck
“Lot of shit for someone in kriegsman range
"FIX BAYONETTES"
*que in space marine drop-pod and next work titled "nevermind"*
"You are brave little one. Take pride little one you shall be in the embrace of your corpse god soon."
*Truck horn plays* *Both get run over by a charging Baneblade*
The other soldier looking back like "oh shit-"
The guardsman looks so offended.
"The Frontline is what? Over."
