Do remember that Astartes can also eat people's brains to learn basically everything that they know.

"Why can't women become Space Marine--"
Insert bolter round through skull here.
"Any more questions?"
(Yes, to any Lefty out there, this is tongue-in-cheek. To quote Bart Simpson: "Don't have a cow, man").
Let's assume that Doom Eagles and Silver Skulls chapters with a combined fleet of 2 battle barges, seven strike cruisers and 20ish rapid strike vessels appeared in our Solar System with 2000 Space Marines.
Assume they do their usual battle doctrines, etc...
How long will it take till all nations on Earth have capitulated and surrendered to Space Marines?
I knew this premise sounded familiar. My answer there hasn't changed, space marines likely cannot force capitulation without resorting to means that leave the earth bombed into uselessness.
The Adeptus Astartes would have total orbital supremacy here. Should Earth prove foolish enough to resist, they can carry out decapitation strikes at will until we submit.
Which will be "never". Strategic bombing has never successful broken the will of a country and forced them to surrender (it worked once, in a dictatorship where they only needed to crack one guy, and even then it was close).
I'll also point to Hiroshima and Nagasaki.Which will be "never". Strategic bombing has never successful broken the will of a country and forced them to surrender (it worked once, in a dictatorship where they only needed to crack one guy, and even then it was close).
On numerous occasions. Iraq imploded because of it, and North Vietnam came crawling to the negotiating table when America stepped up its bombing campaign.

Unfortunatelly,they later kill all christians.Muslims,hindu , buddhists and jews,too - but i do not care about them.
Prolly kill us anyway due to some claim of heresy or a demon plot about how this couldn't be terra.
if the fanfic cross overs have taught me anything they don't really even know how their equipment/machinery largely works and are living in a sort of idiocracy world in that regards, like it breaks down and they have no idea how to repair it, they can "turn it on" and "off" but even to do that they go around praying to the emperor.
