The Astartes would totally be on the side of Sauron. They're brainwashed child soldiers filled with xenophobia and hate. Definitely makes more sense for them to be Orcs - actually that's basically what Orcs are in Tolkien.

Or are they silmarillian era elves
Ooo, that could be too.
Nice, they should totally make a regular fantasy version of 40k, would be sick.
Like Warhammer Fantasy?
Yeah 40k Fantasy is it's own thing and doesn't have sweet Space Marines unless you acknowledge the Timescape. And cool kids don't do that. You wanna be cool right?
Yes, that's why I collect Stormcast because they have griffon... Things.
(I don't actually collect them, because why they hell would you when you can have dinosaurs?)
But why not get the drop pods to fly the ring to Mordor?
Astartes vs Sauron, who would win?
I think the Astartes would make Sauron look like the good guy
Can they even resist the Ring though
Sister of battle ring bearer? They might be even better than hobbits
Sister of silence?
A quick review of the lore says no…
Wouldn't that be 50/50?
That's just what we need, Catholic RoboCop being tempted by the one ring, while it tries and fails to get big enough for his Kaiser roll fingers.
"Then it is settled," Elrond said at last. "You shall be the Squadron of the Ring."
Fucking xenos and heretics everywhere.
