If you really look at how GW set-up the 40k world with the grim and mass war and violence in the galaxy it won't be surprising to see a guy coming back finally after like 20+ life/death battles with tons of battle damage on his armor or even missing an arm or something. |
Cool, you have percentages! Made up or do you actually have a source (If made up I don't care. It's like saying 60% of the time, you're right everytime). I would believe that about 30-60% of the time they are traveling through the warp or flying between systems. Space travel is slow, and marines don't get special treatment from the Immaterium.
Sure they would be damaged, but the techmarine and artifacers would repair that armour between battles. I'm pretty sure they also throw in the paint job, so let's just say that those marines that have extensive damage have been crusading without a techie for a long time.
