{{Oldschool}}

[[Image:Beakies.jpg|thumb|450px|right|Look at this fucking [[Brits|armour]]. You know you want it.]]

Popular name for Space Marines, derived from the helmet shapes of Mk. VI 'Corvus' [[Power Armor|powered armour]], an earlier pattern of [[Space Marine]] armour. [[Rogue_Trader_(Sourcebook)|Looked like KNIGHTS IN SPAAAAACE.]] Now they look like Stormtroopers on steroids. The [[Raven Guard]] has more of this pattern of armor than any other chapter, due to genetic similarities to those feathery beasts.

Actually a result of games workshops' shitty [[casting|molding]] skills in the early days and later attempts to [[retcon]] old models into being acceptable.

Recently, [[Forge World]] actually put out a line of the old pre-Heresy armors, including the Corvus (Beakie) Pattern, and even older armors as well. This is far more awesome than it sounds, and the line comes with weapons accurately modeled to old [[Rogue_Trader_(Sourcebook)|Rogue Trader]] illustrations. You know those old, crappy show models you keep on your shelf to prove your [[Neckbeard]] superiority? Well, now you can actually get ''good'' versions of them, that you aren't pants-wettingly scared to play with.

'''Geedubs has put out a 30th anniversary Beakie mini!''' It also costs $30. That's a lot for just one limited-run mini, though it also comes with 40k rules for the marine and his fancy disintegration weapons, as well as (according to the video) Index Astartes: Apocrypha, which has stuff like the evolution of the Space Marines and power armor since Rogue Trader, early uniform guides, old school Horus Heresy stories, vehicles artwork, and stuff generally relevant to [[Old School Roleplaying|OLD SCHOOL ROLEPLAYING!]] https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Imperial-Space-Marine-2016

==A Comparison==
For comparison's sake, let's pit the Beakies up against modern day Space Marines.

*'''Beakies...'''
**Have dicks that work.
**Are badass space cops.
**[[/tg/ gets shit done|Get shit done]].
**Are not afraid to choke a bitch.
**Betrayed the Emperor! [[Wat]]

*'''Modern Marines:'''
**[[Indrick Boreale|ARE DA SPEHSS MAHREENS! DEY ARE TEH EMPRA'S FUREH!!!]]
**Have [[Pauldrons]].
**Are comprised of about 90% [[Mary Sue]]. The remaining 5% are [[White Scars]], [[Iron Hands]] and [[Raven Guard]] and the other 5% [[Scythes of the Emperor|consist]] [[Crimson Fists|of these]] [[Lamenters|poor bastards]].

Was there ever any contest?
