MEQ is a slang term among Warhammer 40,000 players that stands for (Space) Marine EQuivalent. It refers to any unit with a stat-line similar to that of a Space Marine (WS4 BS4 S4 T4 W1 I4 A1 Ld8 Sv3+). Usually the important part is how easy or hard they are to kill (Toughness, Wounds and armor save).

There are a number of similar abbreviations in use amongst 40k players:

• TEQ, or Terminator EQuivalent, refers to units with a similar statline to Space Marine Terminators, meaning that the unit gets a 2+ armor save.
• GEQ (Guard Equivalent) is anything with T3 and a 5+ save: Guardsmen, Guardians and Kabalites.
