If they can, the vast majority of space marine chapters will absolutely try to help civilians. It's just that, in warhammer 40k, those opportunities don't often arise. And because of their solitary, dutiful lives where they only speak to other space marines, they don't often know how to effectively interact with normal humans (even though I'd think they'd like to).
Granted, the Salamanders would say "fuck that, we help them anyway", which is why I like Vulkan's boys quite a bit. In their case, their regular interactions with other humans, their families no less back on Nocturne, equips them for dealing with the Imperium's citizenry.
On the flipside there's the Marines Malevolent and the Black Templars who are just bundles of rage and hatred that need to be pointed as far away from civilised space as possible.
He was about the Witcher, too.He actually likes the series and is passionate about it
He was still passionate about the role, though. He was greatly let down with what happened to the show.Yeah but he was not more than the lead in the Witcher iirc
Thing is, it's not sustainable over the long term; which is part of the point of the setting. Everything is in a constant downward spiral that will inevitably culminate in the destruction of all reality, and nothing anyone does can do more than slow the deterioration down slightly. Failure is always the only option; because otherwise, it wouldn't be Warhammer.The Imperium is a crapsack dinosaur that's barely holding itself together, but it's a way of keep mankind alive and together. Is it the best way? No. Is it the only way currently? Yep. They do what they do for good reasons.

The galaxy as a whole is decaying, and the Imperium is losing ground every day. Even if it's only like an inch a day in the vast span of the galaxy, it's still a loss that's adding up.Uh what?
That definitely is not how it is going setting wise

There's a good few more that I can't recall, but short of the matter the only ones more screwed are the eldar/dark eldar/other eldar sects and the tau (because they're a young race in a galaxy about to plunge freefall, and their dumbass views on things like daemons being nothing more than aliens, et cetera. They're gonna get chewed up in decades when/if the Imperium falls).
You have Chaos and the Eye of Terror splitting open finally- You have the tyranids, which are implied to be coming from multiple galaxies, multiple directions around the Milky Way (as in they ate them) and are said to be running from something worse themselves; not to mention that the amount seen so far are like a single hair's worth on a head of hair
- The necrons are slowly waking up
- People who tried to flee the Milky Way, IIRC, found out that Chaos is everywhere outside of it, so no escape there (which actually conflicts with the tyranids, actually)
- Orks. Fucking. Orks. 'nuff said
I'm sure GW have a McGuffin lined up though, like the Emperor being reborn/healed and bringing actual hope to humanity -- they were just waiting (as in decades of waiting) for a Crusade to finally win and Cadia to be destroyed, to start the whole Dark Imperium arc they've had planned.
I reckon the thing that Tyrannids are fleeing from is their gnawing hunger, for them it is fate worse than death.are said to be running from something worse themselves
Possibly: since they're coming from multiple directions (from multiple galaxies), it could be that they ate everything else and the Milky Way is the only buffet left.I reckon the thing that Tyrannids are fleeing from is their gnawing hunger, for them it is fate worse than death.
Maybe, I mean it is Titus so maybe not since he is an Ultramarine.Now this could be interesting... I wonder if we'll see more hints in upcoming media, like Space Marine II...
