That looks like a second edition space marine. But maybe from the starter set.

That sounds about right. A bunch of them came from other people who didn't like Space Marine armies, and most of them either didn't like to paint, or couldn't paint, so I got a lot of extra stuff to paint that way...
 
My 1st set was splitting the Battle of Macragge box set with a friend. He got the tyranids and I got the space marines: They looked like this in 4th edition:

I'm pretty sure bleys21's marine is from the second edition 40k boxed set. They were three piece figures with backpacks and plug fit bolt guns. I think there was a commander and a heavy weapon but the orcs and gretchin in the set were single pose. The newer multipart mk7s box shown above was contemporary but came out six months to a year later. The marines might also have been in one of the "toy boxes" that repackaged old single piece and two piece models.
 
1) And the lack thereof also leads to failure, just differently.
2) ...we were talking about the Empire, right? Right:devil:? I mean, where in the course of all those movies did you see the Empire as "unwilling to use violence":shade:?

...I wouldn't qualify either Darth Trotsky or Darth Lenin as "unwilling to use violence", either:shock:! I mean, the ideologue of Sith Terror? The guy who was responsible of The Aldebaran Famine, leading to millions of deaths?
Please, just don't go there:thumbsup:!

Maybe, but 1) then they wouldn't be Sith and 2) they'd have either failed in a different way, or the power would have been usurped by someone willing and able to use violence to do so.
Basically, the Empire was a totalitarian state from the get-go, none of these continues to exist by virtue of not using violence:shade:!
