Not sure, but in Rogue Trader, it is is only outclassed by Power Armor, so, that's saying something for it.

well power armour is what a normal space marine wears and they have a 3+ save, so I'm guessing a 4+ for storm trooper carapace

[Capntastic]

Just pointing out that power armour is nowhere near as good as space marine power armor; just like how a boltgun is a pale shadow of what a space marine would use.  What's more, space marines have the black carapace which allows 'em to wear their armor like a second skin.

Edit:  And bear in mind that a 'normal' space marine, fluffwise, is a 10 foot tall inhuman monster that doesn't need to sleep, can control their hormones, has three lungs and two hearts, a ribcage made of steel, etc, and has been conditioned from birth to kick ass.  Stack onto this machine the best armor and weapons in the galaxy spanning Imperium of Man, and a genius mind focused solely on the death of all opposition.  A single 'normal' space marine would be more than a boss fight for an entire rogue trader party.

I've fantasized about having a Dark Heresy group that was unversed in the fluff encounter a Khorne Berzerker.  That'd be a lot of fun.

For X rounds, where X is the amount of player characters.

I never denied that.  I'd just stress to them that this is something they need to run from.

Well, I wouldn't stress it per se.  I'd indirectly stress it via the pieces of the closest acolyte, which would be flying through the air at that point.
