I have run a trial game pitting Space Marines against Orks. For the Orks I used the rules found on this site. I came up with the following stats for Space Marines using the REIGN system. 

The stats below simulate the Space Marines as the Gods of War they are portrayed as in GW fiction. Ten of these can defeat dozens of enemies. For the tabletop version you should lower all stats and skills with 1d and all armor with 1AP.

Adeptus Astartes   

Astartes

Body 5d
Athletics 4d
Endurance 4d
Fight 5d + 1Ed
Parry 5d
Run 3d
Vigor 4d+ed

Sense 4d
Direction 3d
Hearing 3d
Sight 4d

Charm 1d

Coordination 5d
Climb 2d
Dodge 4d
Weapon: Bolter 5d+1Ed
Weapon: Sword 5d +1Ed

Command 4d
Inspire 1d
Intimidate 3d

Knowledge 2d
Tactics 4d
Strategy  4d+1Ed

Advantages:
Leather Hard
Thick Headed
Resilient (ignore all Shock after combat)

Duty: Serve the Emperor
Craving: Achieve Victory in Battle

Weapons:
Astartes Bolter = W+3SK, Pen 3, Spray 3d
Astartes Bolt pistol = W+2SK, Pen 1, Spray 1d
Chainsword= W+2K, Pen 2
Stormbolter (only with Terminator Armour) = same as Bolter but all damage is calculated twice

Armour:

Astartes Power Armour = 4 AP all locations, 5AP Body (locations 7-9), +1 Body, +1Ed Sight
Terminator Armour= 5AP all locations, +1 Body, +1Ed Sight

According to the fiction, the Space Marines are flat out superhuman. I'd raise Coordination to 6 and Body to 5+MD.

Also, Resilient in Wild Talents transfers Killing into Shock (which then heals normally) after combat, rather than instantly removes Shock. This might better simulate the SM's reputed healing talents.

avatar In REIGN you can't buy MDs or EDs in stats.

Also, the stats are for a brother marine. Captains and Commanders should have Body and/or Coordination 6. Commanders would also have MDs in Strategy, Tactics, Bolters and Chainswords.

Your Resilient version is a good suggestion. I will use that one.

avatar The AA have several implants that make them superhuman. Two hearts, an extra size liver, and super-efficient lungs for starters.
Thick bone structure, etc etc.
Super fast healing from killing damage?
Not so much. IMHO.
6d body yes , regeneration no.
Sucking up shock damage after a fight yes.
They are super hot rodded humans in very nice armor with one purpose in mind.
'Killing your heretical ass.' :woohoo:

True, no MD for stats in Reign, but as a special situation for this, I thought it might apply. Minimum 6d Body then, I should think.
I would think faster healing from killing damage would apply. At a minimum the Primarchs had it, as the fiction about Leman Russ taking a Chainsword through the heart.
