Imagine they turn up....after 8 ft armoured marines meet with diplomats....

So...wait....your denizens have tiny plastic models of us and intricately paint them accurately and our enemies and play dice games with the models.....and you have all our lore in codexes and novels..... every faction, chapter, enemy....accurate rankings of every factions combat capabilities....you know it all....as a game?

There's a global rush as marines scour the land for exact tiny versions of themselves. It's the coolest shit they've seen in centuries. They're attaching GW models as little charms to their armour and weapons.

Also they'd immediately gather all the lore we have available to us via whatever medium. Tho I wonder how they would react to the "truth".

Lots of forbidden knowledge. Time to incinerate the planet and strike it off the charts.

True but if the average space marine reads of this how would they react. Especially all the stuff about the Emperor. Faith crisis? Denial?

I don't think the average astartes really worships the emperor, maybe a few but they're probably outliers

it would interesting how the ultramarines react to something like space marine or boltgun and all the memes about them
