What happens when all the bangles and bedazzled shit hanging off of the average marine gets knocked off or comes loose in battle?
Do the cultists have to collect and reapply them afterwards, or do they get more from the Chaos/Emperor's mall?
Also can you buy them if scavengers manage to break down the armor and pawn it somewhere in Tau territory I imagine?
You have to buy some superglue from the modeling supplies area.
How much faster would the average marine be without all that shit hanging off them?
Do female space marines tend to wear more accessories than their male counterparts?
I want answers /tg/, not (you)'s

Problem is that one needs to have black carapace to be able to control the power armor, which itself is designed for a giant.

It would be extremly humiliating...
The real answer, since you seem to actually want one, is that it is indeed the job of peasants and followers (and occasionally Inquisitor's assistants), to collect up the remnants of a battle.
Some things that were actually destroyed will be replaced out of the chapter's stocks - rank markings & similar, others will be replaced by new trophies from battle.

So what happens when a brother fights a ton of Chaos marines and decides he likes the look of some of their undivided emblems?
Execution, reeducation, or do they slap it out his hands?

There's a cure for that, you put your bolt pistol's muzzle flat against your temple and pull the trigger.

Top zozzle.

Probably the hand-slapping, then a friendly suggestion to take something else. Like heads. The Imperium loves skulls.

Would a marine even be able to perceive a hand slap from a non-marine?

I'm sure you could catpaw something out of a space marine's hand. Just as long as he doesn't care about it enough to tighten his grip.

How would a cat's paw help the situation? Do cats even exist in the 40k universe? Distract him with the cat and try to iron grip the bauble loose?

Well, historically, bodies after battle were rounded up and thrown into mass graves, rolled into deep furrows in the field and buried, or stacked up and burned, or just left there.
In Fantasy/40k, I distinctly remember one of the early Gaunt's Ghost books describing them watching the massive figures of Space Marines in the distance while they piled up the dead cultists for a pyre, just throwing whole bodies meters through the air or carrying a half dozen at a time.
Presumably for Fantasy/40k where the gear/loot is heretical, it's similarly destroyed. Maybe, MAYBE the bodies of xenos are not burned and simply buried, but I'd like to assume the bodies of chaos followers are always burned, along with anything in prolonged contact with them.
>on the subject of looting
The Imperial Infantyman's Uplifting Primer is quite clear on the consequences. In addition, one of the Gaunt books is equally clear that most competent guardsmen know not to loot chaos artifacts, and to just shoot/burn/destroy them instead, and be sure not to inhale the fumes/let any fragments or splinters sit in your flesh.
