Space Marines

The Space Marines - warriors of the Adeptus Astartes - are the finest soldiers humanity has to offer. They are genetically enhanced post-humans; their predecessors engineered by the Emperor himself over ten thousand years ago. Made for war, they are unflinching, lightning fast and without fear.

The forces of the Adeptus Astartes are represented by individualised 'Chapters' of roughly a thousand warriors. Many Chapters are able to trace their lineage back to the founding Legiones Astartes, with whom the immortal Emperor carved out his mighty Imperium.
