Space Marines: Codex (English)

Space Marines are genetically enhanced soldiers, created as humanity's ultimate shock troops. Formally known as the Adeptus Astartes, it is the Space Marines who have defended the Imperium for over ten thousand years. They go to war with the best equipment the Imperium has to offer, complementing their enhanced strength, agility, and stamina. They are steeled physically, mentally, and spiritually to wage endless wars and vanquish the most terrifying threats. Fearlessly, they face the greatest threats in the galaxy.

These unwavering warriors belong to different Chapters, closely knit brotherhoods that deploy their forces across the galaxy. Space Marines conduct lightning-fast strikes with the help of transport vehicles, battle tanks, dreadnoughts, gunships, and mighty artillery. They are the Emperor's wrath made manifest, feared by all enemies as Angels of Death.
