SPACE MARINES
THE ANGELS OF DEATH
INTRODUCTION
AND THEY SHALL KNOW NO FEAR!
With bolters blazing, the battle-brothers of the Adeptus Astartes crush the foes of the
Imperium wherever they may be found. Each Space Marine is an elite, genetically
engineered super-soldier, a mighty and fearless hero worth a hundred lesser men. Armed
with the finest weapons the Imperium can provide, clad in suits of ceramite power
armour and borne to war aboard swift and deadly fighting vehicles, the Space Marines are
the Imperium’s ultimate weapon. Though relatively few in number, it is the Adeptus
Astartes who represent Humanity’s best hope for survival, for they are the greatest
warriors the galaxy has ever known.

THE EMPEROR’S SWORD
The Adeptus Astartes are the epitome of the Imperium’s martial might. Bolters roar and
chainswords snarl as the Space Marines fall upon their foes. Gunships weave through
enemy flak to pound their targets with volleys of missiles and howling laser blasts. Drop
Pods crash down from orbit, hatches blowing open to disgorge squads of bellowing Space
Marines into the enemy’s midst. Adamantium-armoured battle tanks roar forward, guns
firing shot after wrathful shot as they annihilate the war engines of heretic and alien
alike. Assault Marines plunge into the fight upon the blazing contrails of jump packs,
their headlong charge supported by hurtling bikes and Land Speeders. Stalwart
Devastators bring their punishing heavy weapons to bear, their thunderous salvoes
supporting the advance of ancient Dreadnoughts and valiant Space Marine heroes.
Everywhere, the enemy are driven back, their morale shattered and their warriors
slaughtered before the fury of the Angels of Death.
Space Marines are genetically engineered super-soldiers. They are living weapons, whose
duty is to safeguard the Emperor’s realm against its myriad foes. The Adeptus Astartes
have been raised up through arcane science to be greater than unaugmented humans in
every way, yet still these noble warriors follow the example of their Emperor and their
Primarchs, devoting their lives to the defence of Mankind. It is this selfless heroism that
defines the Space Marines, their relentless determination to prevail marking them as
Humanity’s champions and protectors both.
Where organisations like the Astra Militarum or the Adeptus Mechanicus deploy
lumbering armies of millions, the strike forces of the Adeptus Astartes are but a fraction
of this size. Yet a single Space Marine is worth dozens of lesser men, and is the equal of
countless foes. Furthermore, their Battle Barges and swift assault transports allow the
Adeptus Astartes to respond with speed and precision to any threat. If the Imperial Guard
is the hammer of the Emperor, then the Space Marine Chapters are his sword, capable of
parrying onrushing threats or plunging deep into the heart of the foe.
In the war-torn days of the 41st Millennium, the Adeptus Astartes are tested as never
before. Assailed by countless threats, the walls of the Imperium are crumbling while the
flames without rise ever higher. Yet the Space Marines stand firm at every breach, and
strike forth to counter every threat, just as they once fought in defence of the Emperor’s
palace on Holy Terra. These are the champions of Humanity, the greatest warriors the
galaxy has ever known, and while even just one of their number still stands, the
Imperium will never fall.
