Satin panthers ep rarest. They shall be my finest warriors, these men who give themselves to me. Like clay I shall mould them and in the furnace of war I shall forge them. They will be of iron will and steely muscle. In great armour shall I clad them and with the mightiest guns shall they be armed. They will be untouched by plague or disease, no sickness will blight them. They will have tactics, strategies and machines such that no foe will best them in battle. They are my bulwark against the terror.
They are the defenders of Humanity. They are my Space Marines.

And they shall know no fear. — The Emperor of Mankind The Adeptus Astartes, or Space Marines, are the iconic faction of, created to be humanity's ultimate warriors.
Recruited from the Imperium's most warlike cultures, Space Marines are subjected to a brutal crucible of physical training, biological enhancement, and psychological indoctrination. Those who survive the process know no fear or doubt, will never surrender, and will never tire in their endless battle against the Imperium's numerous foes. Their armament is the finest mankind can provide, and their tactics can defeat any foe. They are the Adeptus Astartes, the vanguard of the Imperium's invasion forces and its most resolute defenders.
They are the Angels of Death, figures of religious awe to the rest of mankind, and objects of terror for its foes. Though there are fewer Space Marines than there are worlds in the Imperium, they number enough for the task at hand. The Space Marines were created by the Emperor ten thousand years ago as he led his Great Crusade to reunite the galaxy. Each of these original twenty legions was led by a Primarch, one of the Emperor's clone-sons, and every legionnaire shared his Primarch's genetic template; thus, each Legion inherited their commander's strengths, tactics, culture, and in some cases flaws. Following the disaster of the, the loyalist Astartes legions were broken down into chapters of roughly a thousand warriors, so that no single man could ever command such an awesome force. Most Space Marine chapters claim a single world as their fief, ruling and recruiting from it, while others are fleet-bound forces that replenish their numbers when and where they can. Recognizing no authority other than the Emperor himself, Space Marines either lead their own crusades to fight the enemies of mankind, or answer petitions for assistance.
They stand apart from the Imperium despite serving it, just as they protect humanity despite transcending it. On the tabletop, standard Space Marines are a well-rounded and forgiving force, and a very popular starting army. The average Space Marine is about as effective as other factions' elite soldiers in both ranged and close combat, while elite Space Marines are some of the most dangerous units on the tabletop. This makes Space Marines expensive in terms of point cost, and therefore inexpensive when it comes to collecting an army. As a consequence, Space Marines are almost always outnumbered by their opponents, not that this should worry them - as Rogal Dorn said, The standard Space Marines 8th edition codex was released in July 2017. NOTE: This page is for the general tropes relating to the Space Marines and specific roles.

Tropes specific to the Primaris Marines meanwhile can be found.: Bolt weapons, the standard Astartes firearms. Instead of bullets, they fire small missiles called bolts with sharpened tips to punch into flesh and armor and mass-reactive detonators that explode them like a grenade. Most bolt weapons use a.75 caliber bolt, while heavy bolters do the same but with a larger caliber round.
