Space Marines (Warhammer 40,000)

For space marines as science fiction characters in general, see space marine.


In the table-top wargame Warhammer 40,000, the Space Marines are easily the most commonly played force in the game. This is because the troops are generally individually effective, with above-average firepower, close-range combat ability and baroque powered armour. Their popularity is also due to the fact they come in the starter box sets for the game.

The Space Marines, also known as the Adeptus Astartes, are human beings altered by a combination of intensive gene therapy, surgical modifications, and hypnotic indoctrination. Space Marines are divided into Chapters, with approximately 1,000 members when the Chapter is at full strength. The Chaos Space Marines have unlimited maximum numbers, as they are divided into Legions, not Chapters. The Space Marines are humanity's finest warriors; super-elite troops who only participate in the most important engagements.

One could make a comparison between the Space Marines and various knightly orders in medieval Europe. For example, the Black Templars Chapter bears more than a passing resemblance to the Knights Templar.

The Space Marines have a large fanbase within the game community. They are tough individually, but relatively few can be fielded at once. They have a generally well-received back story. Quite a few of the more popular Chapters are close-combat oriented, as close combat can make or break a game in Warhammer 40,000 (enjoyment to some, a flaw to others).

Space Marine Induction, Genetic Modification, and Biology

The biology of a member of the Adeptus Astartes is vastly superior to that of a normal human. Effectively, their abilities are so superior to those of an average human that it warrants their title of 'superhuman'.

Gene-seed

The Gene-seed of an Adeptus Astartes Space Marine is the foreign genetic material responsible for most of his physical changes. Gene-seed is a rare and precious resource for the Space Marines; since they no longer posess the technology to create new gene-seed, it must be passed down from dying warriors. Gene-seed is ostensibly cultivated DNA from a Chapter Primarch. It is the essence of the Chapter and with it carries each Marine's characteristics; mental, physical, spiritual, martial, and fraternal. It is one of nineteen implants surgically installed into an Initiate. The Gene Seed creates a copy of itself during the maturation of the Space Marine, and the copy is removed for future use, and the original is then removed after death.

Gene-seed is vulnerable to degradation, which can manifest in various ways, like the flaws in the Blood Angels' gene-seed(the Black Rage and Red Thirst).

Induction

Different Space Marine Chapters have different ways of inducting recruits. Most are drawn from the Chapter's home world. This is often a Death world or a Feral World, due to the hardiness of the human population there. This ensures only the toughest of candidates, as survival on a Death world is a tooth and nail struggle. Out of this small percentage of candidates, even less are satisfactory recruits for the rigors of training and treatment one must undergo to become a full-fledged Brother-Marine. First and foremost, a Potential must be male, as the gene-seed and zygote are synchronized to male hormones. The three following requirements also apply:

  1. Recruits must be adolescents or very young adults, as the implants must be able to coordinate with natural growth hormones to stimulate various physiological features of a Space Marine.
  2. Much like a blood transfusion, there must be compatibility between the Recruit and the implants otherwise organ failure and subsequent death is inevitable.
  3. The mental state of a potential Marine must also be susceptible to the various training and psycho-conditioning regimes of the Chapter.

These three main criteria bar all except a minuscule percentage of people within the Imperium of Mankind from becoming Space Marines. If all tests prove successful, the Potential becomes a Neophyte. At this stage, implantation, psycho-conditioning, and physical training begin. Each step in this stage has its own dangers, ensuring that only the truly worthy become Space Marines. After several years of training, conditioning, and surgeries the Neophyte becomes an Initiate, undertakes his Rites of Fire, and joins the other Brother-Marines in the ranks.

Implantation

Nineteen organs are implanted in a Neophyte to further bolster his combat and survival ability should he live to become a Brother-Marine. Each implant has a high margin of catastrophic failure and so only a small number of Neophytes live to become Initiates.

  1. Secondary Heart - This is the first and least difficult implant to install. The Secondary Heart increases blood supply and pumping capacity and is capable of taking over entirely should the primary heart fail.
  2. Ossmudula - This implant strengthens the skeleton of a Space Marine. Two years after the surgery, the Marine's skeleton will be exponentially stronger; and the rib cage will be fused into a solid bone plate.
  3. Biscopea - Implanted into the chest cavity, this implant bolsters muscle growth throughout the Marine's body
  4. Haemastamen - Implanted into a main blood vessel, the Haemastamen alters the Marine's blood composition to carry oxygen and nutrients more efficiently.
  5. Larraman's Organ - This organ manufactures Larraman Cells. These serve the purpose of platelets, but act faster and more effectively. When a Marine is wounded, Larraman Cells are released, attached to leukocytes. At the site of the injury, they form scar tissue in a matter of seconds, effectively preventing massive blood loss and infection.
  6. Catalepsean Node - Implanted into the back of the brain, this implant allows a marine to not sleep, instead entering a four-hour, almost comatose trance where they "recharge". The longest any space marine has every been on active combat duty without rest is 319 hours by the Crimson Fists.
  7. Preomnor - The Preomnor is a decontamination chamber inside the chest cavity. It chemically analyzes ingested materials and neutralize toxins. The Preomnor enables the Marine to eat normally inedible substances and resist poisons.
  8. Omophagea - Implanted into the spinal cord, this organ is designed to absorb DNA related to experience or memory. This enables the Marine to gain information, in a survival or tactical sense, simply by eating an animal indigenous to an alien world or situation.
  9. Multi-lung - The multi-lung is a 'third' lung, able to absorb oxygen from environments poor in oxygen. Breathing is accomplished through a sphincter in the trachea. A similar muscle closes in toxic environments and oxygen is absorbed by filtering out the poisonous elements.
  10. Occulobe - Essentially, this organ enhances a Marine's eyesight, granting him exceptional vision and the ability to see normally in low-light environment.
  11. Lyman's Ear - This implant renders a Marine immune to dizziness and nausea(see Cochlea), and enables a Marine consciously filter out "white noise".
  12. Sus-an Membrane - This implant allows a Marine to enter a catatonic or "suspended animation" state. It can allow a mortally wounded Space Marine to survive his injuries, and bring the metabolism to a standstill. The longest recorded period of this state was Brother Silas Err of the Dark Angels for 567 years.
  13. Melanochrome - Linked to pigment cells in skin, this allows the Marine's skin to shield him from dangerous levels of radiation.
  14. Oolitic Kidney - This organ works in conjunction with the Preomnor, filtering blood to remove toxins.
  15. Neuroglottis - This organ allows a Marine to assess a wide variety of things simply by taste. From poisons to chemicals to animals, a Marine can even track its quarry by taste alone.
  16. Mucranoid - Altering sweat glands, this organ secretes an oily substance that coats the skin, protecting it from extreme temperatures and to some extent, vacuum environments.
  17. Betcher's Gland - Implanted into multiple locations inside a Marine's mouth, these glands transforms a Marine's saliva into corrosive, blinding acid.
  18. Progenoid Glands - Implanted into both the neck and chest cavity, these serve to collect and cultivate the gene-seed from a Space Marine's body, and to safeguard it for the continuity of a Chapter.
  19. The Black Carapace - The last and possibly most important of all implants, this neuroreactive material is implanted directly under the skin. After a few hours, the material hardens and interlinks with the Marine's own nervous system. Points are then cut into the Carapace which allows a Marine to directly interface with his Power Armor.

Space Marine Weapons and Equipment

As the most elite fighting organizations of the Imperium, Space Marine Chapters are equipped with some of the best weapons the Imperium has.

Boltguns

The standard weapon of the Space Marines is the boltgun, also known as a bolter. A bolter is a heavy gun that fires rocket-propelled rounds with mass-reactive explosive payloads. Bolters are made in both pistol and rifle form, as well as the machinegun-like heavy bolter. Terminator Armor is often equipped with a double-barreled storm bolter.

A standard bolt pistol is capable of housing around 30-40 rounds each round weighting 0.8kg and with a diameter of 1.2cm. The bolter is capable of storing 40-50 round which a a disadvantage to the Space Marine because he would need to reload more often.

Assault Cannons

Assault cannons are the miniguns of Warhammer 40K. They are identical to their modern equivalents in most respects, with the exception that they are far larger and thier bullets are capable of tearing through even the toughest armor.

Flamers

Flamers are flame throwers that use flammable adhesive gel fuels that spread in a wide area for maximum effect. They come in three forms; one-handed, two-handed and heavy flamers.

Lascannons

Unlike the Imperial Guard, the Space Marines don't make much use of laser weapons. The major exception to that rule is the Lascannon, a heavy laser weapon capable of melting holes in tanks with a single shot.

Plasma Weapons

The Space Marines make good use of the Imperium's temperamental plasma weapons, in pistol and rifle form. Heavy plasma cannons are also widely used, particularly by the Dark Angels Chapter. The Imperium's plasma weapons have poor cooling, and build up dangerous levels of heat with continuous operation.

Rocket Launchers

Rocket Launchers have a capacity to fire two types of missiles, krak and frag. Krak rockets are implosion-based warheads that can take out a single unit while frag rockets use a template and can thus take out multiple units. Rocket Launchers cannot be fired on the move.

Force Weapons

These powerful weapons are used by Librarians. They channel their Psyker Energies and emotions into the weapon for unimaginable devastation. Force weapons ranged from the Force Axe to the Force Swords that only high Librarians tend to use.

Power Armor

Possibly the most prominent feature of the Space Marines is their armor, a suit of ceramite plates with armored fiber bundles and servos that replicate the wearer's movements and enhances a Space Marine's already superhuman strength, as well as allows them to easily withstand fire than could kill a normal human.

Terminator Armor

Tactical Dreadnight ("Terminator") Armor was originally developed for boarding missions. It is the heaviest armor in any Imperial arsenal, is able to withstand tremendous punishment, and serves as a solid heavy-weapons platform in open-field combat. The First Company of each Space Marine Chapter uses Terminator armor extensively, and only those Marines who earn the crux terminatus are permitted to wear it.

Dreadnoughts

The greatest of Marines who fall, but do not die, in battle are often interred in Dreadnought Armor, a twenty-foot-tall walking tank, equipped with life-support systems to maintain the Marine indefinitely (at least one Dreadnought's occupant fell during the Horus Heresy and still lives in the 41st millennium; 10,000 years later) and an array of weapons. Like Terminator Armour, the Dreadnought is heavily-defended against frontal assaults.

Rhino

A fast troop transport, a Rhino can hold up to ten SpaceMarines. The Rhino generally mounts a single storm bolter and is lightly armored. The chasis of the Rhino is very versatile, and serves as the basis for other Space Marine vehicles.

Razorback

A Razorback is a variant of the Rhino chassis that sacrifices some troop capacity for additional firepower. Razorbacks are mounted with twin-linked heavy bolters or lascannons on a single turret on the chassis, and are excellent for adding firepower to smaller squads.

Predator

The Predator is heavily-armored Rhino variant that is used as a light tank, offering no space for transport. Armed with either an autocannon or twin-linked lascannons, it can also have heavy bolters or lascannons mounted on side mountings.

Whirlwind

Being a mobile force, the Space Marines have little need for artillery. However, when it is called for, they can utilize the Whirlwind, which is another Rhino variant armed with a long-range missile pod, and can bombard enemy positions in preparation for attack.

Vindicator

When attacking fortified positions, Space Marines use the Vindicator, which fills nearly the entire Rhino chassis with the massive, snub-nosed Demolisher Cannon, capable of blasting through the thickest walls. This weapon has proven so effective that the Iron Warriors Traitor Legion makes it a point to scavenge these for their own use whenever possible.

Land Speeder

Incredibly fast, the double-seat Land Speeder ground-effect vehicle is used to attack enemy fortifications and heavy weapons from the air. Although it is well-armed it has little armor and relies on speed and rapid strikes for protection. Variants include the Tornado, the Typhoon, and the Tempest.

Land Raider

The Land Raider is one of the most powerful tanks in the Imperium's army. It can transport troops into battle, carries enough weapons to blast it's way though nearly any defense, and has armor thick enough to withstand lascannon fire.

The Normal Land Raider pattern is called the Phobos. It carries a hull-mounted, twin-linked heavy bolter able to turn light infantry into sludge. It also carries two twin-linked "Godhammer" pattern Lascannons in its two side sponsons, making the Land Raider a extremely formidable foe for armored vehicles, able to stand up for itself in any fight against any other vehicle, and come out victorious almost all of the time.

Land Raiders are also equipped with a Machine Spirit, an Artificial Intelligence crafted by the Adeptus Mechanicus. The Machine Spirit is smart enough to move the tank and fight even without a crew. It enables the tank to move even when the crew has been stunned, and is able to operate one weapon of the player's choice, to shoot at a target. However, the artificial intelligence of the machine spirit is nothing compared to the battle-hardened Space Marine crew of the Land Raider, and as a result, accuracy suffers considerably.

Land Raiders were once used by all branches of the Imperium's armed forces, but after the Horus Heresy, their use was restricted to the Space Marines and the Inquisition. At first, Land Raiders have been used extensively both by the Space Marines and the Imperium. The popularity of this mighty war engine was so great, that a whole Forge World, the Anvilus 9, was entirely turned over to Land Raider production. But, with the beginning of the Horus Heresy, Anvilus 9 was overrun by renegade techpriests. Other Forge Worlds of the Imperium also ceased to function, either suffering the same fate as Anvilus 9, or detached itself from the side of the Emperor, leaving only a small number of loyalist Forge Worlds behind, and Land Raider production suddenly slowed to a trickle.

With the Horus' forces threatening to overrun Terra, the planet where the Emperor is stationed, the Emperor stated that all Land Raiders still at the loyalist side were to be reformed for exclusive use by the Space Marines, who were at the forefront of the fighting. Once the Horus Heresy has been crushed with the sacrifice of the Emperor, the decree of exclusive use remained in place, even after the ascension of the Emperor to the Golden Throne, as none dared to revoke His most holy commandments. Thus, the decree remained in place for the last ten thousand years, up to the present.

Land Raider Crusader

The Land Raider Crusader is nearly identical to the standard Land Raider, but is armed to provide short-ranged, anti-infantry suppourt. The Crusader was originally developed by the Black Templars Chapter, but was eventually authorized for use by other Chapters (whom, it should be noted, had already been using them for some time beforehand).

The Land Raider Crusader is armed with a hull-mounted twin-linked Assault Cannon turret, and sponson-mounted Hurricane Bolters (essentially six bolters linked together). It's also equipped with a Multi-Melta to burn through armored walls, and its front is studded with fragmentation launchers to assist the troops disembarking from its front ramp.

Space Marine Chapters

First Founding

The Space Marines were originally divided into 20 vast Legions, each Legion being based on genetic material from one of the original Primarchs. When the Primarchs were rediscovered during the Great Crusade, they became leader of the Legion based on them. During the Horus Heresy half of the Legions turned traitor.

Loyalists

These Legions remained loyal to the Emperor during the Horus Heresy. They were subsequently split up into smaller Chapters, one of which retained the name of the original Legion.

Name Primarch Homeworld Comments
Ultramarines Roboute Guilliman Macragge Most subsequent founding Chapters used Ultramarines gene-seed, almost wiped out by tyranids in the battle for Macragge
Blood Angels Sanguinius Baal They and their successor Chapters suffer from gene-seed flaws and The Blood Angels them selfs suffer from the threat of the Black Rage
Dark Angels Lion El'Jonson Caliban (Destroyed) Refer to themselves and their successors as the Unforgiven
Space Wolves Leman Russ Fenris Highly unorthodox in organization and tactics
Imperial Fists Rogal Dorn Terra Siege specialists
White Scars Jaghatai Khan Mundus Planus Mongol-based culture and fast-attack doctrines
Iron Hands Ferrus Manus Medusa Devotees of the Machine Cult. High incidence of cybernetic modifications to their bodies all new trainiees have the left hand removed and replaced with a cybernetic model.
Salamanders Vulkan Nocturne Technically-adept chapter with a preference for short-ranged combat, heat-based weaponry, and energized hammers
Raven Guard Corax Deliverance Specialize in hit-and-run assaults using jump packs

Traitors

These Legions sided with Horus and the forces of Chaos in the Horus Heresy. After their defeat they fled into the Eye of Terror becoming the Chaos Space Marines.

Name Primarch Homeworld Comments
Lunar Wolves Horus Cthonia Renamed Sons of Horus, after Horus’ death they became the Black Legion
Night Lords Konrad Curze/Night Haunter Nostramo Specialise in terror and atrocities
Word Bearers Lorgar Colchis Only Legion with Chaplains; strongly religious in mindset
Alpha Legion Alpharius Unknown Subtlety and covert ops are this Legion's forte; adopted hydra as their motif
Emperor's Children Fulgrim Chemos Devotees of Slaanesh
Iron Warriors Perturabo Olympia Siege and trench warfare specialists
World Eaters Angron Unknown Devolved into mindless bloodthirsty fanatics post-Heresy; chosen-ones of Khorne
Death Guard Mortarion Barbarus Plague-ridden devotees of Nurgle
Thousand Sons Magnus the Red Prospero Sorcerors of Tzeentch

Note - the Traitor Legions' homeworlds were later destroyed.

Unknown

There are two other First Founding Legions, of which all records have apparently been lost or destroyed. These are thought to have been intentionally left unknown by the Warhammer 40,000 developers and are currently reserved for later use. A popular misconception among 40K fans is that the Grey Knights Chapter and Legion of the Damned are the two missing First Founding Legions. In fact, the Grey Knights originated from the Second Founding (though the origins of their gene-seed are unknown), and the Legion of the Damned are from the famous Cursed Founding. Specifics on the Cursed Founding have been lost in the Imperium's history, as it followed closely behind the disastrous Age of Apostasy.

Later Foundings

After the Horus Heresy, it was determined that the Legions were too powerful to be controlled by one man, and they were broken up into Chapters. Subsequently, the Imperium created new Chapters of Space Marines, using gene-seed sampled from existing ones. Many of these successor Chapters still keep the memory of their progenitor Legion or Chapter, and maintain their methods of operation and battle.

Examples of Successor Chapters include:

  • Angels of Vengeance
  • Astral Claws: a Chapter led into Chaos by their traitorous Chapter Master, igniting the Badab War. They currently form a group of rebel Marines known as the Red Corsairs, who ruthlessly attack supply lines in the name of Chaos.
  • Black Templars
  • Blood Ravens
  • Crimson Fists
  • Deathwatch
  • Doom Eagles
  • Executioners
  • Fire Hawks
  • Flesh Tearers
  • Howling Griffons
  • Lamenters: an unfortunate Chapter who took part, on the losing side, in the Badab War, before being devastated by the Tyranids.
  • Mantis Legion
  • Marines Errant
  • Raptors: Successors of the Raven Guard who specialize in jungle warfare.
  • Relictors: a radical Chapter that utilises the weapons of Chaos to destroy the minions of Chaos themselves. This brings them into conflict with the Inquisition but ironically also finds them favour with radical Inquisitors.
  • Scythes of the Emperor: a Chapter of Space Marines who were all but destroyed by the Tyranids. Their armor was black and yellow, with a yellow scythe symbol on the shoulder panels.
  • Sons of Guilliman: A Chapter that originally was a part of the Ultramarines.
  • Scions of Dorn
  • Steel Cobras
  • Storm Lords
  • Subjugators
  • Vultures
  • White Consuls
