Space Marines are among Humanity’s most formidable warriors, combining extraordinary numbers of enhancements with advanced battlefield technology. Although few compared to the countless enemies they face, each Space Marine is a genetically engineered super-soldier protected by powerful armour. They descend upon their foes with devastating speed, unleashing volleys of bolt fire and tearing through enemy lines with chainswords in the name of the Emperor.
