'The Space Marines are the
most feared and respected of all of mankind's warriors. Standing over
seven feet tall, genetically engineered then extensively trained they
are the ultimate human fighting machine. Although relatively few in
number - a Chapter comprises around one thousand Space Marines -
their prowess and bravery means that they can defeat opponent who
outnumber them many times over.
Equipped with the best arms and armour the Imperium has to offer, the Space Marine armies are also extremely mobile, with transport that allows them to move swiftly to deal with an enemy threat, or to strike suddenly to sieze a vital strategic objective.
Space Marine tanks and other vehicles are well-armed and fast, allowing them to keep up with the swift-moving infantry, while Space Marine land speeder and bike formations excel at lightning raids and flank attacks.
The Space Marines' dedication and fearless devotion to their Chapter make them ideal defensive troops, their heavy armour and excellent training allowing them to take on seemingly impossible odds only to emerge battered but victorious.'
There are various different Chapters, four of which have Codexes (a book which describes them & their special rules), but since there are (in the 40K universe) over 1000 different chapters, it is perfectly permissable to create your own!!!
