The Space Marines stride across alien worlds, their boltguns roaring a benediction to the Emperor as they kill. They are the finest warriors Mankind has ever known, and it is by their courage and skill that the Imperium of Man endures. When the enemies of Humanity rise up from the darkness of the void or crawl forth from the maelstrom of the Warp, the Adeptus Astartes are there to meet them. Organised into warrior Chapters, blessed with a lifetime of war and schooled in the ways of the Codex Astartes, each Space Marine battle-brother is a soldier without peer, a genetically engineered fighter that will do his duty to the Emperor no matter the cost.

Inside this digital Codex Supplement you will find:

A guide to Space Marine strike forces and Chapter organization, including strike forces unique to the Imperial Fists, Salamanders, Raven Guard, White Scars and Iron Hands, and the tank-based Anvil Strike Force, which is common to all Codex Chapters.

Datasheets for Cataphractii Terminators, Contemptor Dreadnoughts and Codex Chapter Formations, as well as new Detachments, Relics, Warlord Traits and Tactical Objectives.

Rules for four new Space Marine psychic disciplines to smite the Emperor?s foes: Librarius, Technomancy, Fulmination and Geokinesis.

Updated Altar of War missions for armies that include Space Marines.
