Free Space Marine Chapters 10th Edition 40k Index Cards & Datasheets
Here are all the 10th edition 40k Space Marines Chapters index cards and datasheet rules, where dreams of galactic domination are printed on cardboard gold. There are a few chapters that prefer their own rules over Roboute Guilliman’s: the Dark Angels, Blood Angels, Space Wolves, Black Templars, and Deathwatch. They’ve finished shining their swords and loading their boltguns and are ready to join the fray.
Whether you’re a master who’s seen more battles than an Ork at a free-for-all or still figuring out how to roll dice without jinxing yourself, these index cards are your new best friends. We’ll also start with some of the generic Space Marines rules, so you can actually play the faction (since you need those rules as well)!

Space Wolves Space Marine Index Cards & Rules
Space Wolves aren’t your run-of-the-mill Space Marines. These guys are a pack of snarling, howling warriors who’d rather smash through their enemies than outmaneuver them. Their savage assaults are legendary, relying on sheer brute force to overwhelm opponents. Every swing of their axe or thrust of their spear is backed by the raw strength of a warrior who’s seen countless battles and emerged victorious.

40k Black Templars Datacards, Index, & Rules
The Black Templars aren’t your typical Space Marines who stick to the rigid guidelines of the Codex Astartes. No, these guys are the rebellious knights of the Imperium, refusing to be confined by the traditional rules and regulations. Their zealous nature fuels their endless crusades across the galaxy, driven by a burning desire to vanquish the enemies of the Emperor wherever they are found.

Deathwatch Datacards & Rules
The Deathwatch are the elite alien hunters of the Space Marine chapters, known for their adaptability and unmatched prowess against xenos threats. Unlike other chapters, the Deathwatch is a brotherhood of the most skilled warriors from various Space Marine chapters, united by their mission to defend the Imperium from alien menaces. They are currently part of the Imperial Agents codex, and they have a downloadable index as well.
Perfect Fit: Re-Formatted 10th Edition 40k Index Cards for Hassle-Free Printing
GW confirmed the actual size of the cards is 190 x 126mm, which is bigger than the existing AoS warscroll cards and is the actual print size of the free pdf downloads (roughly one per standard printer paper size). This means printing out your entire army of cards will take up all kinds of paper and ink and may be hard to carry around!
With over 100 cards for certain armies (we’re looking at you, Space Marines Index), the existing sizes from GW could make this worse than carrying codexes around! But there is a better way!
Magic-sized Index Cards for Warhammer 40k 10th Edition
This is the stack of just Imperial Guard cards! Imagine having to carry this around as one full page per unit; it would be just as big or more than the codex.
If you want to play something like Space Marines Index, this is about half the amount you would need. Not to mention, if you play a specific chapter, like Blood Angels, then it could get even crazier!
You’ll have to do a little work and cut them out yourself, but it’s much easier than what we currently have from Games Workshop. However, if you want them a little bit bigger, there is a set of downloads for that too.

10th Edition 40k Index Datacards Formatted Two Per Page
You can also make your own from the Warhammer 40k Datasheet PDF Converter, which lets you upload the index PDF and convert them to a printable two or four-page format.
If the Magic card size is too small, this two and four-per-page format is also available. While they won’t fit in sleeves as efficiently, they are bigger and easier to read.
This might not be a bad option if you’re playing one of the smaller armies. Something like the Chaos Knights index is condensed down to only ten pages. Click Here For the Two or Four Per Page!
