Command the Emperor’s finest with Codex: Space Marines, the essential army book for collecting and playing Space Marines in Warhammer 40,000. Packed with faction lore, hobby guidance, army-building inspiration, and complete tabletop rules, this codex gives Space Marine players everything they need to build and lead the Angels of Death.

Space Marines are the Imperium’s transhuman champions, genetically enhanced warriors encased in advanced power armour and armed with some of Humanity’s most devastating weapons. Whether descending from orbit, advancing behind disciplined bolter fire, or crashing into melee with chainswords roaring, they bring overwhelming force to the battlefield.

This 232-page softcover Codex: Space Marines explores the history, organization, units, and campaigns of the Adeptus Astartes through detailed background material, artwork, photography, and unit descriptions. Hobbyists will also find guidance for building thematic armies, developing detachments, painting their collection, and creating appropriately themed battlefields.

For gameplay, the book includes complete Space Marines army rules, 15 Detachments, and 85 datasheets, giving you the tools needed to field a wide variety of Space Marine forces in Warhammer 40,000.
