Space Marine followed the [[Adeptus Titanicus (Game)|Adeptus Titanicus game]] (1988) (both could be played as stand alone or combined games), adding infantry and vehicles to the Titan vs Titan system. Both games were replaced by Warhammer Epic 40,000 which worked at the same scales but had all new mechanics. Space Marine consisted of two editions, both sold as box sets which contained rules, scenery and enough miniatures for two armies.

Targetdrone.gif This article is about the 1989 miniatures game. For other uses of Space Marine, see Space Marine (disambiguation).

Space Marine is an out of production war game set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, using Epic-scale miniatures for much larger scale battles.[Needs Citation]

Background

Space Marine enables players to re-enact battles in the dark future of the 41st Millennium (respectively the Horus Heresy). Due to the smaller scale of the actual miniatures, it is possible to field much larger scale battles than Warhammer 40,000.

The Rules for troops in Adeptus Titanicus were first published in White Dwarf issue 110 as "Space Marine" They are listed as being writen by Jervis Johnson and Mike Brunton.

Space Marine followed the Adeptus Titanicus game (1988) (both could be played as stand alone or combined games), adding infantry and vehicles to the Titan vs Titan system. Both games were replaced by Warhammer Epic 40,000 which worked at the same scales but had all new mechanics. Space Marine consisted of two editions, both sold as box sets which contained rules, scenery and enough miniatures for two armies.
