| − | '''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]].

| − | 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.

The game could be combined with the previously published [[Adeptus Titanicus (game)|Adeptus Titanicus]] which featured [[Titan]]s, giant robots, in the same 6mm scale. [[Ork]] and [[Eldar]] models were also released, with rules for them in the [[Codex Titanicus (1st Edition)|Codex Titanicus]] expansion.
