This article is about the the White Dwarf articles. For other uses of Index Astartes, see Index Astartes (disambiguation). |
Index Astartes is a column in the White Dwarf magazine, a series of books collecting those columns, and a fictive document in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. The article series focuses on the Space Marines, describing their background, genetics, individual Legions and Chapters, vehicles, etc. While most of the articles have been collected in the four books, some can be found only in White Dwarf.
