Description

The Space Marine Legions of old are dead. In their place have risen thousands of Chapters, each unique, each carrying the legacy of their founders across the countless battlefields of the Imperium. The Flesh Tearers spill blood in a war of brutal attrition. The Emperor's Spears keep a tireless watch, where their brothers have fallen. The Consecrators search the dark places for relics, artefacts of power from the noble past. The Crimson Fists vow, with bloodied hands, to become Dorn's glorious vanguard once more.

These are the Imperium's bulwark against terror, the Emperor's Angels of Death. Forged from the genetic material of the demigod Primarchs, the Adeptus Astartes know no fear. It is by the might of these Space Marines that the growing darkness of the galaxy is held back.^[2]
