Space Marine

Space Marine box cover Hot on the heels from the launch of Adeptus Titanicus were numerous rules for vehicles, infantry for Imperials and Traitors. These rules paved the way for the release of Space Marine, a ruleset that is to infantry as the ruleset of Adeptus Titanicus is to Titans. It allowed massed battles of tanks and infantry in 6mm scale as well as rules on battling titans and infantry.

The rules themselves are the same as Adeptus Titanicus with allowances now made for infantry. Rules include detail on morale and small arms, occupying buildings and close combat/vehicle ramming. The rulebook itself is very detailed and follows on from Adeptus Titanicus with rich art and stories interspersed with the rules. The setting is again the Horus Heresy with the box set containing just Space Marine infantry, Land Raiders and Rhinos.
