Warhammer 40K - Space Marine Rulebook (1st Edition)

The original Space Marine rulebook © 1989, written by Jervis Johnson and Graeme Davis.

The Background relates a brief history of the Imperium and the beginnings of the terrible civil war known as the Horus Heresy which for the first time pitted Marine against fellow Marine.

The Vehicle Rules give you everything you need to know for battles between armoured vehicles, allowing you to recreate the great armour battles of the Horus Heresy.

The Infantry Rules give you all the necessary information for fighting infantry battles, as well as mixed battles involving both infantry and armour.

The Advanced Game gives you various rule expansions to try once you're familiar with the main game rules. These include elite detachments, heroic actions by commanders and off-table support. This section also includes full rules for combining this game with Adeptus Titanicus, to fight epic battles with infantry, armour and Titans.

Each section also includes ready-to-play battle scenarios, recreating the greatest conflicts of the Heresy.
