SPACE MARINES

The Space Marines of the Legiones Astartes are heroes

to a man. Selected from the strongest and most athletic
specimens in the Imperium, they are genetically

enhanced to superhuman levels and trained night and
day until they are engiiies of destruction made flesh.

Armed in the finest battle plate the Tech-Priests of

the Mechanicum can provide and bearing a powerful
boltgun that fires mass-reactive shells, a single Space

Marine is the equal of a platoon of lesser men. The

eighteen Legions that fight at the Emperor's command
are the sword and shield of Mankind itself. They are the

angels of death that roar down from the skies to bring

violent retribution to those who usurp Man's rightful

compliance with Imperial rule. With such dauntless

THE BOARD
The arcologies beneath Calth's surface are represented in the game by four double-sided 1)oard sections, which can be
combined in different ways to form the battlefield of the scenario you choose to play.

The board is divided into a number
of hexagonal spaces, which are
referred to throughout these rules as
`hexes'. Models from the same force
can share a hex (see Hex Capacity
on page lo for more details), but
models from opposing forces can
never share a hex.
