Space Marine tactics, legion by legion, are a vital core to understanding how to play Warhammer 40k. In the vast, tumultuous galaxy of Warhammer 40k, the Adeptus Astartes – better known as the Space Marines – stand as the Emperor's indomitable warriors. Each chapter of these genetically enhanced super-soldiers boasts distinct tactics and combat doctrines,…
The Space Marine heraldry has always intrigued me. There is so much depth to the world of Warhammer 40k, just in looking at the color of the helmet of a Blood Angel or the pattern of the greaves of a White Scar. From intricate miniature painting techniques to learning how to paint iconic symbols, this…
I've written before about the big hobby project that I'm working on. I had set a goal this year of building an Imperial Guard army, but the call of Xenos was too strong, and… my Imperial Guard army quickly became a converted Genestealer Cults army. For me, it's the best of both worlds. I can…
I am so excited to finally share the results of many months of labor: creating Kill Teams for all loyalist Space Marine Legions.

We've written at great length about the Space Marines before in terms of what their individual playstyles are, which are the best Space Marine Chapters, and what the original 20 (18) legions of the Space Marines were before the Horus Heresy. But what we haven't covered is what you need to know about the Space…
We've written before about what are the best Space Marine Chapters, but now we want to dive a little deeper and figure out what are the best Space Marine units? And we're not going go broadly this time--we're going to look at the Space Marines chapter-by-chapter to figure out the best unit that each of…

#12. Imperial Fists

What Are the Best Units in Warhammer 40k in 9th Edition?
The best units in Warhammer 40k--the title alone makes you think that this is an almost impossible question to ask. How do you quantify all of the best units in Warhammer 40k when there are not only so many units, but there are literally…
