Accompanying Notes
Started around 2012, this is the first army I tried out miniature dioramas for the basing. The dioramas keep things interesting from a modelling and painting perspective, and it’s as least as satisfying as painting the miniatures themselves. I learned a few leasons while creating these bases, and the painting is not as polished as my later Sisters of Battle, but it’ll do! I can’t remember what army list I was working to, but it’s certainly not a useable force as it stands now. I need to add a few more units and formations in the future.
Hunter
The Hunter is an anti-air tank based on the Rhino chassis. It has excellent range and is quite accurate. Hunters are essential if your army doesn’t have any form of air cover.
Dreadnought
Every Space Marine Dreadnought is a treasured relic, awoken during times of great need. These formidable units are used to provide heavy support to Marine formations, and are often best deployed via Drop Pod due to their slow movement speed.
Attack Bike
The Space Marine Attack Bike adds some firepower to the otherwise close combat orientated bike formation. It’s not unusual to see one of these mixed in with the standard bikes to provide flexibility.
Space Marine Bike
Space Marine Bikes make excellent flanking units. They are generally assault specialists, but the unit can be given some longer ranged firepower by adding one or more Attack Bikes.
Terminators
Space Marine Terminators are elite fighting units capable of taking down most enemy units. They are one of the best counters to super heavy vehicles and Titans the Space Marine player can field.
Tactical Marines
Tactical Space Marines are the backbone of any army. They are excellent all-rounders, and can stay in the fight longer than troops belonging to other factions.
Space Marine Supreme Commander
The Space Marine Supreme Commander allows a player to re-role one initiative test per turn in Epic Armageddon. He should be protected and preferably not placed in an army’s most expensive formation, otherwise he becomes a greater target for opponents.
Space Marine Scouts
Space Marine Scouts are excellent for controlling territory and guarding more expensive units against assault.
