Warhammer 40,000 40k Codex: Space Marines (Hardback)
The 41st Millennium is an age of war and darkness. The Imperium is
assailed from all sides, but standing between civilisation and
annihilation is a warrior brotherhood. Forged through forgotten science
and strengthened by duty and training, they are the Angels of Death –
the Space Marines – and they were made for battle. By their heroics does
Humanity endure. They are few – there are but a thousand Chapters,
numbering a thousand each – yet through bravery, consummate skill and
unceasing dedication, they are sufficient. Space Marines launch
thunderbolt strikes into the heart of the foe, battling constantly
against overwhelming odds to ensure the continued survival of Mankind
itself.
