The 2023, 10th Edition Space Marines Codex guide boasts 93 datasheets, streamlined from the Index but maintaining an impressive array, accompanied by 12 full-fledged Detachments.
This offers seven unique combinations of your units, translating to seven distinct gameplay methodologies, each endowed with its own Enhancements, Stratagems, and Detachment-specific rules.
Six of these methodologies mirror the iconic doctrines of specific First Founding Chapters: the Ultramarines, Imperial Fists, Iron Hands, Salamanders, Raven Guard, and White Scars.
But notably, the Chapter designation does not constrain you. For instance, you can deploy an army of Outriders and execute a swift Stormlance Task Force assault without the necessity of a white paint scheme.
The seventh Detachment, known as the First Company Task Force, epitomizes the crème de la crème of any Chapter, underscored by its uniquely termed Detachment rule: Extremis-level Threat.
This guide is enriched with additional content, such as Crusade guidelines for attaining accolades and advancing your champions in Oathsworn Campaigns.
It’s also brimming with background lore about the Adeptus Astartes in the Era Indomitus and showcases a plethora of expertly painted figures.
A lavish Collector’s Edition is on the horizon, distinguished by exclusive cover artwork, golden-edged pages, and silver detailing. This release will also introduce a refreshed set of Datacards for Space Marines, encompassing the rules for every unit described in the Codex.
