Space Marines

The Adeptus Astartes, more colloquially known as the Space Marines, are one of the main protagonist factions within Warhammer 40k. The Emperor of Mankind's revered angels, superhuman demigods of justice and might, they are the greatest humanity has to offer. They never waver and are unshakable in their faith and ideals. They are the elite warriors who do battle where others cannot, the merciless blade against the daemonic hordes of Chaos and all enemies of the Imperium of Man. 
They are the famous mascots of the franchise, and while originally beginning as the 20 Legions of the First Founding, have developed into countless smaller chapters over the ages. Their evil counterparts are the fallen Chaos Space Marines, their eternal sworn enemies.
