Warhammer 40,000 is a tabletop game for two or more players where you command the forces of the imperium or one of its many enemies. This book provides you with all the rules you need to play, and guides you through collecting and painting your own army of Citadel miniatures.

Since its creation in the 1980s, Warhammer 40,000 has had six distinct versions or editions. With each edition, the Codex of each army has changed to reflect the new rules and units. Usually one codex is valid until a revision is made, so all codexes from the 5th, 4th and 3rd Editions of Warhammer 40,000 are still valid in the current, 6th Edition, unless a later version has replaced it. There have been instances of codices that are not 'standalone' known as 'mini-dexes'.

Codex: Space Marines is an expansion book. This edition was published for the first time in 2004, and is for the 4th edition of Warhammer 40,000. It was the first Codex released for that edition of the game. Codex: Space Marines is preceded by Codex: Space Marines (3rd Edition) and followed by Codex: Space Marines (5th Edition).

This was only the 2nd generic Space Marine codex, although it focused much more strongly on the Ultramarines Chapter than its predecessor. It covered the largest number of units for the Space Marines thus far, as it attempted to collate a number of units that had become more spread out as numbers of Space Marine sub-codexes had been released. It also attempted to tap into the Space Marines' imagery as 'warrior monks'.

"In the darkness of the forty-first millennium, mankind is assailed on all fronts by perfidious alliens, degenerate traitors and treacherous rebels. There is no escape from the horror and slaughter, the only alternative is to meet the threats and defeat them. This is the destiny of the Space Marines of the Adeptus Astartes, fearless champions of humanity and unforgiving crusaders against the enemies of the Emperor of Mankind.

Inside you will find:

ARMY LIST: The complete Space Marine army list, which allows you to choose your forces for a tabletop battle. Also included are special rules for selecting unique traits to personalise your own Chapter.
