THANK YOU
A big thank you has to go to the EPIC UK committee; without their enthusiasm, for a game that they love,
this army book wouldn’t be a reality. The wish and will to improve a fantastic tournament wargame, within the
UK, has been their only payment.
A big thank you also has to go to Games Workshop; without their imagination, creativeness and support this
game would not be around today. A special thank you has to go to Jervis Johnson and all the Fanatic team,
both past and present.
Also a big thank you has to go to all the independent EPIC developers, especially the army developers on
the Tactical Command internet forum. Without their ideas some of the developments within this book would
not be a reality.

CODEX ASTARTES SPACE MARINE SPECIAL RULES
SPACE MARINE TRANSPORT
The Space Marines are a highly mobile army. Because of this, the points cost of a detachment usually
includes enough Rhino transport vehicles to transport it and any upgrades that have been taken. The
number of Rhinos will always be the minimum needed to carry the formation; you can’t take extras along to
cover any losses!
To work out a formation’s transport
 Add any infantry upgrades to the formation.

 Add Land Raiders to the formation.
 Add Razorbacks to the formation, up to the number of Infantry units not transportable by Land Raiders.
 If there are still infantry units in the formation without transport add the minimum number of Rhinos
required for all units in the formation to be transported.
Note that many formations don’t receive Rhinos, usually because they can’t fit into them. Detachments that
come with Rhinos will be noted as having ‘plus transport’ in the units section of the army list.
Also note that you don’t have to take Rhinos if you don’t want to. If you’d rather field the formation on foot
instead, so it can act as a garrison for example, or be transported in a Thunderhawk Gunship, then you may
do so.
In addition, you may choose to replace a detachment’s Rhinos with Drop Pods. If you do this then the
detachment will enter play in a Drop Pod using the rules for planetfall (see the EPIC Armageddon Rulebook,
section 4.4). Note that if you choose to do this you will also require at least one Space Marine Strike Cruiser
or Battle Barge to deploy the Drop Pods from.
SUPERIOR TACTICS
All Space Marine armies are highly flexible and tactical. Before each tournament game the Space Marine
player may choose which formations with the ‘plus transport’ aspect are deployed in Rhinos, Drop Pods or
on foot. If the formation has any units unable to deploy in Drop Pods then that option cannot be selected.
THEY SHALL KNOW NO FEAR
Space Marines are renowned for their tenacity and bravery. This is represented by the following rules:
 It takes two blast markers to suppress a Space Marine unit or kill a unit in a broken formation (ignore any
leftover blast markers).
 Space Marine formations are only broken when they have two blast markers per unit in the formation.
 Space Marine formations count as having half their number of blast markers in assault resolution
(rounding down to a minimum of one blast marker).
 Halve the number of hits suffered by a Space Marine formation that loses an assault, rounding down in
favour of the Space Marines.
 When a broken Space Marine formation rallies it receives a number of blast markers equal to the number
of units remaining in the formation, rather than half this number.
 Space Marine units with the Leader special ability remove two blast markers instead of one.

SPACE MARINE DROP POD

n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a

Deathwind 15cm AP5+/AT5+ See special rules below
Notes: Planetfall, Transport (may carry one formation that includes only: Devastator, Tactical, Wolf Guard and Dreadnought units). Place the Drop Pod marker using the
Planetfall rules (4.4) although the Drop Pod is a marker it counts as a unit for the purposes of resolving Planetfall location. After the Drop Pod marker lands its Deathwind
attacks all enemy units within 15cms of the centre of the Drop Pod. Each enemy formation attacked receives a blast marker for coming under fire and an extra blast marker
for each casualty. Then any troops carried in the Drop Pod must disembark (this can trigger overwatch as normal) completely within 15cms of the centre of the Drop Pod, in
coherency and outside an enemy zone of control. The Drop Pod is not a unit but a marker, it does not count for formation coherency purposes and cannot be used for
claiming crossfire or to hold or dispute objectives, it also does not have a zone of control.
If multiple formations are using Drop Pods, place all the Drop Pod markers at the pre recorded co-ordinates using the Planetfall rules (including resolving scatter). Once all
the markers have been placed, resolve all Deathwind attacks simultaneously against enemy formations within range of any Drop Pod markers. After all Deathwind attacks
have been resolved place blast markers on enemy formations. Finally disembark all transported formations, following the rules above.

IMPERIAL ALLIES – TITAN LEGION SUPPORT
VOID SHIELDS
Imperial Titans are protected by void shield generators. The number of void shields each titan has is noted
on the titan’s datasheet.
Each void shield will automatically stop one point of damage and then go down. Do not make armour saves
for damage stopped by void shields, or allocate Blast markers. Once all of the shields have been knocked
down, the titan may be damaged normally and you may make saving throws against any hits that are scored.
Hits from close combat ignore void shields but units using their firefight values must first knock down any
shields before they can damage the Titan.
Void shields that have been knocked down can be repaired. Each Titan can repair one downed void shield in
the end phase of each turn. In addition, if a Titan regroups it can use the dice roll to either repair void shields
or remove Blast markers (e.g. if you rolled a 2 you could repair 2 shields, remove 2 blast makers, or repair 1
shield and remove 1 Blast marker).

Warlord, on a roll of 2-3 the Warlord suffers one more point of damage, and on a roll of 4-6 the reactor is repaired and will cause no further trouble. If the reactor explodes, any
units within 5cm of the Warlord will be hit on a D6 roll of 4+.

Critical Hit Effect: Staggering blow, the Warhound immediately staggers a full D6cm in a random direction (move as ‘barge’ see 3.3.1, ignore ZOC, all units count as part of
target formation) and takes an additional point of damage. If this move takes the Warhound into impassable terrain or another unit it can’t move over then it stops immediately
and is destroyed. Any units moved over or contacted take a hit on a D6 roll of 6.

THE GREAT SECRET
Every time the Dark Angels enter battle they do so with a great secret. During the Horus Heresy some Dark
Angels fought for the powers of Chaos (these traitors are called the Fallen). To this day the remaining faithful
Dark Angels hide this secret in fear that, if uncovered, they might be hunted by other Space Marine
Chapters.
Because of this a Dark Angels army will never ally itself with any forces of the Imperium.

making use of the garrison rules. You can only choose to ignore this if the detachment is instead to be
deployed from a Thunderhawk Gunship or by Drop Pods (Note a spaceship is required to deploy by Drop
Pods).
In addition if any formation chooses to deploy by Drop Pods, then every eligible formation in the army must
also be deployed by Drop Pods, up to the transport capacity of any purchased spacecraft.

SPACE WOLVES SPECIAL RULES
SPACE WOLVES TRANSPORT
The Space Wolves are a highly mobile army. Because of this, the points cost of a detachment usually includes
enough Rhino transport vehicles to transport it and any upgrades that have been taken. The number of Rhinos will
always be the minimum needed to carry the formation; you can’t take extras along to cover any losses!

 Add Land Raiders to the formation, these must be used to transport any Wolf Guard units first.
 Add Razorbacks to the formation, up to the number of Infantry units not transported by Land Raiders.
 If there are still infantry units in the formation without transport add the minimum number of Rhinos required for
all units other than Wolf Guard in the formation to be transported.
Note that many formations don’t receive Rhinos, usually because they can’t fit into them. Detachments that come
with Rhinos will be noted as having ‘plus transport’ in the units section of the army list.
Also note that you don’t have to take Rhinos if you don’t want to. If you’d rather field the formation on foot instead,
so it can act as a garrison for example, or be transported in a Thunderhawk Gunship, then you may do so.
In addition, you may choose to replace a detachment’s Rhinos with Drop Pods. If you do this then the detachment
will enter play in a Drop Pod using the rules for planetfall (see the EPIC Armageddon Rulebook, section 4.4). Note
that if you choose to do this you will also require at least one Strike Cruiser or Battle Barge to deploy the Drop Pods
from.

IMPERIAL FISTS SPECIAL RULES
IMPERIAL FISTS TRANSPORT
The Imperial Fists are a highly mobile army. Because of this, the points cost of a detachment usually includes enough Rhino transport
vehicles to transport it and any upgrades that have been taken. The number of Rhinos will always be the minimum needed to carry the
formation; you can’t take extras along to cover any losses!

 Add Land Raiders (of any type) to the formation.
 Add Razorbacks to the formation, up to the number of Infantry units not transported by Land Raiders.
 If there are still infantry units in the formation without transport add the minimum number of Rhinos required for all units in the
formation to be transported.
Note that many formations don’t receive Rhinos, usually because they can’t fit into them. Detachments that come with Rhinos will be
noted as having ‘plus transport’ in the units section of the army list.
Also note that you don’t have to take Rhinos if you don’t want to. If you’d rather field the formation on foot instead, so it can act as a
garrison for example, then you may do so.
Imperial Fists Devastator and Tactical detachments may replace their ‘plus transport’ option with up to two Bunkers and 50cm x 2.5cm of
Trenches or Minefields for free.
SUPERIOR TACTICS
See page 3.
See page 3. All Imperial Fists special units apart from Hyperios and Tarantula platforms are Space Marines.
FORTIFIED POSITIONS
Fortified positions must be set up after objectives, but before spacecraft and garrisons are deployed. The fortified positions may be set up
anywhere a vehicle may deploy in the Imperial Fists half of the table. You may split up a set of fortified positions as desired (although no
section of trenches or minefield may be smaller than 5cm x 2.5cm), as long as the rules for formation coherency are adhered to. For
example, you could split up trenches into several lines, as long as there are 5cm ‘links’ between the different parts of the position. These
fortified positions count as having a move of zero. Fortified positions may not be transported.
Some formations in the army may come with a set of fortified positions; these fortifications are set up at the same time as all other
fortifications in the army and follow the same rules. Once deployed these fortifications are terrain and are no longer a part of the
formation.
Once fortified positions are set up they may be used by any unit, not just the units they were purchased for. They may also be captured
and used by enemy units.
SIEGE MASTERS
Imperial Fists infantry and vehicles may re-roll failed dangerous terrain tests when traversing minefields. Imperial Fists infantry units
within trenches gain the first strike ability. Imperial Fists infantry units within bunkers replace the bunkers 3+ cover save with a 4+
reinforced armour cover save. An Imperial Fists army may start the game with up to three garrisoned formations on overwatch in the
tournament scenario.
AUTOMATA
Units with this rule have a very limited capacity to carry out independent actions. Unless they are part of a formation that includes other
units that do not have this rule the formation can only take Hold, Marshall, Sustained Fire and Overwatch actions and may only contest
objectives.
A formation does not receive a Blast marker when a unit with automata is destroyed; this includes the extra Blast marker from the first
casualty of a crossfire, and for units destroyed for being out of formation after a move. If one of these units is hit by a weapon with disrupt
it does not inflict a Blast marker. Finally, don't count these units that are lost in an assault when working out who has won the combat.

EPIC UK SPACE MARINES
WHAT, HOW AND WHY
So you’ve just finished reading through the new and updated EPIC UK Space Marine codex, however you
have some questions; what has EPIC UK done? How have we done it and why? Well this part of the army
book is here to help you out!
Below you will find out what we’ve done, how and why we did it. Have a read though this and find out what
was in the EPIC UK team’s head when we built and then updated each of the Space Marine army lists.
THE OVERALL PICTURE
For a while now EPIC tournament players have been asking for new army lists. So EPIC UK has risen to the
task and created its own army books for UK EPIC tournaments. However one issue pointed out was that
none of us had actually written an army book before; sure we all have tones of experience playing EPIC,
however we still hadn’t produced an army book!
So it was very clear from the start that we shouldn’t launch ourselves into a brand new army list straight
away, for example Tyranids or Tau. We should build up our experience by starting with the army lists already
approved for tournament play, and there was only one place to start … the Space Marines!
SPACE MARINE ARMY BOOK IS BORN
So Space Marines it is then! Before this release there were only two Space Marine army lists out, the generic
Codex Astartes and the White Scar army lists. It was very clear to us that additional army lists would be
needed but not too many.
Each individual army list had to have its own character, its own way of fighting, its own positives and
negatives but above all it had to be balanced.
Now at EPIC UK we believe that the Space Marine army lists were pretty much balanced before this product
was released. Okay a few changes had to be made but not a lot; because of this EPIC UK would mainly
focus on points changes.
UPDATED CHANGES
Over the last two years the Codex Astartes and four variant Black Templars, Blood Angels, Dark Angels and
White Scars army lists included in the original Space Marine codex have received considerable play testing.
This new version of the Space Marine codex includes a number of revisions derived from this experience. All
of these updates are included in this revised What, How and Why section.
CODEX ASTARTES
The generic army list didn’t take long. Firstly all approved changes from the EPIC errata were added and
then we looked into what rules and points cost changes we wanted to make.
The ever popular Terminator formation went up to 350 points and we also increased the cost of single
Warhounds to 275 points. These two units seem to be the core of tournament Space Marine armies and
were deemed too good for their points cost.
After these we focused on a number of formations and units that had historically underperformed or even
disappeared from tournament play.
40
First was the attack bike, we wanted to make sure that this could be a feature in future army lists. We
increased its speed to 35cm (same as a bike stand) and more importantly allowed it to be transported by
Thunderhawks.
Next was the Vindicator. Firstly we increase its movement up to 25cm and then we reduced the cost of the
formation to 250 points. We also reduced the points of the Vindicator as an upgrade (to 50 points each).
Predator and Land Raider formations have both received a point reduction down to 350 points for Land
Raiders and 275 points for Predators, the Land Raider upgrade has also been reduced to 75 points each.
The Finally the Marauder Bomber formation has come down in cost to 250 points.
This was pretty much all the changes to the Codex Space Marine army list; we wanted to allow people to
play the Space Marine army as they had always done. However we wanted to make formations, that were
previously over shadowed, a valid option.
UPDATED CODEX ASTARTES
The rounding down of blast markers in an engagement of the updated ‘They Shall Know No Fear’ rule was
found to be overly complicated and slightly too powerful. It has been revised to give a minimum of one blast
marker.
The Warhound Titan has also proven a very powerful choice even at a higher points cost. To address this, its
critical hit effect has been made more dangerous (and less frustrating to an opponent) with the addition of a
point of damage.
The underpowered Land Raider and Predator Destructor have both received a fire fight boost to 4+ and the
Predator Destructor has also received a cost reduction. This has necessitated some restructuring of the
original Predator formation with the Annihilator moved to an upgrade option. In addition the Vindicator has
received a small boost with the addition of Walker to represent its dozer blade.
The Land Speeder Tornado and Typhoon upgrade options have also been made cheaper, reduced to a
straight swap for Tornados and 10 points for each Typhoon.
Finally the Marauder Bomber has received a boost to its bombs and the almost never seen Space Marine
scout sniper upgrade has also been improved to effect the whole formation.
BLACK TEMPLARS
The first of the new Space Marine army lists. The Black Templars are an army crusading across the stars.
Therefore life onboard a spacecraft is second nature to the Black Templars. The Black Templars unique style
of fighting would involve using rapid deployment from space and transporter aircraft. They would have more
options to transport Space Marine formations into battle using aircraft than other Space Marine chapters.
Firstly because the Black Templars crusade across the universe in spacecraft, imperial allies were lost. This
created a massive negative for the army so positives needed to be added.
The first new unit for the Black Templars is the Emperor’s Champion. Although only a single Emperor’s
Champion can be included in an army. With both the fearless and inspiring (meaning that one formation in a
Black Templar army can have two inspiring characters) abilities he is very powerful.
Secondly Neophytes were added as an upgrade option for tactical formations as a cheap way to bolster their
numbers. As described in Black Templar background, Neophytes don’t fight as separate formations like
scouts in other Space Marine armies; instead they fight alongside Tactical Marines.
The third new unit added was the Land Raider Crusader. This tank sacrifices its long range anti-tank
capability for lethal short range support weapons and a greater transport capacity. With the ability to deploy
up to three units from one land Raider Crusader it makes them a very versatile transport option, and with 2
Fire Fight 4+ attacks they are deadly in an engagement.
41
The final new unit is the Thunderhawk Transporter. The whole point of this new unit is to allow a Black
Templar player to fly in mobile formations for close support.
Finally the last change is the removal of the Whirlwind formation which doesn’t match the Black Templar
style of play.
UPDATED BLACK TEMPLARS
Black Templars have proven a popular and successful tournament army with an extremely aggressive play
style, because of this only a few updated changes have been made to the list, although all relevant changes
from the Codex Astartes list have been included.
The twin assault cannon on the Land Raider Crusader has been changed to AP4+/AT4+ to bring it in line
with the standard for twin linked weapons. The option to add two Hunters to a formation at slightly reduced
cost has also been added to the list to make up for the loss of Imperial Navy allies.
Finally the Thunderhawk Transporter has been improved with better armour and weapons to be a more
viable option compared to Landing Craft.
BLOOD ANGELS
The idea behind the Blood Angel army was simple; its main advantage would be engaging in close combat;
however getting there would be a little trickier. The first draft of the Blood Angel list had all the formations,
within the Codex Astartes Space Marine army list, and more; therefore the Blood Angels had positives but no
negatives.
The first negative added was the removal of the Devastator formation. We realise that Blood Angels can
have Devastators in the background and other game systems, however it was clear that they didn’t fit into
the overall Blood Angel theme of engaging in close combat that we wanted to emphasise. Secondly the
Assault formation was increased to 6 stands. While this gives some advantages it also gives a big
disadvantage because you can only fit one formation into a Thunderhawk.
The first unit added, the Death Company went through many revisions. The final version we feel is correctly
balanced; on the one hand they have 2 attacks in close combat on a 3+, they are fearless and can have
jump packs and a Chaplain. However, if they have the Chaplain and jump packs, the formation is 400 points
for 4 stands.
The second unit we changed was the Dreadnought. Again, just like the Devastators, the heavy firepower
Dreadnought didn’t fit with the Blood Angel theme and so this Dreadnought was removed. In its place we
have added a Furioso Dreadnought; equipped with 2 power fists. This Dreadnought is much more useful in
close combat but sacrifices some fire fight and shooting.
The final new unit we added was the Baal Predator. This is a monster against infantry either shooting
(potentially 12 × AP3+ shots if sustaining) or in a fire fight. However it has to get within 15cm to have any
impact, it’s a ‘glass hammer’ formation; very powerful if the Blood Angel player is allowed to use them as
they want, but fragile and short ranged.
UPDATED BLOOD ANGELS
All relevant Codex Astartes updates have been integrated into the list. In addition the Baal Predator has
been improved with its Twin Assault Cannon going to AP4+/AT4+ and its fire fight value increasing to 3+.
The Baal Predator formation has also received the Hunter and Vindicator upgrade options.
The Death Company have also received a characterful Dreadnought upgrade option.

DARK ANGELS
It was clear from the start that the Dark Angels shouldn’t have any imperial allies (because of their dark
secret) and so, just like the Black Templars, we had to find positives to balance out the negatives.
New formations where added to the army to represent the Ravenwing. A large eight stand fast attack option
composed of Attack Bikes, Bikes and Land Speeders with each stand getting a 6+ invulnerable (Jink!) save.
Ravenwing Bike units also received a teleport homer; this little device allows Deathwing Terminators to re-
roll their teleporting dice when landing within 15cm of a bike stand. This gives the Dark Angels their own
unique style of fighting and fits well with the background of the Dark Angels (i.e. the Ravenwing locate the
enemy and then the Deathwing teleport in to kill the enemy).
The next change was with the Devastator formation. Dark Angels prefer to use Plasma Cannons and so the
normal missile launcher was replaced; however during testing we found that the Plasma Cannon upgrade
was too good for a 250 point unit and so, the price of the Dark Angel Devastator formation was increased.
UPDATED DARK ANGELS
Alongside the relevant Codex Astartes updates that have been integrated into the list. The generally
perceived as underpowered Dark Angel list has received a number of changes.
Firstly the Deathwing Terminators have received a small boost to distinguish them from normal Terminators
with the ability to remove an additional blast marker when rallying or regrouping.
The composition of the Ravenwing formation has been altered to four Ravenwing Bikes and four Ravenwing
Land Speeders at a reduced cost of 350 points to allow a large formation that can be garrisoned. In addition
a new Ravenwing Support formation consisting of Tornado Land Speeders has been added to the list.
The Dark Angel Devastators have been reduced in cost to 275 points and received a boost to their fire fight
up to 3+. In addition the formation has received the Hunter upgrade option.
Finally the option to add two Hunters to a formation at a slightly reduced cost has been added to the list to
make up for the loss of Imperial Navy allies.
WHITE SCARS
The White Scars had the smallest amount of changes out of all the specialist Space Marine armies. Apart
from the changes in the generic list, being incorporated into the White Scar list, not a lot else has changed.
The Terminator with Land Raider formation is cheaper than in the generic lists; however this formation has
always been cheaper.
UPDATED WHITE SCARS
Other than relevant changes integrated from the Codex Astartes update no other changes have been made
to the White Scar list.
SPACE WOLVES
A popular army with a distinct style it was decided to include the option to field the Space Wolves in
tournament play.
This list is based on the NetEA Space Wolves army list and so special thanks must be given to all the NetEA
Space Marine play testers on the tactical command forums which can be found at
http://www.taccmd.tacticalwargames.net/index.php and to Matt Dobbs for his work.
Most changes made to the list are cosmetic in nature and designed to simplify the list for tournament play.

IMPERIAL FISTS
A popular army with a distinct style it was decided to include the option to field the Imperial Fists in
tournament play.
This list is based on the NetEA Imperial Fists army list and so special thanks must be given to all the NetEA
Space Marine play testers on the tactical command forums which can be found at
http://www.taccmd.tacticalwargames.net/index.php and to Simon Holyoake for his work.
Most changes made to the list are cosmetic in nature and designed to simplify the list for tournament play.
FURTHER SPACE MARINES CODEX UPDATES
The addition of the Space Wolves list to the core Space Marines Codex has presented an opportunity to
amend the other lists to a very minor degree. To this end a small number of changes have been
implemented to further balance the lists based on tournament experiences since the last review.
A number of formations have proven underpowered and have received small points drops, these include
White Scars Bike and Dark Angel Ravenwing detachments, Dark Angel Devastator detachments, Black
Templar Thunderhawk Transporters and Blood Angel Baal Predators detachments.
Additionally the Black Templar and Dark Angel armies have received the addition of specialised fighter
aircraft in the form of a Black Templar Stormtalon and Dark Angel Ravenwing Nephilim to help make up
for the lack of Imperial Navy and Titan options.
Finally Thunderhawk Gunships have been restricted in all the lists and Dark Angel Ravenwing Nephilim
have received a points increase for balance reasons.
Well I hope this answers your questions of What, How and Why. If not please send the EPIC UK team an
email and we will try to answer any queries you may have.
Thank you
