| The backbone of the Space Marine armies, these Tactical Squads are composed of fully-initiated Space Marines. They may be reinforced with more members and given a Sergeant, who is an elite unit that boosts morale in the squad. The average Space Marine is a genetically-engineered, physically perfect being, and is more than a match for an entire squad of Imperial guardsmen; however, due to the rigorous training program of the Space Marines, which usually kills a majority of recruits, they may only field limited numbers of these units. Devastator Squads may receive armor and power upgrades, and may also be upgraded with special weapons. | | The backbone of the Space Marine armies, these Tactical Squads are composed of fully-initiated Space Marines.

| These are regular Space Marines who have been given jump packs and can use these to easily move around the battlefield. Specializing in close combat, Assault Space Marines are armed with bolt pistols and [[Weapons of the Imperium (Warhammer 40,000)#Chainsword|chainswords]] and can take down lightly armored infantry easily. They will not last long against heavy firepower or armour, though. Like conventional Space Marines, Assault Marines have the option of being upgraded with a Sergeant. The player also has the option of upgrading their Assault Space Marines with Meltabombs, which do considerable damage against enemy armor and vehicles. | | These are regular Space Marines who have been given jump packs and can use these to easily move around the battlefield.
