Space Marine
Fleets
“On
land, in the air and across the stars, my loyal sons shall always know
victory!” No
matter where you go, you cannot hide from the Emperor’s finest,
Adeptus Astartes, the Imperial Space marines. And now you can use these awesome
warriors in the vastness of space to vanquish the foes of the Imperium. The
rules provided for the space marine fleet really help to capture the
character of the army. A space marine fleet will usually only consist of
3 or 4 large ships and the rest of the fleet is made up of escorts.
There were originally only 2 ships released for the space marine fleet,
with the escorts from the Imperial fleet used to bulk out the rest of
the army (although the escorts are slightly different in terms of the
space marine’s rules) however, many new Space marine ships have been
released in Battlefleet gothic magazine 2 (as well as the new Necron
fleet list) although unfortunately I’ve been unable to get my hands on
it (someone bought all 4 copies from the Kingston store; you know who
you are, just hope i don’t ever find you). Anyway, when i do get a
copy i will inform all of you about the new space marine ships (and the
Necron ones), but until then I’ll just use those originally released
in the white dwarf. A
space marine fleet is quite a good starter army for a number of reasons.
Firstly it uses all the basic rules supplied in the Battlefleet gothic
rule book (unlike the Eldar who have more or less there whole own new
rules section) and all the special rules they do have are simple to
understand and use, no messing around with ponsy Eldar movement rules
and their own table (don’t get me wrong though i do like the Eldar
fleet, but only when I’m using them and they’re not being used
against me). With a Space Marine fleet it does exactly what it says on
the tin, i.e. blow large holes in other ships. Another
benefit of a space marine fleet is that they are very good when it comes
to boarding actions, as they add +2 to their boarding action roll, and
+1 to hit and run attacks.
