Codex: Chaos Space Marines

Chaos Space Marines are genetically augmented transhumans who seek only to conquer, slaughter, and despoil. Clad in baroque power armour adorned with macabre trophies and infernal iconography, they battle alongside growling tanks, monstrous Daemon Engines, and throngs of cultist thralls. Whether possessed by daemons, wielding Chaos-tainted artefacts, or using warp sorcery, they pursue their Long War with pitiless brutality.

Codex: Chaos Space Marines is a vital resource for building and painting a Heretic Astartes collection and using them in Warhammer 40,000 games. It contains inspirational background material and art, rules for narrative Crusade campaigns, skirmish-sized Combat Patrol games, and matched play games. The book is filled with evocative photography and detailed examples of individual miniatures.

Inside this 160-page hardback book, you'll find:

• Background on the many hosts of Chaos Space Marines and notorious warlords of the Black Legion
• Artwork revealing the infernal soldiers at war, their daemonic allies, and gibbering cultists
• 48 datasheets detailing each unit's wargear, profiles, and abilities
• Eight themed Detachments with rules, Enhancements, and Stratagems
• Crusade rules for leading a warband to seek the Dark Gods' favour
• Combat Patrol rules for fast-paced skirmish games
