40+ Space Marine Quotes That All Warhammer Fans Will Love

'Warhammer 40,000' was produced by Games Workshop as a miniature war game.

'Warhammer' as a video game has a tremendous following in the gaming industry. The game’s dark setting and the intricate storyline were the reason it was inducted into the Hall of Fame at the Origins Awards.

The Space Marine Squad, or Adeptus Astartes Squad, are one of the foremost defenders of humanity and the greatest of the emperor’s warriors. They are considered to be post-human, with superhuman abilities, having gone through rigorous training and genetic modification, and are programmed to kill. These modifications have stripped them of emotions, so they are not likely to feel love. Their dark nature and thirst for blood make them terrifying foes. They know no fear or pain and aren’t afraid to die!

Space Marines can be killed, but they don’t die so easily! Lasguns as rumors go, can’t kill a space marine, whereas units like the Exocrines, Heldrakes, and Ravagers can be used to kill them.
