ADEPTUS ASTARTES

CANON: VERIFIED · Codex: Space Marines

The Imperium's foremost defenders: baseline men rebuilt into superhuman soldiers through implanted organs, psychic conditioning and relentless drilling, then sealed in ancient powered armour. They shrug off wounds and sickness that would kill an ordinary person, fight as the God-Emperor's shock troops, and by creed feel no fear.
