Genetically modified and put through the most rigorous tests in the Imperium, the Space Marines are humanity’s greatest defenders, fighting to protect the Imperium from the threats of Chaos and the evil that lurks in the galaxy.
The Space Marines can be divided into various legions, such as the Space Wolves and the famed Ultramarines. Although these legions initially fought for the same cause, they remain largely fractured due to various legions' betrayal of the Emperor in the name of Chaos. Throughout theWarhammerfranchise, players can play as different variations of Space Marines, each with their own strong suit.

The Imperium’s greatest weapon, theGrey Knights, was created by the Emperor of Mankind after the events of the Horus Heracy. A secretive but elite legion of Space Marines, the Grey Knights were specifically made to face down the armies of Chaos.
These Space Marines have unique psyker abilities and expert combat proficiency, wielding powerful weapons to defeat their enemies. Although the Grey Knights do not have a Primaris version, they are still incredibly powerful. They are one of the strongest warriors in theWarhammer40kuniverse, specially assigned to defeat the most evil warriors.
Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate - Daemonhuntersfeatures Grey Knights in all their glory, with players controlling the Space Marines in tactical RPG gameplay to fight the forces of god Nurgle and stop a plague from consuming the galaxy.
InWarhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, players pick back up with the series' protagonist, Lieutenant Titus, as he fights the evil forces of theWarhammer40kuniverse. This version of Titus has been demoted from the rank of captain due to suspected heretical Ultramarines in his chapter and tortured for the truth.
In the firstSpace Marinegame, Titus is a mere firstborn marine, smaller in size and far less powerful than he appears in the sequel. InSpace Marine 2, Titus dons the new Primaris Space Marine armor, which grants him a couple of extra feet in height, vastly superior strength, and better dexterity in the face of danger.
Instructed for creation by Ultramarine Primarch Roboute Guilliman, thePrimaris Ultramarinesare superior warriors in every way, defending the Imperium against the forces of Chaos and other evils. Lieutenant Titus gets this significant upgrade inSpace Marine 2, with notable enhancements in the power that players can wield.
