Eighteen-foot warriors in ceramite armour, ten thousand years on the line, and a paintjob ten thousand painters have argued over. The Imperium's first answer to every dark horizon.
Ten thousand years of war, every chapter you can name, and a hundred more you can't. Marines are the front line of the Imperium — and the front line of most painters' starting collections. From Salamanders to Raven Guard, from a Combat Patrol on Saturday morning to a two-thousand-point army that took eighteen months to finish, we stock what you need, we know how to paint it, and we'll be the first to tell you when you don't need the new thing yet.
Four ways into the chapter house. Pick by where you are, not by what's loudest on the shelf.

Picks rotate each fortnight. These are the four currently on the bench.
Three steps, one weekend each. Walk this path and you'll have a painted army on the table before next quarter's release.
