Space Marines are the noble knights of the Imperium, and as such serve as examples of order to the Imperium at large. Far apart from merely being a powerful military faction, they are also instrumental in keeping the Imperium together and functioning.

'''''[[Angry Marines]]''''' are something special. On some previously corrupted worlds, some people speak in awe about marines of red and yellow that fell from the skies aboard their rhinos, to brutally and noisily destroy the source of the evil on the planet. The Angry Marines Chapter is quite a puzzling one, as their behavior differs so much from what you usually expect from noble knights. They seem to be sent in when the threat to the people of a planet is extremely serious, and no other solution can be found at the moment. Their methods are rude, their temper short, and they allow no innocent civilian loss during their missions. EVER.

'''''Order Marines''''' are a splinter group of Space Marines that were created during the Horus Migration. After communication with the Order Gods, Warmaster Horus and several other Primarchs decided to travel into the Eye of Harmony to better communicate with their new allies. Since then, they have occasionally reappeared in order to help beleaguered worlds. The five largest Marine Legions are sighted across the galaxy, and their assistance has been invaluable to the Imperium. Mortarion's Legion, the Death Guard, are some of the finest battlefield medics that the Imperium has seen, while Angron's World Eaters serve as protectors of the weak and innocent. The Emperor's Children, led by Fulgrim, are often sighted alongside the Iron Warriors, helping to repair and rebuild cities after a battle. Despite being potent sorcerers on the battlefield, the Thousand Sons of Magnus take after their ally Tzeentch and help to coordinate battlefield tactics. Most respected of all is the White Legion, currently led by Abaddon the Rebuilder. This Legion is a coalition of many, and a single detachments have the ability to repel enemy attacks and rebuild cities.

'''''[[Quiet Marines]]''''' an Order Marine Chapter devoted to Slannesh Quiet Marines  are an monastic marine order which prefer the quiet solitude of peace, stillness, and silence of the natural universe. The majority of Quiet Marine fortress-chapels are usually located in the remote empty regions of interplanetary space due to their natural lack of any sound. Upon entering service into every Quiet Marine takes an absolute vow of lifetime silence in order to hear Slannesh's words of wisdom and lyrical poems of love and passion much easier. However this is to the exacerbation of many a ork warlord due to their inability to quickly communicate and shout orders to troops while on the battlefield.

'''''[[Pretty Marines]]''''' Led by their Chapter Master David Tennant. The Purty Marines as they are also jokingly known by many Orks try to further the Imperium of Man's ideal of aesthetic and physical beauty throughout the galaxy.

'''''[[Reasonable Marines]]''''' A military offshoot of the Ordos Explorates. Just as their name states, the Reasonable Marines are sent to various high in tension but moderate in conflict situations that require a more calm and reasonable solution. They are also sent by the Explorates to various uncharted xeno inhabited planets that at time require a military escort that must negotiate with the planets alien natives in a "reasonable" manner.

'''''[[Female Space Marines]]''''' Because we have the mental maturity of 12-year-olds. (Actually it is possible that Emps could have figured out how to make FSM if he hadn't been, you known, stuck on the Golden Toilet for ten fucking millennia, and also if there weren't more pressing matters like a little skirmish called the Horus Heresy.) Female space Marines are usually picked up in the standard format, and they aren't any different from their male counterparts , and any quirks will he those of their chapter. Angry FSM are angry as hell, Salamander FSM are cool as hell, and so on. As with their male counterparts, FSM are asexual.
