SPACE MARINE CHAPTERS

IT'S ALL IN THE NAME

What follows is a list of Space Marine Chapter names. Many of these you may have seen before, others are Chapters that have been mentioned possibly once or twice in the distant past, while some are totally new.

Space Marine Chapters are much like Knightly Orders, and their names often reflect this. Reference can also be made to their status as the defenders of Mankind, or the fact that they consider themselves the ritual Sons of the Emperor. A Chapter's name might embody the character of the Chapter (such as the Blood Drinkers), the world of their founding (Praetors of Orpheus) or the Legion gene-seed from which they derived (such as the Storm Loeds and Marauders).
