"The movie army is led by a tough, grizzled Veteran Sergeant, leading in a resolute and uncompromising fashion.
He is also a lethal man in a fight and more than eager to give Johnny Xenos a sound thrashing."

SPECIAL RULES
Listen Up, Maggots: The Sergeant often finds himself as the last surviving leader in the chain of command. He
maintains discipline with constant vigilance and a sharp tongue. All Space Marines with line of sight to the
Sergeant may re-roll failed Morale check and Pinning tests.
Note: All Movie Marine armies are led by a single Sergeant. That's what the "1" in the "1 Space Marine
Sergeant" means.
**ELITE**
"The Dude gets the especially cool lines and designer purity seals. If there was ever a female lead in a Space
Marine movie, then the Dude would be the one who rescues her all the time. The actor playing the Dude is the
reason your girlfriend might go with you, without you having to waste a good painting day shopping for shoes
with her in compensation."

SPECIAL RULES
Second in Command: The Veteran is the nominal leader of "Demi-squad 2" but will overcome his moody
selfishness to lead the squad if the Sergeant falls in battle. If the Sergeant has been removed as a casualty, all
Space Marines within 12" of the Veteran may re-roll failed Morale check and Pinning tests.
Special Issue Ammunition: If equipped with Special Issue Ammunition, any wounds caused by the Veteran's
bolter ignore both cover and Invulnerable saves.
**TROOPS**
Note: I've deviated a bit from the article here. Instead of 0-6 Space Marines, I've divided the Troops section into
two "demi-squads", which I think better fits the background of Space Marines. A Movie Marine army list must
include one of each of the below demi-squads.
1 SPACE MARINE DEMI-SQUAD 1....................................100 Points per Space Marine
"This listing represents typical Space Marines -- if you call 7' tall, genetically engineered, psychologically
conditioned killing machines typical. They digest poison, spit acid, and can survive in a vaccuum. Would you
want to tangle with them?"

SPECIAL RULES
Force of One: Space Marines generally work in squads, but individual models may move out of unit coherency
and may operate independently. The concept of unit is fluid to the battle-hardened Space Marine. As long as a
Space Marine is within 4" of another Space Marine they are considered to be part of the same unit. Additionally,
multiple Space Marine units can ride in the same transport, embarking and disembarking independently.
Note: Use the Force Organization chart to determine kill points for Annihilation missions. Each unit counts as
two kill points and the entire unit must be removed to gain the points. For example, a Movie Marine army with a
Sergeant, a Veteran, two Demi-squads and a Rhino count as 10 kill points.
Do You Want Some of This?: If a Space Marine is removed because of the No Retreatrule, then he will go
crazy ape bonkers as he gets dragged down. He can fire either a bolter or bolt pistol at his enemies (make the
attacks normally) or pull the pin on a Frag grenade (center the blast over the model) and take his foes with him.
SPACE MARINE ARMORY
Auto-senses: Space Marines count as being equipped with an auspex and may re-roll the dice when
determining sighting distance for Night Fight.
Power Armor: Models in power armor may re-roll unsuccessful armor saves. Additionally, models in power
armor gain a 4+ Invulnerable save.
Chainsword: A Chainsword is a power weapon that allows the wielder to re-roll any failed roll to wound.
Additionally, all close combat attacks gain the Rending quality.
Power Fist: A Power Fist is a Strength 10 two-handed power weapon that is difficult and cumbersome to use,
so attacks with a Power Fist are always delivered at Initiative 4. Additionally, a Power Fist rolls +3D6 (rather than
+D6) for armor penetration.
Frag Grenades: Models armed with Frag grenades count as being equipped with assault and defensive
grenades. Frag grenades can be used as a ranged weapon with the below profile. When used as a ranged
weapon, Frag grenades ignore cover saves.
Krak Grenades: In addition to being used against a vehicle as normal grenades, Krak grenades can be used as
a ranged weapon with the below profile. Krak grenades roll +2D6 (rather than +D6) for armor penetration.

Flamer: Select a target. If the target is in range, then every model in the target unit is automatically hit by the
flamer (i.e., do not roll to hit and do not use the flamer template). Roll a D6 for each model. The flamer wounds
on a 4+. Multi-wound models wounded by the flamer are covered with flaming promethium and must
immediately make another save. If this save is passed, then the model puts out the flames. If the save is failed,
the model takes another wound and must immediately make another save. This continues until the multi-wound
model passes a save or is removed as a casualty.
Meltagun: A Space Marine meltagun within 24" rolls +2D6 (rather than +D6) for armor penetration. A Space
Marine meltagun at half range or less rolls +3D6 (rather than +2D6) for armor penetration.
Heavy Bolter: A Space Marine heavy bolter that rolls four or more 1s to hit jams. The shots are resolved
normally but do not gain the benefit of the Rending special rule. The heavy bolter acts normally in the next
shooting phase. Vehicle mounted heavy bolters never jam.
Missile Launcher: A Space Marine missile launcher may fire either Frag or Krak missiles using the below profile.
The firer may use any combination of Frag and Krak missiles when the weapon is fired.

Lascannon: Draw a 60" line from the Lascannon. Line of sight is not required and terrain is ignored. Roll to hit
the closest unit. If the shot misses, the beam goes wild and no more hits are generated. If it hits, then roll to
wound normally and move to the next closest unit touched by the line and roll to hit. Continue along the line
until the lascannon misses or all units have been hit. Wounds are allocated normally against the unit (e.g., you
can't snipe models with a Lascannon shot).
SPACE MARINE VEHICLE UPGRADES
Smoke Launchers: Space Marine smoke launchers follow the normal Warhammer 40,000 rules (BRB, p62) but
may be used in every Space Marine Movement phase.
Searchlight: A vehicle equipped with a Space Marine searchlight ignores Night Fight rules.
