Warhammer Space Marine 2 chapters: Full list of Astartes Heraldry
It’s time to crack the paint open.
Tired of running around in Lieutenant Titus's blue and gold armour? Well, Space Marine 2’s Astartes Heraldry screen will let you take your soldier for a spin with a new lick of paint.
Although space marines are usually united against a common enemy, they are also divided into different factions called Chapters. In Warhammer 40k’s dense lore, a horrific civil war known as the Horus Heresy sparked a change in policy for the gruff warriors.
After the conflict was resolved, the new Lord Commander of the Imperium (which the space marines serve) ordered them to split into smaller groups made up of 1000 soldiers to help contain any potential rebellious uprisings in the future.
In the tabletop game, this has granted players the freedom to choose from a huge range of different marines all heralding from different units, each with their own colour scheme and armour markings. Focus Entertainment's latest game does a great job at capturing that level of customisation in its multiplayer mode.
But with so much to choose from, it can be hard keeping up with everything available, so we’ve assembled a list of every Astarte chapter that is available in Space Marine 2 below.
