RanksĪll Space Marine Chapters loosely utilize the same types of ranks. These squads are formed when circumstances necessitate the concentration of the Chapter's most capable warriors and potent equipment into one or more heavily-armed and powerful units. The veterans wear the uniquely powerful Terminator Armour. Terminator squads are drawn from the best and most experienced warriors of the entire Chapter. In addition to these three squad types, veterans can be formed into Veteran or Terminator Squads, while the initiate Marines are formed into Scout squads. The squad types are equipped and trained to fulfill a specific battlefield role, each of the three types designed to complement each other on the battlefield to make a far more effective whole. Fire Support Squads consist of Devastator Squads, Hellblaster Squads, Eradicator Squads, or Aggressor Squads. Close Support Squads consist of either Assault Squads, Inceptor Squads, or Reiver Squads. The traditional Codex Chapter is tactically organised into a number of different types of squad: Battleline Squads consist of either Tactical Squads or Primaris Intercessor Squads. Space Marine heraldry as per the Codex Astartes Chapters adhere to the Codex Astartes in differing degrees, some regarding any deviation from it as virtual heresy others, notably the Black Templars, Blood Angels, Space Wolves, and Dark Angels, only following the Codex in the broadest matters. To some extent, the Chapters maintain the traditions and character of the Legion they descend from. Later in the closing days of the 41st Millennium the resurrected Roboute Guilliman and his Mechanicum researchers oversaw the creation of a new generation of Astartes, known as the Primaris Space Marine. There are now around a thousand Chapters in existence, each Chapter ultimately descending from one of the loyalist Legions. Successive foundings over the millennia have created new Chapters. Each Legion was divided into several autonomous Chapters, which remain the primary unit of the Space Marines to the current day. The Legions which had remained loyal were eventually reorganised according to the dictates of the Codex Astartes, in the event known as the Second Founding. With the rebellion defeated, those Legions which had sided with Horus were driven into the Eye of Terror. In the final battle for control of the future of mankind, Horus was slain by the Emperor. The Crusade, lasting for two centuries, ended with the treachery of one of the Primarchs, Horus, who led at least half of the Legions in a rebellion known as the Horus Heresy against the Emperor. The Legions took part in the Great Crusade, during which the lost Primarchs were rediscovered and given command of their respective Legion.
