Top 10 Best Space Marine Chapters from Warhammer 40k
You know them by their battle cries, their colors, their grim resolve, and their tendency to turn entire planets into smoking wreckage in the name of the Emperor. The Space Marines aren't just any faction in Warhammer 40k. They're the genetically modified, power-armored, grimdark poster boys of the Imperium. Across the galaxy, thousands of chapters carry out their bloody duties with terrifying efficiency and wildly different personalities.Some charge into battle howling like wolves. Others move like silent shadows through ruined cathedrals. A few show up in bright blue and quote from a rulebook like it's scripture. Still, all of them are ready to purge heretics, xenos, and anyone else who looks at Holy Terra funny.
This list is for the loyalists. No Chaos corruption allowed. You're picking from the chapters that still more or less follow the Emperor's will, or at least claim to.
So, what are the best Space Marine chapters from Warhammer 40k? That's up to you. Cast your votes and decide which brotherhood of bolter-happy zealots deserves the most praise.
A chapter that specializes in close combat, the Blood Angels are one of the oldest and most respected chapters of space marines. Their primarch is Sanguinius, who was the most beloved of the primarchs. The Blood Angels also hold a dark secret known as the Red Thirst, which gives those infected a literal thirst for blood. These marines are then put in a Death Company. Despite this setback, they remain one of the most honorable defenders of the Imperium.
Best Primarch, best chapter master, best lore. They'll fight to the last man and will sacrifice in doing their duty.
Everyone loves the Salamanders.
These warriors are the 40k version of Vikings and they do an awesome job at it.
I think there is a little chaos taint in all of us.
Awesome paint scheme and a heavy weapon attitude to everything. Gotta love it!
People can hate them all they want, but deep down everyone knows they are the best overall.
Smurfs are great, and Guilliman is a solid primarch. But he's no Sanguinius, and his decision to split the legions into many chapters was a mistake.
Huge Chapter with anywhere from three to six thousand Battle Brothers on a self-imposed eternal crusade. When it needs to be purged with a very high level of violence of action, these are the guys to call.
What is your duty? - to do the Emperor's will! What is the Emperor's will? - that we fight and die!
The Soul Drinkers are a unique chapter in that they are renegades, but unlike other renegade chapters, they don't follow the Chaos gods as they despise all forms of Chaos. What also makes them unique is that they are against the Imperium, yet they still follow the Emperor's teachings because they think the rest of the Imperium betrayed his teachings. One might consider them a free chapter.
MEQs with stormbolters, Terminator Troops, cool weapons and psychic powers, and Paladins. They are also the purest chapter.

These are silent killers. I would recommend watching your back, you traitorous scum!
The reason I love it is because it has its own mysterious past and an awesome color scheme.
Best, Blood Angels, Sisters of Battle, Dark Angels, and Blood Ravens. Space Wolves might mention.
Khan you even handle it? White Scars' lightning war is always best.
These guys are underrated. I just love their battle cry: the flesh is weak. It's a shame these guys don't get much attention.
Keep shooting at it even if it looks dead!
To become an Exorcist Battle Brother, the candidate must become possessed by a daemon, and then have it removed. Many Scout Marines die during this process. However, the process is very useful because once the daemon has been cast out, the Battle Brother is forever immune to possession.
The baddest around when it comes down to Space Marines. If you don't know why, please educate yourself while watching the Exorcist in the background. The Emperor Protects.
