Editing Insignium Astartes

Whilst the [[Codex Astartes]] is the big space book for the [[Space Marines|SPEHS MAHREENS]], the Insignium Astartes (Officially known as the '''Insignium Astartes: The Uniforms & Regalia of the Space Marines''') is reserved towards non-Astartes personnel or rich civilians.

==Overview==
This soft cover laminated book focuses primarily on the uniforms, armour and organisation of the [[Ultramarines]] Chapter but also features the basic regalia of numerous other chapters - many of which are seldom mentioned elsewhere. Every chapter featured is believed to conform to the rules of the Codex Astartes which was written by Ultramarines [[Primarch]] [[Roboute Guilliman]] following the [[Horus Heresy]].

As it is meant for as an educational guidebook for non-Astartes to better understand how a typical Space Marine Chapter work, the Insignium Astartes provides a condensed, easy-to-read, breakdown info for the common pleb. Consider this the [[Imperial Munitorum Manual]] on Space Marines.

==Table of Contents==
*'''Introduction''' - The introduction of the book. Nothing much to write home about.
*'''Space Marines''' - This chapter deal with various topics on the Astartes, like what a Space Marine exactly is, what an Astartes Chapter is and how they are organised, as well as the meaning of their various company banners and [[Pauldrons]].
*'''Squad Variations''' - This section delves into the different squads of a Space Marine Chapter and what each of them specialises in. This includes pages on Tacticals, Assaults, Devastators, Command, Veteran, Terminators and Scout Squads.
*'''Badge Variants''' - This is a shopping list on what each Space Marine badge/promotion represent to both their capabilities and ranking. Not as in depth as the later chapters that do goes into the various badges, but still a good off-the-go review.
*'''Officers''' - This chapter deals with the head honchos of the Chapter and what they do in a Chapter. Pages details Captains & Commanders, Chaplains, Apothecaries, Librarians and Techmarines.
*'''Vehicles''' - The vehicle section that lists down and describes (Most) vehicles utilised by a Space Marine Chapter. They include the Astartes Assault Bike, Land Speeder, Dreadnought, Rhino & Razorback and Land Raider & Predator.
*'''Other Codex Chapters''' - As it is an Ultramarine-centered book, the Ultramarines are the poster boys in this tome. However, this chapter gives lists on the ''other'' (Mostly first-founding) Chapters and what they specialise in.
*'''Honour Badges''' - Another shopping list, but this time for exemplary badges and what they represent. This is where the Crux Terminatus Badge comes into view.
*'''Army Badges & Field Signs''' - The last shopping list that deals with the more 'pleb' badges but also goes into the various Field Signs and what they mean to the Chapter as a whole.
