This is the current 10th Edition's Space Marine tactics. 9th Edition Tactics are here.
Why Play Space Marines
Faction Rules
- Oath of Moment: The special rule of the faction, this lets you mark one enemy unit. All of your forces can re-roll to hit and wound this one unit, making it ideal for focus-firing an enemy to death.
Detachments
Gladius Task Force
Special Rules
- Combat Doctrines: This has come back, but it's been cut back considerably form being a fundamental asset for guiding your army's movement to now once-per-game buffs.
- Devastator Doctrine: Your army can always shoot after advancing. Incredibly handy for heavy gunners Heavy Intercessors and Helblasters.
- Tactical Doctrine: Your army can shoot and charge after falling back.
- Assault Doctrine: Your army can charge after advancing.
Stratagems
- Only in Death Does Duty End (2 CP): If your enemy hits and kills one of your models in melee, that model can get one last swing before going down.

Battleline
- Infernus Squad:
- Intercessor Squad: The biggest change to Intercessors is that all three types of Bolt Rifle have been folded into a single weapon; as it has both Assault and Heavy, they can both shoot after advancing and gain +1 to hit if they stay still. Needless to say, this means they're way more flexible than they used to be even if they still need help against heavier targets.
- Sternguard Veterans:
Infantry
- Terminator Squad: Got the Primaris buff of T5 and little else. Fortunately, their WS and BS remain fixed at 3+, which surprisingly actually stays where it is on the power fists (Which remain S8 AD2 but lose a bit with AP-2 and one less attack than the power weapons), but are stuck on WS4+ on the Chainfists (which are just power fists but with Anti-Vehicle 3+). The power weapons, however took a step down by just being power swords (no more axes, no more power mauls, just S5 AP-2 for everything). Storm Bolters are pretty much identical as they were, as is the Heavy Flamer and the the Cyclone Missile Launcher (which actually got S9). The Assault Cannon took a nerf by losing its AP , but Devastating Wounds makes critical wounds more effective on monsters while giving a way to still deal some damage to armored targets.
- Fury of the First makes them a lot more reliable now that its been made into a rule instead of a Stratagem. Being able to ignore any penalties to hit helps throw off a lot, but this also lets you add +1 to hit against anyone you target with Oath of Moment.
- The Teleport Homer remains as a means for reliable deep-striking, but now you need to set them up around 3" of the new pack-in beacon. This also requires you to use the Rapid Ingress Stratagem in order to use it, though you're not wasting a CP for it.
Vehicles
- Ballistus Dreadnought:
- Land Raider: Already we see the significant bump in durability as its Toughness got bumped up from 8 to 12 - Incidentally, that's just enough that its lascannons (now bearing the "Godhammer" moniker) can only wound it on a 4+. That tankiness also influences its damage track, as it now only suffers a penalty to BS when it's on its last 5 wounds. Assault Ramps also make a glorious return, granting your squads the ability to charge after disembarking.
- As with last edition, it can easily grab Wulfen and Termies with ease (each model taking two slots) and can even fit Centurions (each taking three slots), but now it can also carry any Gravis units as well (at two slots a model), meaning you can easily use it to cart a pack of Aggressors so they can incinerate the opposition or assist some Heavy Intercessors with capping a point.
- Of course, it's unique Godhammer lascannons don't have to deal with the return of Twin-Linked and just get 2 shots base.
