The baseline against which the rest of the game is measured: durable infantry, reliable ranged damage, and a doctrine system that lets the army change its emphasis mid-game. Space Marine lists vary enormously in build, so the faction name says less than the detachment does. Watch which doctrine is declared and when, since that is where a Marine commander spends their flexibility.
