Space Marines are a flexible, versatile force, often described as a jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none. They have a solid, all-round statline which makes them better than the average but not exceptional in any one area, except perhaps toughness. The basic unit is the Tactical Marine, armed with the rapid-firing bolter. Space Marine specialist units, such as the Assault or Devastator squads, are distinguished by their weaponry rather than by a change in their statistics - Assault squads are equipped with bolt pistols and chainswords, whilst Devastators carry a number of heavy weapons. The army specialises in close-range firefights with vehicle support, utilising the Rhino APC and its more heavily-armed variants. These elements combine into a flowing, combined-arms style which grants the player a number of tactical choices during gameplay. Even standard Space Marines are armed with relatively good weapons, a selection of grenades and Power Armour, making even the basic Space Marine unit very well equipped even compared to the elite choices in other armies. It is not uncommon for a Space Marine player to be outnumbered due to the relatively high cost of their units, the idea being that one Space Marine is equal to multiple models of almost any other army.
