Orders of the Space Marine, Warhammer 40000: List

Orders of the Space Marine are special military organizations of the human empire in the universe of Warhammer. There are a lot of them, and for them a special code was created. Many of them remained unknown, and others with the courage of their soldiers immortalized their name in the world of permanent galactic wars.

General information on the orders

All fans of the orders of the Space Marine should know that they are divided into code and non-code. The first category belongs to those groups that take on faith and blindly follow each point of the Astartes - guides for all the legions (another name for organizations). When creating such a powerful military force, the emperor in the book introduced clear rules and created the structure of the orders. The first category of organizations agreed with all the rules, and they are called code. The second took only a part of all strict points, and therefore their name - non-alphabetic. Among the two species are legions, who have earned themselves immortal fame with a huge number of exploits.

Two well-known code organizations

The orders of the Space Marine are of interest because among them there are no similar among themselves according to the principles of life and the internal rules. The most famous of all legions are the "Ultramarines" - the guardians of the code at the highest level. Their observance of the rules goes almost to religious worship, although they have some retreat in the form of a detachment of veterans of the Space Marines. Their internal structure resembles ancient Greece, where there is freedom of speech and democracy. Rules for them are a means of life, and therefore they boldly go into battle to protect the territories of the empire.

The second no less famous legion in the list of Orders of the Space Marine is "Imperial Fists." Members of this group are obsessed with discipline and tempering the character. For them, any minor violation of the internal routine is a reason for severe punishment with the help of a special glove. This tool affects the pain receptors of the brain, and the person experiences incredible agony. According to the "kulaks", every person must pass such tests, because only the pain makes you stronger. For this reason many volunteer to wear these gloves.

"Crows" and "Salamanders"

In the Warhammer 40000 universe, the list of Orders of the Space Marine is incredibly large, but none of them can compare in guerrilla warfare with the "Crow Guard". This is a small legion, and its low popularity is due to mutations, which sooner or later occur with each member of the detachment. Their skin becomes incredibly pale, and the hair with the eyes is completely black. All secret operations, subversive wars in enemy territory, are conducting this order. Despite the pigmentation of the skin, they can perfectly mask themselves and remain invisible in the right situation.

The Order of the Salamander is completely different from the ravens by its statute. They like direct fight, but only at a long distance. In their genocode, a slow reaction is laid down, and therefore they even do weapons for their fighters. Lizards respect fire and often use it in battle with thunder hammers and flamethrowers. Their differences in the black skin of soldiers and humanism towards the common people. Other orders disdain civil, but the Salamanders in operations take into account that they need protection.

Angelic orders

All orders of the Space Marine have their own stories, but one of the most tragic stories is "Dark Angels." This order remained code only on paper, because very few people know about the existence within it of the secret organization "Wing of Death". Its creation was due to a split in the days of the Galactic War and the Crusades. Many traitors have broken away from the organization and are hiding in the universe. Members of the secret group are hunted down and killed. The presence of many secrets and secrets within the organization made all members of the legion distrustful with signs of paranoia.

The Order of the "Red Angels" also earned a bad reputation, which is connected with the problems of genocode. Soldiers of this organization like an aesthetic approach, but the influence of genes is superior to their mind. To create a new member of the legion, it is necessary to enter into it blood with a particle of panarch, which is stored in special tanks. On the battlefield, angels often succumb to two disastrous effects: "Red Fury" and "Black Anger." The first in the heat of battle makes you lose control, and the second echoes of the past brings the mind to the brink of insanity.

Known non-index orders

In the Warhammer universe, the Order of the Space Marines can have a population of one thousand people, because it ascribes the code, but the "Space Wolves" completely rejected his rules. They have in their composition thirteen mouths, each of which has up to four thousand fighters. This old force is controlled by an old warrior named Logan Grimnar. For "wolves" the notions of honor and valor are paramount. Their peculiarity of the genocode gives the bodies the features of animals. Thanks to them, they reject the influence of Chaos and have an increased sense of humor.

The second known uncoded order is the "Black Templars". These soldiers used to be in the "Imperial Fists", but decided to discard the rules of the Order and continue their independent struggle against all the enemies of the Imperium. They are masters of hand-to-hand combat and fight great in any terrain. Their hunting for flotillas of 5-6 thousand never stops. The constant movement is due to the lack of a personal base. The commander of this armada is Supreme Marshal Helbrecht.

The third category of orders

In the world of the Warhammer 40000, the Order of the Space Marines can also have a controversial status. Among these, the most famous are the "Relicators" and "The Legion of the Damned." The first got such status because of the craving for the artifacts of Chaos. When the Inquisition found out about this, the head of the legion was executed, and other members of the army were sent to the redemption campaign. Later this conflict only intensified, the order was excommunicated and almost destroyed the "Gray Knights". The remnants escaped from the empire.

Order "Legion of the Damned" is the remains of the organization "Fire Hawks." They come to the aid of other Space Marines at the most difficult moments in the form of spirits. All this is due to the mutations of mental effects that occurred after the Warp explosion. Most of the "hawks" then perished or became insane, and the survivors acquired such abilities.
