After the conflict was resolved, the new Lord Commander of the Imperium (which the space marines serve) ordered them to split into smaller groups made up of 1000 soldiers to help contain any potential rebellious uprisings in the future.
In the tabletop game, this has granted players the freedom to choose from a huge range of different marines all heralding from different units, each with their own colour scheme and armour markings. Focus Entertainment’s latest game does a great job at capturing that level of customisation in its multiplayer mode.
But with so much to choose from, it can be hard keeping up with everything available, so we’ve assembled a list of every Astarte chapter that is available in Space Marine 2 below.

How many Astartes chapters are in Warhammer Space Marine 2?
There are a total of 37 different Astartes chapters in Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2 – that’s a lot of options.
They are all split into different menu tabs in the game’s Astartes Heraldry menu, ordered by the faction’s heritage.
Some can be unlocked through Space Marine 2’s in-game currency, whereas others can only be obtained by buying them as DLC.
Each chapter is also divided into multiple elements, such as emblems and colour schemes, so there is a high level of customisation on offer.
Full list of Warhammer Space Marine 2 chapters – all Astartes Heraldry options
To customise your armour in Space Marine 2, you’ll need to find the Astartes Heraldry menu.
Simply head to the Armouring Hall on the Battle Barge and interact with the Techpriest that descends from the ceiling.
From there, simply click “edit armour” and you’ll be able to browse the myriad options on offer. However, you’ll need to have completed the introductory mission called “Rain of Terror” first.
