Space Marine Legion Organization

A Space Marine Legion has up to 20 Regiments.
Each Regiment has a command element and exactly 3 battalions
Each Battalion has a command element and exactly 3 companies

Legion Building rules: These take precedence over the normal detachment building rules of Epic 40,000 or E41K

Legion Building check list:

  1. Buy your platoons.  It is recommended that you buy a total that is divisible by 3, but this is not required.
  2. Group them by 3's   Each group of 3 is a company.  Buy Company HQ for each company
  3. Group the companies by 3.  Each group of 3 companies is a battalion.  Buy a Battalion HQ for each battalion.  Buy up to 3 support platoons, if wanted, for each battalion.
  4. Group the battalions by 3.  Each 3 battalions is a Regiment.   Buy a RHQ for each regiment.  Buy up to 6 support platoons for each regiment

Command Elements for Space Marine Legions


Regimental HQ (50 pt. plus the cost of support platoons)
1 Commander Terminator Stand

A regiment has a total of 27 to 42 space marine platoons (27 line platoons and up to 15 support platoons)

Any platoon, regardless of where it "lives" in the regiment may be of any type, (i.e. you may have a tactical platoon as a regimental level support platoon and you may have a support weapon (e.g. Mole Mortar) platoon as a line platoon. For some platoons there is a limit on how many of that type may be in a regiment as a whole. This does not effect the number of these types that may be in a given company or battalion, just the regiment as a whole. This will be noted in the platoon lists.
