Escalating Conflict: Space Marines

December 2025·p. 87

THE SHORT VERSION

The Gladius Task Force expansion gives both Terminator characters an accompanying unit and lets those armoured squads supply the army’s main punch. A Ballistus Dreadnought helps against hard targets, while Intercessors, Scouts and Outriders address objective security, early positioning and mobile Actions. The commentary explains why these supporting roles matter instead of merely adding more elite damage dealers to the starter force.
