The Space Marines are not purely an infantry force; they command a wide variety of fighting vehicles, ranging from one-man jetcycles to orbital artillery platforms.

The Land Raider is the main armored fighting vehicle of the Space Marines. Thousands of these tanks are in action on both sides in the Horus Heresy, and they are produced in large numbers by the Adeptus Mechanicus in both camps. Its sturdy frame is equipped with heavy ceramite armor, and its four las-cannon give it a devastating punch in almost any direction. It's anti-personnel weaponry consists of two heavy bolters. In addition to its roll as an armored fighting vehicle, the Land Raider can carry up to ten Marines into battle; it is very popular as a heavily-armed transport.

The Rhino armored personnel carrier is one of a family of armored vehicles that are widely used throughout the Imperium. The Rhino is the most common of these designs, and is the standard Space Marine personnel carrier and armored transport. It is more lightly armed and armored then the Land Raider, but like a Land Raider it can carry up to ten troops.

The Whirlwind missile carrier is one of several Rhino variants. It is more or less identical to the original chassis, but the original bolter armament is augmented by a turret-mounted multi-launcher, giving the Whirlwind a powerful support capacity.
