Recent poll posted shows the space marines as the most popular army. So why is this exactly? Is it because they are featured in all the starter set? Or maybe its the iconic hero mystique that is portrayed in their background. The real reason space marines are so popular is they come in all the color and fluff of the rainbow, they are tactically extremely flexible able to achieve almost every play style with their rules. Lets not forget they are also updated for every edition so you know your army/investment wont be invalidated or unplayable for a decade. At the end of the day they are a players own nature made manifest whether your marines are defenders of humanity or see humans as worthless chattel that get in the way of stomping xenos and as a human it is fundamentally in our nature to be able to relate to these archetypes in space marines easier then say eldar or tyranids .
