* [[Apothecarion]] {{Fn|1b}}
** multiple [[Apothecary|Apothecaries]] {{Fn|1b}}
* [[Dreadnought]]s: Dreadnoughts are very rare. Only very few Chapters have the capacity to build new ones from scratch, and even those that do can do so only a few at a time, because the construction of its core-piece, the Sarcophagus, is very complicated. Fortunately, the design of the Dreadnought is extremely durable and unless destroyed completely, it can eventually be repaired back into function.{{Fn|13a}}
* [[Rhino]]s: Rhinos are the mainstay of every single Chapter's vehicle-pool as an armoured troop-carrier. Each is capable of transporting 10 Space Marines.{{Fn|1e}} Due to its nature as an [[STC]]-design, Rhinos are fairly easy to build and repair.{{Fn|13b}}
*[[Impulsor]]s: Newer [[Era Indomitus]]-era [[Grav-Vehicle]] transports.{{Fn|33}}
* [[Bike]]s: The degree to which Bikes are deployed varies greatly from Chapter to Chapter, with for example the [[White Scars]] using them in great numbers, while other Chapters shun them in favour of [[Rhino]]s or [[Razorback]]s.{{Fn|1f}}
* [[Land Speeder]]s: A typical Chapter fields about 50 to 70 Land Speeders. Though, some Chapters, like the [[Dark Angels]], the [[White Scars]] and the Successor-Chapters of the White Scars, field several times that number. As a counter-example, the [[Imperial Castilians]] field none.{{Fn|13c}}
*[[Storm Speeder]]s: Heavier attack speeder.{{Fn|17a}}
*[[Invictor]]s: Scout walkers.{{Fn|35a}}
* [[Predator]]s: A Chapter typically fields 20 to 30 Predators, though there are Chapters like the [[Iron Hands]] and [[Fire Angels]] which field more than 100. Due to the Predator being based on the Rhino-chassis, and that in itself being very adaptable, it is possible to retrofit Rhinos into Predators.{{Fn|13b}}
*[[Gladiator]]s: Newer [[Era Indomitus]]-era [[Grav-Vehicle]] battle tanks.{{Fn|17b}}
* [[Whirlwind]]s: A Chapter typically fields 20 to 30 Whirlwinds, although this varies greatly from Chapter to Chapter.{{Fn|12b}}
* [[Vindicator]]s: A Chapter typically fields about 12 Vindicators.{{Fn|12c}} They are mostly used for sieges and in urban warfare, however some Chapters greatly value them for their sheer firepower and field them in great numbers as a frontline battle-tank.{{Fn|13b}}
*[[Stalker]]s and [[Hunter]]s: Air defense vehicles.{{Fn|34c}}
* [[Land Raider]]s: Due to its nature as an [[STC]]-design, every Space Marine Chapter is capable of producing the components for building Land Raiders.{{Fn|12d}} As an example for their numbers, the [[Red Scorpions]] had 12 Land Raiders by the time of the [[Siege of Helios]].{{Fn|12e}}
*Newer [[Grav-VehicleRepulsor]]s unveiled by : Newer [[Belisarius CawlEra Indomitus]] for -era [[Primaris Space Marine]]s such as the [[Storm Speeder]]{{Fn|17a}}, [[RepulsorGrav-Vehicle]]heavy assault vehicles.{{Fn|11b}}, *[[Repulsor ExecutionerAstraeus]]{{Fn|11b}}, ': Newer [[ImpulsorEra Indomitus]]{{Fn|11b}}, -era [[Gladiator (Battle Tank)|GladiatorSuper-Heavy]]{{Fn|17b}}, and [[Astraeus Super-heavy Tank|AstraeusGrav Vehicle]]s.{{Fn|18}}
===Fleet===
* [[Battle Barge]]s: Battle-Barges are the largest ships in Space Marine Fleets.{{Fn|12a}} Battle-Barges are [[Battleship]]-sized ships built to withstand heaviest firepower and to deliver troops for an assault. Its weapons are mostly short-range, though they are very dangerous in boarding-actions.{{Fn|14}} Most Chapters have 2 or 3 Battle-Barges, with only few having more.{{Fn|12a}}{{Fn|14}} They can carry 3 Companies of Space Marines, plus vehicles and supplies, and have many launch bays for deploying [[Drop Pod]]s, [[Thunderhawk]]s and [[Torpedo|boarding-torpedoes]].{{Fn|12a}}
* [[Strike Cruiser]]s: Strike Cruisers are the most common type of larger warship in a Chapter Fleet. They are very fast, carry a Company of Space Marines, and are geared for planetary assaults.{{Fn|14}} They also carry the vehicles assigned to a Company.{{Fn|15b}}
* [[Escort]]s and [[Rapid Strike Vessel]]s: These are many different types of small, fast ships geared for naval combat. They are mainly used for line-of-battle escorts and patrols. They also have a very limited capacity to deliver very small forces on infiltration raids.{{Fn|14}} *Aircraft and Gunships such as the [[Thunderhawk]],{{Fn|1g}} [[Overlord Gunship|Overlord]],{{Fn|36}} [[Storm Eagle]],{{Fn|35}} [[Stormraven]],{{Fn|34d}} [[Stormhawk]],{{Fn|34d}} [[Xiphon]]{{Fn|37}}, and [[Stormtalon]].{{Fn|34d}}
Some Chapters, in particular fleet-based Chapters, employ additional types of support-vessels, such as scout-ships, [[Forge-ship]]s, [[Chapter Barque]]s and [[Vanguard Cruisers]]. Chapter Barques are often modified [[Mass-Conveyance]]-freighters that hold a fleet-based Chapter's most precious assets, like their [[Geneseed]], so they can stay back and out of harm's way during battle. Vanguard Cruisers are modified Strike Cruisers for long-range missions and deep-space recon.{{Fn|14}} As for Forge-Ships, for example an [[Ark-class]] [[Forge-ship]] produces Space Marine [[Power Armour]] and Space Marine infantry weaponry.{{Fn|16}}
