Assault Marine

An assault marine is a Space Marine that is equipped with weapons that are more oriented towards combat at close quarters. The standard equipment is a close combat weapon like a sword, knife, or chainsword, and a pistol of some kind. Assault Marines can also be equipped with jump packs that enable them to leap over obstacles rather quickly. The term Assault Marine refers to Imperial Space Marines equipped in such a manner; Chaos Space Marines have similar units called Chaos Raptors.
