Ok, Ok, I get it! You don't want to read it...
Here is the most important Discord link:

(Tsalguasan Warzone)

In case you care, check out the other stuff I wrote down there, it will help you to understand whats going on in the game.
Basical comment
First of all: The more people see this guide, the more are going to keep this great game alive. This is why I ask you to leave a positive feedback, to bring this guide up to the front pages of new players!

The Space Marine Community is scattered, but far away from being dead. There are some clans as well as tournaments. Clan members can be noticed by their Name Tags.

Example: If I would have been allowed to join the Crimson Fists, my name would be something like "-CF- Sir Charles", "Sir Charles [Crimson Fists]", "Sir Charles [CF]" or something else in this manner. Note that clans will not be happy to see some random person with their Tags without permission and some of them may decide to hunt you down ingame in case you did so. If you wish to join a clan, simply message one of their members and that person will tell you what to do in most cases (most clans do some sort of trial any newcomer has to pass).

It is very helpfull to communicate with people in public lobbies. They will give you advice or even training if you want that and can introduce you into the basic gameplay. Many players are friends on steam with each other to get lobbies going when there are no games running and the only way to gain friends is to be friendly. :)
How do I get in contact with the community?
There are various Discord servers and steam groups that connect the SM community. While there is not many things going on in the steam groups, the discord servers will allow for group recruitment as well as participation in some events (Dreadnaught gamemode, tournaments).


Disclaimer: Of course there are several other Servers which I don't know about or that are small or very specific. If you are looking for something like that, just talk to players in game.

I hope this guide is helpfull to get started with Space Marine's PvP. If you would like to see other community hubs in here or have other additions or complaints, don't hesitate to leave comment!

The most active Discord with many active members who are willing to help new players is this one.

Here you have another community-Discord and a Steam-group, organised by the very same people who created the glitchless Space Marine Steam-group. The main focus here is not glitchless play but rather general gameplay of Warhammer 40k games - including Space Marine - featuring events and in-depth trainings in the more advanced game-mechanics:

Other Gamemodes besides Seize Ground
The player Isendel Steel is organizing matches in all the other gamemodes besides seize ground (Dreadnaught Assault, Capture and Control, Capture the Falg and Annihilation) on a regular basis. His Steam group and the related Discord can be found here:
https://cs2bus.com/groups/78832
"Space Marine LFG"
There is a Steam group that is used to help public matches start when there are non aviable:

The Space Marine Community Discord
With more than 2000 members, the largest gameplay-related Server I know of is the Space Marine Community Server. It used to be a great hub for the community, but is unfortunately not very active anymore.
https://discord.gg/thMTEkk
Competitive focus
Two discord servers that focus on competition. Mostly clan-related, but non-clan members are still welcome.


The 'International Clan League':
https://discord.gg/E476ReRgGJ


The 'Space Marine Competitive Community':
https://discord.gg/pMAgTVSPqP
SMA - Space Marine Augmented (Mod, discontinued)

Hi, so I've been looking into multiplayer and have never seen players online other than myself on the list. Does this mean that actually no one is online or are other players not shown, and that I should queue for a game and wait?
Sir Charles <Captain> [TH]  [author] 30 Oct, 2024 @ 10:03am 
Outside of joining "these groups" i doubt it, except if you make your own "group". Thats literally why i made this guide ^^
[MW] Indefatigable 26 Oct, 2024 @ 3:15pm 
yeah, it seems that only the most popular game modes are populated at all

Outside of joining these groups, is it possible to find modes for anything other than Seize Ground with classic maps? I've tried queuing for Seize Ground and Annihilation with both DLCs and Dreadnought Assault but haven't managed to get anything at prime hours.
