In case you’re wondering when “space marines” first appeared in Games Workshop’s White Dwarf, it was issue 8, August/September 1978, when Mike Hodson-Smith reviewed A Mark Ratner’s Space Marines sci-fi skirmish rules by FanTac Games

Space Marines, the 1977 sci-fi skirmish game from FanTac -- From A Mark Ratner’s 5-page article with detailed designer notes, explaining the different inspirations for the races, some rules corrections, and adding new rules, Dragon 14, May 1978.  He starts with a nod to Guidon/TSR’s Tractics and John McEwan’s Starguard!, then adds his justification for ground combat in a far future setting, something some people still seem to struggle to understand.

Space Marines, "The Game of Tactical ground combat between Humans and Aliens in the 22nd century", was a miniatures game written by A. Mark Ratner and illustrated by David Sutherland.  It included rules to convert stats for D&D and Metamorphosis Alpha characters, which seems odd in retrospect but is similar to the intent of the multi-genre cross-over rules in the AD&D Dungeon Masters Guide.  Fantasy Games Unlimited released a version of Space Marine in 1980, and adapted the setting for their Space Opera RPG.  Some of the Space Marines miniatures are still available from Stan Johansen under the name "Star Armour".
