The Space Marines relay the publisher says can move troops where they are needed after fortifications secure points.
A movement link for Space Marines
Deep Silver’s Space Marines guidance says that a player cannot be everywhere. It recommends using fortifications to secure points, then using Reserves and the Thunderhawk Relay to move troops quickly where they are needed. That sentence confirms the relay’s published role as part of the faction’s response to a wide battlefield, connecting secured positions and the troops held for movement.
The source does not describe the Thunderhawk Relay as a normal production building or as the same mechanic as structures dropped from orbit. It names the relay alongside fortifications and Reserves, so the page keeps those systems distinct. The confirmed idea is battlefield reach supported by a named relay, not instant access to every location.
Reach without a published timing table
The official guidance provides no cost, construction time, range, capacity, cooldown or destruction rule for the Thunderhawk Relay. It also does not state whether the relay works in every mode or how it interacts with the exact Reserve roster. A movement recommendation cannot be turned into a numerical transport promise without those details.
The reliable pre-release summary is the one Deep Silver publishes: secure points with fortifications, then use Reserves and the Thunderhawk Relay to move troops where they are needed. The page does not claim that a relay removes the need for positioning or that it is always the best Space Marines structure. Exact limitations and counterplay remain unconfirmed.

No cost, build time, hit points, range, damage or squad size here — none of it has been published, by anyone. The game has not shipped and no playable build has produced figures that can be checked. Those rows appear the day the numbers exist.
