Opis
Tactical Squads are the mainstay of the Space Marine Legions, highly
versatile infantry units that can attack or defend at will, assault heavily
fortified positions, and take and hold strategic objectives – or simply
slaughter the enemy – in almost any terrain or situation. All 18 Legions make
heavy use of Tactical Squads in different ways – it is by the fighting power of
thousands of superhuman warriors such as these, armed with deadly bolters and
armoured for battle in the harshest of war zones, that the Imperium has beat a
bloody path across the galaxy at the head of the Great Crusade.
Mark IV
'Maximus Armour’ was designed to offer a fine balance of agility and
durability, exploiting many of the advanced technologies recovered by the Great
Crusade. Its comparatively lightweight design, armoured external cabling, and
redesigned helm make it prized amongst the Legiones Astartes – in the Age of
Darkness, the Mark IV is perhaps the most common pattern of power armour seen
across the galaxy.
This multipart plastic kit builds 20 Space Marine
Legionaries, which can be fielded in games of Warhammer: The Horus Heresy as a
Legion Tactical Squad of 20 models, or two units of 10 models. Each of these
Legionaries is armed with a Tigrus-pattern bolter and bolt pistol, and can also
be outfitted with a variety of additional components including combat knives,
grenades, and pouches, while up to two Legionaries can be outfitted with a
back-mounted Legion vexilla. Accessories and alternate heads are included to
build a Legion Tactical Sergeant for each of your squads – the kit offers a
variety of extra weapon options for these unit leaders, including plasma
pistols, chainswords, power swords, power fists, lightning claws, melta bombs,
and combi-weapons with three configurations (flamer, melta, or plasma). These
models have no Legion markings, allowing Warhammer hobbyists to paint them in
whichever colours they choose – however, the box includes a transfer sheet with
339 optional markings and iconography for the Sons of Horus and Imperial Fists
Legions.
This set comprises 344 plastic components, and is supplied with
20x Citadel 32mm Round Bases and a Legiones Astartes Infantry Transfer Sheet.
These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly – we recommend
using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel paints.
You will need a copy of
the Warhammer: The Horus Heresy – Age of Darkness Rulebook and either the Liber
Astartes: Loyalist Legiones Astartes Army Book or Liber Hereticus: Traitor
Legiones Astartes Army Book to make full use of these models.
This kit
also includes the components to equip Legionaries with up to two plasma guns,
two melta guns, two flamers, two heavy bolters, and two missile launchers –
note that these options are not valid for a Legion Tactical Squad as found in
the Liber Astartes rulebooks, but can be used to create a Legion Veteran Squad,
reinforce your Legion Tactical Support or Heavy Support Squads, or build
Tactical Squads for games of Warhammer 40,000.
