Assault Squads are the fast-moving shock troops of the Legiones Astartes, striking with devastating speed from the skies. Equipped with powerful jump packs, these elite warriors soar over obstacles and defensive lines before crashing into the enemy with chainswords roaring, overwhelming their foes in brutal close-quarters combat.
Outfitted in Mark IV "Maximus" Power Armour, these Legionaries benefit from one of the most advanced armor designs of the Horus Heresy. Combining excellent mobility with reliable protection, Maximus armor features reinforced external cabling and a refined helmet design, making it a favored choice among Space Marine Legions.
This multipart plastic kit builds 10 Space Marine Assault Legionaries for your Legiones Astartes army in Warhammer: The Horus Heresy. Armed with chainswords, bolt pistols, and jump packs, they excel at rapid assaults, flanking maneuvers, and breaking enemy lines before they have a chance to react. The kit can also be assembled as a Veteran Assault Squad, with the option to equip each warrior with a formidable power lance.
