Horus Heresy: Age of Darkness MkII Assault Squad

Jump pack-equipped assault squads are rapid-attack soldiers with wargear optimised for close-quarter fighting and hit-and-run tactics. The use of jump packs allows assault squads to move with great speed across the battlefield and impact the enemy line with savage force, leaping past intervening terrain and open defences to engage their adversaries in bloody melee.

When first created, Mark II "Crusade" armour was the epitome of Space Marine technology – a void-sealed, radiation-shielded suit of battle plate able to withstand an unprecedented degree of punishment. Despite its age, it was still used extensively when the Horus Heresy broke out.

This multipart plastic kit builds 10 Assault Space Marines, powerful shock troops for your Legiones Astartes armies in games of Warhammer: The Horus Heresy. With their speed and chainaxes, they are ideal for attacking exposed flanks and bypassing the enemy front lines, throwing a deadly spanner into their plans.

The kit includes parts to build up to two Sergeants, who can each be armed with a disintegrator pistol or volkite serpenta, a power maul, and a melta bomb. Every member of the squad can swap their bolt pistol for a combat shield to soak up greater amounts of damage as they leap across the battlefield, and two Legionaries can each be armed with an optional heavy chain axe to give them more hitting power. There are 16 different heads in eight designs, and a selection of grenades, pouches, and holsters to further customise your miniatures.

This kit can also be used with the Melee Weapons Upgrade Set, available separately, to give you even more tactical options.

These miniatures have no Legion-specific markings, so you can use them in any Legiones Astartes force, whether you're loyal to the Emperor or have joined Horus in his rebellion.

This kit is supplied with 1x Horus Heresy Transfer Sheet, containing 618 high-quality waterslide transfers to decorate your miniatures. There is Legion iconography for the Sons of Horus, Imperial Fists, Iron Warriors, and Salamanders, along with generic icons, numerals, and honour markings.

This kit comprises 244 plastic components and 10x Citadel 32mm Round Bases. These miniatures require assembly and are supplied unpainted – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.
