The Horus Heresy Legiones Astartes MKIV Tactical Squad Plastic Kit (20 Models)

The Horus Heresy Legiones Astartes MKIV Tactical Squad is a comprehensive plastic modelling kit for tabletop wargaming enthusiasts. This set allows hobbyists to construct 20 Space Marine Legionaries equipped with Mark IV 'Maximus' pattern power armour, representing the advanced battleplate commonly used during the Great Crusade era. These highly versatile infantry units form the backbone of Space Marine Legions in the Warhammer: The Horus Heresy game system, capable of undertaking various battlefield roles from assaulting fortified positions to holding strategic objectives. The kit contains 344 detailed plastic components, providing extensive customisation options. Each Legionary comes armed with a Tigrus-pattern bolter and bolt pistol as standard, with additional accessories including combat knives, grenades, and pouches for enhanced realism. The set includes components to equip models with special weapons such as plasma guns, melta guns, flamers, heavy bolters, and missile launchers, though these are intended for creating Veteran Squads or reinforcing Support Squads rather than standard Tactical Squads. Two Legionaries can be outfitted with back-mounted Legion vexilla (banners), while the included Tactical Sergeant options feature plasma pistols, chainswords, power weapons, lightning claws, and combi-weapons with three configurations. This multipart kit is designed for experienced modellers and wargamers familiar with the Warhammer: The Horus Heresy system. The models have no pre-applied Legion markings, allowing complete creative freedom in painting schemes, though the included transfer sheet provides 339 optional markings and iconography for the Sons of Horus and Imperial Fists Legions. The set comes with 20 Citadel 32mm round bases and requires assembly with plastic glue. To use these models in games, players will need the relevant rulebooks, making this an ideal expansion for existing Horus Heresy collections or a substantial starting force for new players entering this specific tabletop wargaming period.
