Tactical squads are the mainstay of the Space Marine Legions and the force by which the Great Crusade reconquered much of the galaxy. Armed and armoured for battle in the harshest of environments the Legion Tactical squad is a highly flexible infantry unit, able to attack or defend at will, assault heavily fortified positions and take and hold strategic objectives. Tactical squads were employed by all eighteen of the Space Marine Legions, and usually as full squads of twenty Marines.
The most honoured of the Legions in the early days of the Great Crusade, the Emperor’s Children wore the Emperor’s own standard, the Palatine Aquilla. The IIIrd Legion’s quest for perfection became twisted into a hunger for excess, corrupting the Legion and setting them on the path to treachery. The Legion brought their martial skill to the Warmasters banner, executing lightning quick assaults of exemplary strategic planning and flawless execution on those Legions still loyal to the Emperor.
This multi-part resin and plastic set contains the components necessary to assemble a twenty-man Legion Tactical Squad in Mark IV power armour for the Emperor’s Children Legion, including twenty resin Emperor’s Children Legion MkIV Shoulder Pads, ten Emperor’s Children Legion Heads and five Emperor’s Children Legion torsos to mix throughout the squad. The kit also includes an impressive selection of optional weapons and wargear such as combat blades, ammo packs, holstered bolt pistols, frag and krak grenades and several weapon options for the squad sergeant. Supplied with twenty 32mm round bases.
