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.
Channelling dark, primal energies that few truly understand, the Word Bearers Legion use forbidden lore to turn the power of the warp itself to their will and bind its denizens to their cause. Once the bearers of the light of the Emperor to the lost worlds of humanity, the Word Bearers have fallen far and fast. It is rumoured that the whispers of their High Chaplain Erebus started Horus on his path to Heresy, though the true extent of their new found power was not seen until their devastating assault on the Ultramarines Legion at Calth.
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 Word Bearers Legion, including twenty resin Word Bearers Legion MkIV Shoulder Pads, ten Word Bearers Legion Heads and five Word Bearers Legion torsos to mix throughout the squad.
