The Horus Heresy is the bloodiest conflict humanity has ever known, a galactic civil war in which Space Marines of the Legiones Astartes turn devastating weapons upon those they once called brothers.

Always in the thickest of the fighting, Legion Tactical squads are highly flexible infantry units, able to attack or defend at will, assault heavily fortified positions, and take and hold strategic objectives. A wide array of war machines, such as the Deredeo pattern Dreadnought and the Land Raider Proteus, would often support these ranks.

Start a new Legiones Astartes army or easily add to an existing one with this packed boxed set. It includes 30 Space Marine Legionaries, a Deredeo Dreadnought, and a mighty Land Raider Proteus for you to unleash on the battlefields of the Age of Darkness.

The 30 Space Marine Legionaries included are clad in MKIII 'Iron' power armour and come with numerous options for you to personalise your squads. You can also add some extra firepower by converting your troops into Legionary Support Squads, thanks to the Legion Special Weapon frame included.

Back up your infantry with the awesome firepower of the Deredeo Dreadnought – Anvilus Configuration. You can assemble it with either an infantry-shredding anvilus autocannon battery or an armour-rending hellfire plasma cannonade.

You can also get your troops where they need to be with the Land Raider Proteus, which you can assemble as either a Land Raider Proteus Carrier, with a frontal assault ramp for delivering your infantry, or a Land Raider Proteus Explorator, with a dozer blade for traversing broken terrain.

There are two Legiones Astartes Infantry Transfer Sheets included, along with two Legiones Astartes Vehicle Transfer Sheets. These transfer sheets each offer you a selection of optional markings and iconography for the Sons of Horus and Imperial Fists Legions.
