Many of the Legiones Astartes favour MkIV “Maximus” pattern power armour, a distinctive design marked by squared knee guards, slim-edged shoulder plates, and helmets featuring elongated faceplates with angled ventilation slits. This pattern is widely recognised for its balance of protection, mobility, and battlefield reliability.

A Balanced Strike Force

This heavily packed boxed set is an ideal way to begin a new Legiones Astartes army or expand an existing collection for Warhammer: The Horus Heresy, offering excellent value compared to purchasing the kits individually. It assembles a well-rounded force built for versatility, combining elite infantry with powerful armoured support.

At its core are MkIV Tactical Legionaries and MkIV Assault Legionaries, providing flexible infantry options for holding ground and launching aggressive close-quarters attacks. These are reinforced by a Sicaran Battle Tank delivering fast-moving armoured fire support, and a Contemptor Dreadnought offering devastating battlefield presence and adaptability. Together, they form a cohesive and balanced force capable of responding to a wide range of battlefield threats.

This boxed set builds 32 multipart plastic Legiones Astartes miniatures:

• 20 MkIV Tactical Legionaries
• 2 Horus Heresy Tactical Marine accessory frames
• 10 MkIV Assault Legionaries
• 1 Sicaran Battle Tank
• 1 Contemptor Dreadnought

Customisation Options

The MkIV Tactical Squad allows for extensive configuration, including the option to build up to two Sergeants armed with plasma pistols and a choice of power fist, lightning claw, or power sword. Up to two Legionaries can be equipped with nuncio-vox systems, and another two may carry vexilla. The kit includes a wide selection of interchangeable heads, shoulder pads, and accessories, and is compatible with Horus Heresy Tactical Marine upgrade components. It can also be assembled as a Veteran Tactical Squad.

The MkIV Assault Squad includes options to build a Sergeant equipped with dual melee weapons or a mixed loadout of melee and ranged armament. The kit also features interchangeable helmets, bare heads, shoulder pads, power lance upgrades, and additional accessories for personalisation.

The Sicaran Battle Tank is equipped with accelerator autocannons and a hull-mounted heavy bolter, with sponson options including heavy bolters, heavy flamers, lascannons, or volkite culverins. Additional upgrades include pintle-mounted weapon options such as havoc launcher, heavy bolter, heavy flamer, multi-melta, or combi-weapon configurations, alongside cosmetic and functional additions such as a searchlight, hunter-killer missile, towing equipment, dozer blade, and crew configuration options.

The Contemptor Dreadnought offers a vast array of weapon choices, including multiple ranged armaments such as conversion beam cannon, autocannons, lascannons, melta and plasma systems, and volkite weaponry. It also features interchangeable melee dreadnought fists, optional integrated weapons, and further upgrades including carapace-mounted systems and head-mounted targeting arrays. A wide range of cosmetic parts allows for extensive visual customisation.

These miniatures are not Legion-specific, allowing them to be fielded in any Legiones Astartes force, whether Loyalist or Traitor.
