Legiones Astartes: MKVI Tactical Squad

The MKVI Tactical Squad is the backbone of any Legiones Astartes force, and it’s hard to imagine a Horus Heresy army without them. Clad in the iconic MKVI ‘Corvus’ Power Armour, these legendary “Beakies” combine classic Space Marine aesthetics with battlefield versatility, making them a favourite for collectors, painters, and players alike. Whether you’re building the core of a new Legion or expanding an existing force, this kit offers incredible flexibility and plenty of opportunities for customisation.

Product Features:

Build 20 Legionaries: Assemble 20 Space Marine Legionaries that can be fielded as a single 20-model Tactical Squad or split into two squads of 10 for greater tactical flexibility.

Classic MKVI ‘Corvus’ Armour: Equip your warriors in the distinctive beaked power armour that became synonymous with the latter years of the Great Crusade and the Horus Heresy.

Customisable Wargear: Every Legionary carries an Umbra-pattern bolter and bolt pistol, with the option to add standard bayonets or brutal chain bayonets for close combat. The kit also includes components to build Legion vexillas, nuncio-voxes, and augury scanners.

Sergeant Upgrade Options: Build up to two Legion Tactical Sergeants with a wide range of weapon choices, including plasma pistols, power swords, power fists, and lightning claws to personalise your squad leaders.

Ideal for Conversions: With no sculpted Legion-specific markings, these miniatures are perfect for painting as any of the 18 Space Marine Legions. A transfer sheet with 293 decals for the Sons of Horus and Imperial Fists provides additional finishing touches.

Multiple Unit Possibilities: With the appropriate upgrade sets (sold separately), these miniatures can also be used to build Veteran Tactical Squads, Tactical Support Squads, Heavy Support Squads, Despoiler Squads, and Legion Command Squads.
