The new MKVI Space Marines Assault Squad is getting a complete rework for Horus Heresy, which was revealed at the World Championships of Warhammer preview!
This is what Warhammer TV and Warhammer Community had to say about the new Jump Pack Marines, along with our commentary on it as well!
Jump Pack Assault Marines Coming Soon For the Horus Heresy!
Clad in sleek Corvus power armour built to incorporate a powerful jump pack, these aggressive Legionaries are a favourite of the speedier Legions. As a Line unit that can move 12″ with their jump packs active, they excel at capturing objectives deep within enemy lines.
Considering the Primaris Marines just got some jump packs, GW couldn’t leave the older dudes without something!
They went with beaky head for all the minis, and to be honest, that just feels right for jump-pack dudes!
Much like their comrades in the MKVI Tactical Squad, this box of 10 plastic Assault Marines includes a variety of poses and accessories. You’ll also find enough combat shields for the entire squad, plus options for the Assault Sergeant – including a choice of helmeted and unhelmeted heads, a melta bomb, a power fist, and lightning claws for both hands.
You’ll get ten models in the kits, but we’re not sure how many options there will be. As they just say a few options in the WC post.
The shield is really the only extra option they showed (other than the leader), but they do look really cool!
