The Horus Heresy: Heavy Weapons Upgrade Set – Missile Launchers and Heavy Bolters
This upgrade set lets you transform standard Legiones Astartes infantry into formidable heavy support. Missile launchers and heavy bolters are iconic weapons of the Age of Darkness, adding both battlefield impact and visual character to your army. A perfect choice if you want to get the most tactical value out of your infantry kits.
The Horus Heresy: Heavy Weapons Upgrade Set – Missile Launchers and Heavy Bolters
- Add iconic heavy weapons to your Legiones Astartes infantry with missile launchers and heavy bolters.
- Perfect for converting Tactical Squads into dedicated heavy support and expanding your army’s firepower options.
- Ideal for players and collectors who want more weapon variety without buying additional full kits.
What this upgrade set represents
This set provides heavy weapons for Legiones Astartes infantry – missile launchers and heavy bolters that can be mounted on your existing models. With them, you can turn standard Tactical Marines into dedicated support squads or specialised fire teams. It expands your army’s flexibility and helps you tailor your force to your preferred playstyle and legion theme.
Where this set fits in your army
This upgrade set is designed for Legiones Astartes infantry in the Horus Heresy era. It allows you to equip squads to better support your overall battle plan – whether that means holding objectives, suppressing enemy infantry or threatening light vehicles. It pairs perfectly with core infantry kits and expands their usefulness without needing to buy larger sets.
Why this set makes sense
- More weapon options – turn a single infantry kit into multiple specialised squad types.
- Reliable ranged support – missile launchers and heavy bolters help you control the battlefield from afar.
- Great for conversions – ideal for hobbyists who want unique squad layouts and legion‑themed builds.
Where these weapons shine
- Mechanicum and vehicle‑focused armies: Missile launchers help pressure lighter vehicles and mechanical targets, giving you tools to keep up with machine‑heavy forces.
- Infantry‑based legions: Heavy bolters excel at cutting down enemy infantry and holding firing lanes against massed Marines or lighter troops.
- How to get the most out of them: By combining missile launchers and heavy bolters, you cover a wide range of battlefield threats. If your army already includes strong anti‑tank units, use this set to reinforce your anti‑infantry firepower. If you lack versatile ranged support, these weapons become a core part of your strategy.
