Product detailed description
| Battlefield role | Unique features | Difficulty | Tip for players |
|---|---|---|---|
| Durable infantry for close combat, fortress breaches, and holding objectives | Boarding shields (high durability), optional graviton gun and lascutter, specialists in the unit | Medium – easy to deploy in battle, more equipment options during assembly | Use them as the army’s “shield” at the front and advance your fire support behind them |
Legiones Astartes: Breacher Squad
Heavily armoured Space Marines designed for the toughest close-combat engagements – boarding actions on voidships, fortress breaches, and fighting in narrow corridors. Thanks to boarding shields, they can withstand fire that would wipe out standard Tactical squads and safely advance forward.
About the unit
The Breacher Squad represents elite Legiones Astartes infantry, trained for combat in hazardous conditions where there is no room to fall back. The kit offers high variability – a sergeant with optional weapons, specialists, and heavier equipment for breaking through enemy defences.
