Launch a devastating assault against the enemies of the Imperium with the Legiones Astartes Vanguard Battleforce for Warhammer: The Horus Heresy. Packed with MkVI Tactical Legionaries, jump pack-equipped Assault Marines, a powerful Legion Praetor, and heavily armored support vehicles, this limited-release boxed set is an excellent way to start a new Legiones Astartes army or expand an existing collection while saving compared to buying the kits separately.
The Legiones Astartes are the genetically enhanced warriors of the Space Marine Legions, fighting across the galaxy during the brutal civil war of the Horus Heresy. Vanguard formations specialize in rapid assaults, combining mobile infantry, fast transports, and armored firepower to break through enemy defenses and overwhelm key positions before their opponents can respond.
This boxed set builds 34 multipart plastic miniatures, including 20 MkVI Tactical Squad Legionaries to form a dependable infantry core and 10 MkVI Assault Squad Legionaries equipped with jump packs for fast-moving melee attacks.
Leading the force is a Legion Praetor with Power Sword, a powerful commander capable of directing his warriors into the thick of battle. A towering Contemptor Dreadnought provides devastating heavy support, while a Deimos Pattern Rhino offers armored transport for your infantry.
Rounding out the force is a Deimos Pattern Predator Battle Tank, bringing additional firepower to engage enemy infantry, armored vehicles, and other battlefield threats.
Perfect for starting a Legiones Astartes army, building a fast-moving Horus Heresy assault force, or adding versatile infantry and armored support to an existing collection, this Battleforce delivers a powerful combination of mobility, firepower, and close-combat aggression.
The included miniatures feature no Legion-specific sculpted markings, allowing them to be used in any Legiones Astartes force, whether loyal to the Emperor or fighting for the Warmaster.

Questions answered
Second-Wave FAQ
What is a Second-Wave preorder?
A Second-Wave preorder reserves an item from additional stock secured after the initial allocation. These orders follow a later shipping timeline than standard preorders.
When will my Second-Wave preorder ship?
Second-Wave preorders typically begin shipping 3–5 business days after the release date, as stock arrives, in the order received. This is a shipping window, not a delivery estimate. Business days are Monday through Friday.
Will combining Second-Wave preorders with other items delay my order?
Yes. Your order is held until every item is available, unless you selected an available split-shipping option at checkout. In-stock items and standard preorders will wait for your Second-Wave items, while backordered items may cause additional delays. Place separate orders if you need other items sooner.
Can I cancel or return a Second-Wave preorder?
No. All Second-Wave preorders are final sale and cannot be canceled or returned. Please review your selections and the shipping timeline carefully before placing your order.
