Legiones Astartes: Maximus Battle Group (Warhammer: The Horus Heresy)
MkIV 'Maximus' power armour — the most widely used battle plate among the Legiones Astartes during the Age of Darkness — finally joins the plastic Horus Heresy range in force. The Maximus Battle Group is a 32-model box built around a balanced combined-arms Legiones Astartes force, anchored by brand new MkIV infantry kits and supported by a Sicaran Battle Tank and Contemptor Dreadnought. Whether you're starting a new Legion from scratch or reinforcing an existing collection, this is one of the most complete starting points the Horus Heresy range has offered — at a significant saving compared to buying the kits separately.
On the tabletop in Warhammer: The Horus Heresy, this box covers the core roles any Legiones Astartes list needs — 20 Tactical Legionaries to hold ground and trade fire, 10 Assault Legionaries with the option to build as Veteran Assault Marines armed with power lances for a real melee threat, a Sicaran Battle Tank delivering mobile fire support with its accelerator autocannon battery, and a Contemptor Dreadnought with one of eight ranged weapon options to fill whatever fire support role your list requires. All models have no Legion-specific markings, making them valid for any force, loyalist or traitor.
