Assault Squad

Space Marines · Produced at the Chapel-Barracks

Jump-pack infantry that closes ground fast and forces a fight where the enemy did not want one.

When to build

Against ranged armies that want to hold a line, and to punish exposed support units.

When not to build

Into massed melee infantry — they will be outnumbered and ground down.

Key targets

Artillery · Heavy weapon squads · Isolated builders

Main risks

Arrives alone if the jump is mistimed · Poor against heavy armour
