Warhammer 40K Space Marines Infernus Squad

TAG     : Warhammer 40K Space Marines Infernus Squad
GAME : Warhammer 40K

In the relentless and brutal universe of Warhammer 40,000, the Infernus Squad represents a specialized unit within the Space Marine Chapters, dedicated to the use of flame-based weaponry to cleanse the enemies of the Emperor. These elite warriors are masters of close-quarters combat and are often deployed in situations where their unique skills and equipment can turn the tide of battle.

The Infernus Squad is typically composed of seasoned Space Marines who have demonstrated exceptional skill in the use of incendiary weapons. They are often drawn from the ranks of Tactical or Assault Squads and undergo additional training to master the art of flame warfare. Their primary role is to engage enemy infantry, fortifications, and vehicles with the devastating power of fire, embodying the purifying wrath of the Emperor.

Infernus Squads are characterized by their specialized equipment and combat tactics. Key features include:

Flame Weaponry: The hallmark of the Infernus Squad is their use of flame-based weapons, such as:

Flamers: These weapons unleash a torrent of fire, incinerating enemy troops and causing panic among their ranks. Flamers are particularly effective against infantry and can clear out entrenched positions.

Heavy Flamers: Some members of the squad may be equipped with heavy flamers, which deliver an even more devastating stream of fire, capable of engulfing multiple targets in a single sweep.

Inferno Pistols: In addition to their primary weapons, Infernus Squads may also carry inferno pistols, allowing them to engage enemies at close range with deadly efficiency.

Close Combat Specialists: Infernus Squads excel in close-quarters combat, often engaging enemies in tight spaces where their flame weapons can be most effective. They are trained to use their weapons in conjunction with melee combat, making them formidable opponents in any engagement.

Tactical Flexibility: While their primary focus is on flame warfare, Infernus Squads are also trained to adapt to various combat scenarios. They can provide support to other units, hold objectives, or engage in direct assaults against enemy positions.

Infernus Squads serve several critical roles in a Space Marine force:

Area Denial: The presence of an Infernus Squad can deny areas of the battlefield to the enemy. Their ability to unleash torrents of flame can force opponents to reposition, creating openings for other units to exploit.

Clearing Objectives: In scenarios where enemy forces are entrenched, Infernus Squads are invaluable for clearing out enemy infantry and fortifications. Their flame weapons can devastate enemy positions, allowing Space Marine forces to secure key objectives.

Psychological Warfare: The sight and sound of an Infernus Squad unleashing their flamers can instill fear in the hearts of the enemy. The destructive power of fire serves as a potent psychological weapon, demoralizing opposing forces and disrupting their plans.

The legacy of the Infernus Squad is one of purification and relentless zeal. As elite warriors of the Adeptus Astartes, they embody the Emperor's wrath, using fire as a tool to cleanse the galaxy of heresy and corruption.

In the lore of Warhammer 40K, Infernus Squads represent the fierce determination of the Space Marines to protect humanity at all costs. Their stories are filled with acts of bravery and sacrifice, as they charge into battle, flames roaring, ready to deliver the Emperor's judgment upon the enemies of mankind. As they advance, Infernus Squads stand as a testament to the indomitable spirit of the Space Marines, prepared to face any challenge that lies ahead.

This multipart plastic kit builds 10 Infernus Marines, armed with pyreblasters for flushing foes out of cover. These push-fit models include a variety of different poses, braced to fire their lethal flame weapons. Two of the Infernus Marines also offer a choice of bare heads or helmets, as well as cosmetic arm options, allowing you to field them as Sergeants for your Infernus Squads.

This kit comprises 74 plastic components, and comes with 10x Citadel 32mm Round Hex Hole Bases. These push-fit miniatures can be assembled without glue, and are supplied unpainted – we recommend using Citadel Colour paints.
