Veterans Who've Seen It All — And Can Prove It
There's a moment in every Warhammer 40,000 game when you need a unit that doesn't just hold the line — it ends the conversation. Sternguard Veterans are that unit. Hand-picked from across a Chapter's companies, these battle-hardened warriors carry a breadth of special ammunition and hard-won experience that makes them one of the most tactically flexible infantry units the Space Marines can field. Putting them on the table isn't just a strategic decision; it's a statement.
What This Kit Is
Games Workshop's Sternguard Veteran Squad gives you ten of the Space Marines' most elite foot soldiers in a single plastic kit. These aren't your standard tactical marines — the Sternguard are veterans in every sense, and the sculpts reflect it. Each model carries the weight of campaigns survived and enemies put down, rendered in the kind of exquisitely detailed plastic that Games Workshop has built its reputation on. The kit offers meaningful assembly choices, letting you customize load-outs and poses to tell your squad's story on the tabletop.
On the battlefield, Sternguard Veterans excel at cracking hard targets that standard infantry simply can't threaten. Their special issue ammunition rules mean they punch well above their weight class across a variety of situations, and their Matched Play viability makes them a genuine staple rather than a flavour pick. For collectors, the ornate armour detailing — laurels, purity seals, campaign badges — makes these models deeply rewarding to paint.
Who This Is For
This kit is aimed at existing Warhammer 40,000 players building or expanding a Space Marines force, and at experienced hobbyists looking for a rewarding painting project. Assembly and painting of unbuilt plastic miniatures requires tools, glue, and paints sold separately. Not recommended as a first Warhammer purchase for newcomers — but for anyone already in the hobby, this squad earns its place in the collection and on the table.
What's in the Box
The kit includes ten multipart plastic miniatures with options to build a Sternguard Veteran Sergeant and a variety of weapon configurations across the squad. The sculpts feature intricate surface detail throughout — ornamental armour panels, veteran markings, and individualized equipment that rewards careful painting. A Citadel 32mm round base is included for each model. Assembly instructions are included; miniatures are supplied unpainted and unassembled.
