Action Figure – Iron Warriors MKII Assault Squad 1/18 – JOTYOY Warhammer The Horus Heresy

Group Identification: The Airborne Siege-Breakers

This breathtaking, highly detailed promotional image showcases a three-man squad of Iron Warriors MKII Assault Space Marines. Set in the legendary, grimdark sci-fi universe of Warhammer: The Horus Heresy, these figures are officially licensed products created through a collaboration between JOYTOY and Games Workshop.

They represent the brutal, uncompromising vanguard infantry of the IV Legion, completely outfitted in heavy, industrial Mark II “Crusade” Power Armor and towering Twin-Turbine Jump Packs. The armor is painted in the Legion’s signature cold iron-silver, heavily accented with bronze trim and the terrifying, hand-painted black and yellow hazard stripes.

Because this image features three distinct warriors deployed together on the battlefield, here is a detailed, one-by-one breakdown of each character from left to right:

Individual Character Profiles

1. Iron Warriors MKII Assault Legionary 1 (Left)

• Specific Name: Iron Warriors MKII Assault Legionary 1 with Chain Axe & Combat Shield

• Visual Details: Positioned on the left, this Legionary is armored in the classic banded MKII suit. His left kneepad bears the signature Iron Warriors hazard stripes, while his right shoulder pauldron is painted black.

• The Arsenal: He is posed aggressively mid-stride, wielding a vicious, motorized Chain Axe in his right hand and bearing a black and gold Combat Shield (decorated with the IV Legion skull emblem) on his left arm.

2. Iron Warriors MKII Assault Legionary 2 (Center)

• Specific Name: Iron Warriors MKII Assault Legionary 2 with Heavy Chain Axe

• Visual Details: Anchoring the center of the formation is the heavy executioner of the squad. He features hazard stripes on his left kneepad, while his right kneepad is painted black and boldly displays the white Roman numeral “IV”.

• The Arsenal: Unlike his shielded brothers, he relies on overwhelming two-handed stopping power. He wields a massive, two-handed Heavy Chain Axe with a long leather-wrapped haft, designed to cleave through bunker bulkheads and heavy enemy armor in a single, devastating swing.

3. Iron Warriors MKII Assault Sergeant (Right)

• Specific Name: Iron Warriors MKII Assault Sergeant with Power Maul & Combat Shield

• Visual Details: Leading the charge on the right is the squad’s veteran Sergeant. He can be distinguished by the unique bronze veteran plating on the center of his helmet. His hazard stripes are painted on his right kneepad.

• The Arsenal: He is equipped for lethal close-quarters command, wielding a heavy Power Maul in his right hand and carrying a protective Combat Shield on his left arm to deflect incoming anti-aircraft fire during an aerial drop.

Historical Background (Warhammer: The Horus Heresy Lore)

• The Franchise: Warhammer: The Horus Heresy is a massive science-fantasy universe by Games Workshop. It depicts a galaxy-spanning civil war where half of the Space Marine Legions turned traitor against the Emperor of Mankind, tearing the Imperium apart.

• The Iron Warriors (IV Legion): Recruited from the harsh, unforgiving world of Olympia and led by the Primarch Perturabo, the Iron Warriors are the undisputed masters of siege warfare, defensive fortifications, and artillery bombardment. They are cold, bitter, and highly pragmatic warriors who view war as a brutal mathematical equation, using their iconic hazard stripes to mark their most lethal wargear.

• The Assault Squad Role: While the Iron Warriors are famous for their long-range artillery, they are equally terrifying in brutal close-range assaults. Assault Squads are equipped with Jump Packs to act as the ultimate line-breakers. They launch themselves high into the air to bypass labyrinthine trench networks and towering fortress walls, crashing down to shatter the enemy from within using overwhelming force and heavy melee weaponry.
