Warhammer 40K Vanguard Task Force – 17 Plastic Space Marines | Games Workshop

Meet the Warhammer 40K Vanguard Task Force, a carefully curated squad designed to bring stealth and mobility to your Space Marines roster. This set assembles 17 plastic models, including a Lieutenant leader optimized for special ops, all clad in silent Phobos armour and joined by flying Suppressors. The result is a striking, cohesive force that looks as ready for a tabletop ambush as it does for a narrative scene in your hive city diorama. This collection invites you to imagine tense covert insertions, quick flanks, and precise, deliberate advances that keep the opposing commander guessing.
