Magpie Guardian Elites

Shadow-craft is the whole doctrine here: close the distance unseen, kill the command element, be gone before the alarm carries. These veterans wear the sleek, close-fitting plate favoured by Chapters that prefer to fight from the dark, jump packs slung ready, heraldry kept deliberately quiet — no banners, no gilt, nothing that catches a searchlight. Sculpted at 28mm heroic scale as a proxy for Raven Guard-style veteran squads, the set comes as a multi-part kit, which gives you room to build a unit that reads as a group of individuals rather than a rank of identical troopers. The poses lean into the assault: descending, landing, closing. They belong on grimdark tables where the Imperium's stealth Chapters get a look-in, and they sit happily beside an existing marine force that already has more than enough parade-ground gold in it.
