Editing Assault Squad (section)

==Equipment==
All assault marines wear the standard space marine [[Mark VII: Aquila/Imperator Armour|Mark VII: Aquila Armour]] (Although some Chapters like the [[Raven Guard]] opt for the [[Mark VI: Corvus Armour]] instead) and carry a [[chainsword]], [[Bolt Pistol|bolt pistol]] and [[Grenades & Explosives#Frag Grenade|frag]] or [[Grenades & Explosives#Krak Grenade|krak grenades]]. Back in the [[Horus Heresy]] the Assault Squad was one of the most effected units when it came to equipment. In the beginning, the [[Mark IV: Maximus Armour]] was the standard, but ''very quickly'', the [[Mark V: Heresy Armour]] immediately took over as the Maximus was getting wrecked left to right due to the Assault marine's profession in getting real close and personal. 

The majority of assault squads will equip themselves with [[jump pack]]s, but those who do not go into battle by either transport or drop pod. Some members in the squad (typically 2) will be armed with either [[Plasma Pistol|plasma pistols]] or [[Flamer#Flamer|flamers.]] Blood Angels and their successor chapters assault marines can additonally be armed with [[Hand Flamer|hand flamers]] and/or [[Inferno Pistol|infernus pistols.]] 

The space marine sergeant may also take melta bombs, and can exchange his chainsword and/or bolt pistol for a [[combi-weapon]], combat shield, [[Grav-Pistol|grav-pistol,]] [[Plasma Pistol|plasma pistol,]] [[Chain weapon#Eviscerator|eviscerator,]] [[power weapon]], [[powerfist]], storm shield, [[Thunder Hammer|thunder hammer]] and either one or a pair of [[Lightning Claws|lightning claws.]]
