Editing Tactical Squad (section)

==Equipment==
All Tactical Marines wear the standard Space Marine [[Mark VII: Aquila/Imperator Armour|Mark VII Aquila Armour]], although certain chapters such as the [[Raven Guard]] and [[Iron Hands]] prefer the [[Mark VI: Corvus Armour|Mark VI Corvus Armour]] (also known as [[Beakie|Beakie Armour]]) and [[Mark IV: Maximus Armour|Mark IV Maximus Armour]] respectively, whilst other... poorer chapters like the [[Space Sharks|Carcharodons]] are forced to rely on the <s>older</s> bargain bin [[Mark V: Heresy Armour|Mark V Heresy Armour]]. Back in the [[Great Crusade]], Tactical Squads all wore [[Mark II: Crusade Armour|Mark II Crusade Armour]] and [[Mark III: Iron Armour|Mark III Iron Armour]], but by the time of the [[Horus Heresy]], these obsolete shits were being phased out by newer and more modern power armour, so it is very rare to see modern Space Marine chapters to house these older museum pieces nowadays.

Other than power armour, they carry a [[Bolt Pistol|bolt pistol,]] a [[Astartes Boltgun|boltgun,]] a [[Basic_Close_Combat_Weapons#Astartes Combat Knife|combat knife]], and [[Grenades & Explosives#Frag Grenade|frag]] or [[Grenades & Explosives#Krak Grenade|krak grenades]]. They may also be armed with a variety of [[Flamer#Flamer|Flamers]], [[Meltagun]]s, [[Grav-Gun]]s, [[Plasma Gun]]s, [[Heavy Bolter]]s, [[Lascannon]]s, [[Missile Launcher#Missile Launcher|Missile Launchers]], [[Multi-Melta]]s, and [[Plasma Cannon]]s. If you are a Space Marine Chapter with good relations with [[Forgeworld]] Graia, you may gain exclusive access to the [[Vengeance Grenade Launcher]] too. During the Great Crusade and the Horus Heresy, it was quite common to see at least half a squad of Tacticals wielding boltguns with [[Chain Weapon#Chainblade|chainblade]] attachments. By the 41st millennium, however, such attachments are rare.

The Space Marine Sergeant may also have melta bombs and a teleport homer, and can exchange his boltgun and/or bolt pistol for a [[Chainsword]], [[Combi-Melta]], [[Combi-Flamer]], [[Combi-Plasma]], [[Storm Bolter]], [[Grav-Pistol]], [[Plasma Pistol]], [[Power weapon]], or [[Powerfist]].
