The Tactical Squad is the main multi-purpose infantry of the Karak Overlord Coalition. Planned to be voiced by Brian Dobson, reprising his Space Marine voice from Dawn of War.

History
The Legion Tactical Squad, the pre-cursor to the Tactical Squad of the Current Era, was a tactical formation of the ancient Space Marine Legions used during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy eras in the long gone past some time after the Chronicle. These squads were the mainstay of the Legiones Astartes and the force by which the Great Crusade reconquered much of the Horde-ridden Durin Mountains for the Coalition and the Votann.

The Warmaster Horus remarked on several occasions that there were few challenges of war that could not be met by, or did not require, the use of such units. It was by the fighting power of thousands of transhuman warriors such as these, armed and armored for battle in the harshest of environments and the deadliest war zones, that the enemies of the Coalition were crushed time and again.

One of the Space Marine Legion's greatest assets in open battle was the massed, coordinated hail of bolter fire its Legion Tactical Squads could unleash. Such was the firepower of this storm of explosive shells that enemy infantry formations and even squadrons of light vehicles would be blasted to the four winds in a single thunderous volley of bolt shells.

In the (insert date) V.C., Tactical Squads of the Adeptus Astartes are the most numerous and strategically versatile warriors in a Space Marine Chapter. Where an objective must be seized, it is the Tactical Squads that attack in a storm of gunfire and combat blades. Where the line must be held, these courageous warriors plant their feet, raise their weapons, and fight to the last.

Armed with bolters, grenades, and Codex Astartes-approved heavy and special weapons, Tactical Squads are superbly versatile strategic assets. Yet their greatest weapons are their indomitable spirit and their solar decades of combat experience -- invaluable virtues that combine with the battle-kins' fearsome arsenal and superhuman physiques to render them amongst the greatest warriors in the galaxy.
