Effective at closing distances quickly. Can be upgraded with a squad leader, stun grenades and anti-vehicle melta bombs.

Assault Squads (ASM) are Space Marine jump infantry units equipped with heavy armor, jump packs and close-combat weapons. Their Assault Jump entry provides a good combination of closing the distance and disruption, and they easily butcher any ranged infantry, but they will struggle against other melee specialists in a stand-up fight without use of their special abilities. The grenade upgrades provide added utility, allowing them to support anti-vehicle and anti-garrison actions.

The most expensive tier 1 unit in the game
Damage output is medium, but can take ranged fire fairly well, doing nicely in situations where both sides' melee participants are being shot at
Especially good synergy with the Apothecary
Facing melee specialists requires ranged support and using abilities
