Games Workshop - Warhammer 40,000 - Astra Militarum Army Set (ENGLISH)

Product Information

The box of 29 minis contained a small forcefor each faction, and two brand new character miniatures to lead them: Castellan Crowe for the daemon-hunting Grey Knights, and the new Infernal Master character model for the Egyptian-loving warp wizards. it followed a similar template to the Beast Snagga launch: the boxed set was available for a short time and included a limited-edition copy of the new codex, which released independently a few weeks after. Thenew T’au Empire codex arrived next, in early February, followed bythe Eldar codex in March; Tyranidsin April; and both Imperial Knightsand Chaos Knights in May.

Rules for fielding Doom Scythes and Night Scythes can be found in the Aeronautica Imperialis Companion . Resplendent in golden armour atop his cybernetic horse Konstantin, Lord Solar Leontus is effectively the new ‘big boss’ of the Imperial Guard. This mobile firepower makes the Cadian Shock Troops excellent for claiming distant objectives, with a fusillade of lasfire that scores an extra hit for each hit roll of 6. The new age of the Astra Militarum begins with the Cadia Stands Army Set, stuffed with entirely new models, an achingly beautiful codex, and plenty of datacards.They’ve been upscaled to 28mm bases rather than 25s to differentiate them a bit more from your line troopers. There are concrete ways to differentiate between the varieties of sentinels available, but it looks like the box will make two kits. We’ve already seen the armoured variant of the Sentinel– revealed alongside the new Lord Castellan of Cadia , Ursula Creed – but the kit also makes a classic Scout Sentinel complete with open canopy and chainsaw attachment. As per previous faction army sets, like the Leagues of Votann and Chaos Knights before them, we’d expect to see a fair bit more detailed info on the constituent models and the new codex coming from GW over the coming weeks.

Redsnot is proud of his position as least-worst grot, so when Runtherd Killaskun dies, he thinks it’s his chance to really show his mettle. The Dark Angels supplement – the fourth such Space Marine chapter supplement – features custom-made “datasheets, Warlord Traits, Relics, and a Psychic Discipline, as well as a suite of Crusade campaign rules that represent the sombre quest of the Unforgiven”, according to GW. There are many rules and tactics that make the Astra Militarum a compelling force to choose on the battlefield, and, like all the other Warhammer 40k armies, there are a few weaknesses to look out for, too. The legs are probably the closest visual element with everything else striking the same notes but with a distinctly modern spin. Fresh troops need a new Commissar to watch over them, and this stern individual will make sure the Cadians become the best soldiers they can be – or die trying.Fortunately I don’t really see a need to do a pile of these, I guess you might do a few alt loadouts for stuff like the veteran and the commander but that’s about it.

Synaptic Imperatives give your swarms adaptability in battle, while customisable Hive Fleet subfactions further your flexibility. We won’t know just how these freedoms will play with the rest of the new Astra Militarum codex (or whether mixing and matching regimental units will introduce other limitations in your army rules) until we see the book in the flesh – and, as normal, the army set itself will be your first chance to get hold of it.

Thesupplement, like its siblings, provided army-specific datasheets, rules, and bespoke Crusade content for the Space Wolveschapter of Space Marines. Featuring enough guns to make the Orks even greener with envy, this mighty assemblage of Cadian might is led by the Lord Castellan herself, Ursula J Creed . While the new model seemed to divide fan opinion somewhat with its deliberately static, unexciting pose, we tend to think a defiant, ramrod-straight back fits the profile of these ruthless political officers well. Some of our partners may process your data as a part of their legitimate business interest without asking for consent. Acceptable Losses, for 1CP, allows you to fire on units locked in melee combat with your own troops, so long as they have the Platoon keyword (your mainline infantry squads, we presume) or the Grim Demeanour doctrine keyword.
