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

Product Information

The build was pretty good despite being a lot of pieces per model, everything fit together securely even while the glue was setting which is something I have seen on some other GW infantry models. (I really wasn’t enjoying how many of my MkVI marines had their guns drop off when I looked away.) Rules for Boarding Actions can be found inside a new supplement coming to Warhammer 40,000 called Arks Of Omen. If standing with your fellow humans against all odds sounds like your cup of recaff, read on for the latest new Astra Militarum models, details of their lore and tactics, Warhammer 40k codex releases, and more. If you’ve just been introduced to a galaxy filled with near-immortal super-soldiers, intergalactic alien invaders, and actual demons and your first thought was, “Well what if I just wanted to play normal people?,” then Astra Militarum is the faction for you. The big Warhammer Day 2022 preview for Warhammer 40k and Kill Team is here from Warhammer TV and Warhammer Community, along with our commentary on all of it.

Gunnery Experts is the winner of the lot, it’s a generally applicable partner that pushes it above the core choices is Spotter Details which works well with your most important Russ loadouts, the Demolisher cannon. Jury-Rigged Repairs (below) is maybe interesting in a very chassis-heavy list, but like all vehicles without invulnerable saves, guard tanks tend to get fully eliminated one at a time by savvy opponents. Still, Gunnery Experts and Spotter Details is a good enough combo that it has seen play in competitive lists, with named regiments filling out detachments that are sporting infantry, so it is worth knowing about This desert world is beset by dust storms at all times, so it’s no wonder their Astra Militarum regiment has such an affinity for staying inside their tanks. Staying still on this hot world means death, which shows itself in their Regimental Doctrine Swift as the Wind. This rule lets your Infantry shoot their non-heavy weapons after moving as well as gets rid of any penalties for Vehicles which move and shoot. Their other rules also focus on movement, especially Vehicle movement, making them an ideal fit for a mobile tank division. For weaknesses we start by flipping one of their strengths; while their shooting is almost unmatched, the Imperial Guard, as an army, are vulnerable and weak in melee. In fact, the Astra Militarum do have some strong melee units – but they’re few and far between. Even the strongest Bullgryn melee units can’t stand toe-to-toe with armies that specialise in getting up close and personal, like Orks, Khorne Chaos Space Marines, or Tyranids. Warlord Trait – Uncompromising Prosecution: THETOID EAGLES units within 6″ of the warlord that fire hot-shot weapons get AP-4 on a 6 to wound. Weapon Expert: Improves the AP of turret weapons by 1. This is a nice improvement on most weapons. Also good on a punisher, helping make up for their price hike by charging them up. This has been downgraded a bit from our last update of Start Competing since it was hit particularly hard by the loss of Hammer of Sunderance (RIP 2019-2020). BWarlord Trait – Keys to the Armoury: Re-roll shooting hit rolls of 1 for LAMBDAN LION units within 6″ of the warlord. Stratagem – Gifts from the Mechanicus – 1CP: When a unit shoots, hot-shot weapons do a single mortal wound on a 6 to wound instead of their normal damage.

Alongside the new way of playing Warhammer 40,000, you'll also find some new gubbins to help theme a particular force. Basing kits and more have been previewed over on the Warhammer Community Blog showing off the ways you could make specific 500-point elite forces for use in Boarding Actions. Arks Of Omen - New Supplement! GW shied away from releasing any hard-and-fasttimings for upcoming codexes after that, as the underlying production issueshampering book releases persisted. Not to be left out, the stream also discussed the basic idea behind the new Imperial Guard Codex’s design. Regimental Doctrine is the new keyword that dictates how your guard army will differentiate how your Guard army fights vs. other Guard armies. Stratagem – Daring Descent – 1CP: When one of your units deep strikes it can drop anywhere more than 5″ away from the enemy instead of 9″. Relic – Blessed Bolt Pistol: Relic bolt pistol. Pistol 2, S5, AP-2, D2 and can snipe characters and has D3 against PSYKERs.We’ll have more details in upcoming guides but, for now, you shouldget hypedabout theNecrons’ new ‘Command Protocols’ mechanic. It’s a stone-cold brilliantaddition to Necron army-building,which, alongside the newly fleshed-outDynasty abilities,will add a touch of unpredictability to the round-by-round flow of a battle. Furious Charge – 1CP: After charging with an OGRYN unit, roll for each of your models within 1″ of the enemy and deal a MW on a 4+. Not a bad boost, and could be helpful to get the ball rolling if you’re sending your Bullgryn into something very tough or numerous, but can be a little challenging to set up with their large bases. C+

Regimental Doctrine – Grim Demeanor: INFANTRY units halve the number of models that flee, rounding up. VEHICLES count as having double their current number of wounds remaining for profile purposes.For example – do you love ranks of infantry standing firm and firing disciplined volleys in the face of mounting casualties? Choose the Cult of Sacrifice and Parade Drill doctrines to add a touch of die-hard Death Korps determination to the Mordian Iron Guard’s discipline. Regimental Doctrine – Industrial Efficiency: INFANTRY can rapid-fire at 18″ instead of half range. VEHICLES ignore AP-1. If you’re allergic to painting faces, I’m sure you could find some decent head swaps for these. A few models very noticeably have their sleeves rolled up, so you might need to get creative if you’re trying to dodge painting flesh at all. Field Ordnance Battery The planet of Krieg once suffered a civil war, with many trying to secede from the Imperium. Today, in shame, the Death Korps of Krieg attempt to make up for this betrayal by fighting harder, suffering more, and pushing themselves past fear in service of the Imperium. Their Regimental Doctrine reflects this, Cult of Sacrifice lets destroyed Vehicles or Characters shoot or fight once more before being removed from the table. Even when you think you’ve taken the Death Korps out, they still keep fighting. Not included in the army set, but revealed in Saturday’s stream and WarCom article, are the new Commissar and Heavy Weapons team models. We don’t yet know when these (or any further new Imperial Guard models) will be released, or their cost.
