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

Product Information

Rol Cheap though accessing them is, really only two of these matter – you aren’t going to put guard psykers in your list if what you want is psychic firepower, certainly not now that Inquisitors exist. Psychic Barrier and Nightshroud are both good stuff though – if you’re bringing Bullgryn or a Super Heavy you want these in your list, and even if you just have Tank Commanders or Pask being able to access them via a 35pt elite slot is such a low cost (while giving you a deny in your castle) that it’s frequently worth it. It turns out that you need quite a few Detachments to fit all those characters in, but we managed it – thanks in large part to a Patrol of Catachans creating space in Ursula Creed’s Battalion. This army shows off the diverse options available to Astra Militarum players, from Death Korps infantry to Attilan cavalry ,*** and will turn some heads when this many egos take to the field at once. The Death Korps of Krieg don’t have as many rules as the other regiments but have their own Doctrine in the Imperial Armour Compendium that’s worth pointing out here. You’re never taking this trait unless your force to for playing Death Korps, which is great news because it’s really terrible. There are 51 datasheets, including rules for the magnificent new Szarekh, the Silent Kingmodel, as well as theNecrons’numerous other glorious new models, all their new armyrules, Crusade content and other nuts and bolts.

Spotter Details: Increase the range of heavy weapons with a range of 24″ or more by 6″. This is a partial version of the Vostroyan trait, and it can be combined with Gunnery Experts to give a vehicle-boosting trait that’s a bit more applicable to a full army, at the cost of losing access to the stratagem. However, isn’t needed for lots of the guns in the army, so taking this can be wasteful unless you tailor it to it. B+ GW shied away from releasing any hard-and-fasttimings for upcoming codexes after that, as the underlying production issueshampering book releases persisted. Concentrated Fire – 1CP: A Heavy Weapon Squad gets +1 to hit and wound against a single target but all have to target it. Boy is that a hefty boost, yowza – the obvious place to put this is on a Lascannon team, where it leaves them wounding anything they shoot on 2s, and probably hitting on 3s re-rolling 1s (or even better if they’re Cadian). Heavy Weapon teams with good guns have always been unreliable glass cannons and thus not appeared in lists, but removing the “unreliable” from that equation is a serious draw to include one squad. Any strat powerful enough to make a bad unit good has to get at least a B+ and that seems like a good spot for this – the three model cap still puts a ceiling on it, but the power is there. Draconian Disciplinarian: Re-roll failed morale within 6″. It is utterly trivial to get access to this effect at a much cheaper price by taking a Commissar, so it isn’t worth using a slot on. D

Armoured Rush: This lets you shoot your turret guns after advancing. It’s pretty cool, and honestly only loses out because there are other ways to boost your mobility, and because other choices do more. B

Grinding Advance: Allows Leman Russ Battle Tanks to fire their turret weapon twice if they’ve remained stationary or moved under half their movement speed. 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. Warlord Trait – Precision Targeting: Choose an enemy within 18″ of the warlord at the start of your shooting phase. IOTAN DRAGON units within 6″ ignore cover when shooting that unit. Regimental Doctrine – Heirloom Weapons: Add 6″ to the range of rapid-fire and heavy weapons with a base range of 24″ or more.

Astra Militarum Combat Patrol

Also, I am fully on board when it comes to the larger artillery pieces that we're seeing. They seem totally on brand for the Astra Militarum.
