About this deal

Adding 1 to wound rolls is a welcome addition to the fight against CHAOS – whether your soldiers are gunning down warp-shielded daemons or blood-crazed Space Marines. NIGHTSHROUD – Blessing: warp charge 6. select one friendly ASTRA MILITARUM unit within 12″ of this PsYKER. That unit gains transhit Now to compare the profiles! With four more wounds and another toughness, this should be much harder to bring down. There are a lot of Strength 4 and Strength 8 weapons out there, so should really swing some of those rolls in your favor. Battlefield Request: Costs 1 CP. Select a Sgt or Watchmaster model in your army and give them 1 of the following relics: Claw of the Desert Tigers, Barbicants Key, The Emperors Fury, Relic of Lost Cadia.

Clad in the finest carapace armour, these special forces have more skills than your standard Astra Militarum trooper, and are able to cut down their enemies with volleys from their hot-shot lasguns. 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 . Thunderous charge: Costs 1 CP. Use on Ogryns or Rough Riders when they have finished a charge. Select 1 enemy unit within engagement range. Roll 1 D6 for each Ogryn or Rough Rider in Engagement range, for each roll that equals or beats the enemy Toughness, they suffer 1 Mortal Wound. Overall, this is pretty cool, but all the regiments of the Imperial Guard were something that made them stand apart. Still, this is better for gamers as you don’t have to spend tons of cash on older models just to play with their regiment. Regimental TacticsRecon operators – Cavalry and sentinel units get a pre-game move that must end further than 9 inches away from the enemy. Obviously, it was Lord Solar Leonatus on the cover of the Imperial Guard codex. While some thought GW might be trolling us with that one, it turned out true! In addition to tripod-mounted heavy weapons, Astra Militarum regiments have begun wheeling larger artillery pieces to the front lines. Equipped with large-bore cannons, multi-missile launchers, or heavy, overcharged lascannons, Field Ordnance Batteries are the most powerful man-portable assets available. As we’ve seen from Captain Messinius, capes are very fashionable in the 41st Millennium. With a similarly stoic pose to the legendary Knight Commander Pask – or a brandished sword, if you prefer to drive your tank closer – this decorated Cadian officer fits perfectly into the hatch of a Rogal Dorn Battle Tank, giving it the prestige to get exactly where it needs to be.

Here’s how to play Imperial Guard from their 9th edition Warhammer 40k Codex including their latest rules and models.Best artilery unit now is a basilisk I guess and you need to heavily invest into it to make it competitively viable where you could have just taken a leman russ regardless.

The rumors were for this to be bigger than a Leman Russ but smaller than a Baneblade, and from the pictures, it looks like this is exactly what we’re getting! Then, the Melta tip is super powerful, with D3 and -4 AP. This is also a huge upgrade, as the Melta Tips used to be single-use. It doesn’t seem like that anymore! Well, not yet, at least… Instead of constraining you to a single specific regiment, the new codex has you mix and match tactics to create your favourite flavour of Guardsmen. All you need to do is choose a pair of Regimental Doctrines to dictate how they fight. These doctrines represent traits like superior artillery skills, high-quality armour, impressive discipline amongst the ranks, or experience in guerilla warfare. Wearied by the horrors of war and the Imperium’s brutal demands, the Lord Solar knows that he may never see the fruits of his tireless efforts. Nevertheless, he continues to lead from the front – armed with his pistol Sol’s Righteous Gaze, and his power sword Conquest.As you can see, the rumors seem right as it’s more or less right in-between on size, making the Leman Russ look sort of small, but it’s quite smaller than the Baneblade. Hopefully it will be a decent amount cheaper money-wise than the Baneblade, but we’ll just have to wait and see on that… The relics also feel meh because again there are a lot of combat options for characters that shouldn’t be in combat. Straken is the only super combat monster in this book and you can’t give him a Relic so it feels off to have so many weird things. Again this points to having Relics cost X points versus a CP as you always have 5-10 points left laying around which would be convenient to throw on a Sarge or Commander. That poor Relic Plasma Pistol we always see left in the Relic box would show up more if it just cost a few points. I won't even buy the codex I don't think, but I would have bought if it was released on it's own last year. His steed Konstantin* is decades old, now largely cybernetic and clad in gleaming armour. From this lofty perch, Arcadian Leontus commands the men and women of the Astra Militarum as they endure horrifying battles in their mission to protect the Imperium from the heretic, the mutant, and the alien.

Overall the book seems decent and we really can’t figure out how busted it could be until everything is set up with their Dataslate. Will they keep the whole wounds counting as 6, and just what shows up a ton for the AM book? This could be a return of Leaf Blower with more Leman Russes than anything else. I also wonder how some of this might let GSC get some fun stuff in their armies too. We’ll just have to wait and see. I’m just happy to see this book come out even though the looming threat of 10th edition nears closer and closer. Getting the weapons put in the cost is always nice, but it also gets an increase in toughness which can be super powerful, and then it gets 30 wounds! These will be harder than ever to bring down, so roll your tanks into battle!Tanks! We love them, you love them, and most importantly, the Astra Militarum loves them. That’s why the upcoming codex has a new one to show off – the Rogal Dorn – and it’s a beast. Some pictures would be nice, but again, more references are always a good thing when looking at rumors. Now, let’s look at the rest. Regimental Doctrines With so many new players coming to play Astra Militarum and Warhammer 40K, plus returning players for 10th Edition… I should revisit the Astra Militarum beginner’s guide. If you are new here, my name is Jake, and I have been playing Imperial Guard (Astra Militarum) for a decade, since Warhammer 40K 7th Edition. Welcome to the Guard! If you are competitive, you will have a decent grasp of the game after playing it at 1,000 points and will know what works and what does not. For example, adding 15 Ratlings to your force is probably not the way to go.
