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

Product Information

The Psychic Awakening: The Greater Good supplement gifted the Guard new Tank Ace upgrades to beef up your key vehicles, as well as rules for creating your own custom Regimental Doctrines. And the Imperial Armour Compendium, whilst mainly focusing on Forge World models, has plenty of rules that can be used in conjunction with your Astra Militarum force. For example, if you’re looking at building a Death Korps of Krieg army then the included Regimental Doctrine for them is well worth paying attention to. An industrial world, Vostroya has close links to the Mechanicus and Mars in particular. Their weapons tend to be well-maintained, out-performing other Imperial Guard regiments under similar circumstances. Their Regimental Doctrine, Heirloom Weapons, is the perfect example of this. It adds 6 inches to the range of rapid-fire and heavy weapons which have a base range of over 24 inches, making nowhere safe from a well-equipped Vostroyan force. Splash Damage – 1CP: A HELLHOUND can re-roll wounds against a unit in cover with its main gun. The boost here is just way too small – it’s conditional and isn’t going to affect enough shots to be worth the point most of the time. D+

Valhallan: Fire on My Command! –Allows you to shoot targets that are within Engagement Range of friendly units, but any 1s you roll to hit scores a hit on one of your friendly units within Engagement Range. You can’t use this to shoot with a unit that is itself in Engagement Range of an enemy unit. While none of the regiments are outright bad, this is one of the slightly weaker ones simply because it doesn’t lean in that well to what Scions are trying to do. The redeploy is cute, but given it doesn’t allow you to pull units into deep strike it would mostly be good on Tauroxes, which are overpriced at the moment. The strat is mostly aimed at them too. The doctrine is extremely swingy – sometimes it’s actually great, but will also sometimes do nothing, and you generally want an ability that’s going to be useful most of the time from a faction trait. The relic is hilarious but doesn’t ultimately pull these up for competitive play. 32nd Thetoid Eagles Agile Fighters: Advancing INFANTRY can re-roll their advance. If you are solely planning to use your Infantry to move around the board at great speed this is worth a look – remember that squads will often be advancing twice in a turn thanks to Move! Move! Move!. C+ Codex Chaos Space Marines turned up just as June turned into July, and Chaos Daemons straddled August and September.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! 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.

Resplendent in golden armour atop his cybernetic horse Konstantin, Lord Solar Leontus is effectively the new ‘big boss’ of the Imperial Guard. 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 . Bellowing Voice: +3″ to the range of any abilities on the datasheet. There’s nothing super exciting to combo with this beyond making your characters slightly better. It’s sort of fine, but will never edge out the good choices. C Every time I hear that it upsets me that GW didn’t allow the clear Chaos victory in The Eye of Terror campaign to have any effect on the setting’s narrative.

The Command Squad

Games Workshop had their big celebration of Warhammer 40,000 over the weekend and revealed not 10th Edition but a new Army Launch Set for the Astra Militarum. Cadia Stands! 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. Games Workshop Warhammer Day Open Preview 2022 Gunnery Experts: When you roll to determine the number of shots for a weapon on a VEHICLE, you can re-roll one of the dice. This is the VEHICLE half of Catachan, and obviously good with tanks. A Regimental Doctrine – Parade Drill: INFANTRY gets +1Ld +1 to hit on overwatch if every model’s base is touching at least one other model’s. VEHICLES get +1 to hit on overwatch if they’re within 3″ of another MORDIAN VEHICLE. Note: Yes, modifiers don’t work on overwatch, but there’s an FAQ for this that basically runs to “this works as intended because we say so”. 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,” said GW in a WarCom preview from November 8.

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.

Regimental Doctrine – Swift as the Wind: Infantry can shoot non-heavy weapons after advancing, and ignore the assault penalty for doing so. VEHICLES can ignore move/shoot penalties for heavy weapons, and TITANIC VEHICLES treat heavy weapons as assault after advancing. Tanks are complicated, weapons can break and jam – but manpower is a resource that never fails. The Imperium lives and dies on the sacrifices made by its fearless* infantry, and whether you need to overwhelm mutants, heretics, or aliens, there’s no better weapon than a few hundred warm bodies loaded up with lasguns. Relic – Blessed Bolt Pistol: Relic bolt pistol. Pistol 2, S5, AP-2, D2 and can snipe characters and has D3 against PSYKERs.

Relic – Distraction Charges: When a model within 3″ scores a hit on overwatch, the unit that was hit halves their charges (rounding up). Forwards, for the Emperor!: You may shoot with a unit even if that unit Advanced this turn. Another handy thing you might need to do from time to time. Even their special weapons platforms and Imperial Guard tanks aren’t as well armoured as some other forces’ equivalents, so you’ll have to keep an eye on damage if you want to succeed. Relic – Relic of Lost Cadia: Once per battle you can activate this at the start of the turn, and re-roll hits and wounds of 1 for CADIAN units within 12″ of the bearer. Against CHAOS, they instead re-roll all failed hits and wounds. At the moment, however, we’re in the opening act of 10th Edition 40k, and only two factions – Space Marines and Tyranids– have their 10th Edition codex release dates coming soon.

New Imperial Guard Cadians Warhammer 40k Army Box Revealed!

Fragile Damage Dealers: The damage dealers in this army come in the forms of special weapons toting Guardsmen or Scions, Manticores, and Tank Commanders. All of these units are relatively fragile and will absolutely fold if you expose them.
