About this deal

The curves are a little different than you might see on older designs, but we wanted to imply a mix of cast metal and riveted armour plates in its construction to give it a more authentic feel. It’s also the first time we’ve shown proper suspension on a tank kit, so you can leave off the side skirts and see the wheels. Due to the organization of the Astra Militarum various wrolds and regiments have their own heirlooms, comparable to the heirlooms owned by each Space Marine Chapters. Nonetheless there are certain rare relics that ware worn or wielded by several different officers, commissars or other individuals of the Imperial Guard. [Needs Citation] Before the fall of Cadia, a charismatic sergeant named Lukas Bastonne*** became the face of Cadian valour and inspired billions of troops to match his skill and grit. The Astra Militarum is the Hammer of the Emperor, which defends Humanity through the application of numbers and sheer, brute force.

The Astra Militarum has numerous subdivisions, most notable of which are the Militarum Vendorum, Militarum Ordinatus, Militarum Auxilla, Militarum Tempestus, and Militarum Regimentos. In turn, the Astra Militarum is overseen by the Departmento Munitorum's Officio Prefectus (also known as the Commissariat). [10]Xenos invasions were confronted: Orks and Tyranids in the Octarius Sector; Necrons in the Erinaeus Cluster; Aeldari raiders in the Desh'ka Sub-sector, to name but some. Multiplying Chaos Cult and Genestealer Cult uprisings were crushed and uprooted, some in thrall to the Dark Gods of Chaos, others bearing xenos-implanted mutations or ideas, or fighting for secessionist tenets fuelled by political or religious heresy.

Unknown Date.M42 Call of the Forge - A fragmented message reaches the astropathic choirs on Vostroya. Though it appears to have been sent by the Adeptus Mechanicus, calling for aid on Canoptis II, the nature of the threat facing the Tech-priests is unclear. Nevertheless, the Vostroyan Firstborn 22nd "Riders of Dawn," the 99th "Only Sons" and the 331st "True Shots" set out to answer the call, hoping that their Navigators will be able to traverse the now lightless stars. One of the most prolific Goliaths active on Necromunda, Ajex Gorgoth built his way up from nothing to rule the largest enclave of his kind in Hive Primus. This resin House Agent can be hired by Goliath gangs, and his massive strength and bulk overpower anything short of an ambull.The growing power of the Ecclesiarchy came to a head during the infamous Reign of Blood, which marked the Age of Apostasy of the 36th Millennium. Master of the Administratum Goge Vandire, the civil bureaucracy of the Imperium and the Departmento Munitorum already under his control, seized yet greater power by becoming the ecclesiarch simultaneously. At his command, Astra Militarum regiments enforced his increasingly unstable tyranny on countless worlds. Loyalist regiments rallying to the banner of the itinerant preacher Sebastian Thor joined with other Imperial forces such as the Adeptus Astartes, Adeptus Custodes and the Sisters of Battle that eventually ensured the despot's defeat and the reform of the Imperial church. The new behemoth fits perfectly between the Leman Russ and Baneblade tanks, so to find out how such a beautiful beast became a reality we cornered designers Dale Stringer, and Matt Holland from the Warhammer Studio, to talk all things Rogal Dorn.* Men and women charge screaming alongside their comrades into the mouth of hell, lasguns spitting death at the foe even as xenos munitions tear bloodied holes in the Human ranks. In a galaxy of never-ending warfare, what makes the perpetually outmatched men and women of the Imperial Guard so admirable is that they know near-constant fear, yet they lift their weapons, plant their feet, and fight on regardless. Their lives may be short and brutal, their sacrifices insultingly thankless, but it is because of the Astra Militarum that the Imperium continues to weather the storm of these dark times. ca. M37 The Redemption Crusades - The sins of apostasy are purged in blood and tears. Amongst the regiments of the Astra Militarum, as elsewhere, the Imperial Cult grows greatly in power. As billions of Heretics are burnt at the pyre, crusade after crusade is launched to re-establish the authority of the Imperium. This rapid outpouring of force leaves many planets all but undefended, their regiments engaged in long and gruelling campaigns across the vast expanse of the galaxy. The Tallarn Desert Raiders earn a fearsome reputation for their ability to rapidly redeploy, conducting simultaneous offensive and defensive manoeuvres that span entire sub-sectors.

Certain members of regiments have become famous throughout a region, or sometimes the entire Imperium. They are often the officers or commanders rather than individual guardsmen and they are remembered as saviours of humanity, seen spreading the light of the Emperor far and wide, or protecting it from the ravages of Xenos, mutants and heretics. Some of these figures are listed below. [Needs Citation]If you need to come down from the exhilaration of such a red-blooded tussle, Louise is on hand to teach you advanced techniques for painting the incoming Cadians in Citadel Colour Masterclass , from colouring their fatigues and armour to weathering and freehand details. It is comprised of countless billions of men and women -- hundreds of thousands of different regiments, supported by a vast array of light and heavy armoured vehicles that provide the Imperial Guard's primary offensive punch. The Astra Militarum is usually the first Imperial force to respond to a threat if a world's Planetary Defence Force (PDF) fails to suppress it. Bastonne isn’t the only hero of Cadia, and senior officers aspire to the tactical genius of arguably the most famous Cadian ever to live – Lord Castellan Ursarkar E. Creed . His ability to sneak even massive war machines behind enemy lines was legendary, and capable commanders frequently employ his strategies to rapidly redeploy their forces. The Urslavik 12th Infantry, one of the genetically-engineered Genos regiments employed by the Emperor of Mankind during the Unification Wars on Terra. When the Warmaster Horus turned upon the Emperor, fully half of the Space Marine Legions turned with him. Compelled by misplaced loyalty, fear or personal ambition, so too did the majority of those Imperial Army forces under the Traitors' direct control. Millions upon millions of trained fighting men and women, possessed of their own dedicated armour units and interstellar transportation, were suddenly set at the nascent Imperium's throat.
