Citadel Astra Militarum Cadian Defence Force

Product Information

Access to the Pylons was generally forbidden, with it being deemed a rare privilege to be granted permission to visit if one were not of sufficient military rank. [9c] We know that the troops for the Astra Militarum is fairly cheap – after all, there are billions of men and women in the Imperial Guard. Thanks to the tanks, the total Points value of this box comes out to 705 points, which should provide a solid foundation for a Militarum army. Or a great addition if you’re trying to round your 2000 Points list out! Space Marines – Spearhead Force In many cases, these were often older Imperial Army veterans retired from the Great Crusade into a position where their skills and experience might still serve the Imperium. The darker side of this coin was the indenture of prisoners, recidivists and thousands considered to be members of Abhumanity mutations below the standard of the accepted human norm, but not so debased as to warrant immediate extermination. These forces often served the Imperialis Militia entirely unwillingly, their control guaranteed by cadres of veteran Discipline Masters, and the ruthless application of lethal sanction and chemical inducement where needed.

There are a couple of units which sound hilarious on paper but are tragically ineffective on the table

Before Imperial colonization, Cadia was the home of a lost fragment of humanity that worshipped the four Gods of Chaos. [3a] This society was encountered by the Word Bearers Legion forty years before the Horus Heresy, and the prevalence of violet eyes amongst the populace was seen as a mark of mutation caused by the Eye of Terror, which also appears violet. [3b] It was on Cadia that the Word Bearers' Primarch, Lorgar, first met Ingethel the Chosen and became inducted into the service of the Foul Powers. [3a] This civilization was eventually wiped out by Cyclonic torpedoes. [3c] The one thing all investigators agreed upon was that the pylons were responsible for the stable Warp-corridor known as the Cadian Gate. Adepts conjectured that they emitted a becalming signal, taming the roiling energies of the Immaterium around the Cadian System. As one of the most strategically important planets in the Imperium, Cadia boasted a large military presence. Battlefleet Cadia provided orbital protection for the planet and could call upon the assistance of neighboring sector fleets such as Battlefleet Agripinaa, Battlefleet Corona and Battlefleet Scarus. [1a] The planet's surface was dotted with numerous orbital defense batteries, its skies were patrolled by flights of Imperial Aircraft, and any incoming civilian craft that failed to transmit the daily access codes were liable to be shot down without question. [2] Other Astra Militarum regiments model their recruitment and training practices on Cadian doctrine, or seek to equip their forces in the Cadian style. All are eager to emulate a world so heavily militarised that it was said its people were taught how to field-strip and shoot a lasgun before they could even read.

It seemed that although many Chaos fleets had ventured out of the Eye, very few Imperial fleets ventured in. No battle fleet of any size could rely upon other stable passages from the Eye of Terror and they were required to pass through the Cadian Gate. There are of course changes in price not only across stores but also across countries. But this should not matter within the context of this article. If it’s expensive in a Game Workshop store in the U.K then it will be expensive in a local store in New Zealand too. 450 Points is 500 Points While one of the main factions of 40k’s 10 th Edition are the Space Marines, they couldn’t be the heroes of the story without the Tyranids, specifically Hive Fleet Leviathan. The Hive Mind sent some reinforcements so that the Tyranids can stay on the offensive after winning the Battle for Oghram with a new Battleforce – including the new Big Boi™ of the Nids.

Cadian Regiment - The 203rd Cadian Regiment fought beside the 2nd Company of the Ultramarines Chapter that was commanded by Captain Titus during the Imperium's liberation of the Forge World of Graia during the events of Space Marine. The regiment's remaining forces were commanded by 2nd Lieutenant Mira. The Archmagos Dominus Belisarius Cawl, another recent arrival to the Fortress World, had been led to Cadia by the Harlequin Shadowseer Sylandri Veilwalker, and believed that he could decipher the true function of the pylons. Although the PDF automatically defaults all command to any Imperial forces that arrive in the event of an emergency, there are many possible reasons the PDF or elements of it may join in rebellion against Imperial authority; Chaos or alien (particularly Genestealer) infiltration of the planet can cause divided loyalties as PDF regiments turn Traitor or are psychically enslaved by their Genestealer relatives. The Leman Russ battle tank is the dumpy AK47 of the tank world. It comes with a bajilion weapon options, but either the standard battle cannon or the demolisher cannon are the best choices for the main turret gun. Multi-melta sponsons are also particularly entertaining against enemy armour and heavy infantry, but cost a bunch more points than a pair of good ol’ heavy bolters. For the hull gun, I tend to favour the lascannon due to the builds that make sense on the infantry squads (again, see the Sneaky Build Tips).
