Games Workshop Warhammer 40k - Codex V.9 Astra Militarum

Product Information

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. As the popular Imperial saying goes, “The planet broke before the Cadians did”,** and this tenacity is very real. By shrugging off minor injuries and refusing to yield under storms of enemy fire, units of otherwise-fragile infantry become immovable objects that are capable of absorbing lascannon fire twice as often as before.

Matters have only gotten worse as the Imperium struggles to contain a war that its own agents precipitated – and Hive Fleet Leviathan devises powerful adaptations and esoteric Synaptic Link abilities to lay low its prey.

Rules for Crusade campaigns and narrative games that allow you to embark on tours of duty and win official commendations The genetically-enhanced Strife Epoch regiments came to form the nucleus of the armed forces that would later support the even more genetically advanced Space Marine Legions during their reconquest of the Human-settled galaxy. The Emperor began His conquest of Terra with the intent to reunite the warring techno-barbarian nations into a unified planetary government and then use Terra as the springboard from which to begin His reconquest of the galaxy under the aegis of an Imperium of Man dedicated to the Imperial Truth of progress and reason.Imagine, if you will, the industrial efficiency and mechanised assaults of the Armageddon Steel Legion. Now combine that with the grim demeanour and unflinching sacrifice of the Death Korps of Krieg. What if you added the refined weapons of the Vostroyan Firstborn to the disciplined firing lines of the Mordian Iron Guard? Catachan strength paired with Attilan speed? Yes please. During previous editions of the game, theGuard have come in at various different spots in the queue of factions to receive their new codex – but, since they came second-to-last in 9th, the chances are that this army will be one of the later codex releases this time around, too. Although it has several excellent turret options, the Leman Russ and the battle cannon go together like chips and gravy, so tank commanders will be glad to know that this old faithful has had a boost. Then again, if you want to really splatter something from a great distance, the oppressor cannon on the Rogal Dorn cranks the firepower up to the max.**

The new miniature can be assembled as an Armoured Sentinel or – if you prefer to feel the wind in your hair as you slay the enemies of the God-Emperor – a lightweight Scout Sentinel.The numbers of regiments raised from each world varied enormously in accordance with the size of each individual planet's population. Sparsely populated worlds would be tithed to supply only a handful of regiments annually, whilst the overcrowded Hive Worlds near to the galactic core would have to supply hundreds of regiments every standard year. However, the demands of the Great Crusade continually increased; by the time the burgeoning new realm of Humanity reached the Eastern Fringe of the galaxy, the Imperial Army was a fully-fledged arm of its war machine fighting on the frontlines. Imperial Army forces were self-contained and autonomous, possessing control of their own Warp-capable warships and transports. Vast and sprawling, these potent fighting forces were commonly assigned to Space Marine commanders and could conquer whole worlds in their name. All this changed after the horrors of the Horus Heresy. Dark clouds gather over a divided Imperium, and the billions-strong Astra Militarum is the last line of defence against total chaos. This codex includes all the lore and rules you need to wield the Hammer of the Emperor, bringing massive firepower to bear with ranks of human soldiers and armoured vehicles.
