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

Product Information

Castellans are competent fighters in their own right, with a panoply of powerful equipment at their disposal. Acceptable Losses, for 1CP, allows you to fire on units locked in melee combat with your own troops, so long as they have the Platoon keyword (your mainline infantry squads, we presume) or the Grim Demeanour doctrine keyword. Unorthodox use of the tarot readers of The Collegiate Astrolex gives Leontus the ability to change one of his army’s secondary objectives or Agendas on the cusp of battle, reacting to his foe’s plans. The Platoon Commander empowers nearby infantry, while the medic, standard bearer, and vox-caster add their own unique boons to the mix.

Units that Remain Stationary in their movement phase get to treat their Lasguns and Hot-shot lasguns as Heavy 2 on that shooting phase. We first got word of the new Grey Knights and Thousand Sons codexes back in May 2021, during a Warhammer Fest teaser video. Codex: Space Marines containsheaps of lore for the first-founding chapters, as well as their more prominent successors. Assuming it applies to all (or most) of the army’s vehicles, this will make a huge difference to gameplay, as Astra Militarum armies have long suffered competitively from the ease with which infantry-heavy foes can effectively “switch off” much of your firepower simply by charging cheap, weak troops into combat with every tank on the board. A certain sneaky so-and-so with a big knife is up to his old tricks, so make sure you’re among the first to hear by signing up for our newsletter.

In addition to the miniatures contained in the Army Launch Set, two more classic units are getting a well-earned update. We’ve already seen the armoured variant of the Sentinel– revealed alongside the new Lord Castellan of Cadia, Ursula Creed – but the kit also makes a classic Scout Sentinel complete with open canopy and chainsaw attachment. The most famous defenders of humanity are the Space Marines, demigods created by the Emperor of Mankindwho stand as a bulwark against the worst the universe has to throw at them. All the classic weapons are back, from heavy bolters to lascannons, and each base contains a massive amount of options to make them stand out. This magazine collection will soon be coming to Japan, featuring all the same gifts and guides as previous releases.

Originallypackaged in the Beast Snagga Orks army box– the introductory set for Warhammer 40k’s newest Ork faction– in July 2021,the book finally hit shelves independently on September 11.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.

There weren’t manybrand new ‘Nids miniatures leading up to the launch, with the notable exception of the bat-winged Parasite of Mortrex.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.
