Stratagem – Send in the Next Wave – 2CP: At the end of your movement phase, set up a VALHALLAN INFANTRY unit that was wholly destroyed earlier in the battle again, within 6″ of a board edge and more than 9″ from any enemy units. You have to pay reinforcement points for this. Cadia’s most heavily armed and armoured elite infantry squads, the Kasrkin are now out as plastic models for the first time. The most notablechange made to the factionin this rulebook was to fully integrate the Sisters of Silence (the Imperium’s all-female arm of psyker hunters) into the army proper, where they had previously operated as an add-on rather than a full force. Besides that, the Custodes got extensively updated subfaction rules for the different Shieldhosts, and new,switchable ‘martial ka’tah’ buffs – as well as theusual bundle of new Stratagems, Relics, and Warlord Traits.

In terms of broad benefits for an Astra Militarum force, the first is simply the range of models you’ll have access to. The Imperial Guard has one of the widest selections available to any Warhammer 40k player, with tonnes of specialisation built in. 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. Prior to releasing the new T’au Empire book, GW published a string ofreveals outlining much improved subfaction rules for the six different T’au Septs, as well as totally reworked rules for the Mont’ka and Kauyon Tactical Philosophies; Crusade narrative rules including options for something called ‘diplomacy’; and an array of terrifyingly up-powered ranged weaponry(with accompanying Relics) that, by all accounts, are Making T’au Shooting Scary Again.Stratagem – Tactical Misdirection – 1CP: When one of your units destroys an enemy unit, your opponent gets -1 to hit when shooting against anything else if your unit is their closest target.

However you approach the Astra Militarum, you’ll find that they’re a strong force that embodies all that’s hopeful and noble in the grimdark Warhammer 40,000 universe. Whilst other armies can rely on magic powers or divine intervention, the Imperial Guard have only each other. 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. Officio Prefectus Command Tank – 2CP: Choose a Leman Russ and give it a 6″ bubble of granting Ld9 to ASTRA MILITARUM units. Cute and flavourful, but not in any way good. DSince the Psychic Awakening: The Greater Good rules release, Games Workshop have made sure that you’ll be able to make custom Astra Militarum regiments and have their specialities reflected in-game. However, as with other factions, the game features several canonical Imperial Guard regiments that have become legends throughout the Imperium, and, as a result, have specific rules and histories. Here are some of the most popular and famous regiments known to humanity.

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. Stratagem – Gifts from the Mechanicus – 1CP: When a unit shoots, hot-shot weapons do a single mortal wound on a 6 to wound instead of their normal damage. What do you think about this Warhammer Day 2002 preview for all the new Imperial Guard Cadians Army Box? Its dark and brooding cover was shown off on May 4, and a plethora of Chaos announcements came hot on its heels. During Warhammer Fest 2022 (May 4 – May 7), we saw a whole new range of horrible (lovely) Chaos Space Marine models.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.

The amazing new Imperial Guard Warhammer 40k models for the Cadians are coming in this launch army box set per the 2022 Warhammer Day preview! According to the Warhammer Day preview stream, all the new Imerial Guardsman models will be on 28mm bases like the revamped Eldar line. As well as the new Astra Militarum miniatures, we also got word of a new style of game for Warhammer 40,000. Boarding Actions has compact 500-point forces clashing in narrow corridors on board spaceships or perhaps within the confines of a key strategic base planetside. Long whispered of in rumours by Imperial Guard fans, the brand new Rogal Dorn Battle Tank was finally revealed by GW in October.Similar to many armies, you’ll also get unique Astra Militarum tactics and rules that only they can use.
