Astra Militarum - Battleforce: Astra Militarum Platoon

Warhammer 40,000 – Astra Militarum – Battleforce: Astra Militarum Platoon – 47-48

The Astra Militarum Platoon Battleforce brings the core of the Imperial Guard together in one sturdy army box: officers, infantry, artillery, and heavy armour. This is precisely how the Astra Militarum wages war: with disciplined orders, endless lines of fire, heavy guns, and tanks that pressure the enemy until the line breaks.

A complete combined arms core for Astra Militarum

This battleforce is ideal for players who want to start an Astra Militarum army or expand an existing collection with a strong mix of units. The box contains command support, an infantry squad, field artillery, a Basilisk, and a Rogal Dorn Battle Tank.

This immediately gives you a versatile foundation: Cadian Shock Troops for objectives and board presence, a Cadian Command Squad for orders and leadership, a Commissar for extra character and discipline, and heavy fire support from both artillery and armour.

Infantry, artillery, and tanks in one box

The Astra Militarum revolves around cooperation between different components of the army. The infantry holds positions, the command staff coordinates the line, the Field Ordnance Battery and Basilisk provide bombardments, and the Rogal Dorn forms a heavily armoured centrepiece that brings a lot of firepower to the front.

This makes the box very suitable for players who enjoy classic Imperial Guard tactics: establishing firing lines, defending objectives, weakening enemies with artillery, and then increasing the pressure with tanks and infantry.

Lots of hobby value for regiments and campaigns

For hobbyists, this battleforce offers a lot of variety. You're not just painting infantry, but also command models, ordnance, and large vehicles. This makes the box a great project for a Cadian army, a custom regiment, or a campaign theme around sieges, defensive lines, and combined battles.

The vehicles and artillery offer plenty of room for camouflage, mud, dust, battle damage, regimental numbers, and Imperial markings. The infantry, on the other hand, provides opportunities for uniform variation, squad markings, faces, weapon details, and bases with trenches, ruins, or industrial battlefields.
