Astra Militarum 7th Edition
Astra Militarum Tactical Summary as of 10-26-16
Astra Militarum or the army formerly known as the Imperial Guard has gone through many changes over the years. The Astra Militarum started out as a Judge Dredd style military force, and then quickly moved into representing mirror images of many 19th and 20th century Earth forces. It was at this point Games Workshop decided to focus on a particular look and feel for the Astra Militarum. The most standard looking Astra Militarum force is that of the armies of Cadia. The Cadians are a very generic looking army with many traits still firmly placed in a Cold War ascetic.
Games Workship is stuck with this look as; a hard sci-fi look just doesn’t fit with the 40k universe, trying to find the right fit has been hard to grasp. As things progress though, you can start to see units looking more like Solar Auxila and less like clear 21st century knock offs.
As for competitive play the Astra Militarum are in a deep downturn, the are only held above water by the vast number of Forge units to supplement the army. The Astra Militarum just don’t have the damage output and abilities to cut through Deathstars or any resilient army. Once you reach their lines they just crumble. You are left with many competitive Astra Militarum armies stuck with large blobs protecting Artillery in the backfield. This is good at holding a line, but too defensive to win objective missions and boring to play.
The only fantastic unit the Astra Militarum has is the Wyvern and it is no wonder most Astra Militarum Ally forces use them. The Astra Militarum do take advantage of the Priests which can make any blob unit deadly. The Astra Militarum suffer from expensive units and no good formations that reduce the costs. The Vendetta is still decent and provides the only really reliable way to get units into your opponent’s backfield. Astra Militarum though have slim pickings as the iconic tanks like the Leman Russ can’t hold their own. Unless the game changes dramatically you can expect to see the continued the underused and under appreciated Astra Militarum.
Below you find all the quick reference material you need to build an competitive or fluffy Astra Militarum army.
