Warhammer 40K: Astra Militarum Battleforce - Astra Militarum Platoon

This stuffed box is ideal for starting a new Astra Militarum collection – or expanding an existing army – to deploy in games of Warhammer 40,000, and it saves money compared to buying the kits separately. Led by a ruthless Commissar to ensure their steadfast loyalty, the core of the force is composed of infantry units, including a Cadian Command Squad. In support are 2 Field Ordnance Teams, while a Basilisk and Rogal Dorn Battle Tank add some serious firepower to take care of anything your opponent brings to the table. When taken together, they are a balanced, durable force that punches hard, and can seize and hold objectives easily.

This boxed set builds 20 multipart plastic Astra Militarum miniatures:
– 1 Commissar
– 5 Cadian Command Squad miniatures
– 2 Field Ordnance Teams
– 1 Rogal Dorn Battle Tank
– 1 Basilisk
– 10 Cadian Shock Troops

The miniatures in this box are easy to customise. The Commissar can be assembled with either a vicious chainsword or a single-edged power sword, both with a wrist-mounted power pack.

The Cadian Shock Troops is a versatile kit. Each soldier is armed with frag grenades and a reliable lasgun, and they're led by a Sergeant armed with either a drum-fed autogun, or a chainsword with a laspistol or bolt pistol. The kit includes a flamer, grenade launcher, meltagun, and plasma gun – as well as a vox-caster. You'll also find loads of cosmetic options, with more than 20 different heads, plus sandbags, combat knives, a spade, a spare helmet, and plenty of bedrolls.

The Cadian Command Squad is made up of a Cadian Commander and four Veteran Guardsmen. The Cadian Commander is armed with your choice of a laspistol, bolt pistol, or plasma pistol in one hand, and a chainsword, power sword, or power fist in the other. Each of the accompanying Veterans is equipped differently – one field medic with a lasgun and medi-pack, one vox operator with a laspistol and master vox system, one bodyguard with a laspistol and your choice of chainsword, power sword, or power fist, and one standard bearer carrying a lasgun alongside a regimental standard. The bodyguard and banner bearer can each instead be built as weapons specialists, armed with your choice of a flamer, grenade launcher, meltagun, or plasma gun. The kit includes cosmetic choices to make your Command Squad stand out, like magnoculars, slung and stowed weapons, 3 finials for the regimental standard, and loads of different head and basing options that can be mixed and matched around the squad.

The Field Ordnance Teams each feature a gunner and 2 spotters or loaders, crewing your choice of heavy gun – a malleus rocket launcher, bombast field gun, or heavy lascannon. The spotters and loaders are also armed with lasguns and frag grenades. The crew members can be mixed up with a variety of cosmetic options, including 12 different heads and a variety of arms, ammunition, poses, and accessories. The gun carriage can be optionally built without the gunner, and thanks to a partial glueless assembly, the carriage's legs can pivot, or the carriage can be built with its legs closed.

The Basilisk can optionally be upgraded with a dozer blade, hunter-killer missile, and armoured tracks. The Basilisk's cannon can be assembled gluelessly, allowing you to adjust its angle of fire, and features a firing platform to its rear, with components to build a gunner with a choice of heads and arms. The kit includes other accessories to customise your vehicle, including bedrolls, entrenching gear, a spotlight, spare fuel, hatch options, and aquila sigils.

The Rogal Dorn Battle Tank’s primary turret-mounted weapon can be your choice of twin battle cannon, or an oppressor cannon with a coaxial autocannon mounted on its side. A secondary hard point on the hull mounts either a castigator gatling cannon or a pulveriser cannon. The kit includes optional sponson mounts armed with a pair of heavy bolters or multi-meltas, while optional forward mounts can house heavy stubbers or meltaguns. The tank's tracks can be upgraded with additional armour, and you'll also find extensive cosmetic options, including tow hooks, viewing slits, extra fuel, a searchlight, and stowed equipment. There are 3 crew members, including a spotter, tank officer, and a gunner for the pintle-mounted heavy stubber, which can be built with 5 head options or replaced with closed hatches.
