r/astramilitarum

I am gonna get into astra militarum and I want to have a knight in the army because I really enjoy the thought of a knight supporting the militarum, I only want to buy one knight however. I may use magnets to interchange the weapons but I need to know what the best knight would be, all advice is welcome

How do i play this match up if im mass infantry siege/bridgehead priority assets and my opponent is superheavies and bullgryn purge the foe? Im not sure how I should approach it. For example, do i focus the bullgryn and points scoring units and leave the superheavy alone, or do I focus the superheavy down? Is there a particular angle I should consider over others? I appreciate any advice

The list im using:

Paper Tigers - Astra Militarum - Priority Assets - Siege Regiment, Bridgehead Strike (1995 Points)

Cadian Castellan + Cadian Command Squad with Stalwart's Honours + Ogryn Bodyguard + 20 Cadian Shock Troops

Cadian Castellan + Cadian Command Squad + Ogryn Bodyguard + 20 Cadian Shock Troops

Militarum Tempestus Command Squad - Warlord + 10 Tempestus Scions

Militarum Tempestus Command Squad + 10 Tempestus Scions

Gaunt’s Ghosts

Ursula Creed

3x3 Catachan Heavy Weapons Squad

5 Krieg Combat Engineers

3x4 Krieg Heavy Weapons Squad

10 Attilan Rough Riders

5 Death Riders

Hi fellow guardsmen,
So I have recently tried out a few different lists and ended up losing everytime against my friends.
We are having some more game soon so I tried to shift my approach a little bit and came up with this list.
I usually packed in a pair of dorns and 3 russes to be lethal but this time I felt like packing some more bodies to throw at them could help me more in holding objectives

I don’t play that often so I am still fairly new and am really curious to hear your advices and recommendations

Thank you in advance & Cadia stands

Edit to make it more legible and typo

Hi everyone.

I've got a couple of Hades Breaching Drills in my collection, unassembled, that I bought when they first came out as I loved the look of the models.

I was looking over their rules this evening, as I'm thinking of finally gluing and painting them up, and found what could be some abusable rules text.

Their special ability, Subterranean Assault, states, "Each time you set up this model on the battlefield using the Deep Strike ability, you can select one friendly Astra Militarum Infantry unit in Strategic Reserves. If you do, set up that unit anywhere on the battlefield that is wholly within 9" of this model and more than 8" away from all enemy units."

If I use this ability to deploy a unit from Strategic Reserves, can I then make a normal move with that unit?

The usual rule preventing a unit from moving after deploying from an Ingress Move is covered in the Ingress Move rules themselves (20.04), where it states, "AFTER MOVING: Unless otherwise stated, until the start of the next Charge phase, your unit is not eligible to make any other type of move." However, the unit deployed using the Subterranean Assault rule never made an Ingress Move.

Am I missing something here?

ETA: for people saying the rules haven't been updated for 11th, why is it that the deploying unit can be 8" away from enemies? That seems like an 11th edition update to me.

2nd Edit: The previous version of the rule states, "Subterranean Assault: Each time you set up this model on the battlefield using the Deep Strike ability, you can select one friendly Astra Militarum Infantry unit in Strategic Reserves. If you do, set up that unit anywhere on the battlefield that is wholly within 9" of this model and more than 9" away from all enemy units." So it has been updated for 11th.
