One reason for this article is to help you get to grips with the box and make the most out of it. But I also want to make sure you do not make a mistake – or at least make as few as possible. Legs and torsos are the limiting-factor when building your Astra Militarum Infantry. Keep this in mind when you expand your force in the future and remember what you have spare. This small detail of the Heavy Weapons Team gives us some great flexibility for our squad and whether we want it to be an Infantry Squad or a Veteran Squad – or both… Veterans, Infantry or Both? If you do decide to glue on the Autocannon and tripod, then you still have the other weapons spare. As your collection grows and you end up with more Guardsmen you can invest in a few extra 60mm bases and build yourself more Heavy Weapon Teams from your spare bits.Leman Russ with Battle Cannon, Heavy Stubber, Plasma Cannons, Hull Lascannon – Heavy Support (166 pts) This is the easiest model to build and make a decision on. You get all the Heavy Weapons available to the Astra Militarum… The Heavy Weapons sprue covered a little more, later on, gives you the option to swap two Guardsmen out for a Heavy Weapons Team. Your unit of ten Guardsmen can become a unit of eight Guardsmen plus a Heavy Weapons Team. There are still ten guys in the squad, eight as normal on 25mm bases then two manning the Heavy Weapon on the 60mm base.

In summary, you can use multiple Heavy Weapons on one base. Don’t glue the weapon on. Then just pop it on and off as you need for your games. It takes a little bit of converting and ensuring you can remove it from the base once the Guardsmen are glued in place – but it’s possible. With the Veterans, the Vox-Caster and a regular Guardsmen are removed and replaced with two more Special Weapons. E.g. the Battalion Detachment requires three Troops and the Brigade requires six. Also, the smallest and most easily used Detachment when starting is the Patrol Detachment, this requires one Troops choice. So by going down the route of Veterans and having three Special Weapons – you might be making your task harder later down the line when you want to create a Patrol or Ballation Detachment.

At 261 points you have yourself your first small fighting force. And once you double up and get a second Astra Militarum Start Collecting Box you can easily start playing 500 point games with some decent firepower presence on the battlefield with 20~ infantry models. The infantry sprues come with two Flamers and two Grenade Launchers. But an infantry squad can only take one Special Weapon. So if you go and use all four you will end up having an invalid squad. Veterans can take up to three Special Weapons – they could also take zero Special Weapons. Building three Special Weapons and taking these guys as Veterans is certainly viable – there are no Veteran models, you just use whatever you want and maybe model them differently from your regular Guardsmen.

You can also change the unit composition to the following to maximise Special Weapons and use them as a valid Veterans Squad… So this guy comes with just a Laspistol, but he can also take a Chainsword (0 pts) or a Power Sword (2 pts), but there is no Power Sword on these sprues. The Laspistol can also be swapped for a Bolt Pistol, Boltgun or Plasma Pistol. None of which are in this kit. Heavy Weapons Isle of Man, Isle of Wight, Northern Ireland and the Scottish Highlands) may take longer to reach you. There are a fair few options of what you can do with this, I won’t list them all because I think it’s a fun exercise to discover the builds you can do based on the Codex. I will instead cover the limitations of an Infantry Squad so you don’t get trapped with an invalid squad. Special Weapons Named for one of the Primarchs, the Imperium's greatest heroes, the Leman Russ Battle Tank is the pride of the Astra Militarum. Heavily armed and armored, you'll want one or more of these as your army grows, as they'll form a core part of your strategy. The standard pattern is a great choice all-around, but if you need a more specialized loadout there are several different builds for this iconic tank.I bought an Astra Militarum Start Collecting Box specifically for this article. My thought was that I know what the box should contain but having the actual box would be a good idea and see for myself. I say specifically, but of course, I’ll use them!
