Tactica Astra Militarum - Lord Castellan Creed

Hello there ladies and gentlemen and welcome to another addition to the Tactica: Astra Militarum series! This time we will be looking at the Defender of Cadia and Supreme Commander of the fight against Abaddon's 13th Black Crusade, Lord Castellan Creed. I hope you enjoy this article!

The Hammer of the Emperor

Hey guys, I've got some good and bad news to share today - though this update might tickle your collective fancies. I've been buying, selling and trading lots of stuff lately and what has most recently come into my collection is a massive Astra Militarum army courtesy of some awesome people. I've finally got a huge force that I can quickly and easily play games with or transport, something I've had issues with in regards to Warhammer 40,000 (but not Fantasy) for the past few years.

What this basically means is that I can start playing games of 7th Edition incredibly frequently and with a tough army that can be used as a platform to test out all sorts of friendly and enemy tactics. I'll have deeper insights into the Astra Militarum that I might not have had before without extensive play-testing, while I will also be able to work out more tactics to employ with certain units. The only downside is that I have got a lot of stuff on my plate unrelated to the blog at the moment in addition to lots of games lined up so I can't post as often as I would like, but the next one should still be ready for viewing in two days.

I'm really excited about this new army not only because of how fun and diverse they are, but also because it means I'll be able to improve the quality of my tactics articles significantly. Hopefully it works out as I have intended but in any case I want you all to have a wonderful day/night and look forward to hearing how your armies or hobby have been progressing. Cheers! Eel out.

Tactica Astra Militarum - Regimental Advisors

Greetings everyone, I'm Learn2Eel and today marks another article in the long-awaited Astra Militarum Tactica series! This time I'll be looking at the Regimental Advisors - those cheap little characters that can be added to a Company Command Squad and provide situational but generally useful abilities. I hope you find this an entertaining or insightful read!

Issues with Blogger

Hey guys, a quick update here that took far longer to post than it should have. I'm currently experiencing significant technical problems with Blogger and have found it difficult even to respond to comments on my articles. I haven't been able to edit my Company Command Squad article to include some wargear option appraisals I accidentally left out, while trying to work on the Regimental Advisors article has been close to impossible. I'll try and get this sorted ASAP but for now we'll all just have to be patient. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Tactica Astra Militarum - Company Command Squad

Hey there everyone, Learn2Eel here and today I am continuing my Astra Militarum Tactica with a look at Company Command Squads. These are the units that amplify the effectiveness of your regular Guardsmen ten-fold through Orders and a helpful array of codex-native Warlord Traits, while offering a nice buffer for Slay the Warlord because of their squad status. No competitive Astra Militarum codex army should do without Command Squads of some kind, and Company variants are easily the best available.

Tactica Astra Militarum - Commissar Yarrick

Howdy there folks, Learn2Eel here and today I want to kick off the Astra Militarum Tactica series with a look at the Hero of Armageddon, Commissar Yarrick. He boosts the resolve of nearby warriors, he is a tough Warlord that will rarely give up a Slay the Warlord victory point, he is pretty darn nasty in combat and he does all this at a super low cost. Yarrick has returned in a big way and I'm glad to see it as a childhood fan of his constant clashes against the terrifying Ghazghkull.

Posts Soon

Hey guys, just popping in to let you know that I'm working on the Astra Militarum 7th Edition Tactica series right now and the first article should be posted up tomorrow night. I've had an incredibly busy day and the rest of this week is shaping up to be a scorcher, so I probably won't be able to get regular posts again until the end of the week. I hope you are all having a great day; I'll be in touch soon!
