Astra Militarum 500 and 1,000 point lists

Having spent the last 18 months working on this Guard army, I’ve had very little in the way of practice games. While my preference is for narrative play, sometimes you have to focus on just getting the rules down for the game. Ninth edition 40k is a heck of a beast, the core rules themselves …

“It Doesn’t Feel Pity, Or Remorse, Or Fear, And It Absolutely Will Not Stop, Ever, Until You Are Dead!” - Kyle Reese, The Terminator, 1984 https://www.youtube.com/embed/B9V0bOB8sXQ I managed to squeeze in a 25 power level/ 500 point battle today with the young one.
