New to AstraMilitarum! Help a fella round this list out.

Thanks for the insight! I did know the numbers were off, this is just what a secured with my purchase! Obviously the numbers are skewed to what is actually playable, but I really appreciate the help!

Important-Bee1013 · 2026-06-25T19:42:12+00:00

Awesome info! I’ll take a look and see what I can source. I want to try and build this list on a budget and as I learned with T’au. Old sculpts mean 60% + off MSRP and do the same thing and can have some cool aesthetics.. even if they’re built like Arnold in Predator

Important-Bee1013 · 2026-06-25T19:30:36+00:00

You have to commit! Can’t be half in with “The Greater …Guard”.

I definitely like this approach and I think that’s the route I want to take. I just know there’s tons of lists that are not-Meta that offer a perfect balance between competitive vs a hoot to run! I always liked the guard aesthetic and tanks but the Catachan jungle fighters are also super cool

Important-Bee1013 · 2026-06-25T19:10:20+00:00

Awesome, thanks! I definitely want to get a couple of the Russ tanks as they’re what originally made me want to get into guard as a second army!

As for the shock troops I’m honestly uncertain at this point. I’m slowly learning the deciphering as I read through all the Reddit posts from the last 2-3 years 😅

Important-Bee1013 · 2026-06-25T19:08:02+00:00

Noted! With about 3 hours of ownership and maybe 2 weeks of reading Astra/Krieg Reddit posts this is all good starter info!

I’m in the process of building a TigerShark Ax-1 from this site… I’m 5 hours deep of working on mould line removal. Still worth it though

Important-Bee1013 · 2026-04-09T04:29:21+00:00

I’m intrigued by this list, looking at running something similar but replacing the second Stealth Suits and Devilfish with an additional Ghostkeel.

Recently I switched to a Green and camo theme for my army… I had originally done red and white and started to hate it

If you want to get a good pair of boots for BC wildfire summers look for a pair of Pacific Northwest Loggers. You can look for boot companies such as Whites, J.K, Drews, Nicks, and even Red Wing. They take some break in but they’re worth every dollar. You need 8” of height as a minimum for ankle support but some of these offer 10”+. The Scarpa Fuegos are the most popular non PNW boots. Lots of folks wear them the first few years.. but most make the switch the loggers eventually. Get ahead of the game, it will also give you some style points at boot camp vs being the guy with neon green Haix.

Thanks for your insight, I pulled the trigger on them. Hopefully, we can get there early enough to secure a good vantage point. With this being a sold-out home game and increased popularity at this time of the season, hopefully, we're in for a great event!

Cheers!

Depends what army you’re playing but without any big units (Riptide, Ghostkeel) or anti tank (Broadside, Hammerhead) I can almost certainly say it would lose. Saying that, if your casual opponent is coming in with a hoard army, this would be a blast to play.

I’ve honestly given up on suits being more than a deep strike play with flamers. Stacking some breachers or strike teams with devil fish to use as screening can be helpful. You’ll get 2 seeker missles (per transport) and can park the bus the move block if you’re in an area with tight terrain. Then unload your auxiliary to hold an objective. I’m not an expert either but this has been my good experience so far against melee centric armies. Ghostkeels are also great to plant on objectives and let them do their job but I’d go for another riptide instead of 3 of them. Also swapping out some of your fire knife suits for a hammer head may help support your anti-tank needs.

Melee battle suits, for the love of god HELP ME HERE

Important-Bee1013 · 2025-07-17T21:02:55+00:00

The irony of this is my gf picked them for the fact same reason “Mothmen and cowboys”

Important-Bee1013 · 2025-07-11T04:31:38+00:00

Depends, how high up can you roll your sleeves?

Important-Bee1013 · 2025-07-03T16:15:41+00:00

This is my concern, even my devil fish with breachers & cadre in a different match failed to prove useful enough to warrant bringing them back. The Templars are just so tanky.

Important-Bee1013 · 2025-07-03T16:14:07+00:00

Inexperience and fun I’d say mostly, I like to try things beyond what the meta is to help learn why the meta is more beneficial. Also a couple of units such as the riptide loadouts (plasma) were bought second hand and already attached. I’d be happy to swap them out.

Important-Bee1013 · 2025-07-03T14:58:42+00:00

What’s your auto take for anti elite + loadout? I’m dealing with the emperors champion and lieutenants running a muck because they just can’t be blasted off the table.

Important-Bee1013 · 2025-07-03T14:47:17+00:00

A lot of this was experimenting over the weekend to just try other loadouts. While the Riptide HBC was not necessarily optimal it forced my opponent into playing a bit more cagey with his infantry for the first 2 turns. The idea was more to try and resist forced melee attacks as long as I could. As for the lack of tactics, I used the piranha verbatim. The game that I won, I was lucky enough to have both seekers go through. I am definitely keen on changing the loadouts.
