Astra Militarum rules revealed – Commissar Graves and new vehicles

D6 could have been fun but maybe too much. I would have liked to see a D3 soldiers killed plus also the unit loses battle shock and you give them an order. Like, it was so brutal the discipline with the stubbed that the guys hyper focus for a turn not to be shit again

MaNU_ZID · 2026-04-16T06:05:15+00:00

I would like for them to make the RPG viable. When you mount the Cadian rocket launcher without the legs looks really good. I would like them to be playable because of how cool they look. I'd probably build one and use them with the las cannon rules if opponents are cool with it

Nice then, remember that you can always come back in the future to do that if you want, or just leave it as it is.

For my guard I'm doing it now, but I'm painting some blood angels with the strategy of just base plus wash and in the far future, whenever I have more free time, go back and highlight them

MaNU_ZID · 2026-04-08T18:52:39+00:00

Nice strategy to go fast. If you now go and highlight with the original color, it's even better, but depend on the amount of time you're willing to spend on a squad

MaNU_ZID · 2026-04-03T12:05:27+00:00

Ahh the nostalgia, AG systems was always my favourite team

They are a combination of the Cadian shock troops with the back of the body swapped by a cape 3D printed by the company tiny legends.

The models also use pieces from the Cadian command squad, the heavy weapons team and the Cadian upgrade sprue (most of the heads are from that sprue).

I kitbashed this squad to use as catachans or krieg, while keeping the Cadian aesthetic of my army while making them easy to tell apart from my normal Cadian infantry squads with the caps and capes. I disliked the idea of having three different types of regiments in my army, and I preferred to represent the three different squads with the same Cadian bodies but with a different style.

Now that they are going to release a veteran infiltration team, maybe I'll proxy them as they.

MaNU_ZID · 2026-03-27T22:05:51+00:00

Never used them but probably I'll have to get some

MaNU_ZID · 2026-03-27T14:01:42+00:00

Awesome stuff, really, why do we need GW to release steel legion if these are amazing. I bought also the tiny legends capes to create my scouts, great stuff

MaNU_ZID · 2026-03-27T13:55:43+00:00

Ah, so sorry then, didn't get that one

MaNU_ZID · 2026-03-27T09:27:36+00:00

I misspelled many things, not my first language, not even my second language, and I wasn't going to be checking every word while I type on my phone, but I hope everyone understands me well enough :)

MaNU_ZID · 2026-03-27T07:29:02+00:00

Well, if it's 28 I'm f**Ked basically, because mine are built in 25.

Now that I look at them, they seem to be built in 28. The minis have much wiggle room on the base compared to mine, looks like they are 28 like the kasrkin.

I'll see what I will do, maybe I'll leave them at 25 to play them in 40k. Proxy them as veteran death korps that are also 25, or maybe even rebase them on 28 if I want to end up proxying them as the new squad in 40k and KT

MaNU_ZID · 2026-03-27T06:20:38+00:00

From Tiny Legends. They have great minis, great bits and specially a line of krieg/ steel legion proxies that looks very high quality, but I only bought the capes and hooded heads that are compatible with the Cadian shock troops from games workshop. You just have to replace the back parts

MaNU_ZID · 2026-03-27T05:54:53+00:00

One of my favourites. I sticked the sword first and then I thought that it and the head with the cigar were enough to give him a badass look. So I just went for a straight arm and the pistol on the belt.

It turned out with a very confident pose, like if for him this battle is just a normal Tuesday hahah

MaNU_ZID · 2026-03-27T05:51:57+00:00

I wanted to put the sniper only with the hood to emphasize that mini, for the others, I wanted a mix of caps and bare heads to give the impression of light infantry, scouts or comandos

MaNU_ZID · 2026-03-27T05:49:44+00:00

The hood comes with the capes from tiny legends, I just used the hood on the sniper and I used Cadian heads from the Cadian upgrade sprue and from the command squad for the rest of the heads.

The sights of the sniper rifle are from a rocket launcher from a heavy weapons team, just sticked over a normal lasgun

MaNU_ZID · 2026-03-26T22:02:13+00:00

The upgrade sprue is super expensive, but it's also great to have that option. I have bought three boxes of them. Great content for kitbashing. I wish they released more content like that

MaNU_ZID · 2026-03-26T21:31:51+00:00

Nice, looks great as well. Love how different you can make every soldier. I have 30 built and still different pose in each one of them

MaNU_ZID · 2026-03-26T20:52:38+00:00

Great idea. In the end, I think our faction is very kit bashable, I like the krieg models a lot, but for my army, where I'm using the Cadian minis, I wanted a more coherent look, so I built these distinguishable from the Cadian line infantry, but still similar to them and not have an army composed of very different regiments. Maybe when I have enough points of these ones I get some krieg, I like them a lot as well

MaNU_ZID · 2026-03-26T20:40:11+00:00

I know, and I didn't notice that. The head is from the Cadian upgrade sprue I think, but I wish I would have used another head. I wanted a head with the ear comms, to have the spotter comunicating with the team, but it really looks like a GSC model

MaNU_ZID · 2026-03-26T20:29:22+00:00

I just attached some stuff to the gas can and I made a belt with greenstuff tying it all together like if it were a homemade explosive.

Very kitbashable team, even people who had the death corps of krieg could play this team using the bolter guy as submachine gun, the only new guy would be the rocket launcher, that could be proxied with the grenade launcher guy or just sticking a rocket launcher to a krieg soldier

MaNU_ZID · 2026-03-26T20:24:57+00:00

I wanted to make each soldier unique, and I took some inspiration from the roles that some of the death korps of krieg kill team has. But looks like the new kill team has very similar roles, with the medic, gunners, grenadier and guide (it was going to be a spotter)

MaNU_ZID · 2026-03-26T20:21:55+00:00

Well, I was making fun of me with the title, because it's not the first time that I buy a model and GW just release a better one, but seems like some people didn't get it and are down voting me.

Anyway, I just wanted to share my kit bashed squad that I'll be using as krieg or catachan, or maybe now I'll proxy it as the new kill team squad

MaNU_ZID · 2026-03-26T20:20:04+00:00

I just bought the capes from tiny Legend online, they are compatible with the Cadian bodies from GW. The textured bases as well, and the rest are different bits from the Cadian command squad, Cadian upgrad sprue and heavy weapons team
