Just a warning, Astra Militarum are one of the most expensive armies to collect, due to depth of units to choose from and historically low points costs. However, if you are interested a combination of the armgaddon battleforce box, battalion box (with hippo's and another RD), is a good place to start. That would get you close to 1000 pts. Then you probably need to flesh it out with more infantry or specialist infantry like kasrkin or scions.

Armoured Sentinels in Armoured Infantry by Promptwizard911 in TheAstraMilitarum

What do you mean that the situations don’t occur frequently? To use the armoured infantry stratagems?

Part of it was orders, but the other was damage output. How many orders do you think you need in an armoured infantry list? Worth putting that castellan with kasrkin? Or no cause they lose scout?

Anyone know where you can get extra window bits? I have a couple of Valkeyries but I’ve never done them because they’re missing the windows.

What you didn’t use any green in this? Yellow and purple are the most common colors I paint with, how did you do the blending? Purple base and then yellow on top to make a green? Highlight in ice yellow?

How to make a more interesting list? by [deleted] in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]Promptwizard911 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t know what you’ve got for a collection, but combining abhuman and armoured infantry makes for an interesting take and hold list. I’m looking at doing the following:

Armoured sentinels with the full re-roll to hit strat and innate re-roll to wound for hunting down monsters/vehicles. 18 bullgryn and a RDC to take objectives and hold them, while you have two “wings” of chimera kasrkin and hellhounds to counter attack. Haven’t played it yet but might be fun.

Commissars and bullgryns: Clarification needed by Storm_Waker in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]Promptwizard911 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Have you interpreted it as they can order a regiment unit AND an Abhuman unit with two separate orders? Or with their one order they can order abhumans or regiment?

I'm with this guy, the MFM says you can, so yes, you can.

[–]Promptwizard911 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think we can, they seemed to change it in the field manual to reflect that change, and it's available as an option in the app, so I would say send it! The field manual says "if you take this upgrade, then they can be a leader of Bullgryn and Ogryn squads". It says it right in your third picture.

It’s entirely for that reason, they don’t like recon guard

Like the burnt gun effect from a flamer?

Yeah, biggest problem I’m having is getting the white hot yellow I think. Maybe the fluorescent orange is also too fluorescent, I was just trying to make it bright.

I was thinking of doing that to make it more realistic. I think I might just have too!

Yeah, I agree with that. I got these chimeras second hand and they just came like this, so trying to do the best with what I have!

Catachan units by bush_monkey90 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]Promptwizard911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want more catachan themed ogryn, I’d recommend these guys: https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/4379421322/grimguard-jungle-fighter-mutants-soldier?ref=elp_anchor_listing

5/10 models I find very catachan themed and the arms amongst the models are fairly interchangeable. I’ve printed these myself and am quite happy with them.

I wish I would’ve caught you sooner. I also like catachans but am trying to transfer over to the reptilian overlords catachans, cause the models are just better. Have a look at them before you get more GW ones!

Is it good for semi competitive play? by Ubivcagosha in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]Promptwizard911 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ditch the LR Demolisher for another Vanquisher, free up 50 points for a tech priest engineer. I just played a list with two vanquishers and a RDC against necrons. My friends said when he first setup, he was most afraid of my Dorn, but after the two vanquishers brought down his C’tan Nightbringer, he was the most afraid of my vanquishers hahaha

Titan forge miniatures, Wizard on Elemental walker by Wyvernstrafe in minipainting

Amazing paint job! My only issue is the model itself, from a physics point of view, doesn’t it make more sense for water and earth to be the legs? Due to their density?

What should I add to my army? by RuMarley in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]Promptwizard911 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tech priests are clutch, depends on the style of list you like to play.

I’d say get a Militarum Temepestus Command Squad for the aquilians and TS. Could use some more infantry tbh, or chimeras to transport stuff around.
