via Games Workshop

Cadian Castellan $35

Cadian Castellans are strategic senior officers, often formally ranked as Captains or Colonels. These authoritative leaders of the Astra Militarum’s forces bear a panoply of armaments and insignia that mark their high office, wielding their array of weapons as skilfully as they command the countless soldiers beneath them.

This multipart plastic kit builds a Cadian Castellan – a senior leader of the Astra Militarum. This hugely customisable miniature can be armed with a las pistol, bolt pistol, or plasma pistol in one hand, or instead point sternly forward. In the other hand, they can wield a chainsword, power sword, boltgun, or a power fist with a back-mounted generator. The kit also includes a variety of aesthetic options, including a choice of two torso poses, various arm poses, four distinctive heads, and accessories such as pistol holsters, purity seals, pouches, and a sheathed sword.

The miniature also features a scenic base, allowing the Castellan to be posed in an appropriately commanding and heroic manner.

This kit comprises 38 plastic components and comes with 1x Citadel 28.5mm Round Base. This miniature is supplied unassembled and unpainted – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.

Attilan Rough Riders $60

Rough Riders are potent cavalry troops fielded by the Astra Militarum – the most famous of which are recruited from the steppes of Attila. Their combat skill and sheer mobility makes these horsemasters a powerful force, whether spearheading an attack or outflanking the foe. When the moment comes to launch a charge, the Rough Riders plunge their hunting lances into the foe and detonate the deadly tips, lending an explosive impact to the assault.

This multipart plastic kit builds five Attilan Rough Riders. These rugged warriors are mounted on horses loaded with battlefield gear, from flasks and bedrolls to holstered laspistols and saddle-slung lasguns. Each Rough Rider wields an explosive hunting lance, which can be built with an infantry-shredding frag tip or tank-busting melta tip. One Rough Rider can also be built with an electrical goad lance, and the kit includes components to assemble a Rough Rider Sergeant with a choice of two plumed heads and an optional power saber – brandished for the attack, or sheathed at the hip.

There are loads of cosmetic choices and interchangeable options to make each squad of Rough Riders your own – you’ll find different lance-wielding arm poses, a huge variety of multipart heads, and a host of front and rear bandoliers, laden with items like grenades, pouches, and a curved Attilan dagger.

This kit comprises 122 plastic components, and is supplied with 5x Citadel 60x35mm Oval Bases. Also included is a Cadian Infantry Transfer Sheet with 597 transfers, and an Astra Militarum Vehicle Transfer Sheet with 475 transfers from a variety of regiments. These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.

Commissar $35

Commissars are ruthless officers embedded throughout the Astra Militarum, charged with maintaining the morale, discipline, and loyalty of their regiment. With the power to summarily execute any soldier found wanting in their duties, they are feared, brooding figures. A Commissar’s devotion to the Imperium is without doubt, and they fight with fanatical bravery – inspiring the same fervour in those who fall under their watchful gaze.

This multipart plastic kit builds a Commissar – a disciplinary officer of the Officio Prefectus. Clad in the ominous longcoat and signature high-peaked cap of his station, this miniature is armed with a bolt pistol for delivering the Emperor’s justice – to friend or foe – and can be built with either a vicious chainsword or single-edged power sword, both with a wrist-mounted power pack. A scenic rubble base is also included, to elevate this grim overseer above the rank and file.

This kit comprises 12 plastic components, and is supplied with a Citadel 28.5mm Round Base. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.

Aegis Defence Line $75

Aegis Defence Lines are barricades comprising crenellated armoured panels that link together in a solid shield-wall. Thanks to their simple design they can be built and deployed at great speed, and are thus ideal for establishing defensive perimeters before more permanent structures can be erected.

This multipart plastic kit builds two Aegis Defence Lines – modular defensive structures that can be assembled and reconfigured to suit your battlefield. Each Aegis Defence Line is made up of six barricade sections – one with a distinct ‘broken’ appearance – and a single firing platform, plus a variety of connecting pillars and end sections. The core platform can be built with a choice of two different barriers, and the kit’s modular design allows you to rearrange each component as you see fit. You can even position multiple Aegis Defence Lines to create an unbroken wall suited to seeing off foes of any size.

This kit comprises 64 plastic components. These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.

Captain Messinius $38

Captain of the White Consuls Chapter, Vitrian Messinius is a veteran warrior and one of Guilliman’s most trusted advisors. His power fist is an ancient relic of masterful craft and rare potency, gifted to him by the Avenging Son himself for honourable service. Few are as loyal to the Imperial Regent’s vision as Messinius – as such, he is responsible for enacting the will of the primarch during the Indomitus Crusade, granted the rank of Lord Lieutenant within the Crusade Fleet and determined to see Guilliman’s ambitions through.

First released as part of the Black Library Celebration 2023, Captain Messinius takes to the battlefield clad in power armour decorated with the symbols of the White Consuls, Crusade Fleet Tertius, and the Lord Commander himself. He wears a unique power fist adorned with sculpted auramite, and wields a plasma pistol in his other hand. Messinius can be built with a wreath-topped helmet or a bare head, revealing his scarred features.

This kit comprises 14 plastic components, and is supplied with 1x Citadel 40mm Round Base. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.

Messinius uses the Primaris Captain rules available in Codex: Space Marines, allowing you to field him in your Adeptus Astartes armies straight away.

 

Combat Patrol: Astra Militarum $160

The Astra Militarum are the backbone of the Imperium’s largest armies. They are the men and women who hold the line, a bulwark standing between Humanity and a nightmarish galaxy of horrors. Amongst the Astra Militarum’s massed regiments, the born soldiers of Cadia are some of the most disciplined warriors to be found – tough marksmen trained for a lifetime of grim duty.

Prove that Cadia still stands with Combat Patrol: Astra Militarum! This boxed set provides you with all the units you need to start your army or expand an existing collection. The contents have been chosen to provide you with a stoic core for any Astra Militarum force, ideal for Combat Patrol-sized games – which require 25 Power Level’s worth of models – and will also save you money compared to buying the contents individually.
