Join the Black Library Celebration with Captain Messinius, this year’s fantastic commemorative miniature, who hits this week’s pre-order alongside the second wave of new Astra Militarum units.
Captain Messinius
This year’s Black Library Celebration miniature is none other than Captain Vitrian Messinius, the heroic White Consul who joined Roboute Guilliman’s Terran Crusade in the Dawn of Fire series by Guy Haley. The good Captain is covered in detail, including his ornate auramite power fist, and can be assembled either helmeted or unhelmeted.
Use a base of White Scar shaded with thin lines of Basilicanum Grey for his bright white armour , with Kantor Blue, Thousand Sons Blue, and Retributor Armour to pick out his cape and power fist. For the details use Khorne Red, Corvus Black, Iron Hands Steel, and Skeleton Horde, and use Gutrippa Flesh for his laurel wreath.
Combat Patrol: Astra Militarum
Build the backbone of a mighty new army with Combat Patrol: Astra Militarum, packed to the rafters with 28 miniatures including one Cadian Command Squad, two squads of Cadian Shock Troops, a Sentinel, and a Field Ordnance Battery, plus a sheet of nearly 600 decals to personalise your models. This is an excellent way to start afresh or expand your existing Astra Militarum force, and provides a balanced selection of units.*
Cadian Castellan
The Cadian Castellan is a field officer replete with hard-won experience who directs troops from the front. They can issue multiple orders every turn, and come with a choice of close combat weapons for when the fighting gets a little too close to the command tent.
Commissar
Your warriors would never flag in the line of duty, but if they did… well, it would be the Commissar’s duty to remind them of their loyalties. This stern (and more than a little intimidating) miniature can swap their chainsword for a power sword if the threat of combat warrants it.
Attilan Rough Riders
Who wouldn’t want to be an Attilan Rough Rider? Tearing across the battlefield, skewering tanks with melta-tipped hunting lances, sporting some of the finest headwear in the Astra Militarum… life in the Imperium’s premier cavalry regiment is nothing but good times. This set contains five Rough Riders with a wide variety of head options.
Cadian Upgrades
Add even greater variety to your hordes of Cadian Shock Troops with the Cadian Upgrades set, which contains 87 individual components. As well as a wide assortment of heads and arms, this upgrade pack adds a new tank commander, backpacks, weapons, and even a solemn memorial made from an unlucky Guardsman’s lasgun. You can use it to pose specialist medics, pathfinders, and wounded troopers.
Aegis Defence Line
No one can break the Astra Militarum when they’re dug in, and the Aegis Defence Line is the perfect redoubt. This set contains two defence lines each consisting of six connected barricades and a central command platform.
