Combat Patrol: Astra Militarium
Because sometimes victory requires discipline, bravery, and running at tanks with electrified spears.
The soldiers of the Astra Militarum don’t rely on ancient genetic tinkering or dark pacts — just grit, training, a worrying amount of las-fire, and the occasional cavalry charge that makes everyone else on the battlefield shout, “They’re doing what now?”
At the heart of this force marches a Cadian Command Squad — the officers who yell orders, the veterans who keep them alive long enough to finish yelling them, and the standard-bearer whose real job is to dramatically wave the flag at the exact right moment. They’re backed by hardened Kasrkin, elite troopers with weapons hot enough to toast a heretic from orbit. And for when subtlety completely fails (as is tradition), the Attilan Rough Riders thunder in with explosive lances and sheer bravado.
This Combat Patrol box gives you a complete Drayden’s Lance force — perfect for starting a new Astra Militarum army or reinforcing an existing one. It’s balanced for tight, tactical Combat Patrol games of Warhammer 40,000, and saves you money over grabbing everything separately.
