Armageddon Battalion Astra Militarum Warhammer 40,000 | Games Workshop

Armageddon Battalion: Astra Militarum is a powerful army boxed set for Warhammer 40,000, designed for players who want to field a mechanised Imperial Guard force ready for the brutal battlefields of Armageddon. This box combines heavy armour, mobile support vehicles and disciplined infantry, creating a strong foundation for an Astra Militarum army.

In the lore of Warhammer 40,000, the Astra Militarum form the backbone of the Imperium’s military might. Countless regiments of ordinary humans face xenos, heretics and monsters with discipline, artillery, armour and massed firepower. Armageddon Battalion: Astra Militarum captures that identity perfectly: this is not a subtle special-operations force, but a hard-hitting military formation built to hold ground, seize objectives and crush the enemy under steel and fire.

The box includes 1 Rogal Dorn Battle Tank, 2 Hippogriff AFVs, 1 Centaur RSV and 10 Cadian Shock Troops. The Rogal Dorn Battle Tank gives the force a powerful armoured centrepiece, while the Hippogriff AFVs and Centaur RSV add mobility and fresh battlefield character. The Cadian Shock Troops provide the infantry core, ready to secure objectives, support the vehicles and fight under the orders of the Imperium.

The Armageddon theme gives this set strong narrative weight. Armageddon is one of the most iconic war zones in Warhammer 40,000 — a world of industrial wastelands, ruined cities, armoured columns and desperate wars against the Orks. The Astra Militarum fit this setting perfectly, representing the massed defenders who hold the line through discipline, sacrifice and overwhelming firepower.

For players, this box is especially appealing because it immediately creates a force with a clear battlefield identity: infantry supported by heavy armour and mechanised vehicles. The Rogal Dorn provides durability and destructive firepower, the Cadian Shock Troops give the army a reliable infantry base, and the Hippogriff AFV and Centaur RSV add new collector value, as this box is described as the first place to get those vehicles for Astra Militarum.

For hobbyists, Armageddon Battalion: Astra Militarum offers excellent modelling and painting potential. Tanks, light vehicles, Cadian infantry, regimental markings and vehicle transfers allow you to create a cohesive military collection. You can paint the force in a classic Cadian scheme, a harsher Armageddon-inspired palette, an industrial desert theme or your own custom regiment. The included transfer sheets help add unit markings and battlefield detail.

Armageddon Battalion: Astra Militarum is an original Games Workshop product for Warhammer 40,000. The box contains 14 multipart plastic miniatures, 574 plastic components, 10 Citadel 25mm Round Bases, 1 Cadian Transfer Sheet, 1 Astra Militarum Vehicle Transfer Sheet and 1 construction guide. The models are supplied unpainted and require assembly.

Product originality
