Opis
The Astra Militarum is the largest cohesive fighting force in the galaxy.
Fed by a constant tithe of soldiers raised from hundreds of thousand of worlds,
its regiments form the vast bulk of Humanity’s martial power. On countless
worlds, the mortal soldiers of the Astra Militarum march in their billions to
war, lasguns and bayonets readied to face any foe.
Batteries of heavy
artillery fling innumerable tons of ordnance at the oncoming enemy, spearheads
of heavily armoured tanks grind forward unstoppably, cannons roaring, cavalry
squadrons mount swift counter-charges on the flanks, while squads of elite
operatives descend from gunships on missions of vital importance. Meanwhile,
officers add their shouted orders to the great cacophony of war, exhorting
their troops to fight all the harder. Wielded with the appropriate will, the
Astra Militarum will pulverise whatever stands between them and
victory.
