Citadel Astra Militarum Cadian Defence Force

Product Information

Macharian PDF- The Macharian PDF hails from the world of Macharia in the Cadian Sector, named after the great hero and saint, Lord Solar Macharius. They are known for being devout followers of the imperial scripture, adorning their Veterans with purity seals and other religious paraphernalia. The Planetary Defense Force, known as the Cadian Interior Guard, was also counted among one of the best military organizations. This is because one out of every ten Cadians, regardless of their skills, was assigned to the Interior Guard, resulting in some of the best soldiers spending their entire military career on Cadia. [1b] Miniatures are supplied unpainted and may require some assembly. We recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue, Paints, Brushes, and Accessories. Cadia stands upon the only known reliable route out of the Eye of Terror and thus is one of the most strategically vital worlds in the entire Imperium of Man. There are other routes out of the Eye, but none are stable like the Cadian Gate and no military force of any true size can venture forth from the Eye without first passing through it. The exact reasons for the existence of this unusual region of stability is unknown, though many Magi of the Adeptus Mechanicus believe it is due to the presence of the famous Cadian Pylons.

Each new dawn was greeted by a scattering of ships from the Great Exodus, those fortunate souls who had braved the Empyrean tempests and lived to tell of it. Again and again the fighting escalated, the fires of war that had burned Cadia to cinders roaring to life anew upon the other worlds of the Cadian System, as well as those of the Belis Corona and Agripinaa Systems. Erebus Defence Legion - The Erebus Defence Legion defended their homeworld of Tarsis Ultra alongside the Ultramarines 4th Company and the Mortifactors Chapter during the invasion of Hive Fleet Leviathan in 999.M41. This conflict left a terrible mark upon the world, but Tarsis Ultra was finally transformed into an uninhabitable Dead World by the actions of the Iron Warriors' Warsmith Honsou, who unleashed a terrible biological weapon known as the Heraclitus Virus into Tarsis Ultra's Tyranid-altered biosphere. The Cadian Defence Force offers a glimpse into the strategic depth and versatility of the Astra Militarum, its troops and vast artillery, making it an essential addition for collectors and players alike. Cadian Defence Force Datasheets As snow begins to fall and friends gather to exchange gifts, who better to loot an enticing bounty of presents than the Beast Snaggas? These green-hued big game hunters are ready to scrap, led by legendary everything-killer Mozrog Skragbad – who can be built as a standard Beastboss on Squigosaur, if you prefer – at the head of three Squighog Boyz and a Nob on Smasha Squig. They’re joined by a Painboss medic and a mob of 10 Beast Snagga Boyz, who mount up in a psyker-strapped Kill Rig – which can alternatively be built as a Hunta Rig and a psychic Wurrboy on foot – to keep up with the cavalry for a jolly old winter punch-up. Cadian Defence Force Perhaps, just as a veteran can lead lesser men to deeds of great heroism, Cadia had inspired those worlds around it to defend every nation and city to the last bullet. Perhaps Cadia's surviving soldiery lent strength through their hunger for retribution. Perhaps those battered by the storm simply fought for survival. Whatever the reason, the defenders of the Cadian Gate resolved to uphold the virtues of its lost lynchpin world come what may.So what do you get inside and how much would it cost you normally?

Because of its heavy concentration on military matters, Cadia's global economy is dominated by the manufacture of various weapons systems and exports vast numbers of weapons to its neighbouring Imperial planets, while importing very little other than food. Many other worlds use Cadian equipment to arm their own Imperial Guard regiments, which explains how the Cadian Patterns of personal armour and infantry weapons have become the standard for the entire Astra Militarum. Majority Ballistic Skill of 4+ to hit means you suddenly get very inaccurate if your enemy inflicts hit penalties on you It was the fourth world of the Cadian System, and its surface contained a wide variety of terrain types and ecosystems, including frozen tundras, temperate plains, wind-swept moors and the great native axel-tree forests. The one thing all investigators agreed upon was that the pylons were responsible for the stable Warp-corridor known as the Cadian Gate. Adepts conjectured that they emitted a becalming signal, taming the roiling energies of the Immaterium around the Cadian System.

Bury your foes in a relentless tide of claws with the Onslaught Swarm, one of the most terrifying assemblages of Tyranid monstrosities ever stuffed into a box. A massive Norn Emissary joins up with a Winged Hive Tyrant – which can also be built as a ground bound Hive Tyrant or Swarmlord – to lead a tide of 20 leaping, scything Hormagaunts and 10 ravening Genestealers, with a pair of Ripper Swarms to boot. Exalted of the Red Angel The heavy weapon squad is a lot of boom being toted by six extremely killable dudes. For this reason, many people build them as mortar teams so they can hide behind cover and bombard the enemy in safety, though a powerful stratagem from the Greater Good has created more of a place for other types as a high risk, high reward first strike unit. This kit will put a bunch of useful heavy weapon components in your spare bitz box; see the Sneaky Build Tips below. Start a new army or expand an existing collection, and save money compared to buying the kits individually Had Cadia not been famous for holding so long against the odds, it is likely the other planets in the system would have capitulated or given up almost immediately. No normal world could stand in the face of the horrendous, sanity-devouring armies that descended upon the Cadian Gate in such terrifying measure. However, the wider systems of Cadia, Belis Corona, and Agripinaa stood fast. This book dramatically expands what you can do with some extra rules for making your own regiments, using tank aces, and adding loads more depth to your elite option for core troops: the Tempestus Scions. For more info, see our rules breakdown on the Guard stuff from this book here. Note that everything here will likely be rendered obsolete when the 9th edition of the main Codex comes out.

HQ: Leman Russ tank commander (battle cannon, lascannon, multi-melta sponsons, heavy stubber) 245pts So Astra Militarum on a budget. Before I dive into this I should set out some aims and limitations. Variation Perhaps the most unusual and significant feature of Cadia were the mysterious Pylons, structures of unknown origins that predated the planet's colonization by man. Five thousand, eight hundred ten intact Pylons were spread out across the surface of Cadia, with a further two thousand either buried or in various states of disrepair. No two were identical in design, but each one rose to precisely half a kilometer in height and extended a quarter-kilometer into the ground. Each Pylon also featured slim, winding tunnels machined into them, each one no wider than a man's head and exactly two hundred fifty meters long. [1b] [2] Some 40 standard years before the outbreak of the Horus Heresy, Cadia was a world inhabited by a primitive race of violet-eyed humans who worshipped the four Chaos Gods, probably a remnant of Mankind that had turned to the Ruinous Powers during the hardships of the Age of Strife. Prompted by the so-called Pilgrimage of the Primarch Lorgar of the Word Bearers Legion to discover whether or not the Gods once worshipped by adherents of the Old Faith of the Word Bearers' homeworld of Colchis actually existed, Lorgar journeyed with his Word Bearers Legion's Chapter of the Serrated Sun to what was then the fringes of known Imperial space as part of the 1301st Expeditionary Fleet of the Great Crusade. Cadia had a special and honoured place in the history of Mankind. Cadia stood upon the edge of the Eye of Terror within a narrow corridor of stable space called the Cadian Gate. This formed the one and only predictable passage between the Chaos-infested Daemon Worlds of the Eye of Terror and Terra.Another recent addition to the grim darkness of the 41 st millennium, the Leagues of Votann get another box set! Thankfully, this one is better than the Boarding Patrol the space dwarves got with some nice units. Two vehicles, two squads of the best unit in the Index, and two characters to round it off. Games Workshop also thought about the meta, as the Grimnyr can’t join any unit as a leader, but that just leaves him as a scoring unit as many high ranked LoV players have used them!
