The Hammer of the Emperor
Astra Militarum
“There Is Only War”
Numbering in the untold billions, the regiments of the Astra Militarum are drawn from ten thousand worlds, each with its own traditions, uniforms, and battle-cries, yet united in service to the God-Emperor of Mankind. Where the Space Marines strike like a scalpel, the Guard advances like a tidal wave — endless ranks of lasgun-armed infantry backed by thundering Leman Russ tanks, screaming Basilisk artillery, and the earth-shaking tread of Baneblade super-heavies. Guardsmen know they are expendable, and yet they hold the line anyway, for every world lost to the Ruinous Powers or ravenous xenos is a world that may never be reclaimed. Commissars watch for cowardice with bolt pistol in hand, for in the Imperial Guard, courage is enforced as often as it is inspired.
Army Rule
Regimental Orders
Officers in your army can issue Orders to friendly ASTRA MILITARUM units within range, granting bonuses such as re-rolling hit rolls, moving again, or firing Overwatch, representing the iron discipline of the Imperial Guard's chain of command.
Voice of Command
Each ASTRA MILITARUM OFFICER can issue one Order each Command phase to a friendly ASTRA MILITARUM INFANTRY unit within 6", selected from a list including 'First Rank, Fire! Second Rank, Fire!', 'Move! Move! Move!', and 'Take Aim!'.

Rules digest
How This Force Plays
Our own plain-speech digest of how this force's rules hang together — army rule, detachment choice, command-point economy and roster shape. Written by us, not reproduced from the pack; the official PDF is the only authority on exact wording.
Read the official pack PDFHow the army rule shapes play
Every list in this force answers to Regimental Orders, so plan your turns around it rather than treating it as a bonus. A second layer — Voice of Command — lets you tilt the same roster toward a different way of fighting before the first dice are rolled. Exact wording lives in the official pack PDF; the summary here is ours.
Choosing a detachment
You commit to one of 6 detachments (Abhuman Auxiliaries, Bridgehead Strike, Designation Force, Steel Hammer, Armoured Infantry, Grizzled Company), and that choice locks in both your detachment rule and the 18 enhancements available to your characters. Pick the detachment that matches the units you already own, then buy enhancements last.
Command points and stratagems
There are 27 stratagems on offer, costing between 1 and 2 CP. In a normal game you will bank enough for two or three interventions a turn at most, so decide before deployment which one or two plays you are saving command points for.
Building to a points limit
The roster runs to 92 datasheets. The cheapest entry comes in at 30 points and the most expensive at 430, so a single flagship choice can eat a fifth of a 2,000-point army. Use the list builder to keep the Rule of Three, character limits and your points ceiling honest as you add units.
