Another one of the big reveals for Warhammer 40,000 last week was the introduction of a brand new plastic range for the Astra Militarum. The Death Korps Of Krieg are getting the full regiment treatment from Games Workshop with brand new plastic kits for HQ choices, troops, heavy weapons and more.

Lord Marshal Dreir // Warhammer 40,000

Leading the way is the mighty strategist and warlord, Lord Marshal Varnan Dreir. He is a tough, grizzled veteran who fights alongside the common troopers and on the front lines as often as possible. He equally expects any who follows him into battle to do everything they can in the name of the Imperium, however horrific it might be. He rides into battle on the back of ES819 which has been cloned and "remade" many times, leading to folks believing that the mount is immortal.

A fully reworked Krieg Command Squad will also be available for you to pick up which features a medic, standard bearer and more. They are led by a Krieg Commissar who has taken command over.

As well as the new characters, you'll also be able to get new specialist troops for your Krieg-themed armies. The Command Engineers are good for close combat, armed with shotguns and flamers.

They can also make use of a mine for blowing their enemies to kingdom come! This is a great set for those wanting to play out the trench-based clashes of the Death Korps Of Krieg. I sense a lot of folks are going to be starting a new Astra Militarum army in the next few months.

As well as the Combat Engineers, the Death Riders have been reworked from their original Forge World Resin kit and they get an excellent new set of plastic miniatures.

You can use these as the honour guard for the Lord Marshal and you can arm them with explosive-tipped lances or lascarbines. Add a few of these units into your army and you'll be able to secure objectives across the battlefield.

Big Guns Never Tire

Supporting the Krieg from afar, you can also call on the Astra Militarum's love of big guns. A full Heavy Weapons Squad features weapons for every occasion.

You'll be able to give your Heavy Weapons Squads lascannons, auto-guns and heavy flamers. There is a weapon for every occasion. They have all been tweaked and updated to give off proper Krieg vibes, carrying through that World War I aesthetic.

The same goes for the big Artillery Team.

This can be built with a Heavy Mortar, Heavy Quad Launcher, Rocket Launchers or the Siege Cannon. That is some siege-breaking prowess that would make Rogal Dorn a happy man.

New Army Set & Codex

Most of the new releases will find themselves as part of the brand new Army Set that will celebrate the release of the Death Korps Of Krieg.

The new 10th Edition Codex for the Astra Militarum will also be available shortly after the launch of the Death Korps Of Krieg. It will come with a new, themed cover and all of the rules for running the Astra Militarum on the tabletop as the Death Korps Of Krieg and Cadians.

Could you be tempted to build a brand new Astra Militarum army themed around the Death Korps Of Krieg?
