Games Workshop keeps dropping the hot releases, and today we have a new Astra Militarum Guard bundle with an exclusive formation. Come see the latest!

Via Games Workshop

Looks like the guard get their first confirmed new rules, however they’re only in the exclusive Hammerblow formation, and may be sold out already in some countries!

Battlegroup Hammerblow formation

 

Appropriately named for their intensely aggressive tactics on Agrellan, Battlegroup Hammerblow were commanded by Colonel Schwarznek – a name associated with a desire for carnage. The Scout Sentinels roamed ahead of their comrades, calling in airborne Scion support at the the first hint of enemy presence. Once the Tau were engaged, the Hammerblow’s collective armoured might poured fire and hate in massive quantities onto the battlefield, damaging the Empire’s advance enough to justify their attrition.

This huge bundle brings you an immediate collection of the Astra Militarum’s finest! You’ll receive a huge number of miniatures – two Cadian Command Squads, two sets of Cadian Shock Troops, three Sentinels, two sets of Militarum Tempestus Scions, three Leman Russ’, four Chimeras, a Valkyrie and a Baneblade! Armour, air support and troops in one package. Includes web exclusive rules*!

*rules are in English only.

Very interesting little formation, seems like from the description that perhaps there will be some bonuses to shooting perhaps re-rolls or preferred enemy?  I wonder how the Valkyrie plays into the formation as the troops seem to all have transports, gunship perhaps?
Quantity is it’s own quality!
