Come get the skinny on Games Workshop’s latest formation for Warhammer 40k that is bringing yet another alpha strike to the game!

This is a deceptively simply formation that can land a ton of extra firepower on the first turn, and combos well with existing formations for the marines as well. Plus Astartes tactical doctrines and the formation composition itself can really make this one standout from both a power level, and hobby perspective.
Checkout just how good of a deal this formation’s box set is:
