Warhammer 40,000 - Astra Militarium: Codex

Publisher: Games Workshop

The Astra Militarum is the largest military force in the galaxy.

Permanently supplied by a tithe of soldiers levied on hundreds of thousands of worlds, its regiments form the backbone of humanity's martial power.

On countless planets, the deadly soldiers of the Astra Militarum go into battle by the billions, ready to face the enemy with the laser rifle and bayonet.

Batteries of heavy artillery fired inconceivable amounts of shells at the approaching enemy, spearheads of heavily armored tanks advanced inexorably with their roaring guns, squadrons of cavalry led nimble counterattacks on the flanks.

While squads of elite agents descend from drop planes to complete missions of the utmost importance.

Meanwhile, officers add their vociferous orders to the unbearable cacophony of war, urging their troops to fight beyond their limits.

Ruled by a powerful enough will, the Astra Militarum will crush everything that stands between it and victory.
