Codex: Astra Militarum

The Astra Militarum stands as the first, and often the last, line of defence for Humanity. It is the largest coordinated fighting force in the galaxy, its vast ranks drawn from countless worlds and united by unshakable faith in the God-Emperor. Through grit, discipline, and overwhelming firepower, Astra Militarum armies grind their enemies into dust with massed lasgun volleys, thunderous artillery barrages, and mighty battle tanks.
