Detachment Rule
Armoured Fist
Astra Militarum mechanised forces combine heavy armour with elite infantry. Reliant on speed and short-ranged firepower, the armoured spearhead hurtles through the enemy line and deploys its cargo of shock troops to cut the enemy down with volleys of lasgun fire.
Each time an ASTRA MILITARUM model from your army makes a ranged attack in a turn in which it disembarked from a Transport, add 1 to the Wound roll.
