THE HAMMER OF THE EMPEROR!

The Astra Militarum is the largest cohesive fighting force in the galaxy. Fed by a constant tithe the soldiers raised from hundreds of thousands of worlds, its regiments form the vast bulk of Humanity's martial power, and are something all that stand in the way of xenos raiders or heretics in thrall to the Dark Gods. On countless worlds, the mortal soldiers of the Astra Militarum march in their readied to face any foe. Batteries of heavy artillery fling innumerable tons of ordnance at the oncoming enemy; spearheads of heavily armoured tanks - some so large they resemble mobile fortresses - grind forward unstoppably, cannons roaring; cavalry squadrons mount swift counter-charges on the flanks, while squads of elite operatives descend from gunships on missions of vital importance. Meanwhile, officers add their shouted orders to the great cacophony of war, marshalling their troops in strategic master plans. Wielded with the appropriate will, the Astra Militarum will pulverise any foe.
