Astra Militarum Cadian Heavy Weapons Squad

Description The Astra Militarum Cadian Heavy Weapons Squad is a great support choice to your army. Most of an infantry regiment is made up of rank-and-file Guardsmen. Soldiers with an affinity for bulky and more complicated weaponry are often gathered together within a dedicated heavy weapons company. Individual squads are then assigned to other companies as platoon-support units, where they bolster the battle line and provide close fire support. This allows an Astra Militarum infantry regiment to bring heavy weapons to bear. This can be done without relying on the armored fighting vehicles from other divisions. Those who serve in a Heavy Weapons Company have but one, straightforward role. That is to to obliterate any enemies who cannot be overwhelmed by massed las-fire. Due to their size and bulk, each heavy weapon is crewed by a team of two troopers. The set comprises three Cadian Heavy Weapons Teams, each consisting of a gunner and a loader. Included are the options to equip these teams with any of the following weapons. A lascannon, heavy bolter, missile launcher, autocannon or mortar. This Astra Militarum Cadian Heavy Weapons Squad kit is supplied in 123 plastic components. It also comes with 3 Citadel 60mm round bases.
