1 · Start here

Astra Militarum Combat Patrol $170 / £100

Cadian Command, 10 Kasrkin, 10 Attilan Rough Riders (~20 models)

Elite-leaning; lacks cheap massed Guardsmen so undersells the horde identity

2 · Complete your army ~1,000 pts (Incursion)

The elite-leaning box (Cadian Command, Kasrkin, Attilan Rough Riders) badly undersells the horde — it has no cheap massed Guardsmen, no tank, and no Order-generating commander. Add bodies, armour, and Leontus.

Cadian Shock Troops x2 The essential cheap massed Battleline the box is missing — your scoring backbone. 🛒

Leman Russ Battle Tank x1 Centerpiece tank for firepower and anti-tank the elite box lacks. 🛒

Chimera x1 Transport to deliver infantry and protect your command squad. 🛒

Lord Solar Leontus x1 Order-generating HQ — without enough Orders the army's output collapses. 🛒

3 · Competitive core — what winning lists run

Built from top-placing tournament lists (Tabletop Battles' Competitive Innovations) over the last ~8 weeks — a data-driven competitive core.

Start here — priorities toward ~1,000pts
