Astra Militarum Basic Land Vehicles Training - Chapter I

You know this well, citizen: The galaxy is in flames.

The Emperor’s vision of a unified Imperium is constantly threatened by traitors, xenos, and the forces of Chaos that seek nothing more than our complete annihilation.

But in this hour of darkness, a champion shall rise and cleanse us from this fire.

You shall rise.

You shall rise to command the finest vehicles the galaxy has ever seen. The conquerors of planets. The bane of our enemies. From the forges of Mars itself, the Mechanicus has primed your weapons to crush your enemies on any battlefield.

Our enemies are a stain that can only be removed with fire. Do so in the name of the Emperor!

Due to the ever-changing nature of battle, the tanks in this page have been designated as “World War II” and “Cold War” class vehicles. Below you will find all the information you need about friend and foe alike. Study it well.

Cold War Vehicle

Ignis Purgatio

Ignis Purgatio

The Sisters of Battle will stop at nothing to destroy the enemies of the Emperor. Armed with the best the Ecclesiarchy can provide, they are wielders of some of the most devastating weapons available in the Imperium. One such weapon is the resolute Ignis Purgatio Escalation Era Independents Medium Tank.

Gameplay Tips:

The Ignis Purgatio is equipped with a deadly 20-round autoloader plus missiles, making it an excellent support vehicle. The autoloader’s full clip can deal tremendous damage if not downright destroy a target. If they still stand, a missile from your Ignis launcher will make sure to purge the filth from the battlefield.

  • Load everything at the start of battle and time your reloads for the best damage chain.
  • Purge with fire!
  • Use your mobility to get to the best position quickly. Leave the hit-and-run tactics to the White Scars.

World War II Vehicles

Nemesis

Nemesis

Blessed is your duty, citizen. The revered Ultramarines have deployed one of their vehicles to aid you in your service. The Mercenary Tier X Nemesis Tank Destroyer is primed to the standards the XIIIth legion is known for. Yours is a privilege few have had, citizen. Use it in the name of the Emperor!

Gameplay Tips:

Designed as a heavily armored turreted tank destroyer with unique reload mechanics, the Nemesis is as versatile as the Ultramarines themselves. The ammo you use will influence your damage and reload time. Learn these mechanics, citizen. They will make all the difference in the heat of battle.

  • Standard shot: Normal reload time and damage
  • Charged shot: Longer reload time. Deals more damage
  • Rapid shot: Shorter reload time. Deals less damage

Monitor these and engage the enemy from afar. Your armor will deflect incoming rounds and help you earn defense XP.

  • Choose your ammo based on the enemy’s health and proximity
  • Help the frontlines from afar. You’re well-protected, but it’s still a tank destroyer.
  • Equip reload and gun-boosting perks to unleash glorious levels of punishment

Reaper's Scythe

Reaper's Scythe

Citizen, what you’re about to read relates to one of the most heretical things in the galaxy. The Mercenary Tier VIII Reaper's Scythe Medium Tank is but one of the filthy weapons deployed by the traitorous Chaos forces against us. Its presence alone stains the battlefield with its corruption. Make no mistake, this is a threat that must be dealt with as soon as you sight it in battle.

Gameplay Tips:

The Nurglite traitors have spawned this filth with protection in mind―It will be hard to damage it if it’s angled correctly. The cowardly heretics also deploy it as a support tank and use their vile, yet highly powerful, gun to slaughter your brethren while the frontline does all the work for them.

  • Its cannon deals tremendous alpha damage and has special HESH and HE rounds. Those with gun enhancements are the most dangerous.
  • If angled correctly, it can deflect incoming rounds and its armor is surprisingly resistant too.
  • The traitors combine these features to use it as a dangerous support vehicle. Don’t take it lightly.
