Bridgehead Strike
Detachment Rules
Only The Best
Each time an ASTRA MILITARUM INFANTRY model from your army makes a ranged attack, re‐roll a Hit roll of 1.
The soldiers who make up such targeted strike forces are hand‑picked for their excellence and – where possible – provided with rigorous additional training to prepare them for conditions and foes on the ground. 
Fire Zone Purge
Each time a MILITARUM TEMPESTUS model from your army makes a ranged attack in a turn in which it was set up on the battlefield from Reserves or it disembarked from a TRANSPORT, add 1 to the Hit roll.
Key to this force’s mission is the swift purgation of local enemy forces through sudden deployment and focused firefights. As such, whether they hit the ground from a low‑altitude drop or deploy from armoured transports, the soldiers of this formation are trained to find targets and start shooting the instant the foe is in sight.
