Infantry Miniatures Set Games Workshop Warhammer 40k Astra Militarum Cadian Heavy Weapon Squad (2023)

The Infantry Miniatures Set Games Workshop Warhammer 40k Astra Militarum Cadian Heavy Weapon Squad (2023) is a multipart plastic kit containing components to assemble three Cadian Heavy Weapons Teams for use in Warhammer 40,000 tabletop games. Each team consists of two heavy weapon troopers and can be assembled with a choice of heavy weapons, allowing flexible unit builds for both collecting and competitive play. The kit is intended for hobbyists who build, paint and field Astra Militarum forces in battles and campaigns.

Advantages

The kit offers high-detail plastic components designed for easy assembly and customization, with parts that allow a variety of weapon and pose options. Modular sprues enable building three complete two-man teams, and the set supports creating either mixed equipment teams or uniform support squads equipped with the same heavy weapon. The plastic construction is compatible with standard modelling adhesives, paints and basing supplies used in Warhammer 40,000 hobby work.

Suitable for

• Tabletop wargaming in Warhammer 40,000 as Astra Militarum heavy weapons teams
• Collecting and displaying Imperial Guard miniatures
• Hobby painting projects and conversions
• Forming dedicated support squads with uniform heavy weapon loadouts

Key specifications

• Contents: multipart plastic components to assemble three two-man heavy weapons teams
• Weapon options per team: lascannon, heavy bolter, missile launcher, autocannon or mortar
• Material: injection-moulded plastic suitable for hobby assembly and painting
• Compatibility: designed for use with Warhammer 40,000 Astra Militarum armies and standard 28mm-scale bases

How to use

Carefully remove parts from the sprues using sprue cutters and clean any mould lines or flash with a hobby knife or file. Assemble the troopers and chosen weapons using plastic model glue or suitable adhesive, following the fit of pegs and sockets provided on the components. Once assembled, prime the miniatures with a suitable primer and apply acrylic paints, washes and highlights to achieve the desired finish. Attach to bases compatible with your army and add basing materials as needed for tabletop use.

Usage recommendations

Choose weapon options based on your intended role on the tabletop: lascannons or autocannons for anti-vehicle firepower, heavy bolters for high-volume anti-infantry fire, missile launchers for versatile indirect or anti-armour shots, and mortars for indirect bombardment. Assemble teams with consistent weapons if you intend to field dedicated support squads, and use hobby tools and safety precautions when cutting and gluing small plastic parts.
