Hi all,
We got a surprising release today with an expansive (41-page) set of free militia rules on the community site.
Now these aren’t your frontline troops, rather they represent the basic troops hurriedly mustered for campaign or defense. They aren’t very brave and their gear isn’t great but they can be quite fun.
The militia has rules for a number of squads with already released models like Ogryn, gun batteries etc. and some ones you will need to create yourself: Grenediers, beastmasters etc. there are also old favorites like the Thunderbolt, Gorgon transports and Malcadors available plus some newer stuff like the Cargo-8 haulers.
What I like most about these rules is that you can customize the background of your forces getting a series of bonuses or options. For a free ruleset there are a lot of choices and types of army you can make. You will need a lot of troops, likely guardsmen or cultist models but you can kitbash an insanely thematic army. Your commander also has a host of choices depending on his/her background.
These rules play perfectly into what makes 30k such an engaging game to play. There is so much customization and room for creativity. Two players can have wildly different armies using this set of rules and it’s just great. The narrative possibilities are endless.
