Games Workshop Warhammer 40,000 40K Astra Militarum Auxilla Bullgryns

Product Information

We are a small team of Warhammer Enthusiasts and miniature collectors, hoping to support and further promote the hobby. Use a wash, such as Nuln Oil or Drakenhof Nightshade, to add depth and shading to the recesses and crevices of the miniatures. Apply the wash selectively to areas such as the armor joints, shield details, and other textured surfaces. Under the new Morale Phase if you lose one Bullgryn (and it will not be the Bone ‘ead because you decide which one dies) then your remaining Bullgryns will still be Leadership 8. If you roll a 6 then you cannot lose another one as the maximum you can roll is 7. Even if you lose two Bullgryns and the Bone ‘ead remains and you roll a 6 this adds up to 8 under the new rules. This 8 equals your Leadership so you’re safe again from taking additional casualties from failing a morale test. Given the number of wounds, light vehicles can have you may not pop it with one round of fighting. But you sure can put 6 or so Wounds on it.

You can also read about more Bullgryn Tactics and also about magnetising your Bullgryns and Ogryns. And thanks for reading this Bullgryns vs Ogryns article. Playing with masses of infantry is appealing in both aesthetics and gameplay. Aesthetics for obvious reasons, having 100 plus Guardsmen on the battlefield will always look impressive.Addition of food items, water cans, extra grenade shells and assorted items helps give the models the "Ogreishness" that is needed to help each member look slightly individual. Secondly, the Valkyrie and Vendetta can now move 20″ when using the Hover Jet ability. When using this feature the movement characteristic becomes 20″– therefore it cannot move over 20″. Thus eliminating the badness roll for Grav-chute Insertion. You do lose Airborne, Supersonic and Hard to Hit though. The worst thing about this is that the Flyer will now be hit using the enemy’s unmodified BS. But now you can use Grav-chute Insertion safely with no risk to the deploying Bullgryns being slain and this saves you a Command re-roll – maybe. Apply a basecoat to the armor and shields using a suitable color. For the armored areas, consider Leadbelcher or Iron Warriors as a base. For the shields, Macragge Blue or Kantor Blue can provide a solid foundation. Those of us who have been with the Guard for a while are probably going to feel right at home again with the Demolisher being the good one and the Vanquisher being the hilariously bad one . Don’t worry though, the Vanquisher will reclaim its rightful place in the most important format: https://www.goonhammer.com/welcome-to-blunderdome/ .

Focus on painting the smaller details of the Bullgryns, such as the faces, weapons, and accessories. Use paints like Mephiston Red for the eyes, Retributor Armour for the metallic accents, and Agrax Earthshade to shade the skin tones. The icon of the Militarum Auxilla, the specialist division of the Astra Militarum where Abhumans like Ogryns and Ratlings serve the Imperium. The Astropath’s melee is less impressive but worth using if you’ve already mitigated Overwatch. Again they do D3 Damage – so if you can get a strike onto the target they could be finishing off a unit with ease. I was asked in late 2021 to do an article on my top 5 Astra Militarum units to field. And so, here we are!

Bullgryn War Gear

In the same way that officers sometimes have advisors from other arms of an Imperial Crusade or other Imperial force, an Ogryn can end up shadowing a captain, colonel, or general as they take a journey to the front to inspect the war. The Ogryns have a 5+ save, the same as a Guardsmen, so Bolter or Heavy Bolter with any volume will cut them down easily. They have no shield to take either.
