Another week, another reveal. For this week we finally get to see the man on the horse featured on the WH40K Astra Militarum (Imperial Guard) codex – Lord Solar Leontus. Get to know details about this guy, price, release date and more via this article.
Lord Solar Leontus is the new HQ for the Astra Militarum or the Imperial Guard. He was first “featured” on the codex displayed during the Cadia Stands Army Box Set reveal. With him is his loyal steed, Konstantin, and apparently this guy’s been marching the armies of the Imperium and getting a lot of victories. Hope this gets explained in a novel or two.
The model itself is incredibly detailed and as an HQ, is likely to be the centerpiece of a “modern” Astra Militarum army. Lord Solar Leontus is also one of the new HQs alongside Ursula Creed and the new Cadian Castellan. He is also part of the latest barrage of reveals that include the new Rogal Dorn Tank, Kasrkin Squad, and the Attilan Rough Riders.
Part of Lord Solar Leontus’ reveal is an ability of his to directly affect secondary objectives:
| The Collegiate Astrolex |
|
After your opponent has revealed their secondary objectives or Agendas for a battle, if your army contains this model, you can choose to change one of your secondary objectives or Agendas (following the normal rules for selecting secondary objectives or Agendas). If you do not choose to do so, or if your battle does not use selectable secondary objectives or Agendas, then at the start of the first Command phase of the battle, you gain 1 additional Command point. |
Given what we know so far, is this model something you’d include in your Astra Militarum army?
