Unleash Relentless Siege Bombardments: Astra Militarum Krieg Artillery Team
One of the most frustrating obstacles in competitive Warhammer 40,000 is dealing with enemy units turtling behind obscuring ruins, holding primary objectives entirely out of your line of sight. Committing your fragile infantry or costly battle tanks to flush them out often walks your army directly into pre-aimed firing lanes and counter-charges. The Krieg Artillery Team completely solves this tactical dilemma by bringing devastating, high-caliber indirect bombardment straight to the backline of your Astra Militarum roster.
Manned by the grim, unyielding gunners of the Death Korps of Krieg, this heavy ordnance carriage delivers the relentless firepower required to shatter fortified positions, eliminate screening infantry swarms, and crack armored hull plates without ever needing direct sight of the enemy.
Strategic Advantages of the Krieg Artillery Team on the Tabletop
1. Total Anti-Cover Flexibility: 4 Weapons in 1 Box
Unlike fixed-role heavy weapon squads, the Krieg Artillery Team provides modular tactical flexibility right off the sprue. You can field your gun platform as:
- Heavy Mortar: Ideal for lobbing high-explosive ordnance over obstacles to wipe out light infantry squads.
- Siege Cannon: High-strength, high-damage munitions designed to pound elite infantry and bunker walls into rubble.
- Heavy Quad Launcher: Delivers high-volume saturation fire to suppress advancing infantry formations.
- Multiple Rocket Launcher: Unleashes devastating artillery salvos to control broad swathes of the board.
2. Screened Survivability and Backfield Control
Mounted on a substantial 130mm base, this artillery battery provides excellent footprint utility. It easily locks down your home-field objective while denying backfield deep-strike landing zones to opposing forces, ensuring your army’s rear remains completely secured while lobbing heavy munitions turn after turn.
3. Immersive Grimdark Hobby Appeal
Every sprue captures the unmistakable World War I-inspired trench warfare aesthetic of the Death Korps. With three distinctive crewmen wearing iconic greatcoats and gas masks—alongside shell-loading accessories, trench tools, and an enormous 803-decal transfer sheet—building and painting this kit adds a cinematic centerpiece feel to your imperial motor pool.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I swap weapon barrels between games if I don’t glue them?
Yes. The central gun carriage can easily be magnetized or dry-fitted with care, enabling hobbyists to switch between the heavy mortar, rocket launcher, quad launcher, and siege cannon depending on your target list.
Does the Krieg Artillery Team require direct line of sight to shoot?
No. Under standard Astra Militarum rules, artillery carriage weapons possess the Indirect Fire weapon ability, enabling you to target enemy squads hidden completely behind intervening terrain features and ruins.
Are the crew models permanently attached to the artillery base?
The three Death Korps gunners are designed to be placed directly on the 130mm base alongside the carriage, creating a complete trench battery diorama. However, you can paint them separately before mounting to reach every crease of their greatcoats easily.
