Commanders are supported in the field not only by their trusted veteran Command Squads but also by specialized advisors from outside their regiment. These esteemed Regimental Attachés bring invaluable expertise, whether as naval experts capable of coordinating air support, artillery officers guiding the mightiest guns, or sanctioned psykers wielding their psychic powers.
Included in this kit are three meticulously crafted metal miniatures, each portraying a distinct Astra Militarum advisor for integration into your Command Squad. The Officer of the Fleet stands resplendent in a distinguished naval uniform, equipped with a holstered laspistol. The Master of Ordnance, utilizing a vox-system, expertly coordinates devastating strikes while carrying a holstered laspistol. Lastly, the Astropath exudes an air of mystery, draped in foreboding robes and wielding a force stave.
