An Astra Militarum Primer

The Imperial Guard are the core of the Imperium’s vast armies. They can be found at every engagement, on every battlefield, in every war zone, across the length and breadth of the galaxy. Along with their weaponry, armour, and sundry kit, each soldier in this vital army receives a copy of this book – the finest military wisdom the Imperium has to offer.

READ IT BECAUSE
If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to be inducted into one of the most brutal and callous military outfits in the long history of humanity, this will give you a taste. While the ironic humour is fun for us, the material inside is accurate in-universe.

THE STORY
The Imperial Infantryman's Handbook combines the Imperial Munitorum Manual and the Imperial Infantryman’s Uplifting Primer, produced by the Departmento Munitorum, to be distributed to every serving member of the Emperor's glorious Imperial Guard. It contains wide ranging and educational information, prayers, litanies, forms, equipment care instructions, tactics, diagrams and illustrations that every member of the Astra Militarum should know and be able to use to their fullest extent at all times, including the heat of battle.

This book is vital reading for any trooper of the Astra Militarum, as well as anyone else who wishes to understand how best to serve the Emperor on the field of battle – provided they have the appropriate clearance. Of course, to question the wisdom recorded within would be sedition of the highest order...
