The Armoured Sheild - Fromation
Hello all!
I was wondering if anyone has the rules for the new Armoured Sheild fromation from the new Start Collecting Astra Militarum box?
As I already own all the boxes contense I was wondering what the special rules are and how compeditive the new formation is. Thanks for your time.

I doubt it's the same Armoured Shield Infantry Company/ Platoon from the Mont'kka book. For staters the platoon (auxiliary choice) is 55 infantry and 1-3 sentinels.
The company is 165 infantry and 3-9 sentinels, just for 1 core choice, no auxiliary.
Rules leaks are up on Imgur, for the 2 campaign source books, feat. Tau, SM and guard rules.
Edit ; I suspect this box will have its own sheet. We'll see on Saturday..

There hasn't been a whole lot of info on the formations that are included with the "start collecting" box sets. The only rumors that exist came from a post on 4chan, and you can read up on them here: natfka.blogspot.nl/2016/01/40k-start-collecting-formations.html#more but it isn't much So I guess we'll have to wait and see, I've ordered one at my local indie store.. but I just found out it won't arrive untill later next week |

Hey so this isn't official or anything but I heard (from a couple of other posts on other forums) that the formation special rule is any unit within 6" of the Leman russ gets a 4+ cover save. Nothing official just rumours atm. Unfortunately not incredibly competitive but not bad either...

Belching Smog:
With a thunderous churn of cogs and gears a thick cloud of exhaust fumes, smoke and dust bellows out from the mighty leman russ as it trundles into battle. Although many conscripts and newbies may be put off by this choking hazard, the hardened veterans within vicinity of ths great machine are most appreciative for the concealment it provideslel |

Thanks to everyone. And thanks to nutty for going out of his way to do that.
I'm not really up to speed with formations but this one for example, I know you have to take the units listed to get the formation bennifits but can you kit the vets out anyway you want. Same with the leman russ, can it be any variant?

You can usually kit out the units in anyway you want. Unless the formation sheet states otherwise.
