Astra Militarum Orks
Combo Experimental
Most IG decks I have been seeing tend to be Aggro/swarm decks. I wanted to experiment a bit with building a deck that focused on support as opposed to swarming.
Warlord
Order by: NameTypeCost
Total Cards: 0
The idea of this deck is to build up as many support cards as possible. These support cards will help make the fewer troops you have stronger as opposed to swarming the enemy with a lot of weak units. Straken's main passive ability does not directly support this strategy, but I feel that some of is signature cards do. Omega Zero Command is a support card, which directly supports Infantry Conscripts. It also allows me a bit more freedom to include fewer army cards in the deck since I can get tokens into play easier. It also supports Glorious Intervention, so I can sacrifice those Guardsmen tokens to keep the important units alive. Straken's cunning helps with the idea of fewer, but more powerful units by giving +1 ATK, or I can put it on an Enginseer Augur to draw an extra 3 cards.
Why Promethium Mine?
I have included this card for several reasons. It gives me free resources without worrying about command struggles. Since I'm running a bit light on units this becomes more important. It is also a cheap support card that still benefits me late game due to infantry conscripts. 1 resource for +2 attack on (up to) 3 units isn't that bad of a deal. That being said, I do understand that at times this will be a dead card in hand.
This deck is still highly experimental, I plan on refining it over the coming weeks.
Sample Hand:
Total Shields: 0
Average Shields Per Event/Attachment: 0
Total Command: 0
Average Command Per Unit: 0
I like the idea of abusing the Conscripts. I played my first game with AM with a friend (core demo decks) and at the final battle I had two of them with 10 ATK (possible 12 for one with location). I played Preemptive Barrage to give them and Straken ranged so I popped off big targets before attacking normally and had initiative.

Game over.
This deck has been working well for me so far. It does need a bit of something though, I'm not 100% sure what yet.
