Product Information

With Warhammer 40k 10th edition around the corner – on the heels of new character Vashtorr the Arkifane and the Arks of Omen narrative books – here’s a look back at all the Warhammer 40k 9th editioncodex releases. In your first Command Phase, you must then choose one stance from your Primary Ka’tah to activate, and this lasts till your next Command Phase. Shield-Captain Valerian comes from the Hykanatoi brotherhood, and has gained a reputation for being headstrong. The Emperor’s inviolable guardians clearly don’t concern themselves with such paltry things as battleshock tests!

Adeptus Custodes Crush Foes With Devastating Battle Stances

Make your collections complete with a pack of dice representing your favourite factions from this week’s codex releases, complete with their logo on the six face, and then make sure you always have the rules you need close at hand with datacard sets for the Genestealer Cults and Adeptus Custodes. As far removed from Astartes as Astartes are from regular humans, the Custodian Guard are probably the deadliest fighters in the galaxy, human or otherwise.In addition to revamped Stratagems, Relics, and Warlord Traits, the codex contains Crusade rules for exercising ultimate authority over the Imperium, choosing your own objectives and earning powerful bonuses upon victory. With a strong invulnerable save and five attacks in close combat, he’ll stand toe-to-toe with anyone in the game. This contained two new models for the Chaos Knights faction, the Knight Abominant and savage War Dog miniaturesrounding out a previously limited roster.

Codex Adeptus Custodes: The Crusade Rules Review

Combined with the Six Martial Ka’tahs, and the addition of Sisters of Silence, this new Codex gives the Adeptus Custodes the flexibility and hardiness you’d expect from the big dogs. Besides that, the Custodes got extensively updated subfaction rules for the different Shieldhosts, and new,switchable ‘martial ka’tah’ buffs – as well as theusual bundle of new Stratagems, Relics, and Warlord Traits.The new Adeptus Custodes was generally well received, adding more customisable combat rules – in the form of Martial Ka’tah battle stances– togive players of thelow-model count, ultra-elite Custodes army more gameplay choices and make their handful of warriors operate in a more distinctive and deadly fashion. Here you can find Custodian Venerati descending on angel’s wings; Grav-tanks with strong, bold lines reminiscent of Ancient Rome at its peak; and gunships that look like they’ve fallen from the pages of Dune.

Codex: Adeptus Custodes (8th Edition) - Lexicanum

So many were slain by his blade that day it’s said he eventually stood triumphant atop a mountain of corpses a hundred metres high.They also both provide their wielder with an additional point of Strength – that’s a whopping Strength 7 with a guardian spear – so they can easily fell anything they face on the battlefield.

Lead a Full Sisters of Silence Army With the Powerful Knight

The 120-page codex includes all the usual good stuff: full rules for the new AdMech units, updated datasheets for the army’s existing range of models, expanded lore, and bestiaries. The Adeptus Custodes are an unusually versatile army, and a standard Shield-Captain is an exemplar of that ideal, demonstrating flawless technique to inspire their troops. The auto-wounds is the big prize here, as it effectively doubles the chip damage capabilities of the army at range if it finds itself up against T8 targets, and still provides a considerable boost against medium weight targets (though if they have Damage Reduction, Dacatarai can be better). GIven that this is probably as close to a “default” setup, the two Shield Hosts that specialise in Dacatarai and Rendax get some extra value from this ability, as it means those crucial mid-game turns will be extra potent. Its dark and brooding cover was shown off on May 4, and a plethora of Chaos announcements came hot on its heels.

During Warhammer Fest 2022 (May 4 – May 7), we saw a whole new range of horrible (lovely) Chaos Space Marine models. With new models, new characters, and new rules, they became far more than a diversion from Space Marines; they became something that stands alone, with a unique golden flavour.
