Games Workshop - Warhammer 40,000 - Adeptus Custodes: Blade Champion

Product Information

At the end of the battle, if you control the objective marker that you must secure for the Dark Cells, you can select one ADEPTUS CUSTODES unit from your army that can control objective markers and is in range of that objective marker to gain 2 experience points. The heavy armour of the Allarus Terminators requires a different fighting style, favouring powerful blows that take advantage of their enhanced strength, with the full confidence that their wargear will keep them safe no matter the odds. If your army is Battle-forged, < SHIELD HOST> units in ADEPTUS CUSTODES Detachments gain access to the following shield host rules, provided every model in that Detachment that is assigned to a shield host is assigned to the same shield host. Such a Detachment is referred to as a Shield Host Detachment. While this isn’t a rule for the Knight-Centura, it’s almost more important! Who wouldn’t want to see an entire army of them? Overall, Vigilators look to have only lost rules. However, like the Prosecutors, joining the Adeptus Custodes Codex might mean their extra rules in the new full book is enough to counteract the loss.

In battle, a Blade Champion is a living weapon in the Emperor's hand. His role is to identify the greatest battlefield threat -- be that a mighty leader, a host of killers or a deadly war engine -- then to employ his archeotech blades, known as Vaultswords, and specialised martial fighting styles to ensure their swift and absolute destruction. Even if your opponent attempts to hunt them down, they’ll find that these masters of concealment are all but impossible to pinpoint while in cover thanks to their combination of Cloaked and Clandestine abilities.

Also, they mention in the article that every Custodes will have a Leadership of 11. They are going full Spinal Tap on this one! Adeptus Custodes Martial Ka’tahs Rules Being able to use rules like this on both a character like a Shield-Captain, and Adeptus Custodes core unit make this possibly quite strong. We’ll have to see how the other characters can really benefit from this.This can really give your army a big swing turn where you combine the two stances. Then, you can still advance it next turn if you need.

Endeavour Rewards: Crusade bonuses you can earn by claiming Magisterium Lex Ultima and completing imperatives. But before we go into details, consider this – Aristothes Carvellan, the Blade Champion who leads the Talonhunt in the narrative of Shadow Throne, is expected to capture the Patriarch of the Genestealer Cult alive (yes, really), without getting torn to ribbons in the act. That’s quite the challenge, so you’d have to be as hard as auramite nails to stand a chance. Well, as you may have seen in our rules preview , he really is! If the Warlord of your army is either an Adeptus Custodes or Sisters of Silence character, then your Knight-Centura can take one of the new relics from the Adeptus Custodes codex. If you want to absolutely obliterate your enemies in combat, replace her executioner greatblade with a Raptor Blade. Leading the charge into the Cult’s lair is Aristothes Carvellan, a Blade Champion whose prodigious swordsmanship puts even his fellow Custodes to shame. Blade Champions are a new type of Character for Adeptus Custodes armies, who can switch between three different fighting styles to chop up any opponent, be they a colossal monster, a skilled leader, or a swarm of lesser creatures. These are army-wide rules to give your Custodes a little more punch. with a 4+ invuln and not losing Mortals on 6’s adds to their survivability. They also count as double the models for ObSec, which will really give you some extra power to score those points! Emperor’s Chosen Shield Host Rules

Magisterium Lex Ultima: Crusade rules available to Crusade forces that include TRAJANN VALORIS or any SHIELD-CAPTAIN units.

With the Shadow Throne box coming soon, the rules for the factions inside have been coming quite often.Vexilus Praetors saw quite a few changes. Their statline Leadership is now 11 (was 9) and Wounds is now 7 (was 5). Their wargear options were also changed as they are now equipped with Balistus Grenade Launcher by default and can no longer take the Castellan Axe or Guardian Spear. If your shield host is not listed in this section, it is treated as an EMPEROR’S CHOSEN shield host for the purposes of the following rules. Replace every instance of the < SHIELD HOST> keyword on that unit’s datasheet with the name of your chosen shield host. Sabium Karindas - Karindas was a true master of the Martial Ka'tah of Decapitus. He felled the Iron Warriors warlord Kraabas Puzar.

Allarus Custodians saw a few changes such as; Leadership is now 11 (was 9) and the same weapon changes as above where applicable. ADEPTUS CUSTODES models count as one additional model when determining control of an objective marker. In each of your Command phases, so long as one is available, you must select one ka’tah stance to become active for your army. Each time you do so, units from your army with this ability benefit from it until the start of your next Command phase. When selecting a ka’tah stance to become active, the following rules apply: The Warlord trait could really take your opponent by surprise because you can cover a ton of ground and still charge. Even though it’s one unit, it’s still pretty strong.Example: Every model in Emily’s army has the ADEPTUS CUSTODES keyword. She selects Rendax as her primary ka’tah, Dacatarai as her secondary ka’tah and Calistus as her tertiary ka’tah. In her first command phase, she selects Rendax stance 2 to be active. What’s more, the ranged profile of the sentinel blade has been improved to match the damage output of the guardian spears – after all, they fire the same masterwork ammunition.
