Games Workshop Warhammer 40,000 Codex: Adeptus Custodes

Product Information

Select one trait of a shield host fighting style that unit does not have. Until the end of the battle, that unit gains that trait (in addition to any other fighting styles it has gained). Anathema PsykanaAn ANATHEMA PSYKANA Detachment is one that only includes models with the ANATHEMA PSYKANA keyword (excluding models with the VALERIAN, AGENT OF THE IMPERIUM or UNALIGNED keywords). Select one stance of one martial ka’tah. That unit always benefits from that stance (even if a ka’tah is not active for your army). 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. If any of that appeals to you then good news – the Adeptus Custodes 9th Edition Codex has arrived, ready to elevate these demigods of war to new heights of military might with a fully updated ruleset. Not only that, the forces of the Sisters of Silence are now fully integrated into this tome, allowing them to fight alongside the Custodes (or even form armies of their own) – perfect for if you like gold, but also like to have more than a dozen models in play.

9th Edition Faction Focus: Adeptus Custodes | Goonhammer 9th Edition Faction Focus: Adeptus Custodes | Goonhammer

All the Stratagems, Relics and Chapter Approved rules you’d expect from a 9th Edition book, including warlord traits and relics for the Knights Centura of the Sisters of Silence. Each shield host has an associated Shield Host Warlord Trait. If an ADEPTUS CUSTODES < SHIELD HOST> CHARACTER models gains a Warlord Trait, they can have the relevant Shield Host Warlord Trait instead of an Adeptus Custodes Warlord Trait. Keep a Great Tithe tally for each ANATHEMA PSYKANA INFANTRY unit from your army. Each time an enemy PSYKER unit is destroyed, place a Great Tithe marker as close as possible to where the last model in that enemy unit was removed from the battlefield. Add 1 to a unit’s Great Tithe tally each time it successfully completes the following action:Their Swiftsilver Talon relic exemplifies their rapid fighting style, a lightweight weapon that compels its bearer to acts of expeditious violence and makes them more mobile. With every strike, this warlord proves himself the master of one-to-one combat against even the most terrifying foes. The fabled guardians of the Emperor wield masterpieces of weaponcraft artifice, each designed specifically for its bearer to ensure that their combat potential is without limit. To maximise the consistency of the Custodian Guard, the melee profiles of their guardian spears and sentinel blades have been adjusted, with both weapons swapping D3 Damage for a flat Damage of 2.

Codex: Adeptus Custodes (9th Edition) - Lexicanum Codex: Adeptus Custodes (9th Edition) - Lexicanum

What appears to be a cloak of office can be activated to envelop the bearer in the very fabric of its surrounding reality, allowing them to traverse atomically with a thought and re-emerge with a blink.No blandishment or invasion by the enemy can overcome the fortress of this warlord's mind, and his strength of will can crush that of lesser beings. To face such powerful warriors is to court death, and the Cult of the Pauper Prince knows that well. They turn to a hero of the Star Children’s revolution, Mersea Thrayk, a Reductus Saboteur who seeds the battlefield with explosives before battle is joined. Even the mighty Adeptus Custodes are hard-pressed to survive a mining charge detonating under their feet. 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.
