Today’s double Detachment reveal is a festive gift straight from the Emperor Himself! The Adeptus Custodes and Officio Assassinorum are both stepping into the spotlight, and their new rules bring devastating power to the tabletop. Let’s dive into what makes these factions shine:
Solar Spearhead Detachment (Adeptus Custodes)
The golden warriors of the Emperor have rolled out their armoured battle engines, ready to crush any who defy the Imperium.
- Detachment Rule: Moritoi Ancients
- All Adeptus Custodes Walkers gain +2” Movement, and their Advance and Charge rolls are boosted by +1.
- Auric Armour Buffs
- As Custodes vehicles sustain damage, their machine spirits remain aggressive, retaining functionality longer than most.
- New Relic: Adamantine Talisman
- Boosts Strength, Attacks, and Damage of the bearer’s melee weapons by 1.
- Stratagem Highlight: Unstoppable
- Allows Custodes vehicles or mounted units to move through terrain and models like they aren’t even there. Nothing stops the Solar Spearhead from crashing through enemy lines.
From venerable Land Raiders to towering Contemptors, this Detachment focuses on unleashing the Custodes’ most ancient and powerful war machines.
Veiled Blade Elimination Force (Officio Assassinorum)
The Imperium’s shadowy executioners are joining the festivities with a Detachment that enhances their surgical precision.
- Detachment Rule: Extremis Sanction
- Each Assassin gets to use their once-per-battle ability twice.
- Also includes mandatory upgrades like the Callidus Assassin’s Decoy Targets, letting her swap places with an Infantry model in your Movement phase to infiltrate even the most secure positions.
- Stratagem Highlight: Orbital Oversight
- Assassins can only be targeted by enemies at very short range, keeping them safe as they close in for the kill.
With unmatched versatility and lethality, this Detachment enables Assassins to strike precisely and disappear before retaliation.
Tomorrow: Knights of the Imperium and Chaos
The Imperial and Chaos Knights are bringing their might and their friends! Expect Grotmas miracles as these titanic war machines unveil their new ways to wreak havoc on the battlefield.
Are you feeling the pull of the Custodes’ Auramite tanks, or are you tempted by the Assassins’ elegant lethality? Who would you trust to deliver the Emperor’s justice?
