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

Product Information

The combination of additional damage and the ability to re-roll wounds makes Victus the superior choice against all CHARACTER targets regardless of Toughness. Contemptor Pattern Dreadnought • Contemptor-Galatus Dreadnought • Contemptor-Achillus Dreadnought • Telemon Heavy Dreadnought Aristothes Carvellan - Carvellan is a Blade Champion whose prodigious swordsmanship puts even his fellow Custodes to shame. He is currently leading a Custodes strike force against a vast Genestealer Cult that is active beneath the Imperial Palace, seeking to capture their Patriarch alive. To enhance the shading and add depth to your Blade Champion, apply washes to the appropriate areas. For example, use Nuln Oil for metallic parts, Agrax Earthshade for brown and leather areas, or Carroburg Crimson for red surfaces. Apply the wash selectively, ensuring it settles into recesses and crevices. x3 Head Options: Within the kit, you have the flexibility to choose from three different head options for your Blade Champion. Two of these heads are bare, each portraying a distinct expression—a stoic expression and a gritted teeth expression. The third head option features a plumed helmet, adding a touch of regal splendor to your model. This variety allows you to personalize your Blade Champion according to your aesthetic preferences or the narrative of your army.

And that’s not all. Each Shield Host has its own stratagem, such as the Aquilan Shield Host’s ability to close ranks around vulnerable characters – perfect for keeping those slightly squishier Sisters of Silence characters alive.Using a medium-sized brush, apply a basecoat of your chosen color to the armor and equipment of your Blade Champion. For instance, you could use a color like Mephiston Red for the clothing, Retributor Armor for the armor, and Leadbelcher for the weapon. Ensure full coverage, but don’t worry about being too neat at this stage. Conservi - Conservai emphasises seeing the bigger strategic picture over and above the slaughter of enemies. Hayani Rimush - Rimush is a famed Blade Champion who killed so many xenos Hrud during a single battle that he was left standing upon a mound of their corpses over a hundred metres tall. It is also said that no Blade Champion before or since has demonstrated such perfection in the Martial Ka'tah of Rendax. Class FeaturesYou gain these features as a Champion.

That’s quite a lot to take in, but such challenges are nothing to the Adeptus Custodes and their commanders.** They’ve been practising these combat forms for hundreds of years, if not thousands, and they’ve got rather good at them. Objective markers represent objects of tactical or strategic import that both sides are attempting to secure, such as valuable artefacts, vital supplies or communications nodes. If a mission uses objective markers, it will state where they are located on the battlefield. These can be represented using any suitable marker, but we recommend using round markers that are 40mm in diameter. Flourish: Flourishes are techniques that require too much exertion to perform a large number in a row. You can use only 1 action with the flourish trait per turn.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. Ability Boosts Level 5At 5th level and every 5 levels thereafter, boost four different ability scores. You can use these boosts to increase ability scores above 18. Boosting an ability score increases it by 1 if it’s already 18 or above, or by 2 if it starts out below 18. 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. Beware, however, as failure means suffering dishonour, which can call the command of your Shield-Captain into question.

Offer praise to the Many-armed Emperor, dear child, for he has delivered a tome full of new and updated rules for the Genestealer Cults. Infiltrate a planet’s key institutions and ready your cult for the Day of Ascension with thematic Crusade rules, and ambush your prey with updated units and new abilities. The Adeptus Custodes have developed many thousands of different martial ka'tahs unique fighting stances, martial arts and battlefield techniques. These they have evolved over millennia If every unit from your army has the ADEPTUS CUSTODES keyword (excluding ANATHEMA PSYKANA, AGENT OF THE IMPERIUM and UNALIGNED units), and every unit that is assigned to a shield host is assigned to the same shield host, this unit can use this ability and the following rules apply. Sign up for the Warhammer newsletter so you don’t miss the release announcement and upcoming articles about both forces in this box. This 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.Let us know in the comments of our Facebook Hobby Group, or our new Discord server, and make sure you enter the latest monthly giveaway for FREE today! The Shadow Throne box also contains Sisters of Silence. That’s because the new Codex: Adeptus Custodes combines the Talons of the Emperor into one book, adding the psyker-killing power of the Silent Sisters to your Shield Host. They’ve also included multiple head variants. Some of which bear a likeness to a certain celebrity as featured in a recent video game adaptation. I suspect this was GW’s intention if you look at the name they’ve used for the character in Shadow Throne, Aristothes Carvellan.

Paint the beard stubble by mixing Administratum Grey with Kislev Flesh and applying it as a thin glaze (watered down layer) to the bottom of the cheekbones and the chin. You may need to apply additional layers after the first layer has dried. Wait for each layer to dry before applying the next layer.
