Product Information

The Epilgogue reveals that one high-ranking Imperial works for Abbadon, but we don't know which one Thaniel Ectros - Member of Deathwatch Kill Team Excis. Killed during the initial investigation of Ghosar Quintus. [11]

The Siege of Boros Gate: All ten companies were fielded to repel the Word Bearers, and later the Necrons. Almost five full companies were completely wiped out, one battle-barge was lost, and one of the two Chapter Masters was killed. [5d]One important subplot of the Book is a low-level scribe trying to get a important message to Imperial High Command, that message is the one ultimately alerting Guilliman to the Pariah-Nexus The special edition release is limited to 2,000 numbered copies, each signed by the author, and containing full-colour interior art, a map, the short story Kin , a leather effect cover, and a gold ribbon bookmark. Captain of the White Consuls Chapter, Vitrian Messinius is a veteran warrior and one of Guilliman’s most trusted advisors. His power fist is an ancient relic of masterful craft and rare potency, gifted to him by the Avenging Son himself for honourable service. Few are as loyal to the Imperial Regent’s vision as Messinius – as such, he is responsible for enacting the will of the primarch during the Indomitus Crusade, granted the rank of Lord Lieutenant within the Crusade Fleet and determined to see Guilliman’s ambitions through.

Among all of this darkness, Inquisitor Rostov discovers something even more worrying – a mysterious mortal chaos worshipper known as the “Hand of Abaddon”. This ne’er-do-well has a grand plot to end the Imperium once and for all unless Rostov can stop him.

I left Sabatine when my brothers took ship for Cadia,’ said Messinius, ‘and went to Ultramar to beg for reinforcement from the Ultramarines. I did not succeed in my mission, but was instead party to the rebirth of a legend. I arrived some weeks after the primarch had awoken. I shared in the jubilation of Ultramar, and took part in the war to save it. When Guilliman left, I accompanied him on his crusade to Terra. I was there when he went into the Throneroom. I stood vigil while he was within, and I was there when he emerged. I will never forget that day.’

Unusually the White Consuls have two Chapter Masters; one oversees the defences of the Chapter's home world of Sabatine and commands a standing force ready at a moment’s notice to respond to Chaos incursions through the Cadian Gate, and the other is responsible for the operations of the Chapter's forces in war zones further afield. It is doubtful that this is sanctioned by any entry in the Codex Astartes, and the reason it has never been challenged is the Chapter's homeworld's distance from Ultramar. [6] Also unusually the White Consuls seem to worship the Emperor as a god and seem to be part of the Imperial Cult, unlike most other Astartes Chapters. [5c]The Astra Militarum welcomes any warm body who can hold a gun, and the Cadian Upgrades sprue is the perfect way to add extra variety to your regiments. There are 87 components in all, including extra heads, arms, and accessories, poses to create medics, map readers, and others, and even a decorated officer for your Rogal Dorn. Aegis Defence Line When the Adeptus Astartes fight, they employ a set of combat doctrines to eliminate the enemy. After pounding the foe with heavy weapons, warriors advance to lay down a hail of bolter fire before charging forth with chainswords roaring to finish the foe.If every unit from your army has the ADEPTUS ASTARTES keyword (excluding AGENT OF THE IMPERIUM and UNALIGNED units), this unit gains a bonus (see below) depending on which Combat Doctrine is active for your army. During the first battle round, the Devastator Doctrine is active for your army. From the second battle round onwards, at the start of the battle round, you can change which Combat Doctrine is active for your army, as follows: its is mentioned several times that for the first few moments of true battle, the Primaris seem to react allmost robotically, on pure instinct. They aren't consciously making decisions, just following the training the Hypno-Indoctrination put into them. Only after the first engagement are they starting to actually be directly in control Lore fan or not, this Coffee Table book is great. Flip through every once in and while and remember why some of the Imperium is so cool. Gaunt’s Ghosts Print on Demand Alpha Primus warns one of the main characters of the Book, Messinius (10th Company Captain of the White Consuls, and head of Guillimans Bodyguard for a time) about not trusting Cawl. Not because he might betray them, but because Cawl thinks he always knows best, even if he doesn't, and that might lead to problems.
