We also saw two of the Defence Cohort’s special stratagems: Pre-Calibrated Purge Solution (1CP) – giving one of those robotic units a +1 to hit when shooting from your deployment zone at a target in the enemy’s deployment zone – and Bolster Defences (2CP), which allows you to improve the defensive bonuses of a chosen piece of terrain before the battle even starts, digging in to make a more resilient firebase. The Mechanicus Defence Cohort, meanwhile, gets a strong defensive bonus for its Kataphron Breachers and Destroyers, Servitors and Kastelan Robots – reducing their incoming damage from ranged attacks by 1 (to a minimum of 1) while they stay in their deployment zone – at the cost of being unable to bring any Skitarii units (usually indispensable infantry for the AdMech). The Death Guard reveals also included the appropriately ruthless Callous Disregard stratagem, for two Command Points (CP), which lets your Bubonic Astartes shoot at an enemy unit, even if it’s in melee combat with your own Poxwalkers or Chaos Cultists, Lungrot (a psychic spell that slows an enemy, and all but prevents them from charging your lines) and Rotgrip (a Relic Power Fist with a ludicrous x3 Strength rating, presumably for punching through super-heavy tanks). On the downside, though, you’re barred from taking vehicles, and can’t choose any Plague Companies other than the Harbingers. The Terminus Est Assault Force gets a whole new psychic discipline called Fester, and the ability to bring your Plague Marines in from Strategic Reserves anywhere on the board more than 9” from enemy models, as if they were Terminators teleporting into battle. We also saw a smattering of the special rules you’ll unlock by using these custom army types in games.
The post showed off two of the new ‘Armies of Renown’ from War Zone Charadon Act I: The Book of Rust: the Death Guard’s Terminus Est Assault Force, and the AdMech Mechanicus Defence Cohort. The first book in Warhammer 40K’s new War Zone Charadon campaign series, going to pre-order this Saturday, reportedly contains a stack of new rules for the Death Guard, Drukhari, Imperial Knights and Adeptus Mechanicus – some of which were revealed in a Warhammer Community post today.
