Sword of Vengeance: The Sword of Vengeance is made from the same mysterious obsidian as the Sword of Secrets, being hand crafted, similarly, using a single block of obsidian. The metal is unique that it has retained it's razor sharp edges, despite millenia of use against the emperor's enemies. In game terms it is a master-crafted weapon which when used as a single handed weapon counts as a power weapon with a +1 increase in strength and when used as a double handed weapon counts as a powerfist. Shield of Faith: This weapon is a large shield which was crafted many millenia ago. It contains within its core a large disruptor field which provides protection aginst ranged and CC attacks. The edges of the shield has been strengthened by shards of the obsidian taken while the Swords were being crafted. In game terms the Shield of Faith provides a 4+ Invulnerable save against shooting attacks and close combat attacks. In addition it can be used as a master-crafted power weapon in close combat. It cannot be used on the turn the Sword of vengeance is being used as a double handed weapon. If the shield is used in close combat then it cannot provide the 4+ Invulnerable save for one whole turn as the field regenerates. Enhanced Teleporters: Imperator Vindicta is an expert at teleportation assault. He may deep strike in any scenario. The enhanced technology allows pinpoint teleportation and minimal disorientation. In game terms when roling for scatter during deep strike, roll 2D6 and pick the lowest for the distance scattered. An accident occurs only on a double "1". Imperator Vindicta can make an assault move on the turn he deep strikes. (He cannot take his normal movement though) The assault must be within the constraints of his special rules. |

Additional Special Rules: Seek out the Heretic: Imperator Vindicta is forever striving to remove the emperor's enemies from thie battle field. To this end he will engage any enemy character who is within charging distance. Imperator Vindicta must always engage in close combat, the closest enemy unit to contain a character (independant ot non-independant) Challenge: In the tradition of the first emperor's champion, the Imperator Vindicta will always issue a challenge to an enemy character if he is in the squad that the Imperator Vindicta is assaulting. (This may be done in both player assault phases) The challenge cannot be refused. The models are moved in to base contact and close combat fought as normal. No other model may interfere in this close combat.The results between the Imperator Vindicta and the enemy character determines the outcome of the assault. Always an Independant Character: Imperator Vindicta always fights alone and therfore may not be accompanied by a command squad. He also may never join another squad and therefore be targetted independantly. |

RULES FOR NEW SUPER CHARACTERS This character is one of the few in this Codex that I have termed Super-Special characters. Commonly knonw in gaming parlance as "Ubber-Characters" they tend to shift play balance to some degree. Although the super-special charcetrs in the Book of the Unforgiven are nothing compared to some of the super-characters seen especially in Warhammer Fantasy Battles, they should nonetheless used in the spirit of the game. Obviously, permission from your opponent needs to be sought before utilizing such characters. |
Existing Special Rules: |
"Stubborn". "Deathwing Deep Strike". |
