Universal Anathema

10 pts

A fragment of STC technology, this device tastes the spoor of its owner’s foes, then fashions tailored toxins not even the most resilient victim can long endure.

AGENTS OF THE IMPERIUM* model only. Melee weapons equipped by the bearer have the [ANTI‐INFANTRY 2+] and [ANTI‐MONSTER 4+] abilities.

Blackweave Shroud

15 pts

This hypermorphic bodyglove of uncertain origin is worn beneath a warrior’s armour. It forms a fibrous medium that shields the warrior’s most vital systems.

AGENTS OF THE IMPERIUM* model only. The bearer has the Feel No Pain 4+ ability.

Beacon Angelis

30 pts

The Beacon Angelis was devised to guide the Deathwatch to the threshold of the alien adversary. Housed within a reliquary, it calls out to the warriors’ augur arrays with the voices of a hundred electric cherubim, its summons so strong that it draws the righteous unto its locale regardless of what darkness may surround it.

WATCH MASTER* model only. Models in the bearer’s unit have the Deep Strike ability. In addition, you can target the bearer’s unit with the Rapid Ingress Stratagem for 0CP.

Amulet of Auto-chastisement

25 pts

This talisman houses a hate‐filled machine spirit that despises alien artifice. Its influence can be focused against the war engines of aliens and traitors alike to disrupt or even paralyse them altogether.

WATCH MASTER* model only. At the start of your opponent’s Shooting phase, select one enemy VEHICLE unit (excluding TITANIC units) within 12" of and visible to the bearer. That unit must take a Leadership test. If that test is passed, until the end of the phase, each time a model in that unit makes an attack, subtract 1 from the Hit roll; if that test is failed, that unit is not eligible to shoot this phase.
