Steeped in the Promethean Cult, this battle‑brother wields the flamer with unparalleled mastery, turning the battlefield into a burning pyre for the corpses of his foes.

War-tempered Artifice

25 pts

Having laboured long in the Chapter’s forges, this warrior smith has crafted his personal armaments. Each weapon is a masterwork tool of death‑dealing, wrought with care and strength, and embellished with the icons of their maker’s brotherhood.

Forged in Battle

15 pts

To this Angel of Death, war is the anvil upon which their strength is wrought. Every battle is seen as a test in which they and their battle‑brothers can prove themselves, and the superior craftsmanship of their weapons and armour.

ADEPTUS ASTARTES* model only. While the bearer is leading a unit, once per turn, after making a Hit roll or a saving throw for a model in that unit, you can change the result of that roll to an unmodified 6.

Adamantine Mantle

20 pts

This flowing cloak or finely wrought tabard is laced through with threads of braided adamantine. When combined with armour and energy fields, it has been shown time and again that these symbols of office are proof against even the very strongest attacks.

ADEPTUS ASTARTES* model only. Each time an attack is allocated to the bearer, subtract 1 from the Damage characteristic of that attack. If that attack was made with a Melta or Torrent weapon, change the Damage characteristic of that attack to 1 instead.
