However, it was during the battle on Chyron Tertius that Abaddon was informed by Vashtorr that Angron had been spotted on the world of Malakbael, a location of an important Key-Fragment. The Red Angel was battling Indomitus Crusade Fleet Quartus, and Vashtorr notified Abaddon that he wished to travel to Malakbael himself to deal with the situation. [1d] Part 2: Angron Porents and PreparationsBeing a daemon of calculated malice, his singular goal is to become a being of such power that he can rival that of the Dark Gods themselves. Vashtorr believes that the best way to achieve divinity is to fulfil the same prophecy that Abaddon pursued in the hopes of finding a weapon of incredible power. The pursuit of this prophecy would require the collection of multiple artefacts scattered across the galaxy which could be combined into something that Vashtorr called the Key. To find and return the Key-fragments would require vessels of immense power and capability, and Vashtorr had a plan for that as well: They would harness space hulks and form them into Arks of Omen that would lead Balefleets across the galaxy.

Key changes have also been made to the Boarding Actions Mustering Rules , as the Battlefield Roles that previously determined which units you could recruit no longer exist. Instead, each faction now has a simple list that details exactly which units they can select from their free Index, and how many, together with any rules adaptations that apply. No more than half the total number of units in a players army can be Strategic Reserve and/or Reinforcement units, and the combined points value of all Strategic Reserve and Reinforcement units (including those embarked within TRANSPORT models that are Strategic Reserve and/or Reinforcement units) must be less than half of the total points value of a players army, even if every unit in that army has an ability that would allow them to be set up elsewhere. The final action is Operate Hatchway , which unsurprisingly covers what happens when you open or close a hatchway. This one is performed at the end of the Move units step of your Movement phase and completes at the start of your Shooting phase, allowing you to walk forward, open a door, then shoot or charge through it in a subsequent phase.

The walls themselves can melt and disappear mid-game in Empyric Erosion as the warp shifts around you, while the cavernous corridors of Macro-Junction IV-B allow each player to take a hefty Critical Threat from a list of valid options like Broadside Battlesuits , Helbrutes , and Sentinels – the perfect mission for when you want cut loose and squeeze a hulk into your space hulk.* If your Arks of Omen Detachment is an ASTRA MILITARUM Detachment, you can include one ASTRA MILITARUM Patrol Detachment that only contains units with the MILITARUM TEMPESTUS keyword as an Allied Detachment. Months later, as Abaddon oversaw the continued repairs to his flagship the Vengeful Spirit, the data-tome proved to be a portal that allowed Vashtorr to manifest on the bridge directly in the presence of The Despoiler. Upon meeting, Vashtorr presented Abaddon with a prophecy of a burning sky and stars blazing bright enough to drown out the darkness. He was candid with The Despoiler, declaring that while the ruler of the Forge of Souls, he was unsatisfied with his status and wished to become a fifth Chaos God in his own right. Vashtorr believed this could be achieved if he could fulfill this prophecy, and offered an alliance with Abaddon. The Despoiler was unimpressed, and Vashtorr bid that they move together on the nearby world of Magdalor to demonstrate the value of an alliance where the next fragment of the mysterious “ Key” lay. [1a] Part 1: Abaddon Strikes Revelation on Magdalor In the process, reinforcements from the Blood Angels arrive, and with them – to the astonishment of every Dark Angel – comes the newly returned primarch Lion El’Jonson, in all his wrathful glory. The Lion joins the fight on Wyrmwood and leads the Imperials to victory, along the way having an epic duel with his daemonic brother Angron, primarch of the World Eaters. If a player’s army is painted to a Battle Ready standard, that player will score an additional 10 victory points. Make a note on the scoring sheet if a player’s army was Battle Ready or not.This article is about the Campaign event. For other uses of Arks of Omen, see Arks of Omen (disambiguation). The biggest changes centre around the new Arks of Omen Detachment . This massive combined-arms coalition gives you unprecedented flexibility when building your army – it has to be seen to be believed. At the end of your turn, score 2VP if you control two of your Take Your Places objective markers and one or more Harlequins units from your army are within range of each of those objective markers. The new Boarding Actions Core Rules replace the original ones found in Arks of Omen: Abaddon , adapting the new core rules of Warhammer 40,000 to frantic shipboard battles. However, they’re designed to work with the missions – and mission sequences – presented in all five Arks of Omen books,* giving you dozens of missions and a variety of game modes to play through right from the start.
