Agents of the Imperium emerge from the shadows when heresy threatens to destabilise worlds, cultists seek to summon daemonic abominations, and xenos corruption endangers the Imperium of Mankind. Some are Inquisitors of the Holy Ordos and their motley retinues, but this catch-all term also encompasses fearsome assassins, vocal Rogue Traders, fanatical priests of the Imperial faith, and other more specialised individuals. Some join more conventional Imperial armies, either to pursue their own goals or to lend their resources in an important battle. Whatever their purpose or nature, Agents of the Imperium are among the most secretive and mysterious servants of the Golden Throne.
The Codex: Imperial Agents delves deep into the opaque origins of these secret organisations, offering a glimpse into their methods of warfare. This includes the mysterious Space Marine order of the Deathwatch, which is subordinate to the Ordo Xenos, and other important units affiliated with various authorities, including the Adepta Sororitas, Grey Knights, Imperial Navy, Adeptus Arbites, and more. Many grim and dark artworks will inspire you, along with beautiful galleries full of painted miniatures. This sacred tome gives you all the rules you need to fight in the shadow war for the heart of the Imperium, whether in Combat Patrol, narrative Crusade campaigns, or balanced play games of Warhammer 40,000.
In this 128-page hardback book, you will find the following:
– Background material and lore on the various types of Agents of the Imperium, from the Assassin Temples to the Ordos of the Inquisition and the forces that usually fight alongside them
– Atmospheric artwork and photos to inspire your own collection and unleash your creativity
– Full rules for deploying Agents of the Imperium in your games, with 26 datasheets for every available unit, including Deathwatch, Assassins, Grey Knights, Adepta Sororitas, Imperial Navy, Adeptus Arbites, and more, plus four detachments
– A complete set of rules to run your own narrative Shadow Operations Crusade campaign and play fast-paced skirmishes in Combat Patrol
This book also includes a one-time use code to unlock the content of the Codex: Imperial Agents for Warhammer 40,000: The App.
