Editing Valerian (section)

===On The Tabletop===

Valerian features the standard statline and abilities of a [[Shield-Captain]], but rather than the default Guardian Blade he carries instead his relic weapon '''Gnosis''' (which negates any ability that prevents the loss of Wounds). He is also equipped with '''Golden Laurels''', which were awarded to him by the Lord Regent [[Roboute Guilliman]] himself. The Laurel allows him once-per-battle ''round'' to re-roll to hit, wound, save, or charge. He can also never be wounded on a 1-3 roll, which gives him extra durability.

As he is not bound to any particular Shield Host, can be fielded in any Custodes sub-faction and benefits from all the Fighting Style bonuses for the army.

Prior to Psychic Awakening, Valerian and [[Tanau Aleya|Aleya]] were an odd duck points and rules-wise, but that had been since been fixed care of Psychic Awakening and the 9th Edition Talons of the Emperor codex.
