Codex - Conservators

The Conservators are an unusual fife holding Astartes Chapter in the Asharn March. They are poor as hell, and have more psykers then is entierly reasonable.

Remember to bring your warhammer fantasy models.

This codex is under construction... so, you know, help construct.

Conservators Special Rules

The Conservators are an unorthodox but highly effective Chapter of the Adeptus Astartes. Many units in the conservators forces share similar strengths represented in the following rules:

• And They Shall Know No Fear
• Combat Fire-Teams
• Hearth and Home - Above all, the conservators are a defensive chapter. Units with at least one model with this special rule are stubborn in their own deployment zone.
• Focus Rod(name) - A special invention of Dakar university, these are in effect psykic blinkers. They allow psykers to use their powers fairly safely, at the expense of versatility. Models carrying weapons with this special rule are considered to be "attuned" to the type of focus rod named. During the psycic phase on your turn, they will always try to activate the named rod they are carrying. This is considered to be a warpcharge 1 power, with one automatic success. You may use additional dice to try to increase the number of successes to make denying the activation harder. Opponents may attempt to Deny this power as normal. Activated focus rods can be fired using the profile given in their description. Warp charges used to activate focus rods can't be used during other players psychic phase to attempt to deny powers.
