Codex - Officio Assasinorum Angry Dom Edition
Introduction
This is an initiative to improve internal and external balancing of codices.
Every Angry Codex should be able to make the game more fun on its own. While ideally two angry codices will face each other, an angry codex should be able to play against both a normal codex and an angry codex.
The two most important rules are that angry codices should be fun to play with, which is obvious, but just as important, it must be fun to play against.
This dex is going to undergo heavy revisions over the next couple of weeks, please bear with me.
Disclaimer
Games Workshop in no way endorses any of the Angry Codices. No infringement is intended with this work, nor any other of the Angry Codices. The intent of the angry codices is NOT to make GW go out of business, but rather to improve the quality of the hobby, which leads to a happier and larger player base.
Editing
Feel free to edit wordings to improve readability. Add anything you like to any of the Angry Codices, except the Angry Necrons, Dark Eldar and Daemons, for these documents you should instead first argue in the discussion page before adding or changing anything. If someone objects to something you have written or changed, you should civilly discuss and prove why your idea is good and how it fits with fluff/is more balanced etc. etc. If no conclusion can be made then the Angry Pirate has the final say, if he does not say anything remove any changes from the official codex. If you don´t agree with an edit the Angry Pirate has made you can write in the talk page of the relevant talk page or in my page by clicking the first blue link. Angry Pirate (talk)

If a Callidus Assassin starts the game in Reserves, she can choose to move on from the enemy board edge when she arrives.

Wargear:
- Animus Speculum
An animus speculum is a ranged weapon that is fired in the Psychic phase instead of the Shooting phase. Firing the animus speculum does not prevent the Culexus Assassin from Running or shooting another weapon at the same or a different target in the Shooting phase. The Animus Speculum can fire Snap Shots but cannot be used to make Overwatch attacks.
Range S AP Type 18" 5 1 Assault X+Y, Absorbed Warp Charge
- Absorbed Warp Charge: X = the combined mastery levels of all Psyker units, friend or foe, within 12" of the Culexus Assassin. You may remove up to 3 dice from your own Warp Charge pool, the number you removed is equal to Y.
- Etherium
All ranged attacks directed against a model armed with Etherium are resolved at Ballistic Skill 1. All close combat attacks directed against a model armed with Etherium are resolved at Weapon Skill 1.
- Psyk-out grenades
Models that are Psykers do not gain bonus Attacks when charging a Culexus Assassin. However, if the Culexus Assassin is already locked in combat from a previous turn, or has gone to ground, its grenades have no effect and the attackers gain bonus Attacks as normal. In addition Psyk-out grenades can be thrown using the following ranged profile.
Range S AP Type 8" 2 - Assault 1, Blast, Psi-shock
- Psi-shock: If a unit containing at least one Psyker (i.e. a model with the Psyker, Brotherhood of Psykers/Sorcerers or Psychic Pilot special rule) is hit by a weapon with the Psi-shock special rule, one randomly determined Psyker model in that unit suffers Perils of the Warp in addition to any other damage.
Special Rules:
- Fear
- Preferred Enemy (Psykers)
- Life Drain: Armour saves cannot be taken against Wounds inflicted by a Culexus Assasin´s close combat attacks. Any close combat attack inflicted by a Culexus Assassin that rolls a 6 To Wound has the Instant Death special rule. Any close combat attack inflicted by a Culexus Assassin that is allocated to a Psyker has the Instant Death special rule.
- Psychic Abomination: Psykers, friend or foe, within 12" of a Culexus Assassin have -3 Leadership, do not generate any Warp Charge (i.e. they do not add dice to their owning player’s Warp Charge Pool in the Psychic phase) and only harness Warp Charge points on a 6. A Culexus Assassin can never be targeted or affected by psychic powers – other units in the Culexus Assassin’s vicinity that are hit by beam or nova powers, or by Witchfire powers that use templates, are hit/affected normally. Any blessing or malediction psychic powers affecting a unit immediately cease to be in effect if the unit moves within 12" of a Culexus Assassin or vice versa.
