Codex - Triumvirate of the Imperium Angry Initiative Edition

INTRODUCTION

Supplement your army of the Imperium with the legendary heroes of the Triumvirate of the Imperium. These are the pivotal characters that will turn the war against Chaos. Destroy the wretched traitors and hideous Daemons of Chaos Triumvirate of the Imperium Warlord!

DISCLAIMER

Games Workshop in no way endorses any of the Angry Codices. No infringement is intended with the Angry Codices. The intent of the Angry Initiative is NOT to make Games Workshop go out of business, but rather to bring the game part of the hobby up to speed with the most detailed setting of any game and arguably also the best miniatures of any miniature wargame.

THE ANGRY INITIATIVE

The Angry Initiative is about making more fair and fun codices. The core principle of the Angry Initiative is letting you play with the miniatures you own and love and punishing people as little as possible for making the "wrong" modelling and purchasing strategies. All fluff and pictures are left out, this makes room for all Forgeworld units and supplemental rules in the main codex, meaning you only need one book for each faction you play.

BALANCING

The balancing system is based on 10 Space Marines with a Sergeant, the Objective Secured, 6+ Feel No Pain special rules and a single Tactical Doctrines available, as being worth 130 pts, a plasma gun for said Squad being worth 15 pts, a lascannon for said squad being worth 20 pts and a Rhino for said Squad being worth an additional 35 pts. Worth meaning that the amount of situations in which one taking the option is better is not overwhelming compared to the amount of situations in which the options is worse. For example. 130 full Tactical Squads in Rhinos should be good in as many situations as 165 full Tactical Squads without Rhinos.

Units and options are put into a points range between a point value where they counter all the things they should counter (light armoured anti-armour units should counter heavy armoured anti-armour units and medium armoured anti-armour units) and get countered by all the things they should be countered by (light armoured anti-armour units should get countered by light armoured anti-light units). They are moved around within this range based on results from playtesting and debates on the discussion pages of codices. Note that while calculations have been made for the proper point range for many units and options, others have been placed based on the notions of what units are being played by competitive players in 40k at the moment.

The intent is not for the costs shown to be the final costs, but rather the start of a discussion which will eventually lead to the most balanced codices possible within the framework of a game where units are meant to counter and be countered by other units. The PDF codices are updated at most once each month to allow you to get a better feel for how good units are before they are changed. Clarification and errors in grammar and wording is changed as they are found on 1d4chan.

ABOUT

This codex was made by the 1d4chan community and managed by the Angry Pirate. This codex was published by adding ?action=render at the end of the name of the codex' web page on 1d4chan and copy pasting the whole thing into Microsoft Word. Margins are at 0,5", the Georgia font is used for everything, except the front page which is Stencil. The logo was made in paint by writing on a coloured background and then using the "fill with colour" tool on the background. After some final minor revisions, the Word document was saved as a PDF.

FEEDBACK

Battle reports can be posted and read here. General feedback of the Angry Codices can be made here. Feedback on this codex can be made here.

SPECIAL RULES:

Saint Celestine

• Eternal Warrior
• Fearless
• Hit & Run
• Independent Character
• Act of Faith: Some units are noted as having the Act of Faith special rule in their entry. Different units have different Acts of Faith, each of which is named in the unit’s entry along with the specific rules it bestows when used, but all Acts of Faith use the rules listed here.

A unit with the Act of Faith special rule can attempt to use its Act of Faith immediately before it acts during a phase; i.e. immediately before the unit moves in the Movement phase, shoots (or runs) in the Shooting phase, or before any blows are stuck (either by friend or foe) in the Assault phase. To do so the unit must take a Leadership test.

If the test is failed, nothing happens and that unit cannot attempt to use that Act of Faith again for the rest of the battle. If the test is passed, the Act of Faith is successful; unless stated otherwise, all models in the unit will immediately gain a special rule until the end of the current phase. The special rule gained will be listed in that unit’s Act of Faith entry, along with which phase(s) the Act of Faith can be attempted in.

Unless stated otherwise, a unit can only attempt to use an Act of Faith once per game and a unit cannot attempt to use more than one Act of Faith in the same phase.

• Martyrdom: If a model with the Martyrdom special rule is your Warlord, and that model is removed as a casualty during the battle, all friendly units wholly comprised of models with the Act of Faith special rule automatically pass all Leadership tests until the end of your next turn.
• Patron Saint of the Adepta Sororitas: You may not include both Saint Celestine from the Triumvirate of the Imperium faction and Saint Celestine from the Adepta Sororitas faction in the same army.

Geminae Superia

• Divine Guardians: The Geminae Superia both have a 4+ invulnerable save. In addition, whilst at least one Geminae Superia is still alive, resolve any wounds suffered by Saint Celestine against the Geminae Superia closest to her instead. Saint Celestine is permitted to join other units, in which case both Saint Celestine and her Geminae Superia join the unit. If Saint Celestine then leaves the unit, her Geminae Superia also leave the unit, forming a separate unit with her. At the start of each of your turns, set up a single slain Geminae Superia anywhere within 2" of Saint Celestine (or as close to her as possible), the model can act as normal this turn.

ACT OF FAITH:

Miraculous Intervention: (Saint Celestine only) Once per game before removing Saint Celestine from play, take a Leadership test. If succesful, place a marker where Saint Celestine was removed. At the start of your next turn, place Saint Celestine back on the battlefield, all her Wounds restored, within 1" of the counter. if Saint Celestine would be placed within 1"of another model, move her by the minimum possible distance so that she is no longer within 1”. Saint Celestine can act normally in a turn in which she ‘resurrects’. If the test is failed Saint Celestine is removed as normal. If Saint Celestine is your Warlord, her Martyrdom special rule will only take effect, and she will only award Victory Points for objectives such as ‘Slay the Warlord’, if she fails her Act of Faith test or if she has been removed as a casualty for the second time.
