Grey Knights Relics and Warlord Traits: Difference between revisions

''This ancient device, thought to date from the Dark Age of Technology, allows the bearer to channel their psychic energies through its complex network of components to directly manipulate the most delicate of damaged vehicle systems.''

'''TECHMARINE''' model only. Each time the bearer repairs a model using its '''Blessing of the Omnissiah''' ability, that model regains up to D3 lost HP instead of 1.

''A remnant from the Grey Knights’ earliest days, this advanced psychic hood utilises powerful psy-tech long since lost to the adepts of the Chapter, offering its wearer even greater protection from the soul-hunting predators of the warp.''

'''LIBRARIAN''' model only. The bearer gains the following ability: ‘'''Artisan Nullifier Matrix (Aura):''' While a friendly '''GREY''' '''KNIGHTS''' '''PSYKER''' unit is within 9" of this model, each time a Psychic test is taken for that unit, it does not suffer Perils of the Warp.’

''A gift from the Prognosticars of the Augurium, these scrolls contain predictions of the future, divined through the tireless work of legions of rigorously monitored Chapter serfs. Memorised by the Grey Knight, the empyric visions recorded upon the scrolls feed into the psychic matrices within his Nemesis weapon, and enable their bearer to form a kind of psychic muscle memory that makes him even deadlier in battle.''

Model with a Nemesis weapon only. Each time the bearer is selected to fight, you can re-roll one hit roll and one wound roll when resolving the bearer’s attacks.

''This sacred banner records the most righteous purifications performed by strike forces and individual battle-brothers throughout the Grey Knights’ history. The bearer can channel the resonance of this glorious past into their psychic attacks, blasting his foes to ash in a radiant burst of searing soulfire.''

'''ANCIENT''' model only. The bearer can attempt to perform the following psychic power:

''Taken from the Chambers of Purity under only the direst of circumstances, the Blade of the Forsworn is a relic weapon whose origins are unknown to any outside the Purifier order.

''This inner surface of this suit of armour is etched with the names of the many allies that fought and died alongside the Grey Knights in the eternal war against the daemonic. The Cuirass is a reminder to Titan’s sons that such sacrifice must not be forgotten, and the wearer swears a solemn vow not to dishonour the names of those who have suffered such a fate whilst even an ounce of strength remains in his body.''

'''INFANTRY''' model only.

''This is the first Nemesis daemon hammer, upon which all others are based. It was forged by the legendary Reed Vanar, third Brother-Captain of the Exactors, and first used to shatter the Lord of Change known as Crys’yllix. Countless daemons have felt its wrath in the centuries since.''

''When the moon of Deimos was gifted to Titan by the Adeptus Mechanicus, it carried with it a ship loaded with some of the finest weapons the Imperium has ever created. Among them was the Fury of Deimos, a weapon crafted by the first Fabricator General of Mars in the aftermath of the Horus Heresy. Superior in accuracy, rate of fire and reliability to a lesser storm bolter, it is a relic whose secrets have long been forgotten.''

''Within this fist-sized artefact, a spindle of seemingly perpetual chrono-psychic energy is thought to spin like a miniature pulsar. What manner of ancient cabal or long-dead xenos tribe wrought it is unknown. Regardless, with the correctly applied incantations, temporal energy can be siphoned from its midnight black surface and projected to alter the flow of time and the fortunes of war by empowering the bearer’s allies with incredible speed.''

The bearer can attempt to perform the following psychic action:

''This curved layer of silvered ceramite was recovered from the pyrrhic victory upon the death world of Kantu. The selfless defence of Kantu by the Grey Knights has coalesced into this vambrace, instilling the bearer with a sense of immovable resolve. With the spirits of such lost brothers strengthening his will, he withstands the most terrible of mystical onslaughts and shrugs off esoteric attacks.''

'''INFANTRY''' model only.

''An artefact recovered from the daemon-infested world of Gharelghast, this gleaming gem has been reconsecrated by several of the most senior members of the Chapter’s Librarius. Binding the arcane object’s auras with all six hundred and sixty-six words of cleansing, the Grey Knights succeeded in ridding the relic of any residual taint of Chaos whilst retaining its mysterious power.''

The bearer receives the Adamantium Will special rule and is treated as always being a Mastery Level higher than the bearer, unless the bearer has a Mastery level of 4 or higher.

''Forged by the Techmarine Dorvel urThann, this small chor-bronze icon contains a powerful personal teleport matrix and a trio of vigilant machine spirits. Their pre-cogitative psyroutines guard against attacks from afar, spiriting their host away from danger in a blaze of light.''

Once per battle, in your opponent’s Shooting phase, when the bearer is selected as the target of a ranged attacks it can activate this Relic. If it does, remove the bearer from the battlefield and then set it back up on the battlefield, anywhere that is more than 9" away from any enemy models. If the bearer is no longer an eligible target, your opponent can then select new eligible targets for any attacks that had targeted the bearer.

''Over centuries of war, a fraction of a Grey Knight’s essence may imprint itself upon his weapon. In rare cases, this imprint is so strong that it persists after death, and another can wield the blade to combine their own psychic might with that of a fallen hero. The Soul Glaive is such a weapon, a halberd that was carried into battle by the 13th Supreme Grand Master of the Grey Knights, Lord Sylas Kalthorn, who defeated the Daemon Prince Ka laedzar in single combat.''

Model equipped with a Nemesis force halberd only. This Relic replaces a Nemesis force halberd and has the following profile:

Model equipped with a Nemesis warding stave only. The bearer has the following ability:  

‘'''Stave of Supremacy (Aura):''' While an enemy unit is within 18" of this model, each time a Psychic test is taken for that unit, it suffers Perils of the Warp on any roll of a double.’
