Culexus Assassin contains one multi-part plastic model, and is supplied with one Citadel 32mm Round base.

Vindicare Assassin are snipers whose abilities transcend mere marksmanship to become an art form. Able to instantly calculate the trajectory of their shot from seemingly impossible angles, a Vindicare Assassin can loose off a single round, powerful and precise enough to penetrate even powerful force fields, and move on to the next target even before their bullet has found its prey.

This pack contains one multi-part Vindicare Assassin, and is supplied with one Citadel 32mm Round base.

Designed to be compatible with the rest of the Wall of Martyrs scenery range, the most striking feature of the Firestorm Redoubt are the two Icarus pattern, quad-linked lascannons that sit atop it. That's right, this piece of terrain has eight lascannons! And if, for some reason, you grow tired of only having eight lascannons on your building you'll be pleased to know that the guns are completely interchangeable with those from the Vengeance Weapon Battery. Rules for using this scenery piece in games of Warhammer 40,000 are included in the box. If you wish to use this in games of Apocalypse you will find the rules in the Apocalypse rulebook. This plastic kit contains 34 components and comes supplied unpainted and requires assembly - we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Paints.

Three Ways to Play 

• Open Play – pick some models, put them on the table and begin a game. This is the most flexible approach, designed with near-limitless possibilities; all you need is some models, their datasheets and the core rules. Included are some themes and ideas you can use or build upon to add atmosphere to your games, and 3 example missions. 
• Narrative Play – Warhammer 40,000 has a vast, rich history with countless epic battles. Narrative Play is designed to let you and your friends re-enact those battles at your leisure. There are special rules to help you do this, such as Concealed Deployment and unpredictable, random battle lengths, and the book includes several missions - 6 Crucible of War missions and 1 Echoes of War mission, each showing you how to play in this style. 
• Matched Play – for many players, Warhammer 40,00 is an opportunity to prove their mettle with tactics and strategy, an exercise in out-thinking and out-gunning their opponent with balanced, equal armies: Matched Play is for them. There are several ways to ensure that your forces are balanced against each other – a points limit is the typical way, but the system is flexible enough to allow armies based on unit numbers, Power Ratings, Wounds; as long as your limits are agreed, the possibilities are manifold. This book provides details on choosing your armies, and provides missions as examples of the tactical challenges available: 6 Eternal War and 6 Maelstrom of War missions, with explanations covering the use of Tactical Objectives.

Advanced Rules While the Core Rules provide with you with everything needed to play, the Advanced Rules are a selection of rules and expansions that can be used to play with your miniatures the way that you want to. With these rules, there are always new challenges to face, new battles to fight, and new ways to play: 

• Battle-Forged Armies: organise your models in a way that reflects the armies of Warhammer 40,000 – this places restrictions on your army, but makes up for it with powerful benefits, which use a system of Command Points
• Battlefield Terrain: rules for a variety of terrains (Woods, Ruins, Barricades, Obstacles, Imperial Statuary, Fuel Pipes, Battlescape and Hills), each of which introduce scenarios and opportunities that change the nature of battle
• Battlezones: rules for fighting amidst the effects of otherworldly environments, including low visibility, beneath an apocalyptic orbital battle and in the middle of a devastating psychic maelstrom
• Planetstrike: slam down from orbit in a terrifying planetary assault. Two players are separated into Attacker and Defender, with scenarios that play out a full incursion and a Planetfall mission
• Cities of Death: street fighting in the ruins of a shattered city, with buildings bitterly fought over.
• Stronghold Assault: dig in for a game of fortified siege warfare. One player seeks to overwhelm the prepared defences of another, with a Bunker Assault mission included
• Death From the Skies: dogfighting for your Flyer models, allowing the recreation of epic clashes above the battlefield. A Tactical Strike mission involves a defence against a bombing run
• Multiplayer Battles: rules accommodating three (or more!) players, with an example of a multiplayer battle to work from
• Campaigns: an overview of linking your games into Tree, Matrix and Map campaigns.

Dark Millennium the book contains a full detailing of the state of the galaxy after the events of the Gathering Storm – the major players, the struggles they face and the sheer grimness of eternal war, as Chaos threatens to engulf Humanity.
