Shield of the Emperor: Unofficial Army Lists

October 2006·pp. 103–105

THE SHORT VERSION

The lists explain how the converted models actually function in contemporary Warhammer 40,000. Custodians use Grey Knight and Inquisitor entries from Codex: Daemonhunters, while the Sisters of Silence use Witch Hunters and a Callidus Assassin to represent their specialist roles. The smaller partnered forces rely on mutual support and favourable deployment, and the expanded Custodes force adds Terminators, further infantry and two Dreadnoughts while preserving the original theme.

News: Eldar Attack and Building-Tastic

The news page looks ahead to opportunities to inspect the revised Eldar range and rules before release, alongside a staff terrain project inspired by Cities of Death. The Direct team has turned its new modular buildings into the Celestine District, a personal part of the Sybilla Tertius campaign setting. Competition results and a reader’s irreverent Tyranid answer complete the page’s mixture of release news and hobby activity.

Waaagh! Da Orcs: Designer’s Notes

Mat Ward describes an army book designed to make ordinary Orcs attractive while retaining the variety and mischief of Goblins. More effective choppas, stronger leaders and a once-per-game Waaagh! reward large fighting units, while simplified animosity can propel them towards the enemy as well as interrupt their advance. Revised magic, nets, Squig units and Rare choices preserve the army’s unpredictability, and returning warlords connect those changes with a fuller account of greenskin history.

New Special Feature: Desecrated Totem

The battle introduces a custom terrain feature whose benefit depends on which army controls it. The greenskins draw an additional power and dispel die from the corrupted monument, whereas its possession drives the Lizardmen to Hatred. Placing it in the centre gives both forces a reason to contest a recognisable part of the story, demonstrating how a small asymmetric rule can make terrain strategically meaningful.
