Come see the truth behind what is and isn’t in the new Imperial Agents codex before your salt level rises to epic proportions.



It’s no surprise there has been a lot of confusion with what’s going on in the new Imperial Agents Codex. Some folks that had the codex in hand early made statements that caused a lot of readers to believe that because certain items were missing in this book, that they had just vanished from 7th Edition 40k entirely.

That seems to not be the case at all, in fact. If you read the header to the rules section it seems to to indicate this codex is just a big compilation of the digital rules with additional formation detachments to allow you to play them easier with your existing Armies of the Imperium.

These detachments also, in most cases, confer a new Command Benefit for said faction as well.

So for instance if you just wanted to still take an Inquisitor using the new Inquisitorial Representative Detachment to get servo skulls you would have go to the Codex Inquisition for said HQ choice as he is indeed Inquisitional Faction and complies with the single restriction to this Detachment!

However keep in mind that just like the Iron Priests in Curse of the Wolfen book, there are now several duplicate datasheets for the Inquisitional Faction, and Adeptus Sorritas as well. Does that mean one supersedes the other? Good question!

Next there is the issue of the “disappearance” of Saint Celestine, a staple in many Imperial Armies these days. While Games Workshop has been mum on their main medias, this was sent in to us by a concerned reader.

This seems to reiterate our analysts of the Codex based on the header pages above as well. You can take units that have the same faction as the detachments presented in the front of each unit section in Imperial Agents.

So in the long run, this codex may just be a good thing for the hobby as it allows you new exciting ways to slot in small groups of miniatures from your collection into existing armies, and get a sweet command benefit to boot!

Now that the picture is starting to become a little bit clearer, how do you feel about this book?
