And in a thrilling new adventure, your team will journey to a lost comet-station, where they’ll stop renegade tech-priests from heretical experiments into the Warp!</p> <p>As we prepare for its release, we’re pleased to present a word from contributing writer Matthew Eustace (H.B.M.C. on our forums):</p> <p><i>I’ve long been fascinated with the Adeptus Mechanicus, the Imperium’s own “empire within an empire.” They always seemed like an enormous organisation that constantly sat in your peripheral vision – never front and centre, yet you always knew they were there – and when the chance to expand upon the Mechanicum’ history within the Calixis Sector came up I jumped at the chance.</i></p> <p><b>Philosophical Differences<img align="right" vspace="10" src="/media/ffg_content/dark-heresy/news/the-lathe-worlds/lathe-worlds-2.png" hspace="10" alt=""></b></p> <p><i>One area of </i>The Lathes Worlds<i> that I enjoyed writing was any place where I could take parts of Calixian history, such as the Meritech Wars or the War of Brass, and inject that history into both the new alternate careers as well as various types of weapons and equipment. Two great examples of this are the Crimson Guard and Cult of the Pure Form. These two organisations rose from the ashes of terrible wars, yet exist as polar opposites to one another – one an army of enhanced soldiers loyal to the Mechanicum, the other a group that sees the Mechanicum as a dire threat to humanity!</i></p> <p><i>The Crimson Guard, also known as the Venatorii, are the elite forces of the Lathe Worlds. Unique to the Calixis Sector, their history stems from the decimation the War of Brass wrought upon the regular Skitarii forces of the Lathes. Built up whilst the regular Lathe armies recovered, the Crimson Guard have almost become a kind of Mechanicum special forces, and unlike most branches of the Adeptus Mechanicus are known to work with the Inquisition as advisors and bodyguards. The Cult of the Pure Form finds their origins in the aftermath of another horrific conflict, the Malygrisian Tech-Heresy. They view cybernetics as a blight upon humanity and something that sullies sacred flesh. Their whole existence focuses on undermining the Machine Cult and “liberating” poor souls who have found themselves “defiled” by cybernetics.</i></p> <p><i>Another Mechanicum trait I like is the way forge worlds manufacture equipment that is similar in function yet has its own local spin (a Mars-Pattern Lasgun versus an Accatran-Pattern Lasgun, for example). Using the history of the Calixian forge worlds I took this idea and ran with it for many of the weapons and equipment within the Armoury. The Perinetus-Pattern Servo Harness, the Midath-Pattern Power Glove and the Het-Pattern Rapier tap into the histories of these worlds to better bring them to life, making them more than simple tools or weapons, but things that have a logical place within the larger Calixis Sector.</i></p> <p><i>I’m sure </i>Dark Heresy<i> players will find a wealth of mechanical miracles within </i>The Lathe Worlds<i>’ pages. The Mechanicum has always played a large role in our campaigns, and once this book is out I’m certain that there will be Tech-Priests everywhere!</i></p> <p></p> <div class="blog-end"></div> <a href="/edge_foros_temas.asp?efid=61"> <div class="forum-btn"> <i class="fa fa-comments"></i> <div class="forum-btn-txt">Discuss this article <br class="hidden-tablet"/>in our forums!</div> </div> </a> <div class="legal-text"> <p><i>Dark Heresy</i> collection is © Games Workshop Limited 2008-2012.

To the outside observer, they seem to be a unified organization whose presence and influence is felt almost everywhere. Those privy to the secrets of the Mechanicus, however, know all too well of the overlapping layers of military might, of the conciliators who promise things beyond imagination, and of the factions that cast out any who fail to conform.</p> <p><a href="/media/ffg_content/dark-heresy/news/the-lathe-worlds/Pages%20from%20DH18%20Lathe%20Worlds%2002%20BOM.pdf"><img align="right" vspace="10" src="/media/ffg_content/dark-heresy/news/the-lathe-worlds/DH18-prev-01.png" hspace="10" alt=""></a>Some even know of the darker side of the Mechanicus—the watchers and assassins who bring swift and unyielding punishment to the enemies of the Mechanicus. Some choose to reject the institutions of the Machine Cult, forming rival cults to oppose them. Others are born directly into the system, their lives an endless torrent of work and toil from birth to death. It is a horrific system, one not understood by many, but one that is vital to all.</p> <p>Serving one such important function, the Mech-Assassins possess innumerable technological methods by which to dispose of their enemies. Hailing from secret fortresses scattered throughout the Calixis Sector, Mech-Assassins possess a unique outlook on the galaxy: nearly everything can be used as a deadly weapon. <a href="/media/ffg_content/dark-heresy/news/the-lathe-worlds/Pages%20from%20DH18%20Lathe%20Worlds%2002%20BOM.pdf">Download our preview</a> (pdf, 2.9 MB) to learn more about these heartless killers.</p> <p>Look for another preview of <i>The Lathe Worlds</i> next week, and get ready for your quest for knowledge in the name of the Omnissiah!</p> <p></p> <div class="blog-end"></div> <a href="/edge_foros_temas.asp?efid=61"> <div class="forum-btn"> <i class="fa fa-comments"></i> <div class="forum-btn-txt">Discuss this article <br class="hidden-tablet"/>in our forums!</div> </div> </a> <div class="legal-text"> <p><i>Dark Heresy</i> collection is © Games Workshop Limited 2008-2012.

He is the God in the Machine, the Source of All Knowledge."      –Magos-Lector Vad Kapellax, at the first Convocation of the Lathes</i></p> <p>For ten thousand years, the tech-priests of the Adeptus Mechanicus have led the Cult of the Omnissiah. From their bastion Forges on the Lathe Worlds, they control all Holy Technology in the Calixis Sector.</p> <p>Fantasy Flight Games is pleased to announce the upcoming release of <i>The Lathe Worlds</i>, a supplement for <a href="/edge_minisite.asp?eidm=50&amp;enmi=Dark%20Heresy"><i>Dark Heresy</i></a>! This invaluable tome reveals the secret history of the Lathe Worlds, from their mysterious founding to their current struggles against tech-heresy. What’s more, players will gain access to new Alternate Careers such as the Mech-Assassin and Agent of the Lords Dragon, and arm themselves with weapons and gifts of the Omnissiah. And in a thrilling new adventure, your team will journey to a lost comet-station, where they’ll stop renegade tech-priests from heretical experiments into the Warp!</p> <p><b>Carefully Guarded Secrets Revealed</b></p> <p>In the Imperium of Man, technology is commonplace...but it is also mysterious and unfathomable. Such knowledge is the carefully guarded domain of the Adeptus Mechanicus, and has been for thousands of years. They are the Cult of the Machine God, worshipping the Emperor as their Omnissiah, the Perfect Sum of All Knowledge. Their Explorator fleets search across the galaxy for lost knowledge from ages long past. Their mechanically augmented tech-priests on thousands of forge worlds strive to preserve what precious little data they retain. Both quests continue, though they are mere flickering candles against the oppressive darkness of stagnation and ignorance. With each century, actual understanding descends to dogma, rote instruction, and myth, as priceless knowledge is lost forever.</p> <p>Within the Calixis Sector, the Adeptus Mechanicus is centered on the Lathe Worlds, and from these three planets the Mechanicum oversees its domains of forge worlds, research stations, orbitals, and even entire systems. From these worlds, precious knowledge and holy technology flow throughout the Sector, while the Cult Mechanicus carefully hoards even greater secrets for its own, inscrutable purposes.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img align="middle" vspace="10" src="/media/ffg_content/dark-heresy/news/the-lathe-worlds/DH18_3190_CH3-Domions-of-the-Lathes_1142_MarkMolnar.png" hspace="10" alt=""></p> <p><i>The Lathe Worlds</i> allows <i>Dark Heresy</i> players to delve deeper into the mysteries of the Adeptus Mechanicus within the Calixis Sector. The Cult of the Machine God stretches across this region and beyond, ruling each of its worlds in the name of the Omnissiah, outside the purview of the Inquisition or other Imperial agencies. The Lathes struggle to control their domains, however, and dark areas of the Sector hide countless tech-heresies and dangerous researches.</p> <p><b>A Word from the Developer</b></p> <p>For more on <i>The Lathe Worlds</i>, here’s a word from its developer, Tim Huckelbery:</p> <p><i>The Adeptus Mechanicus has always been a big part of the </i>Warhammer 40,000<i> lore, and </i>The Lathe Worlds<i> gives us a great opportunity to explore this mysterious organization and how they operate in the Calixis Sector. I’ve always loved the insane science of the Mechanicum, and it was great to work with fellow fans to produce this book. Past </i>Dark Heresy<i> supplements had some fragments of their sects and forge worlds, but here we really reveal the scale and power of the Cult of the Machine God. </i></p> <p><i>Players will get a host of new Mechanicum careers and armory items inside, but we’ve also included the virulently anti-tech Cult of the Pure Form for those not who do not worship the Omnissiah. The actual Lathe Worlds themselves were also great fun to create. These forge worlds, research stations, orbitals, and other domains of the Adeptus Mechanicus make for a wonderful collection of places worthy of Inquisitorial attention, especially those isolated locations engaging in forbidden research and mad science. GMs will get a host of such settings in this book, complete with NPCs and adventure seeds for their Acolytes to explore, investigate, and (if they are lucky) not end up as Servitors! </i></p> <p>Look for more on <i>The Lathe Worlds</i> in the coming weeks, and in the third quarter of 2012, begin your quest for knowledge in the name of the Omnissiah.</p> <p></p> <div class="blog-end"></div> <a href="/edge_foros_temas.asp?efid=61"> <div class="forum-btn"> <i class="fa fa-comments"></i> <div class="forum-btn-txt">Discuss this article <br class="hidden-tablet"/>in our forums!</div> </div> </a> <div class="legal-text"> <p><i>Dark Heresy</i> collection is © Games Workshop Limited 2008-2012.

Whether it is a planetary noble skimming off the top, or a seditious terrorist planning the destruction of an entire Hab-block, it is the Adeptus Arbites who bring them to judgement.</p> <p>Fantasy Flight Games is pleased to announce the upcoming release of <i>Book of Judgement</i>, a supplement for <a href="/edge_minisite.asp?eidm=50"><i>Dark Heresy</i></a>!</p> <p><i>Book of Judgement</i> is a guide to crime and punishment in the Calixis Sector, and provides a powerful resource for <i>Dark Heresy</i> campaigns that feature Imperial Law as a story foundation. This detailed supplement contains new rules, backgrounds, alternate careers, and equipment for playing Acolytes with legal authority or a criminal past, and provides players with information about the Adeptus Arbites’ mission to bring order to the Calixis Sector. Game Masters of all experience levels will find expanded Investigation rules and a new adventure, Jurisdiction, that plunges the Acolytes into a conflict between three of the Imperium’s most powerful organisations.</p> <p><b>A Council of Judges</b></p> <p><i><img align="right" vspace="10" src="/media/ffg_content/dark-heresy/news/book-of-judgement/DH17_6_Chapter_6_Frontis_Frontis_MattBradbury_2_2.png" hspace="10" alt=""></i>For more on <i>Book of Judgement</i>, here’s a word from <i>Dark Heresy</i>’s lead developer:</p> <p>I count myself extremely lucky in having worked with the team responsible for <i>Book of Judgement</i>. In addition to such veteran talents as Graham Davey and Charles May, the group was joined by Matthew Farrer, author of the Shira Calpurnia novels from Black Library. It was a great pleasure to dive into the Adeptus Arbites of the Calixis Sector with the assembled team of writers and I can’t wait for this book to be in the hands of players.</p> <p>We worked tirelessly to stuff this book full of useful tools for GMs and Players alike. All the usual suspects are here: new Cell Directives, Alternate Career Ranks, Backgrounds, and, of course, tons of background information on the precincts of the Lex Calixis. A chapter focused purely on the creation of compelling mysteries distills over fifty years of combined GM experience, offering exciting ways to craft your own mystery and drive a game session forward through the players’ actions. We even included Jurisdiction, a full adventure focused on the overlapping interests of three Imperial factions.</p> <p>One of the pleasures of creating a book like this is getting to truly delve into the ancient histories of the <i>Warhammer 40,000</i> universe. Games Workshop has been crafting this game world for over two decades, which provides a wealth of information. Having an opportunity (or a responsibility) to read everything I could about crime and judgement was an quite an experience. The bleak, dare I say grim, nature of justice in the dark future is filled with twists, turns, interpretations, and executions. Bringing that feel to <i>Book of Judgement</i> was, frankly, a lot of fun!</p> <p>Keep checking back in the coming week as we offer previews, and look for <i>Book of Judgement</i> on store shelves in the fourth quarter of 2011!</p> <p></p> <div class="blog-end"></div> <a href="/edge_foros_temas.asp?efid=61"> <div class="forum-btn"> <i class="fa fa-comments"></i> <div class="forum-btn-txt">Discuss this article <br class="hidden-tablet"/>in our forums!</div> </div> </a> <div class="legal-text"> <p><i>Dark Heresy</i> collection is © Games Workshop Limited 2008-2012.

New Acolyte alternate career ranks, cell directives, and equipment fill this hefty tome.</i></p> <p><i>Of course you can’t have Daemon Hunters without daemons! The Daemonic Incursion chapter (written by Charles May and Ross Watson) gives GMs the tools to generate daemons with a variety of power levels and horrible tricks. Lesser Daemons, Heralds, and Greater Daemons are all as easy to create as an Acolyte, with a wide range of theme and combat strategy. Whether the GM needs a Bloodletter forged from blood and brass to challenge a group of Acolytes or a Keeper of Secrets to fight a squad of Grey Knights, the GM will never run out of daemons.</i></p> <p><i>Oh... did we mention Grey Knights? The Warhammer 40,000 Roleplay community has had a lot of fun taking up the mantle of a Deathwatch Space Marine, and now they get the chance to take on the role of a Grey Knight. Daemon Hunter presents rules compatible with Dark Heresy for both PC and NPC Grey Knights.

With the three largest Ordos well established, it is high time to slip some of the smaller groups into <i>Dark Heresy</i>. Enter the Ordo Sicarius Initiate. Far from the training grounds of Imperial Assassins, the Ordo Sicarius has little presence in the Calixis sector, but that doesn’t mean their influence is unfelt. The Ordo Malleus certainly knows the usefulness of Acolytes trained by the specialists within their fellow Ordo. Check out this week's preview of the Ordo Sicarius Initiate!</p> <p><a href="/media/ffg_content/dark-heresy/news/daemon-hunter/ordo-sicarius/OrdoSicariusInitiate.pdf">Ordo Sicarius Initiate preview</a> (pdf, 1.8 MB)</p> <p><b>New Backgrounds and Cell Directives</b></p> <p>Of course, new Alternate Career Ranks aren’t all that <i>Daemon Hunter</i> has to offer. Several new backgrounds can also be found in this tome of Daemon killing. These backgrounds serve as reasons for conscription into the Ordo Malleus. Be it Corporeal Sanctification, a horrific process by which a servant is prepared for battle against the Daemonic, or the dark souled Fate-Eaters, the new backgrounds in <i>Daemon Hunter</i> make creating a new Acolyte for a campaign a unique experience.</p> <p>Lastly, of course, are the Cell Directives. One of the dark secrets of the Holy Ordos is that sometimes one of their own must be hunted down. The Ordo Sicarius Initiate, other Assassins, or skill Acolytes may form a cell of Carta Extremis Hunters. Tasked with bringing a fellow Inquisitor to justice, this dangerous task requires dangerous training.

A powerful resource for campaigns featuring the servants of the holy Ordo Malleus of the Inquisition, Daemon Hunter features information and background on the Ordo Malleus in the Calixis Sector, the Daemon hunter’s trade, and the Malleus armoury. Dark Heresy’s developer took the time to share some additional details on this exciting upcoming title.</i></p> <p><a href="/edge_news.asp?eidn=2210">Last time</a>, we discussed the might of the Grey Knights and how they can be used with <i>Deathwatch</i> as well as <i>Dark Heresy</i>. Today I’m pleased to show off an important new tool in the GM’s repertoire: random Daemon creation. Well, as random as the GM wants them to be, anyway!</p> <p>The Daemonic Incursions chapter of <i>Daemon Hunter</i> dives into the dark recesses of the warp to uncover a variety of new ways to terrify and entertain the players. From a discussion on the nature of Daemons and the Themes inherent in a Daemon hunting campaign, to the weapons most often used by Daemons, this chapter is chock full of new ways to kill Acolytes and Throne Agents.</p> <p><a href="/media/ffg_content/dark-heresy/news/daemon-hunter/dd4/daemon-sheet.png"><img align="right" vspace="10" src="/media/ffg_content/dark-heresy/news/daemon-hunter/dd4/daemon-record-sheet.png" hspace="10" alt=""></a>Charles May combed nearly two decades worth of writing to build a comprehensive system for randomly building unique Daemons for any campaign. A Horror is a scary thing, but how are the Horrors summoned by “The False Whisper” different? What disease are the Plaguebearers on this long forgotten Space Hulk testing? Is it the marrow twisting Bone Ague or the mind rotting Grey Fever?</p> <p><b>No two Daemons alike</b></p> <p>I sat down this afternoon with a pair of my most trusted d10’s and created this potent Lesser Daemon, completely at random. Compare it to the one found in <i>Dark Heresy</i>, and I think you’ll see how different this Bloodletter is.</p> <p>The first few steps are pretty standard. I chose the Daemon’s power level (in this case “lesser”) and generated starting statistics (knowing they would change greatly through the process). With a nebulous set of stats floating in the warp, I randomly determined what Ruinous Power this ephemeral child would serve. Khorne, the Blood God, chose my little daemon, and I began the process of shaping him into a Bloodletter.</p> <p>All Daemons have certain Skills, Talents, and Traits, dependent on their power levels, so I added those to the Daemon Record Sheet. Next came the fun part. I randomly rolled on the Lesser Manifestations table and generated “Bizarre Visage” and “Horrific Horns”. Knowing that I was making a Daemon of Khorne, I chose to give the beast a canine head with twisting horns. Bizarre Visage will force any Acolytes to re-roll successful Fear tests, and the horns further increase the Daemon’s Weapon Skill and give him another natural weapon from which to choose.</p> <p>Once this was complete, I moved to the detailed section on Khorne, and randomly determined the beast’s lesser gift of Khorne, in this case Daemonic Armour. I selected an Axe (to complement the monster’s Frenzies) and added the Khorne specific skills, talents, and traits.</p> <p><b>A Bit of Balance</b></p> <p><img align="right" vspace="10" src="/media/ffg_content/dark-heresy/news/daemon-hunter/dd4/32_Daemonhost-AnnaChristenson.png" hspace="10" alt="">I could have been done at this point, but I felt like the monster needed a weakness. I am planning to throw this creature at some rank 3 Acolytes (shhh. don’t tell them!) and it’s going to need a good hook. The Acolytes have been tracking a murderer responsible for killing clergy. He does so by summoning Daemons (Bloodletters to be exact) and unleashing them on the unsuspecting clerics. This is one such Daemon. I rolled on the weakness table and generated “Bane”. Earlier in the adventure, they received a cryptic description from a survivor who said “it carried my doom clasped in its hand, I held it high as if it should fear it too.” So the beast is now harmed by Brass weapons, treating them as Sanctified. This is pretty convenient, since the Acolytes can steal the beast’s own Axe!</p> <p>Well... assuming it doesn’t kill them all first. As cunning GMs can no doubt tell, this monster is a bit more powerful than the one presented in <i>Dark Heresy</i>. It has the Dodge Skill (to help avoiding gunfire) and its toughness is higher. There are a lot of options on the charts, and the Daemon could have ended up with a Hellblade, which adds his Strength Bonus of 6 to the AP of his Sword!</p> <p>As the final conflict of an adventure, this creature works well, but it could also serve in a variety of other roles. Perhaps several could accompany a Herald and challenge even a squad of Throne Agents. As a Horde (using the rules presented in Deathwatch), they could prove deadly to even Grey Knights!</p> <p>These rules present a near limitless supply of slightly different Daemon options so that an Ordo Malleus campaign never runs out of monsters to fight. Next time, I’ll talk a little bit about the new Careers and Cell Directives going into<i> Daemon Hunter</i>!</p> <p></p> <div class="blog-end"></div> <a href="/edge_foros_temas.asp?efid=61"> <div class="forum-btn"> <i class="fa fa-comments"></i> <div class="forum-btn-txt">Discuss this article <br class="hidden-tablet"/>in our forums!</div> </div> </a> <div class="legal-text"> <p><i>Dark Heresy</i> collection is © Games Workshop Limited 2008-2012.
