Warhammer 40K Inquisitor Free Reign To
For a, for lack of a better word, chapter of this book we see the Deathwatch fighting alongside the Eldar on an Aeldari maiden world. LoreWhereas, for the most part (the recent Black Templars book as a bit of an exception) the new Codexes we’ve had so far in 9th Edition Warhammer 40k have retouched on old ground, these War Zone books have been given free reign to bring us up to speed on what is happening in the current timeline.Rising Tide is no different, and primarily focuses on the conflict between the Orks, Tyranids and the Imperium (more specifically the Astra Militarum and the Deathwatch), but I’ll say already at this point I must state primarily those three factions, as other factions are very much at play within this book.Whilst I’ll try not to include too many spoilers, I will at this point warn that spoilers are ahead, and for ease of reading/skipping I’ll change the font colour for those who don’t want anything spoilt.The first major race I wasn’t expecting to see in this book was the Aeldari. We also have two Appendixes in the shape of the Inquistion and the Tyranids, a new Campaign system, Army of Renown rules for the Deathwatch, Fortification datasheets and Crusade rules and finally new rules for the Tyranids in the form of Synaptic Links.I’ll be taking us through the book, for the most part, in the order of which it is laid out in the book. We then have two Codex Supplements, the Cadians for the Astra Militarum and Hive Fleet Leviathan for the Tyranids, complete with Crusade content for both of these subfactions. Be sure to preorder one or both books via one of our Element Games links to bag yourself some money off and help support what we do here at Sprues & Brews.Not a fan of reading? You can always check out the video below!Book 1, the Rising Tide, reintroduces us into the system in the opening pages of the books. This gives us lots of new Crusade missions and re-introduces Planetstrike, a series of rules focusing on attacking and defending scenarios, revitalized from previous editions for 9th edition.Both books are up for preorder right now.
Drawn to the bloodshed of the major conflict between the two warring Xenos races, they arrive seeking to claim skulls in the name of Khorne. Eldar Corsairs have had models via Forge World in the past, and we’ve had rumours in the past that they may return to the model range soon, perhaps alongside the dino-riding Exodites.Another army that gets a mention in here, almost seemingly out of nowhere, is the World Eaters. We have the Biel-Tan and Saim-Hann, two Craftworlds we know lots about, but then we also have a Corsair Prince.
These guys have been named dropped quite a lot recently. I do expect we’ll see a lot more of the uprising Cultists in book two.A little side note…the Hrud get a box out mention too. Again, rumours are abound that this currently overlooked force is one of the next to get the 9th edition Codex treatment are strengthed by the Cultists currently situation in the timeline. The World Eaters getting an, albeit slight, mention in here can only fan those rumour flames.The Genestealer Cults also play a sizeable part in the lore, appearing mid way through the lore section of this book.
The downside to that however is, unless you have an interest in quite a limited selection of forces, the value of the book may not be worth it. All of this text is surrounded by new and returning artwork, which are as stunning as always.The lore in this book really outlines how the biomorphs of the Tyranids operate, and in my opinion the book does a great job of showcasing them as the big baddies they should be seen as.I really enjoyed reading the lore in this book, and would recommend anyone wanting up to date new lore to pick up this book and give it a read. The book is setting up these two particular armies to take the fight out of the system, whilst the Imperium tries to keep them penned in to the sector at all costs.The writing is fantastic, as always, and really gets the mind racing.
The first of these is Strategic Value, which in short, is a way to review how your army has done in the campaign. It also introduces a number of new elements for your campaign. The example Campaign trees for both Matched Play and Crusade include missions from the main rule book or past mission packs.Instead of adding new battleplans this section concentrates on the layout of the campaign, from start through to finish.
You then start the battle as normal. Both the attacker and defender can do this.Once both armies are deployed, starting with the Attacker, you start to reveal and place down those units. Concealed DeploymentThis is very similar to the current concealed deployment that the Genestealer Cultists have.You pay a CP cost (of which is based on the combined power level of the unit you wish to conceal) and instead of putting the unit down, you place a numbered counter. The campaign rules state you can either roll for these randomely after a battle, or pick whichever feels right for the narrative. These tend to be a mix of one use abilities or buffs for the rest of your campaign.
Should you roll equal to or over the dice roll required then you have completed the mission and gain a bonus. You can roll for a random one, or pick which feels the most narrative.In battle round 2 you roll a D6 and consult the chart. By far my favourite addition to the campaign rules set.You can choose to send one of your Infantry units being held back in Strategic Reserve to go on a Shadow Mission.
What this in essence means is we could be using these rules for a little while, which is a good thing, and gives us a taste of whats to come (more so for the Tyranids, but more on that soon). No new Crusade or content for the likes of the Catachans etc in this book.Unlike the Charadon books which included armies that have or soon after had new Codexes, at the time of writing this review nether the Astra Militarum nor the Tyranids have 9th Edition books, and to our knowledge (again at the time of writing) they are not officially announced to be one of the next books on the horizon. Codex Supplement: CadiaCadia gets some well deserved love in this book, but it’s important to note Imperial Guard players that unless you specifically play Cadia their is nothing else new rules wise. You can easily adapt this to make it work if you had the time or multiple players. Imagine having a small game of Kill Team taking place next to the main battle to represent these Shadow Missions.
Also worth noting, this relic can be popped once per battle round. The unit must be within 6″ of the model with this relic. Tactica Pax Cadia: This allows you to reduce the cost of either a Battle Tactic or Strategic Ploy strat by 1 for the turn, so long as the unit obtaining the stratagem hasn’t used it before. Ouch! I like the flat 3 damage too, reliable damage gets the thumbs up from me. Still has the 72″ range and Heavy D6 number of shots, however if your target has the Chaos keyword you can add 1 to the attacks wound roll.
