BACKGROUND

The Legion of the Damned are one of the great mysteries of Warhammer 40,000: spectral figures who appear in times of dire need (and there are plenty of those!) to aid the warriors of the Emperor in battle. The origins of these mysterious warriors are explored in unprecedented detail in the new Codex.

Also in this section, you’ll find a timeline of their best known interventions throughout the 41st millennium. There are also first-hand accounts from those saved by the mysterious legionnaires, and from some that they have fought against, including this account from ill-fated Ork boss Redeye Rockjaw.

THE RULES

This Codex allows you to field large forces of Legion of the Damned, and even take them as a Primary Detachment. As well as giving more armies the option to include squads of Damned Legionnaires, these detachments gain other benefits, not the least of which is the ability to claim objectives (a useful trait in a Deep Striking squad of elite, and nigh-unkillable, undead Space Marines).

A primary detachment also allows you to nominate one of your Legion of the Damned Sergeants to be your Warlord, giving him access to a particularly brutal selection of Warlord traits, all of which affect the sergeant’s full squad.

The Legion of the Damned are a band of faceless and mysterious warriors, but even within their ranks there is one who has been sighted again and again by those who have witnessed them in battle. Attica Centurius is the bearer of the Animus Malorum, a relic of unknown origins and terrible power.

The Codex also has the rules to equip one of your Sergeants with this Relic of the Damned, if you want to represent this mysterious figure in your force.
