Read this story →Blood Angels' Angelic Inheritors detachment now starts with two Doctrine Points, rerolls hit and wound rolls of 1, and receives four enhancements and six stratagems. Chief Librarian Mephiston moves to Movement 8, Toughness 6, a 2+ save, six wounds and a 4+ invulnerable save, while the Dark Angels' Wrath of the Rock also starts with two Doctrine Points. Lion El'Jonson moves to Toughness 10 and 16 wounds, keeps a 4+ invulnerable save, gains a 4+ Feel No Pain against psychic attacks and mortal wounds, and can activate an additional doctrine each turn. The preview does not expose the complete Codex, points costs or final app state. The announced app update arrives with the Codex release, and specialist debate about missing chapter-specific detachments is interpretation rather than a confirmed product omission.
