The Arks of Omen narrative continues – and now the xenos are getting in on the action. While Vashtorr causes chaos at the Rock and Angron smashes Indomitus Fleet Quartus, the T’au renegade Commander Farsight fights his own personal war against Boss Nazdreg’s Bad Moons in Arks of Omen: Farsight.
And this time, O’Shovah has had an upgrade.
Puretide’s protege is now piloting a bleeding-edge XV-86 Supernova battlesuit, designed specifically to suit his needs by O’Vesa, the Earth Caste scientist who fights by his side as one of the Eight – Farsight’s hand-picked crew of companions. Though similar to the XV-8 Crisis suit, this hot rod sports greatly enhanced command and control suites, all guided by a fancy on-board AI – dubbed Supernova.
These upgrades come just in time for his greatest challenge yet in Arks of Omen: Farsight. The infamous Bad Moons warlord Nazdreg, master of tellyporta taktiks, has taken up the reins of the War of Dakka – a never-ending conflict fuelled by the Orks’ desire to beat the Farsight Enclaves at their own shooting game.
Strange visions draw O’Shovah back to the ominous world of Arthas Moloch, and just as he seems to be ready to vanquish the Orks once and for all, disaster strikes. It wouldn’t be an Arks of Omen book without an Ark or two showing up, after all…
As with all Arks of Omen books, Farsight contains additional rules for playing Boarding Actions, adding Enhancements and Stratagems for the T’au Empire, Asuryani and Ynnari, Drukhari, Harlequins, and Adepta Sororitas.
There’s also a new Boarding Patrol box for the T’au Empire, the first place that you can acquire Farsight himself.*
This is hard-hitting force includes three Crisis Battlesuits and a squad of 10 Fire Warriors, who are perfectly suited for close-quarters combat when assembled as a Breacher Team. The battlesuits have numerous short-ranged weapon options, which offer great utility against many different enemy types in tight spaces.
You’ll also find O’Shovah himself – arguably the T’au Commander best-suited to tangling with foes in claustrophobic corridors – as well as enough spare Tactical Drones to form a small shipside squadron.
Head back to the Warhammer World Open Day 2023 hub page to see what else has been revealed today, and keep an eye out for more from Arks of Omen: Farsight soon.
* You’ll need to download the updated Boarding Actions mustering rules to fully use this Boarding Patrol.
