When you need a world purified, and you need it yesterday, look no further than today’s Grotmas Calendar Detachment: the Warpbane Task Force for the Grey Knights.
The Grey Knights strike to cleanse unhallowed ground and restore the sanctity of the Emperor’s domain. The Warpbane Taskforce is raised when only the most obscure and esoteric rituals of purgation will drive the taint of Chaos back into the depths of the Warp. Striding fearlessly into malignant hellscapes, the warriors of the Order of Purifiers lead the assault.
The combined psychic might of these anointed champions manifests in an azure fire that ignites the bodies and souls of unclean foes and scours away the taint of witchcraft and infernal corruption. In place of this excised perversion, an ensorceled zone of consecration is created, within which the Grey Knights are emboldened and empowered.
With the Warpbane Task Force, Grey Knights players will be able to field Purifier Squads at the height of their power, dispatched en masse to counter a specific threat. Where they tread is Hallowed Ground, within which Grey Knights’ attacks – and particularly those of the Purifiers themselves – are more accurate.
As this zone expands across the battlefield, your Enhancements and Stratagems become more potent: a Radiant Champion will find their melee attacks inflicting additional mortal wounds while they are wholly within Hallowed Ground, and in a Sanctified Kill Zone, the Purifiers surpass themselves, re-rolling their Wound rolls as they scour their foes from existence.
And if you think that’s clean, you should see their kitchens… As the Grey Knights teleport away in a crackle of blue lightning, it’s time for the regular Astartes to shine tomorrow – and they’ve been hitting the books.
