WARHAMMER 40,000 IMPERIUM NIHILUS: VIGILUS ABLAZE Official Update Version 1.0 Although we strive to ensure that our rules are perfect, sometimes mistakes do creep in, or the intent of a rule isn’t as clear as it might be. These documents collect amendments to the rules and present our responses to players’ frequently asked questions. As they’re updated regularly, each has a version number; when changes are made, the version number will be updated, and any changes from the previous version will be highlighted in magenta. Where a version number has a letter, e.g. 1.1a, this means it has had a local update, only in that language, to clarify a translation issue or other minor correction.

FAQs

When upgrading a Detachment into a Specialist Detachment, can you give a Character a Relic in addition to the Relic normally available from your Warlord’s faction?

No. Relics listed within the Specialist Detachment can be given instead of a Relic from your Warlord’s codex; additional Relics may be enabled by Stratagems found in codexes.

If Huron Blackheart is your Warlord, which Warlord Trait does he have—Eternal Vendetta or Reaver Lord?

Use Reaver Lord if Huron has the Raiders from the Maelstrom Renegade Trait from Imperium Nihilus: Vigilus Ablaze; otherwise use Eternal Vendetta.

What keyword limitations apply to Purge units regarding Nurgle, Khorne, Tzeentch, and Slaanesh?

Purge units must have the Nurgle keyword if able to do so; if a unit has Khorne or Tzeentch or Slaanesh, it cannot be from the Purge.
