Castellans of the Imperium

When the Imperium faces the direst of threats, it requires all of its military arms to work in conjuction to secure the future of Humanity. Bolstered by their versatility and shared devotion to the Emperor, and driven by the desperation such a mustering of strength signifies, disparate Imperial warriors become a force greater than the sum of its parts.

Unlike the Detachments shown in Warhammer 40,000: The Rules, the Castellans of the Imperium Detachment have Force Organisation Charts whose slots are a combination of Battlefield Roles from multiple Factions. However, they still have compulsory and optional elements, as well as Restrictions and Command Benefits, just like any other Detachment. If your Warlord is part of a Castellans of the Imperium Detachment, that entire Detachment is your Primary Detachment.

The Castellans of the Imperium Detachment Army List divides the units available into several categories, according to their Battlefield Role. You must use the profiles, points costs, equipment, options, special rules and any Dedicated Transports available to each unit as described on their datasheet. Each entry will include an abbreviated reference to the codex, publication or dataslate where their appropriate datasheet can be found, denoted as follows:

• Codex: Assassins – ‘A’
• Codex Supplement: Angels of Death – ‘AoD’
• Codex: Astra Militarum – ‘AM’
• Codex: Adepta Sororitas – ‘AS’
• Warhammer 40,000: Death from the Skies – ‘DftS’
• Codex: Inquisition – ‘I’
• Codex: Imperial Agents – ‘IA’
• Codex: Imperial Knights – ‘IK’
• Mont’ka: The Rules – ‘M’
• Codex: Militarum Tempestus – ‘MT’
• Codex: Space Marines – ‘SM’
