🎄Veiled Blade Elimination Force – A Grotmas Calendar Special

The Veiled Blade Elimination Force brings the elite assassins of the Officio Assassinorum together in a devastatingly efficient detachment designed to handle the Imperium’s most dangerous enemies.

Combining the talents of multiple assassin temples with enhanced strategic tools, this detachment gives players the power to deal precision strikes against high-value targets while staying elusive and resilient.

The detachment’s signature rule, Extremis Sanction, boosts the assassins’ unique abilities, allowing each one to be used twice per game instead of once.

Additionally, mandatory enhancements grant powerful new tactical options—for example, a Callidus Assassin can use Decoy Targets to relocate across the battlefield, catching enemies off guard. These upgrades make assassins even deadlier and more flexible in a variety of battlefield situations.

Players can also leverage cunning Stratagems like Orbital Oversight, which restricts enemies from targeting assassins at range unless they’re dangerously close, or Ensnaring Trap, which lets your operatives launch counter-charges in key moments.

These tools emphasize the assassins’ ability to control the flow of battle, disrupt enemy plans, and strike at the most critical points.

Veiled Blade Elimination Force Enhancements:

EXTREMIS ABILITIES:

• Decoy Targets (+40 points): During your Movement phase, twice per battle, select one friendly Infantry model on the battlefield that is not within Engagement Range of any enemy units.
