Games Workshop Warhammer 40k - Ultramarines Captain Uriel Ventris

Product Information

Instead of death, their punishment was to be bound to a Death Oath and exiled from the Chapter. All insignia of the Ultramarines, which included the symbol on their shoulderguards, were removed. Upon leaving the Fortress of Hera to embark on the March of Shame, they were commanded by Calgar to seek and destroy daemonic womb creatures, the Daemonculaba, seen in a vision by the Chief Librarian Varro Tigurius. [6] [7] The Church of Ancient Ways, a secret and heretical organisation, had plagued the planet by planting bombs in the world's manufactoria. In addition, a series of raids by the Drukhari had been on-going for six Terran years. Ventris successfully handled both problems, defeating a civil insurrection by disgruntled Pavonis nobles and crushing the Dark Eldar and their Human collaborator in the tomb of the C'tan known as the Nightbringer. Unfortunately for all the intelligent races of the galaxy, the Nightbringer escaped into the cosmos. A district of the city has been destroyed in a fiery cataclysm. While dogged investigators rake through the rubble for clues to the catastrophe, some of Varangantua’s more unscrupulous residents take advantage of the distraction to further their own agendas. Each of the seven stories in this volume links these events in some way, building up a picture of a nightmare city gripped by turmoil. In the wake of the birth of the Great Rift and the dawn of the Era Indomitus, Ventris was sent to return the resurrected Primarch Roboute Guilliman to Macragge to defeat Mortarion and his Death Guard during the Plague Wars. During the Declare Battle Formations step, for each Leader in your army, if your army also includes one or more of that Leader’s Bodyguard units, you can select one of those Bodyguard units. That Leader will then attach to that Bodyguard unit for the duration of the battle and is said to be leading that unit. Each Bodyguard unit can only have one Leader attached to it.

Newly promoted after the death of his mentor, Captain Ventris leads his warriors to the world of Pavonis, plagued by Drukhari raiders and riven with political infighting. As he unravels a conspiracy, Ventris discovers that an ancient evil lurks beneath the surface of Pavonis, and that not all his allies are quite what they appear. The Captain of the 4th ability grants Ventris the Master of the Fleet honorific if he’s included in your Crusade force. Harness the power of Ventris’ strike cruiser, Vae Victus , and rain wrath upon the battlefield in your narrative games! Of all the lawless places in the 41st Millennium, the immense city of Varangantua must surely be among the most dangerous. All the tales in the Warhammer Crime range are set in its streets, and they’re joined now by a new anthology of seven loosely connected short stories set in the wake of a terrible disaster. Ventris crossed the Rubicon Primaris to become a Primaris Marine and led the 4th Company against Necrons on Sycorax during the Indomitus Crusade. He may only have Rapid Fire 1, but the 30″ range makes up for it. -2 AP 2 Damage is also very nice, although S4 means you might only really shoot at Marines with it. High Toughness will prove to be a challenge with such low shots and strength. He also gets access to Bolter Discipline which helps out here if he is stationary, giving you 2 shots at the full 30″ range.Nine years later, he became a full-fledged Marine in the Scout Company, and was finally inducted into the Fourth Company in 909.M41. During his training, he discovered he had a natural talent for war and swore to become the best warrior Macragge had ever seen. [4x] Captain At the start of the battle, each objective marker on the battlefield is said to be contested, and so is not controlled by either player. To control an objective marker, a player will first need to move models within range of it. A model is within range of an objective marker if it is within 3" horizontally and 5" vertically of that objective marker. Ventris and the Unfleshed infiltrated the heart of the fortress, and whilst the Unfleshed fought against the guards, Ventris and Pasanius freed the Heart of Blood. Once freed, the psychic barriers protecting the fortress fell, allowing the Omphalos Daemonium to appear and fight against its bitter rival. [7] You can add Captain Uriel Ventris to any army with the Ultramarines faction keyword for 110 points or 6 Power. For this cost, he brings everything you’d expect from a Primaris Captain to the table and a fair bit more.

Captain Uriel Ventris prepares for battle with meditations upon the will of the Emperor of Mankind and his Primarch Roboute Guilliman. Whether he’s scything through units or duelling Characters, Ventris is sure to reap a fearsome tally – especially with his Warlord Trait, Paragon of War, which causes a mortal wound on an unmodified wound roll of 6.* Out of respect for Captain Bannon, who had died in an earlier mission in destroying another Hiveship, Ventris assumed command of the Deathwatch team before its boarding mission. This was in breach of the Codex Astartes, when Ventris ceded command of his men on the planet to his senior Sergeant, Learchus Abantes. [4x] Captain Uriel Ventris was born in the subterranean cities of the Imperial Civilised World of Calth in the Realm of Ultramar and chose to become an Ultramarines aspirant when he came of age to participate in the Chapter's trials.In the wake of Ultramar's invasion by the forces of Chaos, Uriel volunteered to cross the Rubicon Primaris, and now he fights for the Imperium with greater strength than ever before. Uriel delivered an ultimatum to the T'au; either their forces withdrew unharmed, or he would have the 4th Company Strike Cruiser Vae Victus unleash an Exterminatus action on Pavonis to deny the planet to the T'au. Realising Ventris' threats were not empty, the T'au reluctantly retreated. The headline release for the event is the latest entry in Graham McNeill’s chronicles of Uriel Ventris, as The Swords of Calth sets the Ultramarines captain on a new path. After crossing the Rubicon Primaris, Ventris must adjust to his new body even as old enemies return to wage war against Guilliman’s sons.

During his conflict with the Iron Warriors, Uriel Ventris was shot in the head by a bolter round fired by his Chaos-corrupted clone, the Newborn, which led to the loss of his right eye. It was later replaced by an augmetic eye created by Magos Biologis Vianco Locard. You can add Captain Uriel Ventris to any army with the Ultramarines faction keyword for 110 points or 6 Power. For this cost, he brings everything you’d expect from a Primaris Captain to the table and a fair bit more. If you’ve read any of the novels, you’ll know that Ventris is famed for his unconventional solutions to battlefield problems, which is reflected in his Unorthodox Strategist ability. This allows him to reduce the CP cost of the Adaptive Strategy Stratagem from Codex: Space Marines , letting you react to the changing situation in your games and disrupt enemy plans with ease. It is likely, however, that it was the same athame that Remus Ventanus had taken from the Word Bearers officer Hol Beloth during the Battle of Calth, though it could also have been the dagger Ventanus had taken from one of the other Word Bearers officers to bear an athame, Morpal Cxir, and used to banish the Daemon Samus. Now thanks to a Warhammer Community Preview, we are one step closer to realizing his viability on the tabletop.

3:00pm: It’s Not Over Yet

The Unfleshed were the mutated rejects of the Daemonculaba; born disfigured and without skin, they were cast away by their creators. The Iron Warriors mass-produced skin to flesh newly born Iron Warriors, but those rejected were discarded. Ventris convinced the Unfleshed, who still worshipped the Emperor, to join him in his mission to destroy Khalan-Ghol. Vaanes and the other renegades abandoned Ventris, except for Leonid.
