White Dwarf 162 Index Astartes: Exorcists Preview

 So Warhammer Community dropped a bombshell that rocked the Grey Knight and Sons Rogal Dorn 40k Community. As a member of both I am happy for the annoucement.

Index Astartes: Exorcists

The Exorcists have long been held among the most controversial Chapters of Space Marines, and with good reason. Forged from the genetic stock of the Primarch Rogal Dorn, they share many of the stoic traits of Imperial Fists successors. Yet, they’re also possessed (quite literally) of a unique quality unlike that of any other Chapter. 

Were the wider Imperium to learn the source of the Exorcists’ apparent resistance to the otherworldly powers of Chaos, they would undoubtedly declare them Traitoris Extremis and purge them from existence.

You can read all about their shocking lore, then field them in battle thanks to an official rules supplement for Codex: Space Marines, which includes their bespoke Chapter Tactic, By My Will I Deny Thee.

So Exorcists are no Longer rumored Successors to Grey Knights but are confirmed to be Imperial Fist lineage. This makse sense to me as Dorn was the last known surving Primarch and knew the power of the warp and Daemons. 

I am really looking forward to building my mostly Gravis Exorcists army!
