Codex Imperial Agents Not Replacing Codex Books

Did someone say Sisters of Battle and Grey Knights? Games Workshop just put on a teaser update on how the new Imperial Agents codex will work!

Here’s a summary of the contents from new book from what was spotted in the new White Dwarf and GW themselves today:

It’s worth saying that this will not replace existing printed codexes for the Deathwatch or Grey Knights

Nine you say? Quoted from the OP:

1) Inquisition
2) Sisters of Battle
3) Sisters of Silence
4) Assassins
5) Grey Knights
6) Deathwatch
7) Wyvadern Psykers
8) Custodes
9) ??? Adeptus Arbites ???

Now all that excitement aside, read that last line:

Nine smaller factions… alongside your existing armies of the Imperium, from Grey Knight Terminators to Sisters..

Does that mean that you can use what is in here WITH those existing codex books OR they will be contained within, as they are referring to just singular squads of Sisters and Grey Knights?

Games Workshop weighed in today on the matter below:

inquisitor

This is a book that compiles together loads of specialist forces that commonly operate alongside other armies within the Imperium – including agents from the Inquisition, Officio Assassinorum, Deathwatch, Grey Knights, Adepta Sororitas, Cult Mechanicus, Adeptus Astra Telepathica, Aeronautica Imperialis, and even the Legion of the Damned.

Much of this content is only available digitally at the moment, some of it is new, and much of it is updated.

It’s worth saying that this will not replace existing printed codexes for the Deathwatch or Grey Knights – this just means that, if you want to add a small strike force of Elite Space Marines to your Imperial army (perhaps requisitioned by an Inquisitor, or high ranking officer), this book makes it easy for you to do so.

Speaking of which, one of the coolest things in the codex is a change to the way that the Inquisitorial Henchman Warband works. To further represent the unique nature of the Ordos (and a lot of the fiction featuring these mysterious individuals) Inquisitors can now go to battle with a squad of elite power-armoured warriors appropriate to their specialisation: Grey Knights for the Ordo Malleus, Deathwatch for the Ordo Xenos or Battle Sisters for the Ordo Hereticus, they still keep their acolytes, general hangers-on and space-oranguatan-mechanics.

We’ll have more details for you soon.

Suffice to say for now – if you have an Imperial force of any sort, this is a useful book for you.

Looks like Sisters WILL be in this book, just in a henchman form and not a full on codex book. Which leaves the door open to them appearing in the future as their own printed codex, OR perhaps this book will be a preview of new rules that may be on the way for them in 2017! Plus looks like the space monkeys are sticking around as well!

What say ye?
