Lex Imperialis Expansion - Meet the Familiars!

Lord Captains!

The Lex Imperialis expansion for Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader is just around the corner, and today, we begin our reveals with its biggest and most exciting feature:

The Familiars!

From the hints we dropped in our latest AMA, and with the expansion revolving around the Adeptus Arbites, many of you have already figured out that the good boy is on his way. 

What most of you probably didn't expect is that there is not one but FOUR creatures that may now accompany your Rogue Trader, thanks to the brand new second-tier Overseer archetype!

Abelard, introduce:

1) The Cyber-Mastiff

Often seen accompanying Rogue Traders with the Arbites origin, these mechanized canine predators provide martial support during both combat and exploration, protecting their master with utmost ferocity. Notably, Solomorne Anthar, the new companion hailing from the ranks of the Adeptus Arbites, also employs one of these fearless beasts.

2) The Psyber-Raven

Available to Psykers, these specially bred avian creatures channel and amplify their master's psychic abilities, increasing their range, damage and number of possible targets, as well as providing additional effects.

3) The Servoskull Swarm

A useful tool often employed by imperial Officers and Operatives, these constellations of hovering servo-skulls provide surveillance, relay their master's abilities across the battlefield, and excel at harassing the enemy.

4) The Cyber-Eagle

Valued by imperial Officers and Operatives for their speed and agility, these cybernetic aerial predators soar high above the battlefield, diving on command to blind and maim their master's enemies. They may also serve as the perfect distraction, sowing confusion among enemy ranks, and even potentially causing friendly fire.

Are you ready to unleash your new potential?

Stay tuned — we'll be sharing more about the new Overseer archetype, the new Arbites origin, and other info about the Lex Imperialis expansion soon!
