The Skull of Monarchia

Word Bearers :: Table of Contents
Codex Supplement: Word Bearers, p. 8

Cost: 15pts

The destruction of Monarchia at the hands of the Ultramarines Legion was all but total. A few relics remain from that time, however. The artefact known as the Skull of Monarchia is foremost amongst them, the only intact cranium that remained after the utter destruction visited upon the Word Bearers' perfect city. Chased with precious metals and protected with powerful force fields, it is a constant reminder of the destruction that turned the Word Bearers upon the path of rebellion and damnation. All those nearby find their hatred of the Imperium swelling to new heights.

One unit in your army with the Character special rule that does not have the Unique keyword and no other Relic Wargear may purchase this wargear. If your army includes a model equipped with this Relic, all Word Bearers units in your army gain the Hatred (Imperium) special rule. In addition, they can re-roll all Wound rolls against Ultramarines units.
