Imperial Agents emerge from the shadows when heresy threatens to unravel worlds, when cultists attempt to summon daemonic horrors, or when xenos corruption creeps into Humanity's domain. These agents include the enigmatic Inquisitors of the Holy Ordos and their diverse retinues, but also encompass fearsome Assassins, daring Rogue Traders, zealous priests of the Imperial faith, and other specialized operatives. Some join Imperial armies to further their secretive agendas or to aid in pivotal battles. Regardless of their mission, Imperial Agents are among the most mysterious and esoteric servants of the Golden Throne.
Codex: Imperial Agents delves into the shadowy origins of these clandestine organizations, offering a glimpse into their methods of warfare. This includes the enigmatic Deathwatch Space Marines, who serve the Ordo Xenos, and other notable forces such as the Sisters of Battle, Grey Knights, Imperial Navy, Adeptus Arbites, and more. Filled with grim, atmospheric artwork and stunning galleries of painted miniatures, this codex provides all the rules needed to wage shadow wars in the Imperium, whether in Combat Patrol, Crusade campaigns, or matched play games of Warhammer 40,000.
