Чуть полнее описание:

In the darkness of the Imperium Nihilus, the Imperium has all but ceased to exist; here the Shadow Lady Faoiltarna awaits the tribute and homage of the Patricians of Visnoq. A noted Corsair leader from Biel-Tan before the coming of the Ynnari, she is prone to overt displays of power. Her favoured concubine Bethrie Rosethorn holds a trophy of the recent sacking of Watch-Fortress Cryptus testifying to her power over recalcitrant elements of the sundered Imperium. Faoiltarna sits on another such trophy, the Primaris Watch-Captain Typhon Nemiel, who was denied the mercy of death after his defeat in a personality-scouring Mind War by her seers, now only a fragmented personality Typhon is only dimly aware of his shame.

Nobody is Safe From the Awesome Power of The T’au Empire’s New and Improved Railgun

For the T’au Empire, warfare means massed pulse rifle fire, hit-and-run battlesuits, and the whip-crack report of awesomely powerful railguns making mincemeat of enemy vehicles. We’ve looked at the first two already, so it’s time to tackle the railgun – the shining star of T’au engineering, and the dependable Hammerhead tank it’s often mounted on.

Popular with proponents of both the Mont’ka and Kauyon philosophies, rail weapons use magnetic fields to fire metal slugs at very high velocity, punching through armour like paper. And in the upcoming Codex: T’au Empire, they’ve had a considerable upgrade.

The Fire Caste use several varieties, from the Pathfinders‘ rail rifles to the heavy rail cannons of a Manta Missile Destroyer, but it’s the Hammerhead’s railgun that all others are compared to.

There are a few things to break down here. With an AP of -6 and the ability to ignore invulnerable saves, your payload will be making it through almost any kind of energy field, daemonic protection, or battle plate that might stand in its way.

Once that shot hits home, it delivers eye-watering damage with the potential to knock out vehicles and large monsters in a single shot. With such a powerful single slug, connecting with each shot is crucial, so the Hammerhead has an advanced targeting array that pairs well with the new Markerlights rules.

The Hammerhead is shockingly effective at turning single targets into smoking wrecks, but what if the enemy is coming in numbers? Faced with smaller foes, Hammerhead pilots can load short-ranged Submunitions.

The railgun is not the only big hitter getting a major update in the new Codex: T’au Empire – would you believe it isn’t even the strongest weapon in their arsenal? We’ll be having a look at a few more soon, but in the meantime, you should brush up on the devious plans of the Genestealer Cults and Adeptus Custodes.

Meet the True Power Behind the Warmaster’s Throne - Maloghurst the Twisted

После начала Ереси Малогарст показал себя одним из самых доверенных лиц Воителя***. И хотя его увечье больше не позволяло воевать на передовой, Малогарст был удостоен чести носить личный знак Хоруса.****

Миниатюра идеально отображает Малогарста таким, каким он был в начале Ереси Хоруса. А его правила из второй книги «Ересь Хоруса» - «Резня», открывают несколько уникальных вариантов сборки армии Сынов Хоруса.

*Об этом можно прочитать в романе «Возвышение Хоруса».

**На самом деле Хорус этого не делал, но определенно должен был.  Возможно это было началом его падения. 

***Узнать о том на что способен Малогарста вы можете в романе «Рабы тьмы».

**** Оскорбление прозвище, производственная травма ЕЩЁ И дополнительная работа. Хорошо что у Сынов Хоруса нет отдела кадров.
