Warhammer 40K: New Archetypes In The Forsaken System Player’s Guide
The Forsaken System Player’s Guide opens up all-new options for Wrath & Glory characters. Come catch a glimpse of the Astartes Librarian.
The Forsaken System Player’s Guide is an upcoming expansion for Wrath & Glory, the 40K RPG. Inside it you’ll find a guide to everything you need to play through campaigns set in the cut-off portions of the galaxy, otherwise known as the Imperium Nihilus. Severed by the Cicatrix Maledictum, this part of the Imperium is home to many heroes who bravely try to hold back the tides of Chaos. Players will find all-new archetypes in the book, and we’re taking a look at one below. Check out the Astartes Librarian, and find how you can use the power of the Empyrean against your foes without being a filthy heretic.

Astartes Librarian
I don’t need powers of astral divination to foresee your complete eradication.
– Codicier Pandemos of the Flesh Tearers Chapter
You are a battle-psyker of the Adeptus Astartes, a terrifying combination of inhuman might and warp-endowed superpowers.
If an Astartes aspirant is discovered to possess psychic potential, they are seconded to their Chapter’s Librarius, where they undergo even more gruelling instruction. Those who overcome the trials with their mind, body and soul intact become Librarians. They prophecise future conflicts, facilitate the Chapter’s astrotelepathic communications, and unleash deadly magics against enemy formations.
The Warp’s constant temptations transform Librarians into somber, even sinister, figures. As chroniclers of their Chapter’s history, their powers often manifest in sympathy with their brotherhood’s traditions — for example, the psychic blast of a Salamanders Librarian might appear as the fiery breath of a dragon from Nocturne, the Salamanders’ homeworld.
Amongst the many powers of an Absolvers Librarian is the crafting of unbreakable vows, that destroy any who attempt to violate their promise. This assurance of allegiance has helped forge unity throughout the Gilead System, albeit through the threat of psychic obliteration.
We can also mention that the Librarian is one of 20 new Archetypes, and that the Forsaken System Player’s Guide features the Librarius Psychic discipline along with a small armoury of new Wargear.
