Wrath & Glory - An Abundance of Apocrypha v3 PDF

An Abundance of Apocrypha
A Collection of Unofficial Rules for Warhammer 40,000: Wrath & Glory

Written and Compiled by Nathan Dowdell
The rules here are a labour of love. I’ve been a fan of the Warhammer 40,000 universe for most of my life. Working
on the Fantasy Flight Games 40k RPGs was my first job in the RPG industry. Getting a chance to be involved, even only
peripherally (playtesting, a little bit of consulting), in Wrath & Glory was a joy, but as with any new rulebook, there’s
only so much of this vast setting that can be crammed into the pages.
But I like to tinker with rules, and to come up with my own ways of representing different things. Doing that with the
40k universe is how I got into writing RPGs to begin with, so of course I’m going to dabble with that sort of extra
content now that there’s a new 40k RPG to play with. It doesn’t hurt that I find Wrath & Glory quite easy to create
stuff for.
The rules content here is all my own work, and not official in any way—any resemblance it may bear to official rules
that come out later is purely coincidental. If official rules resemble the ones found here, then it’s just a case of “great
minds think alike”. The background, of course, is a mixture of Games Workshop’s intellectual property and my own
spin on a few less-explored things, though I’ve tried to keep my own additions to the lore to a minimum to allow this
to be usable by as many Wrath & Glory fans as possible.
Note: To make the updates to this document manageable, I’ve removed the Expanded Bestiary section, which will be
released separately at a later date. This document contains only the player-facing content.

New and Expanded Species
The following additional species options may be used at your GM’s discretion, and function in the manner described
from page 85 of the Wrath & Glory Core Rulebook.
Human Homeworld
This section provides a number of additional options for human characters, providing varying abilities for the
assortment of different types of homeworld found across the Imperium. Any Human character may select one of these
options to reflect the world of their birth and how that world has influenced their outlook and abilities.
Each option contains one or more special abilities, as well as recommendations for thematic increases to their
Attributes and Skills to reflect their homeworld; consider buying at least one extra rank in one each of the Attribute
and Skill recommendations.

Unlike their Craftworld Aeldari cousins, the Drukhari do

not integrate their still-powerful latent psychic abilities
into their culture, and indeed have a great disdain for
psykers of any kind.
This is because for the Drukhari, the use of psychic

abilities would only further draw the attention of "She
Who Thirsts" (Slaanesh) upon them, and their souls are
already at risk enough of being devoured by the Prince
of Chaos.

spirits intact, and many have fallen into madness at the
sheer quantity of the trials they face. Yet an Initiate
that joins the ranks of his temple's operatives will have
all these skills at his command.
Key to the uncanny might of the Assassin is the surgery

he must undergo during his ten standard years of
tutelage. Augmentative nodes are stitched into his
brain, and sub-muscular acoustic surgery prepares his
body for the punishment that will be visited upon him
in the line of duty. The level of arcane technology
necessary is perhaps the most advanced the Imperium
can provide -- for good reason, it is constrained to Holy
Terra to minimise the chance of it being captured by
the enemies of Humanity. It is well that such ancient
techno-magicks are revered so and maintained with
such painstaking care. Without them, the polymorphic
drugs and reality-shifting devices used by the more
esoteric temples would literally tear their operatives
apart. Even if an Assassin survives his training, his leash
is still held suffocatingly tight. Only by a successful
petition to the High Lords of Terra themselves and a
two-thirds majority in the subsequent vote can an
Assassin be sanctioned and released into the galaxy to
complete the task he was born to do.
The fact that the ultimate luminaries of the Imperium

give their direct attention to the deployment of a single
individual shows just how exceptional these killers are.
The records of the Officio temples are as detailed as
they are scrupulous, a source of great pride to the
masters that watch over them. Across the millennia,
occasions where the despatch of an operative has not
resulted in the desired result are extraordinarily few
and far between. Be the target man, witch, beast or
daemon, the result is the same, for an Imperial Assassin
is death incarnate.

During character creation, any Adeptus Astartes character who has Aquila Mark VII armour may exchange that for

Mark VIII, can be obtained as an upgrade during Ascension. Heretic Astartes characters can choose Mark III, Mark IV,
or Mark VI armour to replace their Mark VII, as these are the armours most common amongst the Traitor Legions.
Mark X armour is issued according to battlefield role, but some Primaris officers (Lieutenants, Captains, Librarians, etc)
can choose freely between Tacticus, Gravis, or Phobos armour depending on their mission.

Exarch Powers
The following abilities are unique powers and combat techniques exhibited by Exarchs, mighty Aeldari warriors who
lead the Aspect Warrior shrines into battle and maintain those shrines during the all-too-rare times of peace.
An Exarch may purchase up to two of these powers, at the costs listed, so long as the Exarch meets the listed
prerequisites. Some of the powers in this section are distinct to Exarchs of particular Aspect Temples, and they may
only be selected by an Exarch of that aspect.
Many of the powers in this section affect the Exarch’s students (referred to in the powers below as “your squad”) as
well, granting a benefit to the Aspect Warriors under their command. This applies to the Devotees gained from the
Students of War benefit of the Exarch Ascension Package.
