Rogue Trader: Lex Imperialis – Meet the Familiars

Developer Owlcat Games is teasing that Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader’s second premium DLC Lex Imperialis is just around the corner. And that means that it’s the perfect time to learn more about the Familiars.

“From the hints we dropped in our latest AMA, and with the expansion revolving around the Adeptus Arbites, many of you have already figured out that the good boy is on his way. What most of you probably didn’t expect is that there is not one but FOUR creatures that may now accompany your Rogue Trader, thanks to the brand new second-tier Overseer archetype!”

• The Cyber-Mastiff – these mechanized canine predators provide martial support during both combat and exploration, protecting their master with utmost ferocity. Notably, Solomorne Anthar, the new companion hailing from the ranks of the Adeptus Arbites, also employs one of these fearless beasts.
• The Psyber-Raven – available to Psykers, these specially bred avian creatures channel and amplify their master’s psychic abilities, increasing their range, damage and number of possible targets, as well as providing additional effects.
• The Servoskull Swarm – these constellations of hovering servo-skulls provide surveillance, relay their master’s abilities across the battlefield, and excel at harassing the enemy.
• The Cyber-Eagle – Valued by imperial Officers and Operatives for their speed and agility, these cybernetic aerial predators soar high above the battlefield, diving on command to blind and maim their master’s enemies.

Through the announcement, the team also teased other exciting additions: the new Adeptus Arbites companion is named Solomorne Anthar; the game will add the new Overseer archetype, the new Arbites origin, and more. Stay tuned!
