Fabius Bile is one of the all time best bad guys of the game, not to mention he has a smokin miniature. I even liked the old one, but the new one hits it out of the park. He has been updated with the new Psychic Awakening War of the Spider book coming this weekend to pre-orders.

Who Is He?
Fabius Bile’s name has been accursed across the galaxy for 10,000 years. Bile was an Apothecary in the Emperor’s Children Legion when it fell to Chaos and joined Horus in his heresy against the Emperor. Even then, he’d begun his twisted experiments, attempting to improve Space Marines and declaring the Emperor to be short-sighted.
In the millennia since, he’s made his way across the war-torn Imperium seeking to perfect his so-called New Men. He even spent time with the Haemonculi of Commorragh in order to perfect his genehancing skills.
War of the Spider sees Fabius being chased by the Death Guard after stealing an ancient device from them. At the same time, he’s being tracked down by agents of the Imperium, but as they all enter the Spider’s web, the hunter may soon become the hunted.
Fabius is also getting some new rules in War of the Spider.
…while Bile can now also make attacks with the evil-looking Chirurgeon strapped to his back.
The mysterious device is even better at keeping Bile alive, and he can now ignore wounds on a 5+.
This means that he can survive longer and keep using his abilities to enhance the warriors in his army. Plus, if he’s accompanied by his assistant, he gets much greater control over the outcome of his experiments.
Remember, Fabius gets to enhance a unit at the end of the Movement phase and rolls on this table.
