Editing Codex - The Covenant (section)

===The Arbiter===
''"My life matters not, only my skill in battle and the amount of terror I put in my foes would my death be forgiven"'' ~The Arbiter's Creed, recited before a battle.

A highly skilled but dishonoured Elite, called The Arbiter when translated from the Covenant's common tongue, this once respected Supreme Commander is now shamed and must bear the weight of his title. It is required that any Arbiter must die in battlefields or missions to seek redemption in death. Clad in ritualistic armor in the coloring of silver, that is equipped with a ancient cloaking field which are then blessed from the sacred language and wards of the Holy Forerunners. He would then be gruesomely marked with the mark of shame, feeling all the pain, misery and shame he has bought to the Covenant. Showing no pity nor mercy, The Arbiter uses his skill of over a thousand battles and a hundred wars to slaughter and kill any enemy that stands in his way.

:The Arbiter is a single model armed with a Energy Sword, Plasma Rifle and Plasma Grenades. Your army may only include one ARBITER.
:'''Wargear Options''': May replace his Plasma Rifle with an item from the Standard Weapons, Special Weapons or Precision Weapons lists.
:'''Abilities''':
*For the Great Journey!
*Armor of the Arbiter: Grants a 4+ invulnerable save.
*Honor Before All Else: You can re-roll failed wound rolls of 1 for this model when attacking a CHARACTER or MONSTER in the Fight phase.
*Relentless Fury: : Roll a D6 each time this model loses his final wound; on a roll of 4+ that wound is not lost. In addition, if this model is slain in the Fight phase, once the unit that slew him has made its attacks, you can attack with him before removing his model as casualty, even if he has already attacked that phase.
*Active Camouflage: During deployment, you may setup The Arbiter as hidden on the battlefield instead of placing him on the battlefield. At the end of any of your Movement phases, he may reveal himself – set him up anywhere on the battlefield that is more than 9" from any enemy models.
