These aren’t something you can just dip into any more, but the potential rewards are substantial. The tradeoff, however, is that the bonuses you get are considerably bigger than any of the Specialist Detachments we saw in 8th, including static boosts to units, new army wide effects and even a new Psychic discipline as well as warlord trait, at least one relic and four stratagems each.
