Games Workshop 99129915029 "Warhammer Age of Sigmar Blue and Brimstone Horrors Action Figure

Product Information

With six cults to choose from, each with their own ability, command ability, command trait and artefact of power, you’ll be able to add more variety to your Tzeentch armies than ever before. Big Warscroll Changes To more simply clarify, as I can be wordy and not always explain things well, pink horrors are stronger and "better"(but still terrible for melee combat) and also can also cast spells but blue horrors are numerous. So all in all, I personally judge the new Pink/Blue Horror rules to be very strong, perhaps even technically broken, but not practically so. Sure, if you really wanted to be That Guy, you could build an army of hundreds of Horrors and all but actually flood the tabletop. But I firmly believe that the army would just be nothing but a tedious chore to play, and probably not be as strong as it looks on paper regardless.

This index gives you the flexibility to play your entire Daemons collection. While I hope we get rules that provide additional benefits for mono-God armies (and I’d love to see Disciples Of Be’lakor make a return), Index: Chaos Daemons is a great start for Daemons players in 10th Edition. Pink Horrors are the star of the show, and will be an elite tarpit as long as they don’t get a big points increase. They are almost identical to their 9th Ed iteration, trading a 3+/6+ Daemon Save for a permanent 4+ invuln. They are now a great screen and objective holder versus melee armies, too.

Sub-factions

Finally there’s Warpcraft, which focuses on Pyskers. Although Daemons have cheap Psykers and the ability to take more thanks to Horrors, Psychic Actions can only be done by CHARACTERS, and because those are all in the HQ slot and powerful units, you’ll want them casting psychic powers and smiting rather than spending their psychic phases on actions. The big downside here is Abhor the Witch, which is going to be used against you in almost every game you come up against an army with no psykers, and will typically be combined with Assassinate/Bring It Down to make each Greater Daemon kill worth an insane 8 Victory Points, and that’s for killing a unit that can’t be protected by Look Out, Sir and was already part of your opponent’s game plan. It’s not quite reason enough to not take Greater Daemons, but it makes taking exactly three of them kind of awkward, meaning you may want to conisder going all in and bringing more (or other big things).

Now, full disclosure, I’ve had very little actual play of these mechanics myself on the table as of the publication of this article, but I do have plenty of experience with Pink Horrors themselves on the table (and other than the Split special rules, they remain relatively unchanged). Putting this experience to work, I’ve begun to game out how they will now perform on the table, particularly in my hands. This is a question I’ve been pondering at length the last couple weeks. Of course, upon first seeing the rule, many online instantly jumped to the maximum numbers. For example, the maximum unit size of Pink Horrors is 20 models. So, upon their destruction, they turn into 40 Blue Horrors, which in turn becomes 40 Brimstone Horror models. Multiply this by 2-4 units of Pink Horrors, and the numbers become astronomical for a skirmish wargame (from both a model point of view as well as a dollar amount to own said models). Cries of “Pay to Win” immediately ensued. But such theoretical depictions rarely bare out on the tabletop in my experience. I found myself thinking about just how likely such a situation would really be. I mean, who really wants to deal with that? Having said that, I love the idea of my Horrors milling about the battlefield, taking casualties and constantly breaking off small units of lesser Horrors, each spewing magic all over the place. Each new unit only magnifies the overall psychic power of the army and helps to fill that visual roll I’ve been missing. Most importantly, if I start with a small base of 2-3 units, of say 10-15 Pink Horrors, in the army, I should be able to manage them so that they prove powerful, evocative and not burdensome.Chaos Lord • Exalted Champion • Chaos Champion • Aspiring Champion • Sorcerer Lord • Daemon Prince • Daemon Prince of Nurgle • Daemon Prince of Tzeentch • Death Guard Lord Our invulns versus shooting have largely become worse. Our invulns versus melee have largely become better. With variable Daemon Saves being removed in favor of one flat invuln save per unit, our defensive profiles have been simplified. The good news is that with “ignores invuln” effects being almost entirely removed from the game, our invuln saves will actually feel like invuln saves again. Note that Daemons aren’t hypocrites about this: Our three big sources of “ignore invulns” damage ourselves, Skarbrand, Be’lakor, and Skulltaker, have all lost their “ignore invulns” rules. Mechanically in tabletop it implied pink horrors could function as low level wizards who once split into blue horrors shifted roles into a more poor melee fodder role. Though in 8th edition blue horrors as models themselves were nixed on the table and restricted down to a rule using markers of a sort.

Soul Grinders are the real deal, getting to choose from 1 of 4 special shooting loadouts depending on their God mark. The most intriguing option is Nurgle’s Phlegm Bombardment, which has Indirect Fire to clear out objectives that you can’t get to with your melee units. It also gained the Scuttling Walker rule to walk over friendly Monsters/Vehicles and terrain less than 4” in height. This is very situational, but is still cool. Casting vindictive glares at their enemies and blasting them apart with mystical fire, Blue Horrors are as resentful and bitter as their pink cousins are gleeful and capricious. Muttering glumly, Blue Horrors cast azure flames from their fingertips, stomping and protesting as they do so. Should a Blue Horror be slain, it groans and flashes into flame as a pair of Brimstone Horrors replaces it. Changeling - Blue Scribes ( P'tarix - Xirat'p) - Kairos Fateweaver - Daemoniac Conundrum - Niz'roppxl - Queen of Foxesedition is here, and with it a whole raft of changes to the factions of Warhammer 40,000. With the Munitorum Field Manual out in the wild and the Faction FAQs released, now’s a good time to start taking a look at what’s changed for all of our favorite armies. Today, Robert “TheChirurgeon” Jones is talking about Chaos Daemons. Deepstrike into difficult and/or dangerous terrain for no good reason. Speaking of deepstriking – what happens to Horrors that mishap and subsequently roll a 1 on the Deep Strike Mishap Table? Do the Blue or Brimstone Horrors that the unit’s destruction cause then subsequently deepstrike in? If so, where? Do they use the original model as their point of origin to deepstrike themselves in? I suspect the answer is “Yes” to all of that, but I legitimately don’t know for sure. As a rule, I’ve typically run 2-3 units of Pink Horrors (usually with 11 or 12 members to add 2 warp charge to my army pool) in my Tzeentch Daemon armies, and often included the Portalglyph to summon additional small units of them. I’ve found more and/or larger units of Pink Horrors than this to be unwieldy, slowing my game play down (particularly irksome in tournaments) and not adding enough oomph to be worth the effort. When summoning more daemons for the army, I also usually prefer to summon units of Flamers rather than Pink Horrors, for the same reasons. The Guild of Summoners are one of the most unusual sub-factions in the book. These crazed cultists can’t actually summon anything other than Lords of Change – but their first only costs a mere 9 Fate Points. In practice, this means that only 9 spells need to be cast, anywhere on the table, for you to get a massive boost in battle – an incredible counter to magic-heavy forces. Warp Rifts will be familiar to anyone who used daemonic deepstrike shenanigans in 9th Edition, although those shenanigans are returning in a simplified and generally weaker form. Warp Rifts means that whenever you are set up wholly within your army’s Shadow Of Chaos using the Deep Strike rule, you can set up 6” away from the enemy instead of 9” away.
