The forces of Chaos continue to amass in the 41st millennium, and Games Workshop have previewed its two latest poster boys.
Revealed today on the Warhammer Community website, the Death Guard and World Eaters both have a new anointed champion. The Lord of Poxes flies the mouldy flag for Nurgle, using a turbine mounted on his back to spread a foul, corrupting miasma across the battlefield. This Shroud of Disease also prevents any enemies more than 18” away from targeting not only the Lord of Poxes, but also any unit he leads. Think it’s better to get up close and personal? Think again; his plague blade causes Devastating Wounds and Lethal Hits.
Khorne’s new favourite, meanwhile, is known as the Slaughterbound. He returns one destroyed Eightbound or Exalted Eightbound miniature into his unit each Command Phase, and can use Deepstrike and Scout 6” to get that unit into the grill of his enemies. Worse still, he also enjoys three extra Attacks and Devastating Wounds once per battle.
See the Games Workshop website for more details.
