The Tools of Chaos: Daemonology

January 2006·p. 71

THE SHORT VERSION

The rules define “Daemons” broadly for these environmental exceptions. Alongside summoned creatures and Daemonhosts, the list includes certain possessed vehicles, Eldar Avatars, Possessed Marines and sufficiently altered Chaos Lords. The surrounding background contrasts entities formed from the Warp with Daemon Princes who retain mortal purpose and individuality. Players are encouraged to use judgement for comparable creations beyond the named examples.

Editorial

Owen Rees reflects on the enlarged Games Day and the practical possibilities of newly available Middle-earth components. He introduces the reorganized Astronomican as a stronger home for clubs, stores and readers’ models, while describing progress on the Tahnelians’ heavy weapons platoon and a converted officer. The editorial also anticipates a staff Mordheim campaign, linking the team’s personal projects with the following months’ coverage.

The News

Andy Hoare previews the expanded Tau armoury, including plastic Sky Rays, Piranhas, XV25 suits and Commander Shadowsun. Other reports introduce Middle-earth component ordering, a Wood Elf stag rider, two Forge World Hellhound variants and the coming Mark of Chaos computer game. A school animation project demonstrates another use for miniatures, while Horus Rising heralds a new fiction series. The news also flags missing profiles in the new Middle-earth rulebooks and a consolidated historical rules release.

The Tau Are Back

Andy Hoare connects the new Tau codex with improvements in plastic manufacture that make Stealth suits and formerly resin vehicles available as plastic kits. The Sky Ray’s seeker missiles depend on allied markerlights, while Piranhas work in fast squadrons to contest objectives. XV25 armour introduces a revised suit with a support-system option, and Shadowsun symbolizes the third expansion. The interview presents the additions as complementary tools within the Tau’s interdependent army.
