Daemon Battleforce and Reference Cards

March 2013·p. 21

THE SHORT VERSION

A shared Battleforce or Battalion assembles followers of all four Chaos gods. Bloodletters, Plaguebearers, Nurglings, Seekers and Screamers give a new collection varied units rather than one allegiance. Separate card packs support the Warhammer magic lores and 40K psychic disciplines. The notice frames both the box and reference aids as companions to the newly released books.

Opening Salvo

Jes Bickham introduces a Daemon release shared by Warhammer and 40K. New miniatures arrive alongside both an army book and a codex, giving the issue two related sets of background and rules to explore. Adam Troke paints a substantial force to test against Matt Hutson’s Imperial Fists and contributes its painting methods. Bickham also looks ahead to the magazine’s four-hundredth issue and its planned celebrations.

Plague Drones of Nurgle

Three Plaguebearers ride bloated Rot Flies in this new plastic cavalry set. Optional command parts give the riders a distinctive banner, bell and leader. Alternative fly heads and tails vary the creatures, while swallowed victims and damaged bodies make their origins visibly unpleasant. The review identifies extras that can personalise the unit beyond the basic three builds.

Burning Chariot and Herald of Tzeentch

The Burning Chariot balances an ornate disc above magical flames, pulled by two Screamers. An Exalted Flamer and accompanying Blue Horrors make one version, while an extensively customisable Herald offers the alternative. Spare arms, heads, books and weapons expand the possibilities for other characters. Building the Flamer version can also leave enough components for a separate Herald, extending the kit’s usefulness.
