Designer’s Notes: The Daughters of Khaine Battletome

March 2018·p. 9

THE SHORT VERSION

Robin Cruddace explains the deception behind Morathi’s claimed communion with Khaine: the power of the cult’s slaughter flows to her. Shadow magic, prayers, escalating Blood Rites and a one-way transformation give that background mechanical expression, while the spare Avatar from an existing kit becomes a usable unit.
