About this deal
Included in the Warhammer Slaves To Darkness Army Set is everything you need to jumpstart a new legion. From models to the new Battletome for the faction, as well as other useful accessories, this Army Set will get you well on your way down the Bleak Path. Included in the Army Set is:
This box doesn’t have the Warhammer 40k instructions inside, which is a little annoying for anyone buying this to make the Daemon Prince for their Chaos Space Marines or Daemons army. However, we will show you how it goes together. A special edition** of Battletome: Slaves to Darkness is included, providing a full complement of rules for these troops and more, as well as lore that details the history of Chaos in the Mortal Realms, and the new schism opening up in the ranks during the Era of the Beast. unit chosen from the following list: CHAOS LORD, CHAOS SORCERER LORD, Exalted Hero of Chaos, Ogroid Myrmidon, Slaves to Darkness Daemon Prince, Darkoath Warqueen, Darkoath Chieftain Other benefits: The Nurgle warshrine prayer allows reroll of wounds to a nearby unit, with a bonus +1 to saves if said unit is Nurgle marked – great if you’re mono Nurgle but if you’re not then praying to Chaos for rerolls to hits and wounds is outright better.
Lord of Terror: Subtract 1 from the Bravery characteristic of enemy units within 6″ of this general. See my analysis of the Helm of the Oppressor above for reasons why this is a bad idea. F Distorting Miasma: Extends the range of your general’s Twisted Dominion ability to 9″. Meh, skip. D- Binding Damnation (Casting Value 7)– One visible unit within 12″ fights last in the combat phase until your next hero phase.
But we want a full 1,000 point army that we can start playing with, so to add to the above I’d possibly look at buying a Chaos Sorcerer Lord, a Darkoath Warqueen and a set of Darkoath Savagers. What will it all cost? You also get your own artefacts and traits like other subfactions, remember your Varanguard that compose most of your list get to take these which can be very helpful for coordination of these units. Command Traits Archaon’s personal legion is perhaps the craziest of the legions in terms of rules for two reasons: Firstly, most of the rules for this legion are dependent on Archaon himself being your general and on the battlefield, and secondly rather than getting a list of artefacts and command traits, a bonus special rule table is provided for the Varanguard, Archie’s personal posse. The Daemon Prince is really highly-detailed, but there are a lot of bits that aren’t in the instructions because they didn’t really say much for the Warhammer 40k version. Baseline Benefit: Unmodified hit rolls of 6 cause 2 hits instead of 1 (roll to wound and save seperately).
Review: New Vallejo Game Color range – now for pro painters only? 3.1k views | posted on January 7, 2023 Annihilating Charge –Re-roll charge rolls for friendly units wholly within 12″ of this general. Not bad, keep your Varanguard in a castle and help them all charge in together. B Obviously, we don’t know the actual pricing of the individual units quite yet, but we have plenty of evidence to go off. Either way, the estimated value here should give you a great idea of what to expect. All in all I think this is a nice fluffy list which will be fun and meets our heavy metal theme from the Start Collecting! box. What will it cost? Set Some of the best Centerpiece Models –You have both Archaon and the new Be’lakor model, both of which look absolutely gorgeous and are extremely powerful as well.
