Disciples Of Tzeentch: Daemons

The Disciples of Tzeentch: Daemons are as bizarre and unpredictable as the god from whom they were spawned. Capering across the battlefield in a riot of colour and magic, they overwhelm their foes with sizzling spell-bolts, lashing talons and gouts of blistering wyrdflame, exulting as their hapless victims are consumed by the fires of change.

Ephilim's Pandaemonium

A congregation of Tzeentchian daemons led by Ephilim, the erstwhile apprentice to a powerful Gaunt Summoner. A keen daemonologist, Ephilim has plucked many rare creatures out of the aether to do their bidding – some with far too many mouths, some with far too many legs, and, disturbingly, some with no legs at all.

Bladeborn fighters

Ephilim's Pandaemonium are from Warhammer Underworlds, so adhere to Bladeborn rules.

Designer's Commentary

Q: The abilities ‘Split', and ‘Split Again' add new fighters to your warband. How does this interact with victory cards that relate to the number of fighters in a battle group and/ or warband?
A: The new fighters are added to your warband but are not part of any battle group.

Q: If a Horror uses either the ‘Split' or the ‘Split Again' ability, can the new Horrors activate in that battle round? A: Yes.

Q: The Screamer of Tzeentch's ‘Latching Bite' ability refers to a ‘target fighter'. Who is the target fighter?
A: The ‘target fighter' is the target of the melee attack action made by the Screamer of Tzeentch that used the ability.

Q: A Screamer of Tzeentch uses the ‘Latching Bite' ability. Does that Screamer have to make a melee attack action in order to prevent the target of that attack action from making move or disengage actions?
A: Yes.
