Faction lore

Drawn together by their haunting dirges, some Drowned Choristers can come to sing together to the peril of all. The cries of Drowned Choristers resound through the deeps and haunt the dreams of sleepers too near the shore. Many are driven to madness by the Drowned Choir’s calls, and those who hurl them selves into the deeps are bound to serve them forever more. On occasion driven by chance, design, or by desire, on moonless nights an unholy triumvirate of them may be drawn together across countless leagues of trackless ocean. Their combined chorus draws all who heed their call into the briny depths, to slave and serve forever. When such warbads form they are fey and wayward, moving back and forth with the currents of tide and storm to no plan or reasoning of mortal mind. Over time there is a danger that a Drowned Choir can merge fully into a conjoined entity known as a Leviathal Chorus, but such occurrences are mercifully rare.

Lore

It is said that those who experience near-death through drowning speak of hearing something in the deeps, a song or call or roar they cannot explain. Some can never shake the memory – it haunts their dreams and their waking world until they receive revelation and consummation. Doomed to search for it forever after, some take up the Leviathan bell, a sealed casque of abyssal waters. Within the bell they are drowned and reborn, recalling the sonorous calls of the darkest depths, a sound fit to cloud the mind and chill the marrow of any mortal souls who hear it. Drowned Choristers float eternally in unseen waters, their binding-chains stirred by ghostly currents.

Heretic Raiders have depopulated entire coastlines with their incessant attacks across the generations. Huge numbers of souls are taken by them as plunder to be sold to flesh-markets and caravans of Sin, though the strongest may be kept by the raiders themselves for sport and toil. Such Wretched are branded with cursed, flesh-eating tattoos as a safeguard against escape and heavily drugged to degrade and dull their will, while still leaving their aggression intact.

Heretic Raiders make up the majority of the warband, sworn to serve beneath the Heretic Captain until Heaven cracks and the seas drain away. They are quick and well-armed, equipped with the pick of the plunder from a hundred raids. Heretic Raider Legionnaires are veterans of the crew, often trusted gunners and topside men, who vie to be the first to step ashore or invade a foreign deck.

If this is impossible for any reason, the Goetic Warlock must stay in their original position. Note that the Goetic Warlock can redeploy even if they are down or within 1” of an enemy model (in which case the enemy model cannot make a Melee Attack before the Goetic Warlock is redeployed), and can redeploy within 1” of an enemy model. In addition, if the roll is a Success or Critical Success and the Goetic Warlock is within 1” of any enemy models mounted on a 32mm base or smaller, then the Goetic Warlock can take 1 of the enemy models with them. If they do so, you must redeploy the Goetic Warlock first and then redeploy the enemy model within 1” of the Goetic Warlock. If you cannot redeploy the enemy model within 1” of the Goetic Warlock, then the enemy model stays in its original position.

Lore

Reinforced armour is a master-crafted suit made individually for the most important and elite troops. Each one is richly decorated and often carries the personal device of the warrior who wears it.

Lore

Goetic Warlocks are nightmarish creations forged in the death factories of the Third Circle of Hell. Captured priests, prophets, vicars, rectors, and monks are tortured in fiendish machines that burn away their flesh with hellfire, encasing their still-living skeletons in infernal suits of armour, and stamping them with Goetic runes. The process is so agonising that the victims, driven by desperation, willingly enter into demonic pacts, seeking an end to their unbearable suffering. Thus, a new Goetic Warlock is born, now a ruthless predator, driven to hunt the very mortals they once swore to protect.

The mere gaze of a Warlock induces necrosis. In close quarters, they clasp their enemies in a merciless embrace. Drawing on Goetic power, they portal to a secluded location, where they can savour the prolonged destruction of their victim, slowly shredding them into pieces. They revel in the grotesque act of skinning their victims alive, transforming the remains into repulsive vellum for dark grimoires and profane religious texts. Some even wear the faces of their victims to power their illusionary spells, confounding their enemies.

Due to the rarity of the victims required to create Goetic Warlocks, these abominations are reserved for the most renowned Heretic commanders, with the greatest need and the most influential connections in the twisted web of Heretic politics. Mammon, the mighty devil of Greed, offers his personal battalion of Warlocks to the highest bidder.

Lore

Reinforced armour is a master-crafted suit made individually for the most important and elite troops. Each one is richly decorated and often carries the personal device of the warrior who wears it.

Lore

The origins of the Scripture Guardians remain shrouded in mystery, though rumours suggest they were created by the great masters of Kabbalah. Accounts of their existence began circulating in the early days of the Great War as the destruction of Jerusalem unearthed tombs and sacred resting places. Those who had once been interned in peace now wander the unhappy land, endlessly reciting the sacred writings entrusted to them in death. On rare occasions, expeditions into No Man’s Land have encountered such creatures, and by placing a holy text of their faith into its hands, they have transformed the Scripture Guardian into a powerful ally, bound to the will of those who align with the holy (or desecrated) scroll or tome it holds.

Capable of speaking and reading the One True Language, the Scripture Guardian can unleash the powers it calls upon against anyone its master commands. It carries out its purpose with the single-mindedness of an automaton, devoid of thought or empathy. When spoken by the Guardian, the words are imbued with the primordial power of Creation, and capable of unmaking anything in their path. The longer the Guardian concentrates on its target, the greater the power it channels.

Place the model to one side, along with any MARKERS it may have. It is inside the Sin Eater and cannot be affected in any way or carry out any

except as described below. While it is in the Sin Eater it is considered to be Down for the purposes of Morale Checks. A Sin Eater can only have 1 devoured model at a time.
When it is Activated, it can take a Fight
Action
and must target the Sin Eater. Add
-3 Dice
to the roll for the Melee Attack, and do not use any of the model’s abilities or any of the special rules for its weapons.
If the Sin Eater is taken Out of Action, before removing them from the battlefield, deploy the devoured model within 1" of the Sin Eater and place it Down. If this is impossible, the model is taken Out of Action. In either case, the Sin Eater is then removed from the battlefield.
If a devoured model is still inside a Sin Eater when the game ends, it is considered to have been taken Out of Action.
Each time the Sin Eater is Activated, place 1

S, it is immediately taken Out of Action (ignoring any rules that would prevent this) and is no longer considered to be inside the Sin Eater.
