‘The Armies
Each mission informs you which datasheets should
bbe used ifyou want to fight the battle according to the
story. Ifyou are using these armies then Karanak gains
the Locus of Rage ability, and the Infernal Enrapturess
‘gains the Locus of Swiftness ability (see below). If
players are using different armies, then itis up to them
to choose sides.
KHORNE: LOCUS OF RAGE
‘The Daemons of Khorne perceive everything through
«red mist of undiluted rage. They cannot wait to spill
blood, and so surge across the battlefield to get to
grips with their foes as quickly as possible so that the
slaughter can begin in earnest.
