Some are relatively recent additions to the Long War. Such is the case for Pestilaan, once a normal human but now the seml-daemonic Favourite of Nurgle, God of Decay. He started life as an ordinary child on a simple frontier planet, long ago cut off from the Imperium by Warp Storms. Without supervision, wild psykers grew Unchecked on the planet, though most were destroyed as witches or worse. Pestilaan’s powers were unknown toll, even himself, throughout his adolescence. It was not until an outbreak of the Festering Pox swept through his region that his differences appeared. He grow fascinated by the changes taking place to him and those around him, as all around developed pustules of greenish ichor, which would burst open as the disease tan lis Course. Observing the twisted patterns of growth, the obscene changes to the flesh, brought him delight. ‘Many of those ne watched died, but those who lived noticed that whilst he did catch the disease, it did not seem (0 actually weaken him as it did the others, His fellow villagers grew angered. and declared him a ‘Witch, and as was their custom buried him alive in a tomb of solid rock, far below the ground. There he was left to perish, surrounded by the dead bones of those whe had been condemned before him. He grew gaunt and thin, deprived of food and water. His mind, though, seemed t0 grow from a smouldering, ember into a burst into flame as his body weakened Strange dreams swept his brain from sleeping to waking, growing to obsessive visions of entire worlds made of rotting flesh grown from burst pustules of unearthly gods’ Without heing aware of his latent powers, he began (0 reach out with his untrained Psychic powers into the Warp - and was noticed. ‘The warp-entity that ie Nurgle detected the faint tendils of psychic energy reaching out, and tasted the savoury flavour of the mortal’s mind.

Inside, they found something that was no longer human, The being that emerged into the faint light almost glowed with daemonic energies. His once-fair countenance now contained a single hhorn, projecting from the gangrenous brow. Both eyes had merged into a cyclopean orb. Wielding the bloated chalice above his head, he renounced his old life and declared himself now Pestilaan, Favoured of Nurgle. The Plague Marines recagnised their god's touch upon him, and lead him to the ships.

His reputation grew further when. after days of ‘communal meditation with daemons, he was gifted with a Plaguesword, which appeared before him from the Warp.

Bad news for the Imperium... Ibe barsh clang of metal on metal echoed along the black-ribbed corridor as the World Eater Marines marched to the airlock of the landing post. Ten thousand years of warfare bad not dulled their thirst to spill the blood of those who opposed their god. Khorne would have his trophies from the backwater mudball beneath their raiding ship. The general roar of angry snarls and vows of bloodshed ceased as one of the World Eaters shoved bis way through the crowd. Standing taller than even bis giant brethren, the man seemed almost Ogryn-like in nature. His armour was caked in the blood of millennia. the thick dreadlocked pelt of some buge beast flowed from bis skull-like helmet and in bis left hand he held an axe of Khorne's own forges, a terrible Daemon-blade whose very appearance hurt the ees. The Marines name was Scyrak, lnown as the Slaughterer, Chosen of Koorne and Slayer of Armies. Once be bad bad. apotoer name Due tie soat Long Joraosien a aberact foeon discarded in favour of war. Scyrak the Slaughterer was bis name and function both. He bad butchered all who stood before bim in the name of his God for ten thousand years or more. Cities and planets bad been shattered and split beneath bis chain-axe, over a million men, women, children and aliens bad been crushed by bis thick fingers, their beads taken as a sacrifice to Kborne's glory. Khorne had been pleased with Scyrak's work and had granted him the ability to grow damaged flesh anew. On the plains of Brantoz, Scyrak alone survived a bail of lascannon and bolter fire that slew bis entire company of World Eaters. Again and again be was hit by the massed fire of Pheonix marines. Throe times he seemed dead and each time be stood up again, screaming bis hatred and triumph. On that black night, as the storms lashed the city with Scyrake had felled over thirty Space Marines and two Dreadnoughts in combat, their armour as putty beneath bis fury. On the Tower of Antbarzis, Scyrak bad duelled with Ongorth Murderbeart, another Kborne Berzerker and former lieutenant commander of the World Eaters. Ongorth bad fought side by side with Scyrak at the battle for the Imperial Palace at the end of the Horus Heresy, and the two bad once been great friends. That meant nothing to either man as they fought each other atop the tower. Although Ongorth was possessed of even greater skill than Scyrak in combat, Scyrak's ferocity and strength enabled him to break the older man's neck, wrenching bis bead clean off; and claim Ongorth's Daemon-axe for himself, Ongorth's corpse was hurled to the ground many miles below as Scyrak bellowed pratse to his master for bis victory. Murderbeart’s ‘skull decorates Scyrak's personal trophy rack even now. In an ancient labyrinth of caves beneath the city of Damarond, Seyrak earned from bis god a Collar of Kborne after destroying a cult which followed the bated Slaanesh. Scyrak the Slaughterer became a name of terror.

Their account of the battle told how Scyrak bad been seemingly incinerated when bis Rhino transport bad been destroyed. The Rhino bad rolled down a rocky outcrop, coming to rest on its side. Scyrak bad smashed bis way out of the floor panels, bis armour on fire. He bad fallen to the ground, apparently dead. When next the Imperial Guard defenders glanced towards the wreckage of the Rhino, Scyrak was a mere twenty metres from the bunker. He charged the plasteel door, smashing it apart in a few mighty blows. Laspistols could not slow the Kborne Derzerker, let alone kill him. The five survivors bad managed to Bao cio dan pa ce danc ec ad ‘forces and the shuttle was met by an Imperial Battlecruiser. For their own protection, is aetatars Dope neie ae ted Uaioe core alts Pagel Fhekov Wrath. Wrath was to pursue Scyrak across the universe and back, sworn to rid the Emperor of this cancerous enemy. The Slaughterer stood as the drop-pod crashed through the night air to the ground. Ancient retro-systems fired at the last moment, cushioning the impact slightly but the land was a bad ‘one and the pod rolled and bounced on the plascrete surfaces of the city. It smashed through a pair of smoked glass doors and into an urban commerce centre. Electricity arced around the {mterior of the drop-bod and smoke eusbed from panel as the occubants were drop-pod, flashing into steam. In the distance, klaxons wailed, urging citizens to take cover in appropriate shelters. An armoured Chimera sporting the insignia of the Adeptus Arbites moved through the shattered Tass entrance to the mall, grinding fragments into dust beneath its solid track links A door slid open on its side and a unit of black-armoured troopers barrelled out, deploying into a defensive position within a second. The multi-laser on the Chimera’s turret tracked towards the crippled drop-pod in its watery nest. Sparks fizzed pathetically from some torn cables on the side of the rune-covered pod. Another Arbites man emerged from the Chimera. His armour was more decorative than the ‘other troopers, and an Imperial Eagle perched ferociously on bis belmet. The Captain signalled to bis men to advance. Tentatively, the five men approached the pod. Water lapped over the ruined wall of the fountain, spreading around their boots, reflecting the red light of nearby shops. Footsteps sprinted towards the Arbites team. Shotguns were raised instinctively. A civilian rushed past them, blind with panic. The Arbites exchanged relieved glances. One of the grim figures almost smiled. The Captain hollered impatiently. One of the team raised a bio-scanner towards the pod. The green screen showed nothing. “Moshi ta tenor, Se No Bie-imes eae af i the man said. The Arbites Captain rubbed chin thoughtfully. He would bave liked to open the pod to make sure of that but others were oe The city was under attack and there was no time for investigations now. He sneered to bimself at the failure of the ancient technology. The Emperor bad obviously made the pod fall to the ground as a demonstration of his power over Chaos. Captain Karjok reached a decision "Set melta-charges around it. Ensure no Chaos scum get to use this again." The Arbites set to work swiftly. As they bent around the pod, attaching the magnetic charges, a small electronic note sounded from one of the trooper's waists. The man, Montgomery, glanced at bis belt. At that moment, the water from the fountain reached a condutt panel on the wall nearby. There was a loud bang and the lights in the immediate area went out, The scene was now lit by the garish red and white strobes of a nearby vendor's window display. The note sounded again, 92The Slaughterer of Kborne repeated itself. Again. It became a steady pulsing tune. The Arbiter raised up the dirge-singing bio-scanner, read the screen, looked at the pod. "Sir." be began. Karjok looked around as the drop pod blossomed open, bowling and creaking. Blasts of steam and smoke flew outwards from the pressurised chamber. A figure stood there, illuminated "Blood for the Blood God!" The Chaos Lord leapt, Daemon axe swinging down in a lethal arc that sliced an Arbiter cleanly in two across the chest from should to waist. Blood spraved and bones splintered. Karjok also yelled, ut his men. Shotguns flared in the abstract darkness. Bizarre dioramas reached out to seize Karjok's mind. The Chaos Marine thrusting a buge chain azz through Addamson's midriff. Hobkirk appearing to shoot tbe monster in the face. Inthe next, the traitor tearing Hobkirk's boad off with an almost casual backbander. Randall and Montgomery, one moment standing toe-to-toe with the Berzerker The next strobe seemed to show abborrent fascination, the Marine used Montgomery to club Lewis, as an Ogryn might use a ripper gun or lump of wood. The emergency lighting finally kicked in as the Marine fell upon the semi-conscious Lewis. The gore-strewn scene would bave made a lesser man wretch. Karjok was assailed by the stench of blood and the carbide from the shotgun blasts. He realised that the Berzerker bad actually been wounded during the combat. Even now, as be tore Lewls apart with bis hands, the man's bead seemed to be rapidly bealing. Scyrak realised that the last of the nearest men were dead. He reached around, grasping Morr Akbasb, the Daemon-axe. The bunger filled bim again. Through the red vision, Scyrak was aware that be bud been sbot again. He ignored the pain, looked around. Another loyalist martyr begged for sacrifice upon Khorne's altar of war. Scyrak was only vaguely aware of the squat shape of the Chimera bebind the Arbites Captain. His chain axe flared into life, oily smoke issuing from vents on the shaft, blood flicking from the teeth as they blurred around the edge of the bead. “Kborne! Kbooorrrnnnel” Karjok clicked the setting of bis plasma pistol up to maximum as the Berzerker charged at bim. For alll its size, the beretic could move incredibly fast. Suddenly, the Chimera's multi laser spewed into life, a barrage of ruby beams striking the gore-drenched chest of the maniac. Scyrak staggered under the deluge, = almost falling, The bullmounted beavy flamer vomited liquid fire, bathing the Chaos Marine with clearing rightrousness. Kajok addled bis ou volley of plasma to the attack. At long last, Scyrak fell, bis chest smashed open, skin blackened and crisp. Karjok breathed heavily in, This was some legendary Daemon from the warp. He must ensure its death. He drew bis power sword, comforted by the cold steel of the bandle. The Chaos Berzerker's skin bad paled again. His chest was closing. Karjok's eyes widened as he saw the man's giant hands twitch, close on the dark-bladed axe. He rushed forward, power sword beld bigh to cleave off the man's depilated, brutish bead. Scyrak thrust out the handle of bis daemon-weapon. The spearhead on the shaft punctured Karjok's carapace armour as though it were an eggshell, even as the power sword sliced into Seyrak’s chest. Scyrak lifted the agonised Captain bigh into the air on bis axe handle. Karjok's ears filled with the screams of the Daemon contained within. His belly was burning as be slipped slowly down the handle. Scyrak brought bis bead close to the speared man so that be could see the life leaving 93The Slaughterer of Kborne ‘im. Karjok cried out and was dead. Warm blood poured bis wound, down the handle and onto Scyrak, who proclaimed bis triumph to bis God once more. ‘The ruined shell of the Chimera gave one final hreath of fire as Scyrak walked out of the ruined glass doorway. The crew were dead, decapitated after Scyrak walked out of the ruined glass doorway The crew were dead, decapitated after Scyrak carved open the armour of the tank with bis Daemon-axe. He breathed deeply in, smelling the blood and death upon the wind As be raised his eyes skywards, holding the corpse of the Arbites Captain aloft in tribute, he saw the dozens of World Eaters assault pods dropping like bail upon the planet This city contained a great many victims with which the World Eaters could pay tribute to Kborne. They would all die. He tossed the corpse to one side. A squad of guardsmen from the planetary defence force rounded the corner of a nearby building. Some of them saw the terrible figure on the sieps of the ruined commorcial contre and fired. Hefting bis axes in either band, Scyrak the Slaughterer, Chosen of Kborne, prepared to pay tribute to bis master. "Blood for the Blood God!" SCYRAK THE SLAUGHTERER, CHOSEN OF KHORNE, SLAYER OF ARMIES WORLD EATERS KHORNE BERZERKER LORD 180pts + 80pts Wargear = 260pts Scyrak the Slaughterer has fought in a million battles on thousands of worlds. Wherever he appears carnage ensues, the wholesale genocide of planets and solar systems. No pile of skulls is ever tall enough to slake Scyrak’s thirst for death. His armies do not take prisoners. They are Khorne's warriors, and praise their murderous god on the battlefield Scyrak rose quickly through the ranks of the World Eaters by merit of his incredible savagery even before the Horus Heresy. He was only too willing to turn upon an Emperor whom he saw as weak and (oo compassionate in favour of Warmaster Horus. When the World Eaters turned to Chaos, it was Scyrak who killed their Chief Librarian, sacrificing him to Khorne’s honour. A great many men, women and children have fallen to the hands of Scyrak in the ensuing years. Not even his own followers are safe from his fury. He has been known to slaughter those of his troops who should turn away from the enemy. "Cowardice is fur victims. Death o cowards!" he once declared shortly before killing ten of his best warriors after they fled from combat with an Eldar Avatar. Scyrak is an unstoppable killing machine in combat. Armed with a variety of deadly close combat weapons he favours axes above all, and carries a Daemon blade he took from a former World Eaters Lieutenant Commander after slaying him in combat. Khorne has been greatly pleased with Scyrak’s tally of dead to date and has gifted him with the power to regenerate wounds and granted him a Collar of Khorne to protect him from accursed Psykers. Your Chaos Army may include Scyrak the Slaughterer, but only as its Commander. Scyrak does not take orders from others. He may not be chosen as an ally. fern a: 0 ‘Scyrak the Slaughterer 4810) 47) WEAPONS _Scyrak is armed with a Chainaxe, Chainsword, Bolt Pistol, Frag Grenades, and the Axe Morr’Akhash ARMOUR Chaos Armour (2+ save) WARGEAR — Collar of Khorne. 94The Slaughterer of Kborne MARK Scyrak’s armour save is increased by +1 to 2+ on 1D6. In addition, he is OF KHORNE subject to the rules of frenzy. Such is the skill of Scyrak that he may parry even when frenzied. He is an awesome warrior who revels in his role as a sacred destroyer ot Khorne. STRATEGY — Scyrak has two strategies: fight and kill. Because of this, if Scyrak is used as an army Commander, his strategy rating is 4 (rather than 5 for a typical Chaos Lord). SPECIAL RULES ‘CHAOS SPACE MARINE. The usual Chaos Space Marine rules for rapid fire apply. However, note that Scyrak has special rules concerning Break Tests. See below. BIG, TOUGH, MAD & FRIGHTENING. Scyrak is bigger and tougher than most Chaos Space Marines, due in part to the large amounts of scar tissue over his body and his regenerative abilities. Coupled with his blood-soaked insanity, this means he ignores pain that would fell lesser warriors. This gives him 41 Toughness, included on his profile. In addition he is immune to psychology and cannot be broken. He passes any Ld-based test. However, his lust to spill blood has eroded the stability of his mind somewhat. His BS is reduced to 4 Scyrak the Slaughterer must always move towards the enemy, and may not hide. Hiding is something that cowards and the weak do. Cover may not be used if it happens to be in the way of the Scyrak model. He is a Berzerker, and fears nothing! Scyrak's reputation and blood-soaked visage is sufficient to terrify most enemies. He causes Fear as described in the Psychology Section of the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook. FURIOUS CHARGE. Such is the ferocious enthusiasm of Scyrak the Slaughterer to get to grips with his foe that the may triple his move rate instead of only doubling it when he charges. He may only use this onus if it allows him to get into hand-to-hand combat that mn. He may not use it if he is unable to reach the enemy! PSYCHOLOGY. Subject to Frenzy and Hatred caused by The Axe Morr’Akbash. Otherwise immune to Psychology and cannot be broken. Scyrak’s insanity means he passes all Leadership Tests. In addition, he causes Fear. See above. LEADERSHIP. Any Chaos Space Marine within 12" of Scyrak may use his Leadership of 10 for the purposes of Leadership tests. However, any units within Scyrak’s line of sight that fail the test and break will immediately be charged by Scyrak if he is not in combat already. Scyrak will immediately fight a round of hand to hand combat in order to teach the cowards a lesson in Khorne's name. The opposing player controls Scyrak. The broken unit may not flee from hand to hand combat. Once they are down to less than 25% of their starting strength they are removed, as normal. Victory Points are awarded to the opposing player as normal. Any other Chaos troops who are broken and have line of sight to this event will automatically rally, for obvious reasons. After this, any broken Chaos unit will automatically rally if one model has line of sight to Scyrak. TACTICAL NOTE Although Scyrak is pretty damned lethal in combat, the fact he always has to move towards the enemy means you must be prepared to fight offensively (no, not calling your opponent names, I mean you have to actually get stuck in and fight, not hang around at the back shooting at things) Have plenty of close combat troops to back him up by getting rid of that Gretchin shield. There is nothing quite so irritating as having to spend three hundred points and an entire battle stuck in combat with a Gretchin mob, even if you do kill six a turn. Plus, the Runtherd might have that dreaded device; the Grabba Stick. This pretty much neutralises Scyrak’s awesome abilities. Your only chance is A: avoid it or B: it might miss. Be warned! Also, your cheaper combat troops will soak up some of that incoming fire because the Slaughterer is as much a target for your enemy as the average well-painted Dreadnought. They just can't resist it and he's not hard to kill with a lascannon, Think tactically, even if Scyrak doesn't. Use him in a Rhino or Land Raider or mount him on a bike to get him across that battlefield and into combat. But above all, Kill! Kill! Kill in the name of Khorne!

Remove the pin where Khdm's head attaches as well Again with the clippers, carefully remove the swords from the leg of the Khorne Rerzerker Champion 2 The best way to do this is to first clip the left from the body at the groin to just beneath the sword hilts, then end the leg out until it breaks off This should ensure that the hilts come cleanly off. If they are still on the body when the leg breaks, don't panic. You can remove them with a sharp knife for later. Kemove the Champion's upraised arm a¢ the elbow pad/shoulder pad joint, using a knife and ensuring you get all of the cable attached.

This T wu wld is rather eatravagant for you rmorial gamers. So I have decided to knock up another Space Wal? character nsing the Ragnar model. Namely that of his former boss Berek Taunderfst, The only thing that I think is absolutely neccesary to do is to get rid of what's left of Ragnar’s sword arm and glue a Power glove there instead. OF ‘course this will jus look like Ragnar with « power-fist. But after doing Kvslnir youl now be armed with your drill, so get chopping. ‘My suggestions aro to get rid of Ragnar’s head and left ‘shoulder pad for starters, as these are what identify the mods} as Ragnar. Trv replacing the head with a snazzy Space Marine helmet, the shoulder pad can be replaced with a plastic shoulder pad and a nice chunky plasma gun in his left hand ‘wouldnt go amiss. Another option is rouse a plastic powerfist and power sword/axe eic. This means you will have to put the ‘powerfiot on tho left hand. Ae you can cea my Berek “Thunderfist is made up of the remnanis of several figures that Ive dug out of the bottom of my bitz box.

What with unlimited access to Leman Russ kits and lots of cheap lead bits, I have succeeded in chopping up about 5 or 6 tanks. But in my defence I have made 5 or 6 tanks, they just aren’t the tanks which you were expecting, So some of the conversion may be a bit excessive from a money point of view, but I thought you may be interested in having a look at them and maybe help to spark a few ideas of your own. ‘One of my favourite parts of painting hobby for me is building, converting and painting Warhammer 40,000 tanks. ‘Tanks make great focal points for an army and are really effective in the game of Warhammer 40,000. In this short article [ will tell you something about where I get my ideas from and how T go about realising them. I won't go into too. much detail, as some of my methods are slightly ad-hoc and involve cutting a few comers. Also T have deliberately made ail the conversions eatontionately expensive iu the lope that after reading this you'll want to go and make your own conversions instead of making faithful reproductions of mine. Afterall, the reason for converting a model isto finish with a tunique miniature that no one else has. “So go and make yer ‘own and don't copy mine. grrr! 12 Why Convert? Converting your models is a great way of making a totally unique model for your aumy. Sy how do we get our unigue ‘model? Starting from scratch would be very difficult indeed and take great modelling skills. I know for fact that Ihave a great deal of trouble cutting a perfect circle out of a sheet of plastic. Let alone enough circles to construct something complicated like a turret ring. or the mechanism that allows the guns to g0 up and down, But of course we want the turets and {guns fo move on our conversion. So we take various bits from different models to build our own model. Some bits are chosen for their practical purpose. Whilst others are chosen for their aesthetic appeal. For example with the fully armoured ‘Razorback, I used the turret and the Imperlal Eagie front plate because they looked good and helped me achieve the fee! that I ‘wanted 10 capture. But I kept the rear of the Leman Russ hattleeannon, as it had the mechanism that gave the turret guns heir vertival uaverse, The main thing to remember is just about anything goes. It doesn’t have to look sleak and streamlined (unless your doing Eldar tanks), remember tanks should look mean and nasty, the Uglier the better’ I say. by dhe way, sticking toad of lascamnious un duess'¢ Cou You'll probably have noticed by now that all my tanks are based on the Rhino, With the Leman Russ accessory sprue the possibilities for converting and enhancing the Rhino are endless. So why is the Rhino such a great vehicle for converting? To answer this question we need only look at modern day armoured vehicles. Of all the types of armoured Vehicle the APC has always proved the most adaptable, Modern armed forces have adapted theit APC to fulfil variety and this holds true for the Rhino APC in Warlumner 40,000, the addition of racks of missiles turn the APC into a ‘mobile anilliery piece - the Whirlwind, The addition of turret mounted weapons to turn the APC into a battle tank - the Razorback and the Predator. These are but a few examples drat, already heen aclapted far hoth Warhammer 40,008) and PIC games system. If you look through books and Jopedias on tanks and armoured vehicles you'll find APCs that have been adapted for all manner of purposes including Armoured Recovery Vehicles. minefield layers, and. anti-aircraft support weapons.
