Daemon Prince Characters
”With a might shout he rose, brighter than the sun and more fierce. In his hand he
held a rod of twisted bone, crossed and recrossed to form the sign of his dark lord, a
symbol of his power and fruit of mortal longings well-fulfilled.”
“He rose above the company, taller far than they, and looked with black pride on these
his affrighted slaces. He snarled and heard the sound of his noble hatred echoing from
the skies. He stared the savage stare of immortal fury and death was in his gaze.”
“And on that blasted heath his ashen servats turned, gripped by cold, unthinking terror,
and fled from his presence. Thus on the blasted heath the Daemon Prince Doombreed
was born. And he roared...”
Although there are untold billions that worhsip the Chaos gods, there are far fewer that
dedicate their lives to them totally. For the majority of followers, the Chaos Gods offer
the things that are not easily attained. Such followers use the Chaos Gods to attain power
in the material universe, and are used by the Chaos Gods in return. For some, however,
the allure of Chaos is far stronger. These followers have a deep, fervent belief in the
Chaos Gods, and their commitment is total: body and soul belong to Chaos.
Those who dedicate themselves to the service of Chaos in this way are doomed to an
all-or-nothing existence in the service of one Dark Power or another. The reward for
those that please their God is ultimate power, for those that fail it is endless oblivion. To
achieve greatness in the eyes of their Chaos God they will carry out any act, no matter
how vile. Eventually a lucky few are rewarded by achieving the status of daemonhood.
They can pass beyond mortal concerns, rising to the highest level of power as one of the
immortal Daemon Princes who serve the Dark Gods of Chaos.
Note that these four special daemon princes are special characters and may only be used
with the consent of your opponent. They are the most powerful of the known Daemon
Princes, and hence all the rules that apply to normal Daemon Princes apply to these great
daemons. They may be chosen from the HQ section of the force organization charts and
have the following special rules: Fearless, Monstrous Creature, Fearsome, Invulnerable,
Independent Character, and There Can Be Only One.
Doombreed, Daemon Prince of Khorne
Khorne was the first of the Chaos Gods to awaken fully, and Doombreed was one of the
first of his servants. His true name has long been forgotten, but he was once human, a
mighty Warlord who led armies which ravaged entire nations on Earth long, long ago.
His acts of genocide and murder pleased the young god Khorne, who rewarded him and
made him one of his first Daemon Princes.
Since then Doombreed has continued to serve Khorne well. He fought for his master at
the side of Hours during the Heresy, and was aboard the Warmaster’s battle barge when
Horus was slain and the Emperor mortally wounded. Over the millennia he has returned
to plague humanity countless times.

| Doombreed | 175 | 8 | 0 | 6 | 6 | 4 | 6 | 4 | 10 | 2+ |
Special Rules
Hates Slaanesh: Doombreed hates any Slaaneshi daemons, and creatures that
bear the Mark of Slaanesh. Any army which includes Doombreed may not include any
daemons of Slaanesh, nor any characters of units with the Mark of Slaanesh.
Lord of Khorne: If you want to include Doombreed in your Chaos force, you
must also take a unit of Khornate daemons in the same army.
Axe and Rod of Khorne: In his right hand Doombreed carries a mighty Axe of
Khorne, suffused with chaotic energy and laden with death. In close combat any to hit
rolls of 6 allow Doombreed to make an additional attack. As long as you keep rolling 6s
you can keep on making additional attacks. These additional attacks may be allocated
against new opponents if desired. In his left hand Doombreed carries the Rod of Khorne,
a huge staff made of twisted bone that bears the Mark of Khorne at its head. The Rod of
Khorne counts as a second close combat weapon and lets Doombreed make an extra
attack.
Chaos Armor: Doombreed wears brazen armor which bears the Mark of
Khorne. This armor is a living part of the Daemon Prince, and it is sustained by its own
unquenchable inner energies. It gives Doombreed a saving throw of 2+ instead of a 5+
invulnerable save from a daemonic aura.
Collar of Khorne: The Collar of Khorne that hangs around Doombreed’s neck is
said to be forged from the heat of Khorne’s rage at the very foot of the Blood God’s
throne of brass. The power of the collar is to suck the energy of the warp from around it,
fortifying the wearer and protecting it from psychic attack. As a result, force weapons
lose their special ability to kill the wearer outright, and psychic powers that target the
wearer or include him in their area of effect are nullified and will not work.
Fly: Doombreed has wings and is able to fly over the battlefield in great leaps
and bounds. This means he can move exactly as if he was equiped with a jump pack.
N’kari, Daemon Prince of Slaanesh
N’Kari was born on an isolated, backward world which has been trapped in the center of
a violent warp storm for millennia. The Chaos Powers have repeatedly attempted to
conquer this planet, but have so far been foiled by the uncorrupted peoples of the world.
N’Kari rose to prominence during one of the Chaos Powers’ many attempts to conquer
the planet. He proved himself a dedicated follower of Slaanesh in countless battles-and
the debauched and disgusting revelries that followed them-and was rewarded by Slaanesh
with the gift of Daemonhood. Along with Doombreed he was one of the two Daemon
Princes that fought against the Emperor when he boarded Horus’s battle barge, and he
continues to serve his daemonic master to this day.

Special Rules
Hates Khorne: N’Kari hates any Khornate daemons, and creatures that bear the
Mark of Khorne. Any army which includes N’Kari may not include any daemons of
Khorne, nor any characters of units with the Mark of Khorne.
Lord of Slaanesh: If you want to include N’Kari in your Chaos force, you must
also take a unit of Slaaneshi daemons in the same army.
Rod of Command: The Rod of Command is a stout wand of bone, elaborately
carved with scenes of debauchery. The bone was taken by N’Kari from the body of a
Bloodthirster he had defeated in single combat. Any units withing 12” may use N’Kari’s
Leadership of 10 for any morale checks.
Aura of Slaanesh: In hand-to-hand combat, N’Kari may force one enemy model
to take a morale check on 3D6 to be able to strike in the assault phase. If they fail the
test, then that model may not attack in that combat phase. Once a model has passed the
test once, it cannot be forced to take it again.
Psychic Power-Fleshy Curse: N’Kari may attempt to use the Fleshy Curse
psychic power exactly as described in the Chaos Sorcerer’s description of Codex: Chaos
Space Marines.
Doom Bolt: In the shooting phase, N’Kari may throw a Doom Bolt. The Doom
Bolt strikes has the following profile:
| Range | Strength | AP | Type |
|---|
| 18” | 5 | 5 | Assault 3 |
Foulspawn, Daemon Prince of Nurgle
Foulspawn was one of the most diseased and digusting of all Nurgle’s Champions. It was
said that the sight of him was so horrifying that hardened warriors who say him were
rendered incapable of any action while they gagged and wretched in disgust. Nurgle was
deeply fond of his unsightly Champion, and eventually blessed him with the reward of
Spawndom. Most Chaos Spawn die within minutes or hours of their transformation,
either being killed in battle or expiring as their impossibly mutated bodies give out under
the strain. Such was not the fate of Foulspwan, however. He not only survived, he grew
and prospered. By some strange quirk of fate (or equally strange whim of Nurgle)
Foulspawn was able to survive by ingesting and absorbing the fleshy tissues and bodily
fluids of living creatures, which he achieves by grabbing his victim with his sticky,
toad-like tongue, and them swallowing the still living creature whole!

Special Rules
Hates Tzeentch: Foulspawn hates any Tzeentch daemons, and creatures that
bear the Mark of Tzeentch. Any army which includes Foulspawn may not include any
daemons of Tzeentch, nor any characters of units with the Mark of Tzeentch.
Lord of Nurgle: If you want to include Foulspawn in your Chaos force, you
must also take a unit of Nurgle daemons in the same army.
Terror: Foulspawn exudes sheer horror, his very existence is a threat to the
sanity of the most strong willed of mortals. Any successful morale checks caused by
Foulspawn must be rerolled second time. If the second roll is also successful, then the
unit is fine.
Spawn: Foulspawn is a chaos spawn, and therefore must follow some special
rules. Foulspawn moves 2D6” in the movement phase instead of the standard 6”. If a
double is rolled when rolling for his movement, then Foulspawn suffers half the double
number rounding down (i.e. If a double 2 was rolled, then Foulspawn suffers 1 wound. If
he rolled a double 5, then Foulspawn will suffer 2 wounds.). As Foulspawn has gained
more control over his horribly mutated body he won’t attack friendly models, but enemy
models may attack him in assaults as well (only 2nd edition players will note this
change).
Psychic Power-Stream of Corruption: Foulspawn may attempt to use the Stream
of Corruption psychic power exactly as described in the Chaos Sorcerer’s description of
Codex: Chaos Space Marines.
Cloud of Flies: A huge cloud of flies surrounds Foulspawn at all times. All
enemy models within 6” of Foulspawn suffer a -1 modifier to their weapon skill and
ballistic skill.
M’Kachan, Daemon Prince of Tzeentch
M’Kachan is amongst the most cunning and devious of all Tzeentch’s followers. Unlike
the other Daemon Princes described above he was never a mortal creature. M’Kachan is
a Lord of Change, one of the incredibly powerful creatures of Chaos, created from pure
warp energy by the Chaos God Tzeencth to do his bidding.
Although most Greater Daemons have broadly similar powers, they are by no means
identical, just as no two living creatures are ever exactly the same. M’Kachan, for
example, disdains physical combat and relies on his formidable psychic powers and
mastery of illusion and trickery to defeat his foes to an extent unparralleled by any other
Lord of Change. He particularly relishes matching his intellect against those of a worthy
foe, and has even been known to spare such opponents in order to allow himself the
pleasure of matching wits against them again at some time in the future.

W | I | A | Ld | Sv |

| M’Kachan | 162 | 6 | 5 | 6 | 6 | 4 | 7 | 3 | 10 | 5+ |
Special Rules
Hates Nurgle: Foulspawn hates any Nurgle daemons, and creatures that bear the
Mark of Nurgle. Any army which includes Foulspawn may not include any daemons of
Nurgle, nor any characters of units with the Mark of Nurgle.
Lord of Tzeentch: If you want to include Foulspawn in your Chaos force, you
must also take a unit of Tzeentch daemons in the same army.
Tzeentch’s Blessing: M’Kachan is a master of the arts of magic and is the
foremost practitioner of these arts among his fellow Lords of Change. Any time an
opposing psyker attempts to cast a psychic power M’Kachan can nullify it on a 5+.
M’Kachan may also reroll failed psychic tests.
Psychic Power-Flame of Tzeentch: M’Kachan may attempt to use the Flame of
Tzeentch psychic power exactly as described in the Chaos Sorcerer’s description of
Codex: Chaos Space Marines.
Master of Illusion: M’Kachan has the ability to create an illusion by which he
can appear to be any living creature which he desires. If he uses this ability he is not set
up at the start of the battle. Instead, the Chaos player may choose any model in his army
to by M’Kachan in disguise. Write down the model that has been selected. This model
functions exactly as it would normally until it suffers a wound, or M’Kachan chooses to
reveal himself. As soon as either of these things happen remove the model and replace it
with M’Kachan’s model. Any damage suffered by M’Kachan while he was disguised
still applies. Note that until he is revealed M’Kachan is treated in every way as being the
model he is disguised as.
Incredible Cunning: M’Kachan is incredibly cunning. You may roll 2D6 and
pick the highest when rolling to decide who gets the first turn. The enemy will also
always have to set up the first model in scenarios where opponents take turns placing one
unit at a time.
