One moment you are safe and the next moment a daemonic anteater is licking you inappropriately!

Hello everyone! Zak Ludick here from Cape Town, South Africa and this is a Warhammer 40k - Datasheet Review post!

What is it all about? It is not there to just give a stat. It is there to give MY review of the unit in the game of Warhammer 40,000

The last of the Indexes! A new challenge!

Right, I am finally ahead and by my best estimations as I explained in this Post, I should be able to keep ahead of the release curve and get the remainder of the Indexes reviewed before those Codex releases.

So I embark on a new challenge. I have calculated that there are roughly 148 reviews to do. I have chosen my frequency and have given myself 96 days to review them all.

I took a long pause... because I got sick... and then got sick with a second virus... and now just recovering from a third infection which was bacterial... this is what happens when you have three kids in three schools! You get ALL the bugs!

So I count TODAY as the next day in the challenge! But I am running out of time too... and I desperately need to rebuild my HP and make more HBD... so I might post like I beast! Hopefully I can!

Today is Day 32/96.
I have reviewed 50/148.

Time elapsed: 33.33%
Review Completion: 33.78%
Basically on par!

Hobby Fund - Working myself into the clear

With my hobby posts, I generate a hobby fund. 50% of the income goes into the fund. At the moment I put all my HBD earned from Warhammer posts into my alt account @zakl.hobbyfund.

I am collecting funds in the following ways:

  • Blogging about Warhammer to earn HBD
  • Accepting donations - Can be sent directly to @zakl.hobbyfund in HBD
  • Selling some of the collection to friends.

At the current count I am paying off some hobby debts. I still have $226 to pay off!

Every bit counts!

Back to the review!

Chaos Daemons, Seekers

10th Edition Index

I can see where this is going... this is Daemonettes of Slaanesh on a steed. Thus, they will be fast, hit like a razorblade cutting your organs out... but melt in a breeze and moonlight... let's see...

They are 80pts for 5 and 160pts for 10 of them in a unit.

Stats

Movement 14"
Toughness 4
Save 7+/5++(armor/invul/Feel No Pain)
Wounds 2
Ld 7+
OC 1

Weapons

Standard Wargear: Lashing Tongue; Slashing Claws.

Options: 1 model may be equipped with an Instrument of Chaos.
1 other model may be equipped with a Daemonic Icon

Ranged Weapons

None

Melee Weapons

Slashing Claws.

3 Attacks, Hitting on 3+, S4, AP-1 and 1 Damage each.
Devastating Wounds (Rolls of 6 to Wound cause Mortal Wounds)

Lashing Tongue

2 Attacks, Hitting on 4+, S4, AP0 and 1 Damage each.
Lethal Hits (On a roll of 6 to Hit, automatically cause Wounds)
Extra Attacks (These attacks can be alongside other attacks)

Abilities

Deep Strike - If this unit arrives on the Battlefield from Reserves, it can be set up anywhere on the battlefield more than 9" from enemy models.
Scouts 9" - This unit can be moved 9" before the first turn is taken BUT after the roll for 1st turn has been rolled.

Unholy Speed

This unit can re-roll the Advance or Charge rolls!

Wargear Abilities

Instrument of Chaos

+1 to Charge rolls made by this unit.

Daemonic Icon

The unit has a Leadership of 6+

Thoughts

They are pretty much exactly as I expected. With the amount of attacks that they are bringing and being rather cheap per model, this unit is something that will create a large looking presance on the board.

They cannot be ignored, but I feel that dependant on your army, they if they can be reduced to around 4 models, that their ability to move a unit of Space Marines becomes limited.

A unit of 10 of these things on the charge statistically takes out 9 Space Marines!

10 Space Marines firing 20 Bolters will kill 4-5 Seekers so as I said... not very durable.

That makes 37 Chaos Daemon Datasheets Reviewed, putting them on 74
% Completed! The total of the remaining Index reviews is now 96.

Thank you for reading!
