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.
Today is Day 36/96.
I have reviewed 55/148.
Time elapsed: 37.5%
Review Completion: 37.16%
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, Skullmaster
10th Edition Index
A Skullmaster is a Juggernaught hero that can lead squad of Bloodcrushers of Khorne and thereby add more punch to the unit and giving it some sort of buff...
More than that I cannot really say. They are likely some sort of exhalted Bloodletter.
Stats
Movement 10"
Toughness 7
Save 3+/4++(armor/invul/Feel No Pain)
Wounds 6
Ld 7+
OC 2
Weapons
Weapon Loadout: Blade of Blood, Juggernaught's Bladed Horn.
Ranged Weapons
None
Melee Weapons
Blade of Blood
5 Attacks, Hitting on 2+, S6, AP-2 and 3 Damage each.
Juggernaught's Bladed Horn
4 Attacks, Hitting on 4+, S6, AP-1 and 1 Damage each.
Extra Attacks (These attacks can be made in addition to to regular 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.
Devastating Charge
After this model's unit ends a charge, each enemy unit must take a Battle-shock test.
Skullmaster's Fury
While leading a unit, when that unit has made a Charge move, until the end of that turn, Juggernaut's Bladed Horns in the unit have the Devastating Wounds ability (rolls of 6 to Wound score Mortal Wounds).
Thoughts
Pretty much like I thought. Some mortals, some morale busting.
This model himself hits pretty hard with Damage 3 attacks.
That makes 42 Chaos Daemon Datasheets Reviewed, putting them on 84
% Completed! The total of the remaining Index reviews is now 91.
