With a mere flap of its wings, the Great Moon Bird can produce a nasty AoE to chip away at anyone unfortunate enough to be caught in the vortex, and may serve as a mount for the Astromancer to mix up their playstyle even more, raining fiery death from above. In a first for Grand Cathay, the Great Moon Bird is a magical flying monster with both fire and magic on its side. Plus, he can mount a trusty Warhors e, letting Grand Cathay rest assured that he’ll always be exactly where he’s needed. He excels at maintaining a defensive line, buffing nearby allied troops and sniping enemy combatants from afar, and still being able to hold his own when the conflict becomes more up close and personal. The Gate Master is both a superb defensive addition to the Cathayan roster, and a hybrid fighter with a sword, shield and crossbow. Note: There are some further art changes we’ll bring to Saytang in a future update, which will see us replace some of his current VFX with something slightly closer to the lore. Not content at just being potent from a distance, Saytang can also cause problems once they’ve made it up close, able to take plenty of damage while buffing nearby Constructs, and leap to-and-fro thanks to their mighty wings. Saytang, towering above many units on the field, wields a magical bow capable of launching artillery-grade projectiles into the enemy’s defences. Legendary Heroes are often larger than life, but rarely has it been so literal. Although they can’t take as much punishment as the Flamers that came before them, the Changebringers can unleash devastation quicker than most with their increased Charge Bonus, cranking the heat up to eleven. Soaring through the air on their Discs of Tzeentch, these abominations launch armour-piercing flame attacks from above, disregarding any and all obstacles those pesky ground-users have to contend with. With the Changebringers, agility is the name of the game. CHANGEBRINGERSįlame-spewing daemons work great on the ground, but what if you wanted to take to the skies as well? Wielding Great Axes embedded with the magic of Tzeentch, these fast and hard-hitting units bring their Primal Fury and rowdiness to the frontlines, able to push ahead with Vanguard deployment, synergise with other Tzeentchian spellcasters thanks to their Arcane Charge, and take down Daemons with ease.
This unholy combination of Chaos and Beastmen delivers the best of both worlds. Able to scorch his foes with magical attacks, cut down Trolls with a swing of his blade, and sustain himself in battle long after those he faces are tuckered out, this frightful schemer is always on the path to greater glory, ready to exploit any weakness he can to get it. This magical melee brute with high weapon strength and a shiny Halberd is a specialist in all things mighty. When two heads still isn’t cutting it, the Exalted Hero of Tzeentch opts for a bit extra. With Change or Die! at his disposal, the Chaos Lord can improve the Leadership and Damage Resistance of nearby allied troops, while also recharging their magical barriers with the Paragon of Change. Hauling hefty Chaos armour and a Halberd into battle, the Chaos Lord of Tzeentch isn’t just able to dish out heaps of damage to large units, but take a fair beating himself without breaking a sweat, assuming those that oppose him are even able to smash through his intrinsic magical barrier. Marked by Tzeentch, the Changer of Ways’ latest Chaos Lord is built for war.
