Champions of the Ruinous Powers

Not an army list — a narrative/campaign-only system (random and swingy by design) for crafting a unique Champion of Chaos. A Champion of Ruin (Warriors of Chaos) or Chieftain of Ruin (Beastmen Brayherds) rolls 3 times on the Chaos Rewards table below, plus any additional purchased rolls, and may be chosen as your General regardless of Leadership.

Chaos Rewards Table (2D6)

// p.35 — roll once per reward, in view of your opponent; re-roll the whole 2D6 if a non-stacking result comes up twice

2 Curse of Ambition: gains Stupidity, or -1 Leadership (min 2) when testing it if already Stupid.

3 Flare of Anger: gains Impetuous, or -1 Leadership (min 2) when testing it if already Impetuous.

4 Deadly Precision: this model's weapons (not its mount's) improve their Armour Piercing by D3 in the Combat phase. Re-roll if duplicated.

5 Grisly Fortitude: +1 Wound.

6 Dark Executioner: +1 Weapon Skill (max 10).

7 Daemonic Swiftness: +1 Initiative (max 10).
