GW just revealed the new Warhammer 40k rules for Vashtorr the Arkifane and an Army of Renown; check out what this Chaos Daemon can do!
GW promised rules, and they are here! We’ve also seen the Azrael rules, which you can check out here. Having free rules is always awesome, and hopefully going into 10th edition GW keeps giving out free rules for paywall items such as this!
If you want to pick up the new miniature initially, the box set is hitting pre-order on 3/11. However, we’re really not sure how long it will take for the model to come out on its own.
Let’s take a look at all the latest on the new Vashtorr and dive into the previous rumors in an attempt to divine more about the upcoming Space Marine releases…
GW Reveals 40k Vashtorr Rules, Army of Renown, & Datasheet!
Here are the latest rules from Games Workshop.
With 14 wounds, 7 Strength, 7 attacks, 7 Toughness, and he takes one less damage from every attack he should be quite imposing on the tabletop! He also really buffs up your own vehicles, which makes sense!
The Soul Forge King hits with a force that befits his status as an unaligned demigod of (ordered) Chaos. With a native 7 Strength and 7 Attacks, he can hand out some serious hurt with his hammer. In particular, it can pummel enemy vehicles into literal dust…
With this buffing his Strength up to 14 and D3, he will dish out all kinds of damage. Against vehicles though, any 5+ just does 4 mortal wounds!
His special rules, meanwhile, let him cripple enemy units from afar, invading and confounding their tech and riling the machine spirits of vehicles that dare stand in his way.
Halving the range of weapons is nice, considering it always goes off. Then, halving moves and attacks is also just wild, especially against something like a melee-focused vehicle!
Now, let’s check out the Regiment of Renown!

The restrictions really aren’t that bad, as you just can’t have named CSM marines, but you also lose all ability to get legion-specific special rules. Then, it buffs up all your Daemon Engines and gives you some decent special rules, and exciting stratagems.
The relics are also cool as they all really buff up your Deamon Engines!
Foul Alterations stratagem can allow a Greater Brass Scorpion to advance, shoot, and charge in the same turn – a potent mix for such a powerful beast!
This is really great for 1 CP and can just let you cover all kinds of ground and then charge!
Forge Surge is great for 1 CP as it just gives you full shots of everything. Then, Master’s Guidance gives you a ton of rerolls Cakospark Prattle is just a really effective stratagem for only 1 CP.
