Huge rules leaks for the upcoming AoS Slaves to Darkness Battletome are here with Artifacts, Spells, Command Traits, Warscrolls, and more!
We’ve seen some pretty big leaks already, but it’s always good to get more, especially with so much included! This covers so much of what the army can do. So great to see!
Obviously, these are leaks, but with how close the book is to release, there shouldn’t be too many changes; but remember, nothing is set in stone or confirmed until Games Workshop sends the book out!
More Massive AoS Chaos Slaves to Darkness Battletome Rules Leaks
The second round of new Chaos Slaves to Darkness Battletome rules leaks come from here on Reddit; let’s check them out!
All four of the Grand Strategies are quite achievable, and the Battle tactics are also pretty doable. However, some might be hard for certain armies, as some will barely have three heroes or three units to charge!
Nothing too crazy here, as it’s close to what we expected.
Rolling two dice on the Eye of the Gods table is awesome, but so is adding 1 to your wound rolls, or getting a 4+ ward save from shooting!
All 5 of these are decent and pretty flavorful to each god.
It’s always good to see this table around; just be sure not to roll those double 1’s for your heroes, or they will still turn into a spawn.
Last week we saw what the different legions did, and you can check those out here.
Death Dealer is just cool because of the classic Frank Frazetta art, and not to mention you get to fight again…
Striking first is always nice, but so is getting buffs against another character!
They have some pretty sweet spells!
New Warscrolls
With five wounds, tons of special rules, and just everything you need! These guys are still quite strong, and we expect to see them around for a while.
The Gorbeast Chariot is a fun model, and it has plenty of attacks and can ride over units and cause a bunch of wounds!
The daemonic mount can put out some okay damage, but a lord with 10″ movement is always a scary prospect!
This isn’t quite as beefy as the Gorbeast Chariot, but is much faster and still a fun addition.
Last but not least is the Chaos Sorceror Lord on Manticore, and there’s not much cooler than a Sorceror on a Manticore!
With so many leaks and confirmed minis by GW, we hope the battletome stays on track for a December/Winter release!
