More teasers of the upcoming Daughters of Khaine release are here. Come check out the latest rules for the serpentine Melusai in Age of Sigmar.
The new Daughters of Khaine battletome is on its way, and this week Games Workshop is giving us previews of what we’ll be seeing inside the covers. Let’s take a look at what they had to say about the Melusai and some of their new rules.
Blood Sisters are an elite, fast-moving unit, possessing both a strong normal attack profile and the ability to dole out mortal wounds with ease. Each model in a unit of Blood Sisters can make a Crystal Touch attack as well as striking with its heartshard glaive – if the former hits, it’ll deal a mortal wound to the foe. You’ll want to use these warriors to deal with your enemy’s heavily armoured units while your Sisters of Slaughter deal with the rest of their infantry.
Turned to Crystal is going to really pile on damage against your target. Each time you score a hit with Crystal Touch the target will suffer 1 mortal wound, this is making the Blood Sisters look like an almost must have for all Daughters of Khaine lists.
The Blood Stalkers, on the other hand, provide an invaluable source of ranged support to the Daughters of Khaine – after all, charging the enemy head-on is one thing, but previously, the army would struggle against foes that protected their more fragile support units, like Wizards and War Machine crews, safely behind their lines. Few are safe from the Blood Stalkers, each bearing a deadly heartseeker bow. While this makes for a powerful weapon in its own right, the Heartseekers ability is where it really shines, providing you with a source of mortal wounds at range.
Every Blood Stalker is coming equipped with a heartseeker bow which comes with the Heartseekers ability. This is going to inflict a mortal wound, instead of the normal damage, for every hit roll of 6+ this unit makes in the shooting phase. Moral of the story here… Just roll 6’s.
All in all this preview is making the Daughters of Khaine look extremely intimidating on the tabletop, and these Melusai look to have some cool rules to go with their even cooler looking models.
Make sure you check back in with us tomorrow when we get an in-depth preview of the winged harpies with a thirst for blood and a knack for cruelty, the Khinerai.
