The Bane of Commorragh

After being defeated by Lelith Hesperax in the Crucibael, the Aeldari known as Yvraine
passes through the veil of death only to be reborn as the Emissary of
Ynnead, the God of the Dead. Her violent apotheosis sees the alien combatants of the
arena unleashed upon the spectators. In the ensuing anarchy, Asdrubael Vect recedes
into the shadows.

The Gate Opens

Yvraine’s possession by the macabre god Ynnead shakes the very fabric of the Dark City.
Psychic energy bleeds uncontrollably from her, leading to a hyperspatial quake. Millions
die in the first shock wave alone, and as the ripples continue, Khaine’s Gate – which had
held fast for millennia – is
torn violently open. For months daemonic entities surge through the breach,
ravenously devouring Drukhari souls as they press forward. Despite desperate
attempts by Commorragh’s nobles to stem the tide of Daemons, Asdrubael Vect is
mysteriously absent. Only when the warriors and slave armies of the Dark City are
stretched to breaking point against the invasion does the Supreme Overlord finally play
his hand. Vect calls upon the Incubi, citing pacts and debts of old, and the bodyguards of
every Archon present in
Commorragh are recalled from their duty in order to fight the Daemons. In battle after
harrowing battle, the Incubi – along with myriad other warriors – corral the Daemons
into the sub-realm containing the gaping hole that was Khaine’s Gate. this sub-realm is
then severed from the rest of Commorragh, plunged into a nether-abyss which comes to
be known as the Chasm of Woe. But the Daemons keep coming, rising from the massive
abscess
created within Commorragh. More of the Dark City’s sub-dimensions are plunged into
the Chasm, and armies of warriors and slaves with them, in an attempt to keep the
Chaos entities from reaching the heart of
Commorragh once more.

M41 THE AGE OF THE LIVING MUSE

The Feast Awaiting
The Chaos incursion that savaged the Dark City is also felt throughout the galaxy as the
Great Rift yawns open. A bow-wave ripples throughout realspace and the webway,
shattering countless portals and gates that lead to and from Commorragh. Whole
sections of the labyrinth dimension become
dislocated, and through the fractures in the interstitial plane more Daemons come
pouring inward. Meanwhile, the Imperium of Man is bisected by the warp-maw and one
half – the Imperium Nihilus – is plunged into shadow, their ability to travel and
communicate b etween systems all but lost. Each world stands isolated in the darkness
as the servants of the Chaos Gods begin their campaigns of slaughter. The watchers in
Commorragh see these worlds that are ripe for plunder, but must frst contend with the
cataclysms in the webway and the Dark City. Those raids that are launched in the
Imperium Nihilus, while brutal, are but a fraction of the Drukhari’s terrifying potential.

The death of Vect

Beside all the ravage Comorragh suffered , the assasinations and the cold fight between
all the Drukhariis nobles become as common as the Demons in the sub-city . But
suddenly , the impossible happen , Asdrubael Vect , the Archtyran of the Dark city of
Commorragh is killed by a pack of Mandrakes . Worse every fragement obtain by the
Haemonculis for ressurecting him seem destroyed ....
A great ceremony finally occur , with the entire Wych cult of the Cursed blade , the
harlequins of the Veiled Path and the Warriors of Vect .
After a great ceremony led by all the great Archon of Commorragh , the audience is
suddenly drowing in the hallucynogenic powers of the Harlequins . The Wych and the
Harlequins start charging Certains Archon in particular and Asdrubael Vect arriving
inside is coffin in a new life , is eye full of anger and claim the death of all that not
following him . He finally become a living Dark Muse and prepare to rule Commorragh
again ....

The Price of Beauty

An enormous raid on hive world Vorgan in the Imperium Nihilus returns to
Commorragh with hundreds of thousands of captives. Whilst poring over the stillliving
specimens, Haemonculi of the Hex identify the slave population as being host to a
Genestealer Cult. Hybrids are singled out and pumped full of growth accelerators,
causing dormant mutations to blossom in their flesh. Once word spreads, a trend arises
whereby the alien growths are harvested and grafted onto the bodies of high-paying
Drukhari elites. The Vorgani, as these beautified individuals come to be known, form
tight-knit cliques within High Commorragh in which they revel in their augmentations.
Furthermore,
they develop a collective obsession with Lethidia – the Tyranid-infested planet that had
been drawn into the webway and still orbits the Dark City.

 SY
NDRIQ’S SUMP…10 POINTS
Viscount Syndriq was a toweringly arrogant fiend whose thirst for vengeance was his undoing.
Since suffering not one but two violent deaths at the hands of the Raven Guard, Syndriq has not
been regenerated, but instead has experienced new life as a fashionable augmentation for his
peers. When threatened, a Haemonculus wearing Syndriq’s Sump can rely on the finest of
augmentative potions being dumped into his bloodstream, for the fleshy remnant will do anything
it can to preserve its miserable existence in the hope it can one day be regrown.

At the beginning of each of his turns, the controlling player nominates one of the following
effects to apply to the bearer of Syndriq’s Sump:

1-+1 to the thoughness

2-+1 attack
3-+1 for hit

THE ORBS OF DESPAIR…25 POINTS

As black and pitted as the souls of those who wield them, the Orbs of Despair are fist-sized
spheres of wraithbone carved with runes of hopelessness. Each is left on a plinth in the owning
Coven’s deepest dungeon to soak up a measure of the boundless negative energy that pools there,
sometimes for millennia. The Haemonculi only take up these artefacts once they are replete with
the black energies swilling through their lairs. When hurled to the ground, the Orbs of Despair
send out all the pain they have absorbed in a blast of pure trauma that can still the heart of any
sentient organism in a single agonising moment.

When a model armed with the Orbs of Despair makes a shooting attack, the controlling player
can choose to throw a grenade with the following profile, rather than using another shooting
weapon. The Orbs of Despair cannot be used in close combat :

Type Range S AP D Rules

 Assault d6 8" 3 -3 1 Superb Agony

Superb Agony : When this weapons Wound a target on a 6+ , add 1 mortal wounds in addition
to the damage .

THE KHAÏDESI HAEMOVORES…10 POINTS

The cartilaginous worm-things that writhe beneath the most fastidious Haemonculi are repulsive
to look upon, though they play a valued role in the culture of the Covens. Haemovores feed on
the messy by-products of the Coven’s craft, guzzling down morsels of forgotten flesh and sucking
up
blood wherever it is spilt until not so much as a stain is left. The Khaïdesi Haemovores, grown
strong on the vile tides of the River Khaïdes, are the largest of their kind. They dart out from
beneath their master to drain blood and devour flesh whenever it comes too close, allowing him
to remain fashionably spotless.

A model equipped with the Khaïdesi Haemovores makes D6 additional Attacks and are resolved
at Strength 3 with AP- and Damage 1. These Attacks does not benefit from any of the model’s
special rules or abilities .
In addition , this model can make a Pile in move of 6" instead of 3" .

THE PANACEA PERVERTED…20 POINTS

The Panacea Perverted is a triumph of dark alchemy. The Panacea – an ancient STC that healed
human diseases and genetic flaws – was stolen from the world of Verdigris IX by Lady Aurelia
Malys. The master Haemonculus Trelexis was inspired to create a far more powerful version for
his own use. One who is invested with this fluid is practically invulnerable to poison and toxin
alike, his flesh healing at an astonishing rate.

The bearer of the Panacea Perverted can regain Lost wound , at the start of each of the player
turn , on a 4+. Furthermore, each the enemy player have a wound roll on this model , he need to
re-roll the 6 result .
If all of the unit of your detachement have one or more of this choice you gaine the new
