Daughters of Khaine – Bloodwrack Medusa
8" 6 5+ 2 It is considered a high honour among Khainite aelves to be selected for the Slith‑onóir. In this gory ritual, their flesh is pierced by the fangs of the hissing serpents that crown the Shadow Queen’s skull. This results in the agonising transformation of the chosen into monstrous beings blessed with a portion of Morathi’s strength and magic – the Bloodwrack Medusae.
Bloodwrack Medusae wield sorcerous energies, and their eyes blaze with the power of death. Any who meet a Medusa’s gaze find their body exsanguinated in a welter of gore. Neither does the sorceress shy away from combat; wielding the razor-sharp gauntlet known as a whisperclaw in concert with a Bloodwrack spear, the Medusa can cut a swathe through any foes foolish enough to approach her.
Those selected for the Slith-onóir might be the rising champions of their sect, but some are chosen because they are openly contentious when it comes to Morathi- Khaine’s strictures or her claims of a divine mandate. Regardless, after the ritual, Bloodwrack Medusae become the goddess’s most faithful and loyal servants. Naturally resonant with arcane power, they eagerly absorb every scrap of magical knowledge that she grants them, including all manner of malicious spells and curses. | ||

BLOODWRACK STARE: Should a victim’s eyes lock with a Bloodwrack Medusa’s stare for even a second, their lifeblood will violently rebel, flooding from every pore until their body collapses into a pool of gore.
Effect: Each time this unit attacks with its Bloodwrack Stare, if the attack scores a hit, roll a number of dice equal to the number of models in the target unit. For each 5+, inflict 1 mortal damage on that unit. You cannot pick the same enemy unit to be targeted by attacks made with a Bloodwrack Stare more than once per phase.
 Reaction: You declared a FIGHT ability for this unit |
MELUSAI KIN: A Bloodwrack Medusa leads her Melusai kin into battle, encouraging them to follow her example and strike down the enemy with brutal swiftness.
Effect: Pick a friendly non-HERO MELUSAI unit that has not used a FIGHT ability this turn and is within this unit’s combat range to be the target. The target can be picked to use a FIGHT ability immediately after the FIGHT ability used by this unit has been resolved.
