Daughters of Khaine – Doomfire Warlocks
14" 3 5+ 1 The Doomfire Warlocks are the light cavalry of the war covens. They harass foes with blasts of arcane flame and volleys of black-fletched bolts, harrying the enemy’s flanks and slaying unprotected targets. As the main Khainite formations are engaged, these swift riders charge in, scimitars drawn, to help overwhelm and finish off their distracted victims. Up close, Doomfire Warlocks are gaunt and pallid, their black eyes full of spite. Emblazoned upon their brows are hateful runes that cause them great pain but are also vital in keeping them alive.
There are few male aelves in the cities of the Daughters of Khaine – fewer still within the war covens. This is by nefarious design. Only the weakest souls retrieved from Slaanesh are used to create male aelves, and all are worked hard, fed poorly and drained of blood in daily rituals. Doomfire Warlocks are at least given a measure of false autonomy, allowing them to ride to battle and wield dark arcane power. However, their dhaimkhyr – the sacred rune that grants Warlocks their magic – keeps them bound to Morathi’s will, and she will also use this connection to siphon off portions of their soul to keep them withered and subservient. | ||
