Daughters of Khaine – Hag Queen on Cauldron of Blood
6" 12 4+ 5 For a battle worthy of their finest ritual offerings, the war covens of the Daughters of Khaine bring forth the greatest of their religion’s icons – the Cauldrons of Blood. Mounted on iron-shod wheels, these arcane devices surge forward, propelled solely by the incantations of their riders, as if the machine itself was lured onwards by the promise of carnage. Each is connected to Morathi’s own cauldron, which drains a portion of each sacrifice poured inside.
When a Hag Queen accompanies the altar, she brings the blood within the iron vat to a furious boil until it gives off billowing clouds of crimson steam. This offers strange protections, and Khainites nearby find themselves able to shrug off wounds or dodge blows more easily. Those fortunate enough to be offered a draught of the cauldron’s brew find themselves plunged into an ecstasy of violence, their martial prowess magnified by the Lord of Murder.
Brought to life by blood rituals, the iron statue of Khaine upon the shrine roars its anger in torrents of molten metal blood or swings its massive sword to hack down those who dare close with the cauldron. | ||
