Daughters of Khaine – Slaughter Queen on Cauldron of Blood
6" 12 4+ 5 Slaughter Queens are the martial leaders of the war covens, chosen for their skilled bladework and their fanaticism for dealing death. For a Slaughter Queen, the battlefield is her temple, and the jetting blood of an opened throat is her sacred offering to almighty Khaine. They fight with a sword in each hand, weaving a pattern of red ruination.
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. Slaughter Queens who have spilt rivers of blood in the name of their goddess are granted the honour of riding one to battle, and their aggressive strategy sees them wield it more like a close-combat war machine. 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. | ||
