Disciples of Tzeentch – Jade Obelisk
5" 1 4+ 1 The Jade Obelisk are iconoclastic worshippers of a daemonic entity known as the Speaker in the Stone. Each is afflicted by a curse that transforms their flesh to crumbling rock. Only by raising spires of realm-warping jade over civilisation’s ruins can they stave off degradation. In doing so, they serve Tzeentch, who delights in the cultists’ hope that one day they may escape their curse.
During the Age of Chaos, the Ghurish cavern-cities of Vexothskol were overrun, until only the citadel of Nephricar remained unconquered. It was through the towering obelisk of jade at Nephricar’s heart that the Speaker in the Stone first entreated the people of Vexothskol. It seduced Mason-King Mephrobaal and his subjects with promises of power, inflicting the stone-flesh curse upon them in exchange for bolstering their physical might.
The Jade Obelisk travel the realms in search of idols to demolish. The most honoured carry shards of the great pinnacle of Nephricar, capable of transmuting the flesh of their enemies to stone. Under the gaze of the daemonic Idolarcs, the Jade Obelisk plough into the fray, transmogrified flesh shrugging off harm as they swing chisel and mallet with destructive intent. | ||

Army List
Warscrolls collatedCompanion
Unless otherwise specified, this weapon is not affected by friendly abilities that affect weapon characteristics or the attack sequence, except for those that apply negative modifiers to it (e.g. ‘Covering Fire’).Anti-X (+1 Rend)
Add 1 to this weapon’s Rend characteristic if the target has the keyword after ‘Anti-’ or fulfils the condition after ‘Anti-’. Multiples of this ability are cumulative. For example, if a weapon has both Anti-charge (+1 Rend) and Anti-HERO (+1 Rend), then add 2 to the Rend characteristic of the weapon for attacks that target a HERO that charged in the same turn.Save Roll
The commander of the target unit rolls a dice, subtracting the attacking weapon’s Rend characteristic from the roll. Unmodified save rolls of 1 always fail. If the roll equals or exceeds the Save characteristic of the target unit, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. If not, it is a successful attack: move on to the next step.3.3 Reinforced Units
When you add a unit to your army roster, you can add it as a reinforced unit. A reinforced unit has twice as many models as its minimum unit size and costs twice as many points. If a unit has a minimum unit size of 1, it cannot be reinforced.
