Disciples of Tzeentch – Tzaangors
6" 2 5+ 1 Tzaangors are a strange species, their origins as varied as they are horrific. Some were once gor-kin, corrupted by the Change God. Others are humans who have been subjected – sometimes willingly, but more often not – to horrific rituals of transmogrification. Yet more are beast-children, abandoned by their birth families but raised by Arcanite cults.
Believing themselves to be uniquely blessed by Tzeentch, Tzaangors possess a greater command of speech than other Chaos beastmen, though their voices are reedy and avian. They are drawn to the arcane, seeking to amass it wherever it is found – whether a thaumaturgical relic or a confluence of ley lines, the Tzaangors covet it all the same.
Tzaangors carry a variety of ornate blades crafted by their cultist allies, which they wield with surprising skill. They supplement these with vicious natural weapons, such as stabbing beaks that can pierce a human’s skull. Many Tzaangors also possess limited prophetic abilities; though this foreknowledge renders their movements twitchy and unnatural, they take great pride in what they see as a boon of their patron, and they jealously hoard any gleaned secrets. | ||

32.2 Objective Control
At the start of the first battle round and at the end of each turn, follow this sequence for each objective in an order chosen by the active player:- Starting with the active player, each player determines the control score of each of their units that is contesting that objective. A unit’s control score is the combined Control characteristics of all the models in that unit that are contesting the objective. Some abilities modify a unit’s control score, but it cannot be reduced to less than 1.
- Each player adds up the control scores of all of their units contesting that objective. This is their army control score for that objective.
- The players compare their army control scores for that objective. If one player’s score is higher, that player gains control of that objective. Once a player gains control of an objective, it remains under their control until their opponent gains control of it.
| Sometimes objective markers get accidentally nudged while you are moving models around. This is perfectly fine - just remember to put them back in their proper positions when determining objective control. | ||
