Hello everyone! Zak Ludick here from Cape Town, South Africa and this is a Warhammer 40k - Datasheet Review post!

What is it all about? It is not there to just give a stat. It is there to give MY review of the unit in the game of Warhammer 40,000

The last of the Indexes! A new challenge!

Right, I am finally ahead and by my best estimations as I explained in this Post, I should be able to keep ahead of the release curve and get the remainder of the Indexes reviewed before those Codex releases.

So I embark on a new challenge. I have calculated that there are roughly 148 reviews to do. I have chosen my frequency and have given myself 96 days to review them all. That means that I am aiming at Day 96 being the 21st of July 2025!

Today is Day 16/96.
I have reviewed 24/148.

Time elapsed: 16.66%
Review Completion: 16.21%
Just under Par.

Hobby Fund - Working myself into the clear

With my hobby posts, I generate a hobby fund. 50% of the income goes into the fund. At the moment I put all my HBD earned from Warhammer posts into my alt account @zakl.hobbyfund.

I am collecting funds in the following ways:

• Blogging about Warhammer to earn HBD
• Accepting donations - Can be sent directly to @zakl.hobbyfund in HBD
• Selling some of the collection to friends.

At the current count I am paying off some hobby debts. I still have $226 to pay off!

Every bit counts!

Back to the review!

Chaos Daemons, Changecaster

10th Edition Index

A Sorcerer character that can join Blue and Pink Horrors. This would be a Tzeetch Daemon army leader. I have no idea what they do and have never come across one in battle so let's explore this one together!

This model is 60pts.

Let's check their stats and abilities!

Stats

Movement 6"
Toughness 3
Save 6+/4++ (armor/invul/Feel No Pain)
Wounds 3
Ld 7+
OC 1

Weapons

Standard weapons: Arcane Fireball, Herald Combat Weapon.

Ranged Weapons

Arcane Fireball - witchfire

18" Range, 3 Shots, Hitting on 3+, S5, AP-1 and D3 Damage each.
Psychic (This weapon has the Psychic keyword)

Arcane Fireball - focused witchfire

18" Range, 3 Shots, Hitting on 3+, S6, AP-2 and 2 Damage each.
Psychic (This weapon has the Psychic keyword)
Devastating Wounds (Rolls of 6 to Wound cause Mortal Wounds)
Hazardous (After using this weapon, roll a dice. On a 1 the user takes 3 Mortal Wounds)

Melee Weapons

Herald Combat Weapon

3 Attacks, Hitting on 4+, S4, AP-1 and 1 Damage each.
Psychic (This weapon has the Psychic keyword)

Abilities

Deep Strike - If this unit arrives on the Battlefield from Reserves, it can be set up anywhere on the battlefield more than 9" from enemy models.

Changecaster

While leading a unit, ranged weapons in this unit have the Sustained Hits 1 ability. (So rolls of 6 to Hit give you an additional hit)

Storm of Mutating Sorcery (Psychic)

In your Shooting phase, after this model has shot, select an enemy Infantry unit that was hit by this model's attacks. That unit must make a Battleshock test.

Thoughts

For a leader of a shooting infantry unit to give them Sustained Hits 1 is good. The character is pretty cheap points-wise and is also not super impressive. I suppose that has its advantages!

That makes 12 Chaos Daemon Datasheets Reviewed putting them on 24% Completed! The total of the remaining Index reviews is now 121.

Thank you for reading!
