Faction Deep Dive – The Tzeentch

Malum Caedo and Nyra Veyrath are no strangers to the heretical forces of chaos that plague the Imperium. However familiar one can be with Chaos, the forces of Tzeentch are the most unknowable, always changing, evolving and plotting. 

In Warhammer 40,000 Boltgun, Malum brought Bolter and Chainsword to bear down on a daemonic incursion that included some of the horrors conjured up by the god of change, Tzeentch. Now these warp entities such as Screamers, Flamers and Horrors return once more, this time at the head of Thousand Sons Rubricae.

Rubric Marines

Advancing inexorably across the battlefield, Rubric Marines are what remains of the Thousand Sons traitor legion – once proud Astartes, now mindless automatons. Their ornate armour is a shell that contains what used to be an Astartes, eternally bound to both their suit and the will of Tzeentch. Their Inferno Bolters and Soulreaper Cannons unleash a flurry of warp-touched bolts that flood the arena, creating a challenge of dodging whilst keeping up the offensive.

Scarab Occult Terminators

Fighting alongside the Rubric Marines are the veteran Scarab Occult Terminators; once the living bodyguards of their Primarch, Magnus the Red. They are imprisoned in hulking suits of Terminator armour with a dizzying output of ranged fire from Combi-Bolters, Hellfyre Missiles, and Heavy Warpflamers. Despite their size and slow movement, targeting them will provide a challenge as they seemingly phase-shift when targeted and can rapidly redeploy with Tzeentch trickery.

The forces of Tzeentch are just one of the enemy factions that Malum Caedo and Nyra Veyrath will be purging when Warhammer 40,000 Boltgun 2 releases later this year.
