Chaos Spawn (2007 Edition)

Most Gifts of Chaos take the form of some physical mutation. The more of these gifts a Champion of Chaos receives, the more potentially disastrous their cumulative effects can be. Extreme mutations tend to affect the recipient in all kinds of unfortunate ways. Even the engineered body of a Chaos Space Marine can only withstand so many mutations before he passes the point of no return and devolves into a Chaos Spawn.

Any Champion of Chaos can find himself heading on the road to Spawndom. Even a Chaos Champion who enjoys the favor of his god may suffer this fate, while those that continue to fail in their tasks may well avoid Spawndom for many centuries. A Champion who does not earn himself the ultimate reward of daemonic immortality will certainly become a Spawn unless he dies by some other means first. Such is the lot of the Chaos Champion — he is destined for everlasting diabolic glory or an ignominious end as a mindless, slavering heap of twisted limbs and quivering protrusions.

The outward appearance of a Chaos Spawn is utterly unpredictable. No two are exactly alike, and their make-up owes as much to the random whims of the gods as it does physical suitability. A Spawn may have several sets of limbs, bizarre attributes like crab claws, a chitinous carapace, tattered and useless wings, clumps of eyestalks that wave like grass in a wind, a sinewy prehensile neck, or a gaping maw of needle-thin teeth.

You may include a unit of Chaos Spawn in your Chaos Space Marines army as a Fast Attack choice, though it does not use up any force organization chart slots.

This boxed set contains enough plastic components (62 pieces!) to assemble two (2) Chaos Spawn in a near limitless number of different configurations. These miniatures are suitable for use in Warhammer or Warhammer 40,000, although you must supply your own square bases for Warhammer use. All models are supplied unpainted and require assembly.
