Chaos DeCimator Daemon engine .........................................................

Points: 155
Decimators are daemonic engines of death, horrific amalgams of human and Xenos technology fused and brought to unholy life by the darkest warp sorcery. Recorded in the forces of the Great Enemy as long ago as the mass genocides known in Imperial Lore as the Grief of Herodin in late M.35, they have fortunately been rarely encountered, save within the damned cults and daemon fleets that plague the benighted reaches of the Nightmare Rifts far to the Galactic South of the Segmentum Tempestus. Here in the dark void beyond the borders of the Imperium, some unknown source, it is believed, barters these dread killing machines for a high price in blood, plunder and souls. This has led some within the Ordo Malleus to label them the work of the infamous Dark Magos known as the Sepktraal Cult which legend has it was driven to the rifts beyond the Silent Abyss during the Great Scouring, while others insist that the cult never existed at all except in the febrile myths of the forgotten age.

Unholy Vigour The tortured souls and screaming daemonic forces bound within the Decimator are held fast with powerful incantations that mere physical force cannot easily blast asunder. Whenever the Decimator suffers a Weapon Destroyed or Immobilised result, this can be ignored on a D6 roll of 5+. In addition if the Decimator is Wrecked (but does not suffer a Vehicle Explodes result when destroyed), place it on its back or side or leave a marker on the table to represent its position. At the start of the owning players subsequent turns, before models are moved, roll a D6. On the result of a 6 the Decimator returns to play (place it as close to its original position as possible, but more than 1" away from enemy models) just as if it had successfully arrived via Deep Strike, with its weapons and mobility restored. On a result of 1 the marker is removed and the Decimator is permanently destroyed. On a result of 2-5 the Decimator remains destroyed, but the owning player may attempt to roll again for Unholy Vigour on their next turn. Decimator Siege Claws The long-bladed claws of the Decimator crackle with murderous energies. Attacks made with them ignore armour saves and its player may re-roll failed To Wound rolls against targets with an armour value, roll 2D6 and pick the highest result for Armour Penetration rolls. When the Decimator inflicts a penetrating hit on a building or transport vehicle carrying embarked troops, the unit inside suffers D6 Heavy Flamer hits in addition to any Damage inflicted.

Relic Weapons The Decimator may be armed with a variety of bizarre and horrific weapons fuelled by the daemonic forces bound within its tortured metal framework.
