Grotmas Calendar Day 6 – Terrify and terminate with a new Chaos Space Marines Detachment

Many warbands of the Traitor Legions embrace shock assaults of limitless cruelty and terror. The tactics of a Nightmare Hunt have been employed to fuel sorcerous rituals with their victims’ fear, to sow discord and dread in their enemies or to serve as threatening reminders to circling rivals of a warband’s superiority. For some lords of Heretic Astartes, however, murder and misery-making for their own sake provide a sadistic delight.

Their warriors steal onto the battlefield, darkness their ally as they prowl closer to their prey. Enemy soldiers’ fears are stoked, then exploited, mounting anxiety and confusion becoming additional weapons in the Traitors’ arsenal. Howling horrors plummet from dark skies or tear their way into reality, ready to rend the foe apart in gruesome spectacles. Every error their quarry makes, every reckless decision and panicked judgment that fear drives them to, is another vulnerability that a Nightmare Hunt’s predators gladly sink their talons into.
