Tzeentchian Faction Idea: Neurox (Ash Nomad and Mutant cult)

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide General Discussion
1

Previous one:

Origin: Ash Waste Nomad fell to Chaos a long time ago, but while they fell they managed to remain unseen, now with the Hives in disarray, they want to pledge their worlds to the Changer of Way.

Themes: This faction would hinge in part on the Ash Waste Nomads of Necromunda, on the Mutants rabbles and on Thralls from the Hives.

Appearance:

  • Horde: Civilians that are puppeted by the Tzeentchian cult, their eye lit up with Chaotic energy (Based on Fantasy’s where Vilitch control Warrior of Chaos and made them into mindless automatons, where their eyes are lit in the colours known to Tzeentch. They would look more healthy, but when not aggroed they show ticks, moving their head in snapping movements.

  • Lower Hordes: Mutants and lower Ash Nomads with less armour

  • Higher Horde, Elites and Special: Ash Waste Cultist proper

I just want to say I love this idea, as I absolutely adore the Ash Waste Nomad models. Especially as the basic squad is the same price as the Cultist set, I think they look a lot more thematic and fit the ragtag poor cultist vibe perfectly.

I think it’s the only other Tzeentchian group/faction that could work, other than making them simply some sort of Psyker Coven
