The grim darkness of the far future holds many terrors, and few are as unpredictable and dangerous as a Daemonhost. To understand, control (attempt to, at least), and ultimately combat these warp-spawned entities, Inquisitors and their acolytes rely on the invaluable Daemonhost Datasheet. This document serves as a critical tool for those who dare to tread the line between the material realm and the horrors of the Warp.
Decoding the Daemonhost Datasheet A Guide to the Unholy
The Daemonhost Datasheet is far more than a simple stat block. It is a compendium of knowledge gleaned from countless encounters with these possessed individuals. Each datasheet attempts to categorize key information, providing insights into the Daemonhost’s potential strengths, weaknesses, and behaviors. The effectiveness of a warband facing a Daemonhost hinges on their ability to interpret and apply the data contained within. This includes understanding the specific Daemon that inhabits the host, as well as the host’s original physical capabilities before its corruption. Without the Datasheet, facing a Daemonhost is akin to walking blind into a raging warp storm.
These datasheets typically include several key sections, designed to provide a comprehensive overview. Below is a summary of the information you may find:
- Profile: Basic stats such as Movement, Weapon Skill, Ballistic Skill, Strength, Toughness, Wounds, Attacks, Leadership, and Save.
- Wargear: A listing of any weapons or equipment the Daemonhost wields, whether physical or warp-born.
- Special Abilities: This section details the unique powers and rules possessed by the Daemonhost, often related to its specific Daemonic patron. For example:
- Daemonic Resilience: Ignoring certain wound types.
- Warp Instability: Random psychic outbursts.
Furthermore, the datasheet often includes observations regarding the Daemonhost’s behavior, preferred tactics, and any known vulnerabilities. This information can be critical in formulating a strategy to defeat the entity. Note that the information is not always accurate or complete, as the nature of the warp is inherently chaotic. Think of a Daemonhost Datasheet like a scientific summary in the Warhammer 40K universe.
| Section | Description |
|---|---|
| Daemonic Name (suspected) | The potential name of the inhabiting entity |
| Containment Notes | Previous attempts and successes at containing it. |
