Force Organisation: Troops
| Pts/Model | WS | BS | S | T | W | I | A | Ld | Sv |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mutant | 6 | 3 | 2 | 3 | 3(4) | 2 | 3 | 2(3) | 7 |
| Mutant Boss | +10 | 3 | 2 | 3 | 3(4) | 2 | 3 | 2(3) | 8 |
Number/squad: 15-30
Weapons: A variety of crude blades, spears, basic pistols, bombs, clubs and pointed sticks which count as one (yes just one) Close combat weapon and frag grenades.
Options: The squad can replace their close combat weapons with firearms for free or replace their close combat weapons with an autopistol or laspistol for +1 points per model. The squad can be equipped with krak grenades for +2 points per model. Up to three models may be upgraded to an icon bearer for +3 points each. Up to two models in the squad may be upgraded to being armed with a flamer equivalent at +3 points per model or a heavy stubber at +5 points per model.
Character: For an additional cost of +10 points one of the Mutants may be upgraded to a Mutant Boss. The boss may purchase up to 15 points worth of weapons and wargear allowed by the Chaos Space Marine armoury (but no Marks, Gifts or other items).
Blessings of the Gods
These count as the equivalent of Daemonic gifts as detailed in Codex: Chaos Space Marines. Mutants already have Daemonic Resilience (+1 T) and (unsurprisingly) Daemonic Mutations (+1 A) included in their profiles above.
One of the following blessings is also available at the points cost shown per model, if any blessings are chosen they must be applied to the entire squad. Some blessings are particularly associated with certain powers, but they are not restricted to them alone and should not be confused with Marks of Chaos. No blessing may be taken more than once.
- Bloated (Nurglesque): +3 points per model, Armour save increased to 4+
- Burly, brawny and/or goathead (Khornate/Chaos Undivided): +3 points per model, counts as Daemonic Strength (+1 Strength)
- Horrifying, hypnotic or brightly coloured (Slaaneshi): +2 points per model, counts as Daemonic Visage (-1 Ld to enemy in assaults)
- Leaping, floating or winged (Tzeentchian): +6 points per model, counts as Daemonic Speed (move as cavalry)
Plague Zombies
To represent the hordes of Plague Zombies unleashed during the Thirteenth Crusade, use Mutants with the Bloated Blessing of Nurgle. Zombies may not take any weapon upgrades or include a Boss. They are however, Fearless, and hence will automatically pass any Morale or Leadership test and cannot be Pinned. Because of their shambling gait, they will always move as if they are in difficult terrain.
