The Darkoath tribes are bringing the heat in Dawnbringers: Book VI – Hounds of Chaos, as they strive to reclaim their lands from the encroaching Sigmarite settlers. With their bulging muscles and fierce determination, these warriors are performing dark rituals and corrupting the very lands to drive out their foes.
But it’s not just brute force they rely on; the Darkoath take their oaths seriously. Each unit has a dark contract, and fulfilling it brings powerful boons. For example, the Oath of the Marauder grants -1 Rend to Darkoath Marauders after a successful charge roll.
Leading the charge is the Darkoath Chieftain on Warsteed, whose presence bolsters the entire mortal Darkoath army within range, improving their wound rolls.
However, failure to uphold their oaths has dire consequences. Those who falter are twisted into Wilderfiends, monstrous beings fueled by sacrifice points gained from fallen allies. These abominations unleash devastating abilities, ensuring that no tribe can escape their wrath.
You can get your hands on the rules for the Darkoath through the Darkoath Army Box or the Dawnbringers series. And if you’re not planning on getting those, don’t worry; the rules will be available for free download from Warhammer Community. Just be sure to uphold your oath to Chaos!
