Mutalith Vortex Beast

From the frozen reaches of the north come the Warriors of Chaos, an army of battle-hardened killers with hearts of iron and souls as black as coal. Hell-bent on slaughter and destruction, they fight for glory and the favour of their Dark Gods. Armed and armoured with hell-forged steel, these servants of the Ruinous Powers possess inhuman strength granted to them by their unholy patrons. Feared above all other foes, they are men of steel and fire, unrelenting in their dark and glorious quest to conquer the world in the name of their blasphemous gods. They are led to war by Champions of Chaos; unholy men who have willingly sold their humanity to the Ruinous Powers. These chosen warriors draw the gaze of the Chaos Gods as they slaughter in their name, and with great victories come mighty rewards, potent mutations and even immortality. Be warned, for though the path of Chaos can lead to a destiny greater than mortal minds can comprehend, it can also quickly result in insanity and death. After all, the capricious Gods of Chaos are nothing if not fickle, and the only certainty for those who swear allegiance to them is eventual damnation: Many are condemned to a gruesome end, twisting and deforming into a mindless Chaos Spawn. When a Chaos incursion comes pouring out of the northern wastes, the world trembles. Champions of the Dark Gods lead their warriors against the realms of men. Barbaric Marauder tribes stride through the snows with the names of their terrible gods on their lips. Alongside them march regiments of armour-clad Chaos Warriors, flanked by baroque-armoured Knights and a host of foul, Chaos-tainted monsters. Mighty Sorcerers weave terrifying spells of destruction. In the wake of these brutal armies comes the Realm of Chaos itself; bleeding ever outward until it threatens to engulf the lands of the sane in anarchy and misrule. The servants of the Dark Gods of Chaos never tire in their dark quest to drown the world in a tide of blood, and with every victory, the end of the world comes a little closer.

Aura of Mutation Chart

Innate bound spell (power level 5). Aura of Mutation is a direct damage spell with a range of 18". Roll a D6, and consult the table below to discover how many Toughness tests the target must take, and if any long-lasting mutations have occurred. For each Toughness test failed, the target suffers a single Wound which Ignores Armour Saves: 

Aura of Mutation

Unless stated otherwise, a model does not have a special rule. Most special rules are given to a model by the relevant entry in its Warhammer Armies book. In addition, a model's attacks can gain special rules because of the equipment it is using. Similarly, a model might get special rules as the result of a spell that has been cast upon it or perhaps even as the result of it being in a particular type of terrain. Where this is the case, the rule that governs the equipment, spell or terrain feature in question will make this clear. Most of the more commonly used special rules in Warhammer are listed here, but many troop types have their own unique abilities laid out in their Warhammer Armies book. Certain special rules partly consist of other special rules, all mentioned in the following pages. Unless otherwise noted, the effects of different special rules are cumulative. However, unless otherwise stated, a model gains no additional benefit from having the same special rule multiple times. This also applies to unique special rules in the various Warhammer Armies books that might contain special rules that are normally cumulative. Some special rules have an effect at the beginning of the battle, or before the game starts. These effects take place after both armies are deployed and any Deployment special rules have occurred but before the roll for first turn. Some special rules, especially in the Army Books, will affect models of a certain type. Note that special rules and spells such as this only ever affect friendly units from their own army, and will not affect enemy or allied units that happen to be in range. Eventually you are likely to come upon situations where two opposing special rules are in play. In these cases, the two special rules will simply cancel each other out either partially or completely, and neither will have an effect.

D6	Result
1	Hideous Disfigurements: The target must take D6 Toughness tests, and gains the Fear special rule for the rest of the game.
2	Trollbrains: The target must take D6 Toughness tests, and gains the Stupidity special rule for the rest of the game.
3	Gift of Mutations: The target must take D6 Toughness tests. After resolving these tests, one of the unit’s characteristics (roll a D6 to randomly select between WS, BS, S, T, I or A) is increased by 1 (to a maximum of 10) and one of their characteristics (roll another D6 to randomly select between W S, BS, S, T, I or A) is decreased by 1 (to a minimum of 1) for the rest of the game.
4	Tide of Transformation: The target must take D6 Toughness tests. Once the tests have been resolved, roll a D6: on a 3 or more, choose another enemy unit within 6" of the initial target– it must take D6 Toughness tests. Keep rolling for further victims(each within 6" of the last target struck), until the roll is less than 3 or there are no more viable targets. A unit can only be the target of Tide of Transformation once per casting.
5	Maelstrom of Change: Place the small round template over the target and scatter it D6". If a Hit! is rolled, the template does not scatter. Every model underneath the template must take a Toughness test.
6	Spawnchange: Every model in the target unit must take a Toughness test. If the target suffers one or more unsaved Wounds, you can immediately place a new Chaos Spawn anywhere within 6" of the target unit that is at least 1" from any unit and impassable terrain. If the target suffered no unsaved Wounds, if you do not have a spare Chaos Spawn model, or if it cannot be placed, then no Chaos Spawn is created.
