Changecaster
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Changecasters are the most common types of Herald of Tzeentch and are named for the mutating magics they wield. They can often be found leading packs of Horrors within a host of a Scintillating Legion, a task much akin to herding beasts, for the Horrors are wont to caper off at any moment. Other Changecasters serve in more mundane and less frustrating roles, guarding sources of magical power or overseeing repairs within the Crystal Labyrinth.[1a]
Notable Changesters
- Tkal’chaka the Iridescent: Host composed of six Flamer packs and three Exalted Flamers. When the revered Shim’dre’lex’kazar goes to war, he does so at the forefront of the Lords of Transcendence. It was they that mutated the statue of the Emperor Ascendant on the shrine world of Luminaria into sentient, molten metal. [1b]
- Tch’fra-lar of the Burning Talon: Host composed of six Flamer packs and three Horror packs. Once the most favoured of Shim’dre’lex’kazar’s advisers, Tch’fra-lar was outmanoeuvred by Char’tzzla during the final battle of Mordian, and has since had his prime position usurped.[1b]
- Triho’hop of the Firecrown: Host composed of three Horror packs, three Screamer packs and three Flamer packs. It was during a conflict in the immaterium against the Plague Legions of Gul’poxx the Greater that Triho’hop and his host earned the title ‘Bringers of Blackfire’, for their changebolts and wyrdflames turned black amidst the contagion-ridden battlefield.[1b]
- Cha’ll’aaa: Host composed of three Exalted Flamers and six Flamer packs. None burnt more foes or terrain than the host known as the Fireshards of Cha’ll’aaa. Although the lowest ranking of all the legion’s hosts, their star is in the ascendant, and Cha’ll’aaa’s name is spoken of more and more with suspicion…[1b]
