Hello everyone! Zak Ludick here from Cape Town, South Africa and this is a Warhammer 40k - Datasheet Review post!
What is it all about? It is not there to just give a stat. It is there to give MY review of the unit in the game of Warhammer 40,000
The last of the Indexes! A new challenge!
Right, I am finally ahead and by my best estimations as I explained in this Post, I should be able to keep ahead of the release curve and get the remainder of the Indexes reviewed before those Codex releases.
So I embark on a new challenge. I have calculated that there are roughly 148 reviews to do. I have chosen my frequency and have given myself 96 days to review them all.
Today is Day 37/96.
I have reviewed 57/148.
Time elapsed: 38.54%
Review Completion: 38.51%
On Par!
Hobby Fund - Working myself into the clear
With my hobby posts, I generate a hobby fund. 50% of the income goes into the fund. At the moment I put all my HBD earned from Warhammer posts into my alt account 
I am collecting funds in the following ways:
- Blogging about Warhammer to earn HBD
- Accepting donations - Can be sent directly to
- Selling some of the collection to friends.
At the current count I am paying off some hobby debts. I still have $226 to pay off!
Every bit counts!
Back to the review!
Chaos Daemons, Sloppity Bilepiper
10th Edition Index
Daemons are confusing. This unit was so unique that I thought that this would be an Epic Hero... instead this unit is not unique and therefore you can have up to three of them in your army... they are also not extremely good...
Let's see what 55pts of bagpipes look like!
Stats
Movement 5"
Toughness 5
Save 7+/5++(armor/invul/Feel No Pain)
Wounds 5
Ld 7+
OC 1
Weapons
Weapon Loadout: Slayer Sword
Ranged Weapons
None
Melee Weapons
Marotter.
4 Attacks, Hitting on 3+, S5, AP0 and 1 Damage each.
Lethal Hits (Rolls of 6's to Hit score an automatic Wound)
Abilities
Deep Strike - If this unit arrives on the Battlefield from Reserves, it can be set up anywhere on the battlefield more than 9" from enemy models.
Skulls for Khorne
When this model attacks a Character unit, he re-rolls Hit rolls and Wound rolls. If a Character is slain by his attacks, the Daemon player gains 1 CP.
Disease of Mirth
At the start of the Fight Phase, all units in Engagement with this model's unit (excluding Monsters and Vehicles) must take a Battle Shock test!
Jolly Gutpipes
While leading a unit, add 1 to the unit's Movement. This model's unit can also re-roll Advance rolls.
Thoughts
Plaguebearers are slow, so giving them some more movement and a beter chance at making sure that their Advance roll is significant, is generally a good idea.
Forcing Battle-Shock is always a good way of maintaining control.
However, this model's stats and weapons are quite underwhelming.
That makes 44 Chaos Daemon Datasheets Reviewed, putting them on 88
% Completed! The total of the remaining Index reviews is now 89.
