Doomlord – Greater Daemon of Malal

Art by Tony Ackland

As I said in my previous post on the Lesser Daemon of Malal, the Renegade God was cut from Warhammer canon before Realm of Chaos was published. Two excellent posts from Awesome Lies and Realm of Chaos 80s give a fuller account. During my time on the project, I developed Lesser and Greater Daemons for him, based on existing art by Tony Ackland.

Before the decision was taken to cut Malal, I worked to include the Renegade God in my draft of Realm of Chaos. This included describing two Daemons for him: one greater and one lesser. By following my blog, Warhammer fans voted for both these creatures to receive stats for WFRP 1st and 4th editions. As always, what follows is to be regarded as a fan work and no challenge is intended to copyrights held by Games Workshop, Cubicle 7, or anyone else.

The mighty Doomlords are the most powerful servants of the Renegade God Malal. Massive creatures with hooves, horns, and tails, they fight the forces of Chaos with massive weapons and soul-sucking magic.

New Trait: Soul Drain

When the Doomlord’s tail attack scores a critical on any creature without the Undead or Daemonic Traits, do not roll as normal. Instead, the tail-barbs seize the victim and the human-looking head on the tip of the tail bites deeply into the victim’s flesh, draining their soul in an instant and leaving their body a shriveled, dead husk.
Half of the victim’s Wounds (at the time the critical was scored) go to Malal as a soul sacrifice. The other half are added to the Doomlord’s own Wounds score, for the next round of combat only. If the Doomlord is wounded during the round, these additional Wounds points are used first.
This attack counts as magical.
