3e Fantasy Stats[edit]
In the original Champions of Chaos splatbook for Warhammer Fantasy, Amon'Chakai is a Lord of Change special character who costs 855 points and must be accompanied by a retinue of at least 855 Tzeentch daemons. He can be the army's General if you want. For this huge price, you're getting a Flying character with Movement 8, Weapon Skill and Ballistic Skill 9, Strength 7, Toughness 7, Wounds 8, Initiative 9, Attacks 6 and Leadership 10. He causes Terror, has a 1+ Daemonic Aura save, and Hates any creature of Nurgle -- daemons of Nurgle, creatures with the Mark of Nurgle, or units lead by a Champion of Nurgle, he hates them all! He also has three unique Daemonic Rewards... which, due to the way this edition works, have to be paid for in addition to his basic cost, although at least his Master of Sorcery and All Seeing Eye can be taken by other characters as well.
- The Hand of Destiny: Designate one enemy model; the chosen target is cursed with death, and for the rest of the battle, all hand-to-hand and shooting attacks against this model hit automatically. This effect lasts even if Amon'Chakai is killed. Costs 30 points.
- Master of Sorcery: Costing a whopping 250 points, this daemonic reward turns its bearer into a level 5 Wizard who can draw 5 spells from either the Tzeentch, Dark Magic or Battle Magic spell decks.
- All Seeing Eye: Costing 50 points, this daemonic reward lets the player choose a single enemy model at the start of the game, after both sides are deployed. The enemy player must reveal all equipment, magic items, special abilities and spells that the target has -- and if the target is a Wizard, they lose a random spell and cannot use it during that battle, although their level is unchanged.
