=====Sheogorath, The Mad God=====

Sheogorath is insane. It is said that nobody but himself can guess his motives, but even he's wrong about them half the time. Sheogorath and his followers are utterly unpredictable, to an almost comic extent, but can be just as dangerous and evil as they are foolish. Many have sought to be granted powers from Sheogorath, only to find themselves going mad in due time.

Sheogorath favors Golden Saints and Dark Seducers, although any particular cultist army or allied detachment may only choose one to be favored for their army list. He also favors Flesh Atronachs, which can be taken as familiars by certain cult members. Sheogorath's artifacts are the Spear of Bitter Mercy, Dawnfang, and Wabbajack. His worshipers may be up to 4" apart and still be in coherency. Each unit of worshipers must take a Leadership check at the beginning of each game turn. If they fail, their sanity slips away, and they must roll a d6:

1 The cultists fall into a gibbering fit of dementia. They cannot move, shoot, march, charge, fight in close combat or activate abilities until the beginning of the next game turn.

2 The cultists enter a psychotic rage. They have Fleet of Foot, and Frenzy, and cannot cast spells, march or shoot, this game turn.

3 The cultists weep miserably over trivial matters. They have -1 Ld this game turn.

4 The cultists run wild, doing strange and random things. They gain Hit and Run and Furious Charge, but have -1 WS -1 BS, for the duration of this game turn.

5 The cultists become ecstatic over bright lights. On your player turn, randomly choose a spell capable of targeting a unit, friend or enemy, for each group of models in the unit who know the exact same set of spells. They may target friendly models this turn, even with things that can normally only target enemies; they may also target allied units, regardless of the type of alliance. The cultists automatically cast those spells on that unit(if it is a friendly unit, opponent chooses how to place templates and blast markers) during the appropriate phases this game turn, even if they are in close combat. They may not move, march or charge normally this game turn.

6 The cultists fall into a bliss of mania. They are Fearless and have Feel No Pain this game turn, but do not get any charge bonuses for the duration of their mania.
