A unit of thrall wizards, fighting together and conniving against one another, in the hope of gaining approval from the Changer of Ways. The unity type appears in 'Slaves to Darkness', as a rite of passage for aspirant sorcerers:
Tzeentch is the natural choice of Patron for any aspiring wizard. In fact, such is the attraction of Tzeentch patronage that there is no shortage of spell casters in his armies. As a result of this over-abundance of potential followers, Tzeentch does not automatically accept every young would-be wizard as his Champion. Instead, those who would wish to become Wizard-Champions first join a band of Thrall Wizards.
Thrall Wizards are organised into bands of nine. The members of the band must compete with each other to establish which one of them will be their leader and Champion. It pleases the Changer of the Ways to watch his followers plot and intrigue amongst themselves for supremacy over their fellows, knowing that only one of them will be granted a chance at immortality.
- Slaves to Darkness (1990);
The minis are mostly CH5 Chaos Sorcerers (See the Sodemons site) and as such, have individual names that allude to their glories/aspirations/vices.
Two chaos thugs and Varna'Gth The Pestilent
Thug converted (weapon swap) to be the standard bearer, Shreve The Inquisitor, and Amon Duul.
Sli'ith Iron Lung, Slaragash the Defiler, Dark Torgt Hell Grin, and Chaos Thug converted to musician by virtue of some plastic dark elf arms.
With these I complete my October pledge for the Crown of Command 6, and take one step further on the road to damnation.
