Hey there all - a couple of surprises for you today! All new, this October, and not in the slightest on the docket for this month's reward plans, are a pair of additions to the Legions of Khurybah and the Covenants of Mars!

Perhaps the more unusual of the two are the new Legion Shikari, a unit of five models making up the basic 'pure' Dæmon infantry in a force hailing from Khurybah. Just fitting on 40mm bases, these things are by no means a small foe to face, particularly en masse, where their bodies, made from reconstituted muscle and bone - a living weapon that carves and devours its way through foes, fortifications and vehicles with terrifying ease.

Next up is an all-new fourth variant of the Myraphyx line of tanks, shedding its flexibly interchangeable turret for a dedicated weapons platform housing an ultrasonic destructor. With so much space required to carry both its cannon and the generator for its nightmarish payload, wherein targets are slowly, painfully liquified and eviscerated by intense vibrations, the Myraphyx Naryka tows its fuel in a trailer behind it. Though this does leave it vulnerable from the rear, there have been very few casualties suffered from fuel exposures since its introduction to battlefields, as the psychological effect of such an abhorrent weapon renders it almost unapproachable without lasting severe injuries to those few 'lucky' enough to survive an assault against one - let alone a squadron!
