When the Daughters of Khaine march to war, their wizards and priestesses can conjure blood and shadow into dangerous magicks to harry their foes. The Bloodwrack Viper is an enormous serpent formed from boiling blood, a manifestation of hatred and bitterness that binds its prey into a crushing embrace before squeezing so forcefully that the victim explodes in a shower of gore. Carried through the air by a tempest of blood, the Bladewind carves a bloody path through anything in its way, slicing through armour with unnatural ease to get to the flesh and blood beneath. The most devout of Khaine's priestesses can summon a manifestation of his Iron Heart, a blood-dripping icon that burns with supernatural rage.

The arrows loosed by such bows are bloodseekers. shafts blessed by the Queen and imbued with the same enchantments as those that guide Morathi’s own spear, Heartrender. With uncanny accuracy, these missiles streak across the battlefield to pierce their targets through the heart. In close combat, Blood Stalkers wield scianlar, long daggers forged to absorb the energies from enemies’ vital organs. These are no gore offerings to Khaine, but tributes destined to strengthen the Melusai’s true master, Morathi. This multi-part plastic kit contains the components necessary to assemble 5 Blood Stalkers.

Above the this they feature metal waist pieces with attached sashes, and armoured breastplates. The Blood Stalkers feature open-face masks, giving them better peripheral vision and tracking abilities essential to their role as archers – as a nod to their abilities in close combat, each model also carries a sacrificial knife, a scianlar, on their waists. You have the option to build 1 model as a Krone, the unit leader: she can be distinguished by her unique heartseeker bow, modelled with serpentine heads at each end of the handle.
