Steed of Slaanesh
Steed of SlaaneshUnlocks at rank 5
- Mount: Steed of Slaanesh
Steeds have long, sinuous bodies that writhe ceaselessly as they dash towards the foe.

Hates KhorneUnlocks at rank 7
- Melee attack: +10 when fighting against Khornate factions
- Weapon strength: +15% when fighting against Khornate factions
This obsession with murder is just cheap, mindless bloodlust of the basest kind. To the servants of Slaanesh, there's so much more to life… and to death too, of course.
Eye of the Gods
Eye of the GodsUnlocks at rank 7
- Weapon strength: +10%
The slightest glance, the merest glimpse from one of the Dark Gods is sufficient to propel their playthings to ever-greater feats of desolation.

The shadow of the Ruinous Powers looms large, protecting those who bear their mark.

Harsh Past

Where these numbers come from

Read from the game's database tables for patch 9.0 (main_units, land_units, battle_entities, melee_weapons, projectiles…) as published in the WH3-Dump export (commit 8a4f7e64). Formulas that turn table values into card values are checked against known units before they are shown — how we verify.
