Hello everyone! Zak Ludick here from Cape Town, South Africa and this is a Warhammer 40k - Datasheet Review post!
What is it all about? It is not there to just give a stat. It is there to give MY review of the unit in the game of Warhammer 40,000
The last of the Indexes! A new challenge!
Right, I am finally ahead and by my best estimations as I explained in this Post, I should be able to keep ahead of the release curve and get the remainder of the Indexes reviewed before those Codex releases.
So I embark on a new challenge. I have calculated that there are roughly 148 reviews to do. I have chosen my frequency and have given myself 96 days to review them all. That means that I am aiming at Day 96 being the 21st of July 2025!
Today is Day 18/96.
I have reviewed 28/148.
Time elapsed: 18.75%
Review Completion: 18.91%
Slightly over Par.
Hobby Fund - Working myself into the clear
With my hobby posts, I generate a hobby fund. 50% of the income goes into the fund. At the moment I put all my HBD earned from Warhammer posts into my alt account 
I am collecting funds in the following ways:
- Blogging about Warhammer to earn HBD
- Accepting donations - Can be sent directly to
- Selling some of the collection to friends.
At the current count I am paying off some hobby debts. I still have $226 to pay off!
Every bit counts!
Back to the review!
Chaos Daemons, Epidemius
10th Edition Index
An Epic Hero of Nurgle and a leader of Plaguebearers. This model empowers your army the more models Nurgle units kill. Thus, probably best specced with Nurgle units in mind.
This model is 80pts - cheap.
Let's check their stats and abilities!

Blessed by the Plague God
While leading a unit, models in that unit have a 4+ Invul save.
Tally of Pestilence
Keep a tally of how many models are detroyed by Nurgle Daemon units in your army. At the start of the Command Phase, if the tally is 7 or more, gain 1CP and reset the tally to 0.
Thoughts
Right! A CP farm and he makes 1 unit tougher.
Probably will see use holding an objective in the back and racking up the additional CP with other units. Now there might be a reason for all sorts of aggressive Nurgle units!
That makes 16 Chaos Daemon Datasheets Reviewed putting them on 32% Completed! The total of the remaining Index reviews is now 117.
Thank you for reading!
