Horrors of Tzeentch: Variants and Recruitment Guide

Availability

• Blue, Pink and Exalted Pink Horrors belong to the core Tzeentch roster included with Total War: Warhammer III. The Changeling can recruit them through his Shadows of Change campaign.
• Shadows of Change is optional for these regular Horror units in Kairos's campaign. Recruitment still requires the relevant campaign infrastructure.

Weapon variants

Blue Horrors of Tzeentch

A short-ranged missile choice. Deploy them where they can throw their projectiles, with space to fall back when attackers close.

Pink Horrors of Tzeentch

A separate ranged regiment with its own recruitment entry. Give it a clear firing position and support against enemies that reach the line.

Exalted Pink Horrors of Tzeentch

An advanced Pink Horror regiment, recruited separately from ordinary Pink Horrors. Select the Exalted entry when that is the unit your army needs.

Protect the shooting lanes

Deploy Horrors with a screen between them and the enemy's main attack. Keep enough space for a threatened regiment to withdraw while another keeps shooting. Watch the flanks: cavalry or fast monsters can force several missile units into melee before the rest of the army can respond.

Barrier helps units survive damage and recover after time out of danger. Use it as a reason to rotate a damaged regiment when there is room, rather than leaving it pinned down. Keep your caster ready to support the part of the screen under the most pressure.

Settlement and cult recruitment

Kairos recruits through Tzeentch's settlement infrastructure; the Changeling develops Trickster Cults. Inspect the recruitment panel for the Blue, Pink or Exalted Pink entry and the building that unlocks it in that campaign.

Pink and Blue Horrors are separate units in Total War: Warhammer III. The background story of Pink Horrors dividing into Blue Horrors describes their daemonic nature; select the regiment you want from the recruitment list.

Choose the support around the line

Kairos can configure spells for the enemy he expects to face. The Changeling can change his battlefield role through borrowed forms. The Blue Scribes add varied sorcery, while Aekold supplies a melee hero. Keep those characters close enough to help the formation without exposing all of them to the same attack.
