Description[]
Pink Horrors are identified by their luminescent pink skin and their squeals of high-pitched laughter. Spellcasting fills them with joy, and they emit especial merriment as eldritch energy screeches from their upraised hands. When wounded, a Pink Horror exhales a final lunatic cackle before rapidly decomposing into an ectoplasmic blob of gyrating magic, which swiftly alters colour and divides into two Blue Horrors – diminutive replicas of their parent Daemon.
Attributes[]
- Missile Infantry
- ▲ Barrier: This unit has a barrier that absorbs damage until depleted. When not taking damage, the barrier will slowly replenish. Maximum barrier health is proporsional to remaining unit health.
- ▲ Decent Melee Combatant: Despite being primarily a missile unit or spellcaster, this unit can also hold its own ground when fighting in melee.
- ▲ Flaming Attacks: This unit inflicts flaming attacks. Units hit by flaming attack heal at half the usual rate whilst 'on fire' and sustain additional damage if vulnurable to fire.

Strategy[]
Highly versatile, in the absence of mortal units, Horrors can serve as line units. Pink Horrors can be both a meatshield and a source of great ranged firepower, and since they're easy to recruit for Tzeentch-alligned factions they can serve as the bulk of your army.
When playing with Pink Horrors, it is recommended to disable skirmish mode and enabling guard mode for them. You can either do this at the start of each battle or set those for all missile units in the options menu. This will prevent your meatshield from running. Also, missile units in guard mode will continue firing whilst engaged in melee and will not try to pile in on the enemy, reducing the melee damage done to them and increasing your overall fire power.
For Warriors of Chaos factions, Pink Horrors are a rare and valuable source of effective ranged power in the early to mid game, enabling you to hit back against those pesky crossbows and guns or turn the heat up against a unit you need to get rid of quickly. Since they're ok in melee, battered front line units can be pulled out and replaced with them when necessary.
