Other Traitor Legions have this as well to some degree, like the mouths on the armor and firearms of Berzerkers, Havocs, and even on some Chaos tanks and Titans, as well as the beaks on some TS Exalted Sorcerers. Is there any evidence of these being used in combat? I could see a Plague Marine's stomach mouth pulling any enemy in with its long tongue and grinding them to pieces, or a Sorcerer cracking open someone's open skull like a parrot cracks open a nut. Is there any evidence of this happening, and if so, how exactly has it gone down?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/770548/10324033.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/770548/10324033.page GMT The use of extra jaws in Chaos forces
Just a guess from memory, don't really know at all. Good question.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/770548/10324035.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/770548/10324035.page GMT The use of extra jaws in Chaos forces

Good question, if i remember right these things on them like there bad chemical stench and other nasty things contribute to some sort of ability that is used in the battlefield.

Interesting, I didn't know that, but since they serve Nurgle, it makes sense. Also, some Plaguebearers have the large mouths on their stomachs though we never hear of them using them.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/770548/10324232.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/770548/10324232.page GMT The use of extra jaws in Chaos forces
There’s old fluff (I don’t think RoC old though) which explained, or at least postulated that being insane, the Gods consider all their gifts useful, with the line between Daemonhood and Spawn being as much luck as dedication. So a mutation may look fearsome, but simply get in the way,]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/770548/10324259.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/770548/10324259.page GMT Re:The use of extra jaws in Chaos forces
Later as the scale of the battles increased in WHFB, 40k, and Epic, GW tried to represent mutations with cards and the like, representing that the effective use of a mutation that was there all along (instead of having to track each model and their own set of mutations).

Ultimately though mutations are gained by exposure to the warp and Chaos gods not really caring whether a mutation is useful or not. Many of the old Realms of Chaos mutations were either cosmetic, or even negative.

The run of the mill warp exposure likely corrupts DNA and produces mutants from generation to generation, some of these could end up being fairly stable and able to reproduce having similar results as time goes on, like the tzaangors, others could be totally insane inbred monstrosities.

Either way most must be stable in some manner otherwise there would be no farmers, artisans etc. Within the eye that handle the day to day affairs of feeding the vast populations and arming the soldiers.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/770548/10324488.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/770548/10324488.page GMT The use of extra jaws in Chaos forces SW.

Well when it comes to Nurgle they could be parasites.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/770548/10324994.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/770548/10324994.page GMT The use of extra jaws in Chaos forces

Interesting, I didn't know about this. Are any of these rules still around? I'm checking the Death Guard Codex and I'm sadly not seeing anything.

Good point, it's not a traditional mouth. What I was more thinking of was something along the lines of this:



Plaguebearer equivalent:

Its from the 3rd edition chaos space marine codex. I would think that it is still valid, from a fluff point of view. Just look at the possessed marines.

In Dawn of War 2 the Great Unclean one can fire its intestines at the enemy and pull him in close combat. I believe it also damaged the enemy.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/770548/10325074.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/770548/10325074.page GMT The use of extra jaws in Chaos forces
Not recomended for younger people, depending on the country you are in.
