Wargaming’s Own Champions: Warhammer Community Tests The Maelstrom’s Custom Character Rules

Warhammer Community staff test The Maelstrom’s custom character rules from Crucible of Champions by building several homebrewed leaders (e.g., Ashnasir the Excoriator and Zerachiel) and detailing their datasheets and kitbash methods. The pieces show how to design Dynastic Conquerors with Flayer Curse, Flayer claws, and United In Destruction to lead custom forces, and invite readers to craft their own champions for The Maelstrom: Crucible of Champions ahead of The Maelstrom: Lair of the Tyrant pre-orders.

Forge your own Warhammer 40,000 heroes with Crucible of Champions rules

The Warhammer Community article introduces Crucible of Champions, a new set of rules in The Maelstrom: Lair of the Tyrant that lets players craft bespoke Warlord protagonists for their 40,000 armies. Starting from an archetype, players add a Specialism, abilities, and a choice of weapons to shape a character’s keywords, roles, and point cost, with examples like Rogue Trader Kristovahl Dynost III, Glitcha da Psykamekk, and Zar Tahyed. The rules emphasize flexibility and storytelling, allowing kooky combinations in friendly matches, and note that the first two weapons are free with subsequent weapons costing five points each. Pre-orders for The Maelstrom: Lair of the Tyrant are teased as part of the narrative.
