Warhammer - Warriors of Chaos 1.61 out now!

A bit of a larger update here, but nothing too controversial I think. The Mark of Slaanesh has seen a change to swap Stubborn for improved charge and pursuit ranges, thus making Slaanesh models a bit faster.

I've also renamed a lot of units to get away from everything being called "Chaos X" which is really superfluous and generic. The new names are pretty much all based on GW lore; either used in novels, video games or WFRP.

There have been quite a few tweaks to the various Monstrous Cavalry units, with Daemonic Steeds and Juggernauts both losing a point of Strength, and the former plus Rot Beasts gaining +1 Attack. Both Varanguard and Skullcrushers have also seen points increases to account for their large amounts of armours.  

Lastly, this update sees the inclusion of two new Special Characters: Frydaal and Styrkaar.

Next up: Orcs & Goblins!
