Blasted Standard

Woven from threads of pure magic, the Blasted Standard is inscribed with runes that constantly writhe, and surrounded with the coruscating fires of change. These magical flames shield Tzeentch's followers, leaping out to intercept enemy missiles and transforming them according to the Lord of Fate's whim. Volleys of arrows might be transformed into clouds of feathers, shoals of fish or puffs of multi-hued smoke whilst falling rocks and hurtling cannonballs may be altered into snowballs or piles of toads. However, such is Tzeentch's fickle natyre that these flames occasionally change a spent shot into a bolt of lightning or a spinning shard of crystal that punches into one of his followers with devastating — and often fatal — force.^[1a]
