Beastmaster

"Heel, curs!"

Beastmasters are a subsect of the Wych Cult that fight against wild creatures in the arenas of Commorragh. It is the task of the Beastmasters to capture Warp Beasts; fight against them in the arena or guide them into battle and unleash them upon the unwitting foe!

Tactics

The Beastmaster should be the first unit reinforced to any Warp Beast Pack. In addition to being an even more powerful fighter than the basic Warp Beast, she provides her Tame Warp Beasts ability lets her regain control of the squad if their morale breaks. The time between uses is very long however, so it is wise to have backup measures in the form of Wych Combat Drugs. The Beastmaster does not benefit from Wargear: Power Blades or Wargear: Agonizers, being equipped with a fully-powered Agonizer Whip by default.
