The Lord Discordant is a new HQ choice for Chaos armies in Warhammer 40k. It combines the might of a Maulerfiend, the wisdom of a Warpsmith, and the leadership of a Chaos Lord into one deadly package. Lords Discordant are Chaos Space Marines who have a sinister, arcane mastery over machinery, similar to Warpsmiths in their training and fell purpose. They prefer to lead from the front, fighting from the backs of scuttling Daemon Engines known as Helstalkers. In-game, they specialize at dismantling tanks, skimmers, and the like with prying mechadendrites and brutal swings of their impaler chainglaives. Lords Discordant feed off the suffering of the machines they destroy, using their captured motive force to repair their Daemon Engines and annihilate the enemy with coruscating beams of repurposed energy.
