'''Heralds of Tzeentch''' are the most powerful and magically gifted [[Horror of Tzeentch|Horrors]]. These beings are the most intelligent and independent of the Pink Horrors, capable of using their sorcery forcefully enough to blast an opponent into oblivion or weave cunning illusions. They often ride [[Disc of Tzeentch|Discs]] or [[Burning Chariot|Burning Chariots of Tzeentch]] into battle.{{Fn|1}} Variants include [[Fateskimmer|Fateskimmers]]s, [[Fluxmaster|Fluxmasters]]s, and [[Changecaster|Changecasters]]s.{{Fn|1a}}<br {{clear=all>}}
==Changecasters==
[[File:Changecaster.jpg|right|thumb|200px|A Changecaster miniature.]]
'''Changecasters''' are the most common of the Herald of Tzeentch and are named for the mutating magics they wield. They can often be found leading packs of [[Horror of Tzeentch|Horrors]] within a host of a [[Scintillating Legion]], a task much akin to herding beasts, so the Horrors won't caper off at any moment. Other Changecasters serve in more mundane and less frustrating roles, guarding sources of magical power or overseeing repairs within the [[Crystal Labyrinth]].{{Fn|1a}}
==Fluxmasters==
[[Image:TzeentchHerald.jpg|thumb|right|180px|A Fluxmaster miniature.]]
'''Fluxmasters''' are Heralds who ride atop a [[Disc of Tzeentch]], and are so named because the great speed they fly at, reshaping reality in their wake. Fluxmasters are often used as messengers and outriders within Tzeentch's [[Scintillating Legion]]s, and will frequently use their speed to dash into cover before using their [[psychic]] powers to hurl changebolts to smite their foes. Some will lead packs of [[Screamers]] in charges on the enemy's flanks, while others take charge of groups of [[Horrors]], using their speed and advantageous position to better augment and direct their charges or confound their foes.{{Fn|1a}}
==Fateskimmers==
[[File:BurningChariot2.jpg|thumb|right|300px|A Fateskimmer miniature.]]
'''Fateskimmers''' are Heralds who have, most likely through trickery, acquired a [[Burning Chariot]]. These Heralds will swoop and dive across the battlefield, cackling madly as they unleash fearsome sorceries from their lofty perches before smashing their bizarre contraption into the enemy lines. The most cautious and controlling of the Fateskimmers lurk upon a battle's edge, where they move along the back lines of their host and yell orders amidst the madness and change-fire. However, there have also been several instances of Fateskimmers leading entire formations of [[Burning Chariot]]s to war.{{Fn|1a}}
