Santa

Malbreth was absolutely fuming. How humiliating to have to go before Morathi on bended knee like some poor supplicant ending up almost begging for Scáthborn to supplement her temporarily thinned forces. Using the leathanam as studs to breed her most successful warriors was working, but as Draichi Ganeth devotees anything that spoilt the beauty of their movements on the battlefield was to be avoided and, unfortunately, even the most skilled of her Sisters of Slaughter couldn't conceal her pregnancy. "Prove yourself" Morathi had demanded; very well, that she would! Leading from the front as ever, Darksword in hand atop her Cauldron of Blood she would take the sole available unit of Sisters with her and impress Morathi.

Pads, the way I read it, and the way I am intending on treating my DOK, is that there were Daughters all the time, they just weren't that big or important. When Morathi reappeared and claimed (more than) her portion of the souls freed from Slaanesh it was these souls who became the Scathborn (Melusai and Khinerai) as they are the only new units in the army. When the Khainites started expanding due to successes it was breeding, rather than new rescued souls that drove the expansion of the Covens and the splitting into the different sects ruled by their own Hag Queen.

Santa here, another Ryga's player. I'm also going to be bringing a Daughters of Khaine army to the table, specifically Draichi Ganeth. I'm lucky I've already started on a Cauldron of Blood, otherwise (as a late joiner and slow painter) I'd struggle to hit 500 painted points in time!
