Codex: Chaos Daemons

Product Information

We posted this in the Thousand Sons Faction Focus, but it’s worth reposting here where it’s less of a troll for readers. This list is patterned after the one that Davis Frye recently piloted to a 1st-place finish at a 9th-edition release party RTT in Virginia, and focuses on threat saturation with big daemons (Frye has given credit to Seth Riggins for coming up with the list). Flamers are also worth consideration, given that they have the Infantry keyword and are relatively cheap given they have 2 wounds and 12″, AP-1 autohit weapons. Taken in large units they can be pretty nasty when paired with the Flames of Mutation Stratagem from Engine War and they’re decent for performing actions like Raise the Banners High. Warp Rifts will be familiar to anyone who used daemonic deepstrike shenanigans in 9th Edition, although those shenanigans are returning in a simplified and generally weaker form. Warp Rifts means that whenever you are set up wholly within your army’s Shadow Of Chaos using the Deep Strike rule, you can set up 6” away from the enemy instead of 9” away. The Feculent Gnarlmaw is the only option really worth discussing here; those went up 10 points and per the Daemons FAQ now give Light cover, plus an extra +1 to save rolls.

Codex: Chaos Daemons 9th Edition – The Goonhammer Review

Chaos Knights are fear incarnate, Harbingers of Dread who impose an aura of sheer terror wherever they tread. Unlike their Imperial counterparts,* they couldn’t care less for the tenets of honour, instead taking all the glory and slaughter for themselves – and themselves alone. Before we begin we’d like to thank Games Workshop for providing us with a review copy of the Index for review purposes. Before the battle, if every unit in your army has the DICIPLES OF BE’LAKOR keyword you can generate the psychic powers from any DISCIPLES OF BE’LAKOR PSYKER units from your army from the Noctic discipline instead of from any other discipline, by selecting the psychic powers you wish the psyker to have.edition is here, and with it a whole raft of changes to the factions of Warhammer 40,000. With the Munitorum Field Manual out in the wild and the Faction FAQs released, now’s a good time to start taking a look at what’s changed for all of our favorite armies. Today, Robert “TheChirurgeon” Jones is talking about Chaos Daemons. So there you have it folks, those are the final books for 9th. It’s going to be a coin flip between a Chaos Daemon book and the Astra Militarum — but the end is in sight. Or – for just one Command point – you can unleash your rage in combat to get an extra pile-in before your foe can find their footing. DISCIPLES OF BE’LAKOR CHARACTER units do not gain a Daemonic Locus, but instead gain the Locus of Shadows ability described below.

Tzeentch model with rod of sorcery of staff of change only. Add 1 to the bearer’s Psychic tests whenever it attempts to manifest Smite. It’s time to put this into practice. Let’s build some daemons lists we can start playing with. Slaanesh and Nurgle Nurgle model only. Enemy units must subtract 1 from their Leadership whilst they are within 7″ of the bearer.Supreme Command” was added to the list of LEGIONES DAEMONICA Detachments that are excluded from Warp Storm Effects to explicitly ensure that Be’lakor in a Supreme Command Detachment did not gain access to the effects of every Chaos God. Multiple entries were updated with explicit wording Tomorrow brings the rest of the Imperium, with the Xenos factions and the first Munitorum Field Manual (which contains all the points) of the new edition arriving later in the week. Use this Stratagem at the end of any phase except the Morale phase. Select one NURGLING unit from your army. Roll one D6 for each model in that unit that was destroyed that phase. For each roll of 5+, return one destroyed model to that unit with all of its wounds remaining, placing them in unit coherency (if a model cannot be placed in this way, it is not returned to the battlefield). Use this at the start of any Fight phase. Select Khorne Daemon Character from your army – until the end of the phase you can re-roll failed hit rolls made for friendly Khorne Daemon units within 6″ of that model. If your army is led by a Warlord with the TZEENTCH DAEMON Faction keywords, you can give one of the following Hellforged Artefacts to an EXALTED LORD OF CHANGE model from your army, instead of giving them a Hellforged Artefact from another source.

Use this at the start of the Morale phase. Select one DAEMONIC DISCIPLES unit from your army that is within 6? of a friendly LEGION DISCIPLES unit excluding VEHICLE units. Until the end of the phase, each time that DAEMONIC DISCIPLES unit takes a Morale test, it is automatically passed and you count as having passed that test with an unmodified roll of a 1. HQ: Lord of Change w/Baleful Sword Exalted (-1 CP), Powers: Infernal Gateway, Bolt of Change, Gaze of Fate Screamers are worth looking into as well. Their points increase was minor, and they combine fast movement with a 4+ invulnerable save and the ability to hurt Infantry and Vehicles now thanks to Lamprey Bite.Holding his newly-acquired severed heads aloft, this iconic Herald of Khorne inspires lesser daemons to put their nose to the (skull)grindstone. His Lord of Decapitations ability allows him to boost the frenzied accuracy of a BLOODLETTERS unit within 6″… then 9″… then 12″. There’s no escape! This is a bigger deal for competitive play than casual, but previously many rules such as Psychic powers, add-on Warlord Traits and Relics, and using stratagems that Exalt your Greater Daemons were done at the start of the game, after you’d seen your opponent’s list, allowing you a chance to respond to what they were bringing. That’s not the case anymore, meaning that we have to be much more laser-focused with our pre-game strategy, and it means that a lot of traits and powers that we’d have used conditionally now just aren’t likely to make it into our lists. Note that if you’re rolling for random Exalted traits for your Greater Daemons, those rolls happen before you make decisions about placing units in Reserves. Army Construction If your army is led by a Warlord with the SLAANESH DAEMON Faction keywords, you can give one of the following Hellforged Artefacts to an EXALTED KEEPER OF SECRETS model from your army, instead of giving them a Hellforged Artefacts from another source.
