Helbrute • Ferrum Infernus Dreadnought • Chaos Contemptor Pattern Dreadnought • Sonic Dreadnought • Berserker Dreadnought • Leviathan Dreadnought Corrupt Realspace is simple but effective, letting you retain control of an objective until an opponent controls it, even if you walk away from it. It also makes the area of the board within 6” of the objective market part of the Shadow Of Chaos. Warp Surge lets any Daemon unit advance and still charge, with the restriction that you have to be in the Shadow Of Chaos when you start your charge. The Realm Of Chaos lets any Daemon unit (or two units if they are both in the Shadow Of Chaos) leave the battlefield at the end of the opponent’s turn, returning to Deep Strike during your following turn. This isn’t the flashiest stratagem, but has a ton of versatility and on that I expect good players to use often. this helps you generate even more Fate Points and gives the Kairic Acolytes a clear niche when compared to the other main Battleline choice in the book, Tzaangors. 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.

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 x40 plastic components that make 10 pairs of Brimstone Horrors of Tzeentch and 10 Blue Horrors of Tzeentch It might work to only get boxes of the Blue/Brims, paint the Blue Horrors varying shades of purple and magnetize Blue & Pink bases as suggested above, but model up the Brims as they come (maybe split a few pairs into 1 Brim per base to get more actual bases of Brims) The Keeper of Secrets’ datasheet got updated again, returning the unit to its rightful 14″ Movement.Hosts Duplicitous - Grand Cabal - Transcendental Change - Hosts Arcanum - Seekers of Infinite Wisdom - Eternal Conflagration - Legion of Fate - Lords of Dominion - Unbound Flux

Point of fact, the Blue Horrors are still a tinsy bit bigger than the old metal Pink Horrors. Since those metal Pinks are still a vaild model to use, painting some of the new Blues pink is perfectly fine Dust-Gargant • Ghurish Gargant • Mason-Gargant • Mega-Gargant • Mere-Gargant • Moss Gargant • Sky-Titan • Storm Gargant • Ulguan Gargant Daemon Prince • Familiar • Fury • Khornate ( Bloodletter • Bloodthirster) • Nurglite ( Great Unclean One • Nurgling • Plaguebearer) • Slaaneshi ( Daemonette • Keeper of Secrets) • Soul Grinder • Tzeentchian ( Gaunt Summoner • Horror of Tzeentch • Lord of Change) • Verminlord Daemon Prince • Furies • Soul Grinder • Daemon Engine • Daemonic Herald • Chaos Spawn • Chaos Beast • Mutalith Vortex Beast • Brute • Shrike • Behemoth • ImpWarp Rifts is a powerful rule on the surface, and combos incredibly well with some of the charge bonuses Daemons have access to. With many units having +1 to Charge or access to Charge rerolls of some sort, Daemons will be one of the few armies in the game with reliable deepstrike charges. But otherwise, I think you are right about the ratios. If only taking 1-2 unit of Pinks, do the correct 1:2 ratio of Pink:Blue and 1:1 ratio of Blue:Brim Spartan Assault Tank • Fellblade • Decimator • Typhon Heavy Siege Tank • Lord of Skulls • Death Wheel • Plaguereaper • Plagueburst Crawler • Silver Tower of Tzeentch Blue Horrors, also called " Spinning Sourguts," and " Grumblers," are diminutive replicas of their parent Daemon, though their temperament is quite different. They are sullen and malicious, like evil-tempered children, and wear perpetual scowls as they sneer and grumble their way through a battle.

Finally there’s Warpcraft, which focuses on Pyskers. Although Daemons have cheap Psykers and the ability to take more thanks to Horrors, Psychic Actions can only be done by CHARACTERS, and because those are all in the HQ slot and powerful units, you’ll want them casting psychic powers and smiting rather than spending their psychic phases on actions. The big downside here is Abhor the Witch, which is going to be used against you in almost every game you come up against an army with no psykers, and will typically be combined with Assassinate/Bring It Down to make each Greater Daemon kill worth an insane 8 Victory Points, and that’s for killing a unit that can’t be protected by Look Out, Sir and was already part of your opponent’s game plan. It’s not quite reason enough to not take Greater Daemons, but it makes taking exactly three of them kind of awkward, meaning you may want to conisder going all in and bringing more (or other big things). Use a Herald of Tzeentch or other suitable sorcerous companion to cast Sacrifice, choosing one of the Horrors as the victim. For Example: 40 Pinks would probably never split to more than 50-60 Blues before some of those Blues get further split to Brims Basically, turning 20 Pinks into 160 Brims is so ridiculously unlikely that anyone planning for this is going to be disappointed. Opponent’s Deployment Zone: If you control at least half of the objective markers in your opponent’s deployment zone, then his/her deployment zone is considered within the Shadow Of Chaos.My personal favorite is the Endless Gift . The Endless Gift gives the bearer a 5+ Feel No Pain that becomes a 4+ Feel No Pain while they are within the Shadow Of Chaos. The Grandfather has truly given us a special gift with this Enhancement. FA: Chaos Spawn [6 PL, 69pts, -1CP]: Chaos Spawn, Chaos Spawn, Chaos Spawn, Contaminated Monstrosity (-1 CP) The Guild of Summoners are one of the most unusual sub-factions in the book. These crazed cultists can’t actually summon anything other than Lords of Change – but their first only costs a mere 9 Fate Points. In practice, this means that only 9 spells need to be cast, anywhere on the table, for you to get a massive boost in battle – an incredible counter to magic-heavy forces.

Tzeentch armies can also now be customised to serve a variety of Change Covens, representing the myriad daemonic hosts and hidden cults that worship the Changer of Ways. HS: Plagueburst Crawler [8 PL, 160pts, -1CP]: 2x Entropy cannon, Heavy slugger, Accelerated Entropy (-1 CP) Soul Grinders are the real deal, getting to choose from 1 of 4 special shooting loadouts depending on their God mark. The most intriguing option is Nurgle’s Phlegm Bombardment, which has Indirect Fire to clear out objectives that you can’t get to with your melee units. It also gained the Scuttling Walker rule to walk over friendly Monsters/Vehicles and terrain less than 4” in height. This is very situational, but is still cool.The Stratagems in Index: Chaos Daemons are a complete success, adding both flavor and power to our daemonic arsenals. They cover a wide variety of scenarios, and you’ll end up using (or at least thinking about using) every one of them every single game. The best part is that every single stratagem costs just 1CP, meaning you’re going to have plenty of good choices available to you every turn. The Shadow Of Chaos is a thematic army rule, based around the idea of Daemons reshaping realspace into a terrifying mirror image of the Warp. While the Shadow Of Chaos doesn’t innately do anything, it synergizes with all sorts of other rules in the codex, and is a key part of how this army will function in 10th Edition. The Shadow Of Chaos can be divided into 3 areas of the battlefield: B) I highly doubt I would even need the exact ratio of Brimstones, so having a few that are "imitating" their older bros is not only funny, but practical. 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.
