Manifestation Rules: Summoning is gone but in its place Daemons get the ability to be put into reserves and then deep strike onto the battlefield.The Crusade rules in this book are really cool, and as usual we’ll be covering them on Tuesday – so stay tuned! The Five Best Things About This Book An updated Army of Renown for Be’lakor which allows you to combine Daemons, Chaos Space Marines, and Chaos Knights under the banner of the Dark Prince.Crusade rules for participating in the Great Game between the Chaos Gods, and earning the rewards that come from it.Relics, Warlord Traits, and Psychic powers for the minions of each of the Chaos Gods.Datasheets for Daemon units of every god, plus three which are unaligned.Rules for playing with Chaos Daemons, both standalone armies and as allies to other Chaos forces.And while they can be a standalone force, they also work well with Chaos Space Marines – you can supplement your mortal forces with daemonic legions for a fluffy force that can shore up the weaknesses of each army… at a cost. Because they lack guns and similar technology, daemons tend to focus more on melee combat and psychic powers (though they aren’t completely helpless with ranged attacks – many can throw fire or spit all manner of foulness). The ruinous powers of the four Chaos Gods don’t rely on mortals for everything – they’ve got their own legions of daemonic servants, frightening entities who invade realspace to wreak havoc on the mortal realms. We’re also joined today by Michael Pestilens, known Daemons expert and creator/author of Warphammer.


But was the wait worth it?īefore we dive in, we’d like to thank Games Workshop for providing us with a preview copy of the book for review purposes. So if you’re a daemons player, rejoice – the long wait is finally over. Daemons have had an up-and-down relationship with 9th edition they started off incredibly strong before the release of Drukhari, but over the last year and a half have fallen off hard as their rules have continually shown their age more and more – right now Daemons are the only faction in the game incapable of getting a second warlord trait. Our long march through the 9th edition codex release schedule seems to be nearing its end as Games Workshop sets up for their next release, Codex: Chaos Daemons.
