Chaos Daemons army book rumours

[Sylass]

This is what you get when you decide to leave lokigod and the upcoming Daemon army book in the same room for 20 minutes.

Condensed from my previous posts at daemonic legion web site, and what I gleaned from 20 mins with the new book

Army rules
+5 True ward no requirements that I saw
Daemons no longer poof they crumble

Lords (get 75 to 100 points of gifts if I remember right)
All greater daemons range between 400 and 450 points
Thirster - 7 at and nice ws and str
LOC - didn’t look
GUO- w 10, str 6, t6, at 4, mv 6 you can make him lvl 4 wizard for 120 more points starts as lvl 1
KOS mv 10 nice stats
Daemon prince- 300 points and can be marked for 35 points, same stats almost as hoc version
Named greater daemons(the ones I can remember)
Named guo- ability is to throw nurglings like stone thrower always wounds on +2 and allows no armour saves, only 1 wound per target under template
Named blood thirster type hero (has frenzy and this is only frenzy I saw in the book)
Named lord of change (has access to 8 spells but is only lvl 4 in dice generation)

Heros(50 points of gifts)(can have banners for +25 points)
Heralds give special effects to units, around 100 to 115 points , stats varied depending on god
Locus of khorne = hatred
Locus of tzeentch = +4 ward save/ herald of tzeentch is also lvl 2 mage, disc is +20 points, stats for combat are ws 3 str 3
Locus of slaanesh = ASF/ can be upgraded as wizard
Locus of nurgle regeneration/ can be upgraded as wizard,
Named heralds(the ones I can remember)
Epidimus nurgle - he gives you special abilities army wide for kills made by poison
Skull taker khorne- killing blow on +5 anything
Tzeentch herald - cool effect - get one power dice for every spell your enemy casts in his magic phase
All I remember sorry

Core(all core is 12 points)
Blood letters- mv 5,ws 5, str 6, at 1, t3, killing blow
Plague bearers - no longer have cloud of flies, but are t4 and poison attacks
Horrors-as previous stated get better spells with unit size) stats like a human
Daemonettes - mv 6, ws 5, str 3, t3, at 2, armour piercing
Furries- cant remember if there special or core, str 4, at 1, ld 2

Special all specials are +30 points apiece
Nurglings - ws 3,str3,at 3, w 3 scout and skirmish poison attacks
Screamers
Flesh hounds ws5,str5,w2,mv 8 magic resistance 1
Cant remember slaanesh one

Rare
Crushers- rider gets ws 5 str 6 at 2/ mount gets ws 5 str 5 at2, +3 to riders save from mount, mv 7 I think! Can have command
Beasts- d6+1 at, ws4, t4(I think), poisoned

Fiends - str 4 at 4 mv 10 aura of slaanesh- enemy makes break test on 3 dice and discards lowest

Chariots are for heralds only if I remember right
Chariot of khorne - str 5 impact hits juger has ws 5 str 5 2 a
Chariot of tzeentch - fly str 4 imapct hits
Chariot of slaanesh- mv 10 str 5 impact hits
Magic
we have accesses to metal now
Nurgle lore -
Spell 1(cast on +3) - unit in baes to base with char red it str, ws, and like 3 other things to 1.…. Not reduced by one I mean all the way to 1
Spell 2 - flame template everything under it take toughness test or dies

Tzeentch lore
Gleen magic is true
Spell gives d3 dice to caster only to him though
Last spell is +13 and does 2dr str 5 attacks and turn them to horrors forgot rest

Daemonic gifts and banners (there are 8+ banners now and lot are god specific)

Banners
3d6 str 3 magic missile 25 points
All wounds from poison attacks from unit count double for combat res 25 points
+d6 movement first charge
+d3 to combat res I think its 25 points
Power lvl 5 all things in 12 inches take d6 str 6 hits 75 points
3 dice on break test remove lowest
Stubborn on first break test 25 points
All daemons within 12 inches are stubborn 125 points

Daemonic gifts(gifts range from 75 to 15 points)
2 full pages of gifts and banners… also the lords and heros profiles tell what gifts they can have to reduce confusion. They seem priced just right for there effects!
2D6+2 attacks for 50 points/ note this replaces normal attacks
+2 attacks- name is many arms
Sword does d6 wounds for every wound no armour saves 70 points
Armour +3 save and makes all magic weapons in base non magical 50 points
Gift that gives you char str 10
Spell breaker same cost and effect
Tzeentch will same effect
A gift that gives access to any lore in brb and you know all spells from lore 25 points

[...]

Confirmed Daemon Lore of Tzeentch

with the book open in front of me here is the lore

Flickering Fire of Tzeentch 4+
Magic Missile 18" D6+1 hits at Str D6+1

Boon of Tzeentch 3+
the caster gains D3+1 power dice. Other wizards may not use these dice.

Glean Magic 7+
may be cast on single enemy wizard visible to caster. You may immediately cast one of that wizards spells as if it were his own. the spell is auto cast at its base casting level. Spells that summon new units may not be cast in this way.

Gift of Chaos 9+ each enemy unit (even in CC) within 12" suffers d6 Str d6 hits

Bolt of Change 12+
Magic missle range 18" 2d6 Str D6+4

Tzeentch Firestorm 13+
Magic Missle with range 24", causes 2d6 Str 5 hits. Every 3 unsaved wounds creates a new Horror. These form a new unit worth 50vps. Withing 3" of old unit.


This is the lore not a guess.

Thanks to Varath- Lord Impaler for a summary of all the recent daemonic rumours...

[...]

Lords
- Greater daemons are supposedly more modifiable than currently, more resembling how they were in 5th edition. It is possible that the basic ones are weaker than currently, to make them more useable in smaller battles (i.e. at or just above 2k), but that they can be significantly improved, similar to the new Vampire Lord can be.
- It is probably not possible to buy outright stat boosts (+1 WS, S, etc.), if previous army books are anything to go by.
- Greater Daemons stat line is rumoured to have 5 wounds across the board, with a 5+ Ward.
- Rumours that Greater Daemons will go on bases four times as big as currently are nonsense. The models stay as they currently are.

Special characters
- Note that the special characters are the same in both the 40K and the Fantasy lists, though naturally their stats and exact abilities may differ somewhat.
- Original rumour that there were 12 special characters appears to have been wrong. Possibly the source meant "a dozen", meaning "a whole lot" rather than "exactly twelve".
- Another reason for the high number of special characters is probably to get more variation into god-specific lists, who would otherwise look pretty much identical

Fateweaver, the Oracle of Tzeentch (Greater Daemon of Tzeentch)
- Model has two heads
- Knows all Tzeentch spells and each head also knows 4 spells from any of the lores (in the rulebook?)

Skarbrand, the Exiled One (Greater Daemon of Chaos Undivided)

- Skarbrand M8 WS10 BS0 S6 T6 W5 I10 A7(8) Ld9 655 pts. The additional attack is either from his being frenzied or from his special weapons.
- has Hatred, and ALL models (friend and foe alike) have Hatred!
- Otherwise very similar to a Bloodthirster statwise but without any Khornate gifts. Possibly he was exiled by Khorne and had his wings cut off.
