Hosts of the Ruinous Powers
Chaos Daemons
“Blood, Change, Pestilence, Excess”
Beyond the veil of reality churns the Immaterium, a roiling sea of raw emotion and psychic residue given shape by the desires of every sentient creature. From its depths spring the daemons — manifestations of Khorne's fury, Nurgle's decay, Tzeentch's ambition, and Slaanesh's excess, each embodying its patron's nature in claw, wing, and whispering voice. When the veil between realspace and the Warp grows thin, daemonic hosts pour through in howling tides, their forms as mutable as the emotions that birthed them, unbound by the frailties of mortal flesh. To face a Chaos Daemon in battle is to face concentrated wrath given a name, and few mortal armies survive the encounter unscarred in body or soul.
Army Rule
Daemonic Ritual
Each time a unit from your army is destroyed within range of an objective marker you control, roll one D6: on a 4+, you gain 1 CP, representing the daemons' essence returning to the Warp to fuel further incursions.
Locus
Many daemon units have a Locus ability that improves the profiles or grants special abilities to nearby units of the same god, reflecting the will of Khorne, Nurgle, Tzeentch or Slaanesh made manifest.

Blood Legion
Murdercall
The daemons of Khorne are physical manifestations of rage, hate and the desperate need to shed blood. For as long as their physical forms remain in realspace, they will never cease their murderous rampage. In your opponent's movement phase, each time an enemy unit (excluding Aircraft ) ends a move within 8" of one or more Legiones Daemonica Khorne units from your army, one of those Legiones Daemonica Khorne units can make a surge move of up to D6".
Slaughterthirst (Aura)
25 ptsThis servant of Khorne is a walking nexus of bloodthirst, its mere presence whetting the keen edges of daemonic blades and appetites alike for slaughter. Legiones Daemonica Khorne model only. While a friendly Legiones Daemonica Khorne unit (excluding Monsters ) is within 6" of the bearer, weapons equipped by models in that unit have the [LANCE] ability.
Fury's Cage
cost per official appThe Bloodthirster bound within this weapon offers the wielder immense power but seeks every way to turn its towering wrath upon its jailer. Legiones Daemonica Khorne Monster model only. Each time the bearer is selected to fight, it can use this Enhancement. If it does, the bearer suffers D3+1 mortal wounds, and until the end of the phase, each time it makes an attack, you can re-roll the Hit roll and you can re-roll the Wound roll.
Brazenmaw
15 ptsThis daemon's maw and throat are forged from burning brass, transforming its war cries into a deafening clarion that calls the Blood Legion to war. Legiones Daemonica Khorne model only. Add 2 to Charge rolls made for the bearer's unit.
Gateway Unto Damnation
10 ptsConcealed within this daemon's form is a portal into the depths of Khorne's realm. Anointed with gore and thrown wide by the daemon's corporeal demise, it expands like a bloody singularity to drag everything in reach into the screaming maelstrom of the Warp. Legiones Daemonica Khorne Monster model only. The bearer's Deadly Demise ability inflicts mortal wounds on a D6 roll of 2+ instead of on a 6. In addition, if the bearer has destroyed one or more enemy units this battle, the bearer has the Deadly Demise D3+3 ability, instead of any other Deadly Demise ability on its datasheet.
Scintillating Legion
Fates in Flux
With every chance for change seized, every new fraying of fate's weave, the daemons and their foes alike fuel the power of Tzeentch, however inadvertently. You start the battle with three Flux tokens (we recommend using a dice to track how many Flux tokens you have). You can spend one Flux token just after an Advance roll, Hit roll, Wound roll, Damage roll, saving throw or Hazardous test is made for a Legiones Daemonica Tzeentch model or Legiones Daemonica Tzeentch unit from your army to re-roll the result of that roll, throw or test. Flux tokens can also be spent to enhance the effect of some Stratagems. Each time you spend a Flux token, reduce the number of Flux tokens you have by one and your opponent gains one Flux token. Whenever your opponent has one or more Flux tokens, they can spend one Flux token after an Advance roll, Hit roll, Wound roll or saving throw is made for a model or unit from their army, to re-roll the result of that roll or throw. If they do, they reduce the number of Flux tokens they have by one and you gain one Flux token. This is ignored if your opponent has the Fates in Flux Detachment rule. In your Command phase, if your opponent has one or more Flux tokens, you gain one Flux token. Designer's Note: When using fast dice rolling, this rule can be used to spend any number of Flux tokens (up to the amount you have), to re-roll a number of dice up to the amount spent, after rolling multiple rolls or saving throws at once.

Plague Legion
Melancholic Miasma
To fight the daemons of Nurgle is to endure their entropic assaults upon both the physical and spiritual battlefields. The horror of inevitable decay claws at the souls of their victims even as the daemons' splintered talons rake their flesh, heralding nightmarish putrefaction and impending doom. While an enemy unit is within 9" of one or more Legiones Daemonica Nurgle units from your army, that enemy unit is within your army's Shadow of Chaos. In each player's Command phase, select one enemy unit within your army's Shadow of Chaos. That unit must take a Battle-shock test.

If it does, one model in that unit is destroyed (chosen by its controlling player). Each time the bearer uses this Enhancement, no mortal wounds are inflicted by your army's Daemonic Terror rule.
Maggot Maws
15 ptsThis daemon's flesh is pocked with foul mouths that mumble curses to rot the minds of all who hear them. Legiones Daemonica Nurgle model only. In your Shooting phase, select one enemy unit within 6" of the bearer; that enemy unit must take a Battle-shock test. Then roll one D6: on a 3+, that enemy unit suffers D3 mortal wounds.

Droning Shroud (Aura)
35 ptsThis sentient cowl of daemonic plague flies roars and whirls with cyclonic force, obscuring even the most hulking and bloated daemonic bearer. Legiones Daemonica Nurgle Monster model only.

Legion of Excess
Beguiling Aura
The daemons of the Dark Prince can bewitch the minds of their foes, appearing in one moment as their true and nightmarish selves and in the next as the object of their foes' most forbidden desires or devoted affections. Enemies are left foundering and bewildered as the daemons weave their sinuous dances around them and trill their nerve-shredding siren songs. Legiones Daemonica Slaanesh units from your army are eligible to declare a charge in a turn in which they Fell Back.
False Majesty (Aura)

Legiones Daemonica Slaanesh model only. While a friendly Legiones Daemonica Slaanesh unit (excluding Monsters ) is within 6" of the bearer, each time a model in that unit makes a melee attack, add 1 to the Hit roll.

Rules digest
How This Force Plays
Our own plain-speech digest of how this force's rules hang together — army rule, detachment choice, command-point economy and roster shape. Written by us, not reproduced from the pack; the official PDF is the only authority on exact wording.
Read the official pack PDFHow the army rule shapes play
Every list in this force answers to Daemonic Ritual, so plan your turns around it rather than treating it as a bonus. A second layer — Locus — lets you tilt the same roster toward a different way of fighting before the first dice are rolled. Exact wording lives in the official pack PDF; the summary here is ours.
Choosing a detachment
You commit to one of 7 detachments (Cavalcade of Chaos, Lords of the Warp, Warptide, Blood Legion, Scintillating Legion, Plague Legion, and more), and that choice locks in both your detachment rule and the 21 enhancements available to your characters. Pick the detachment that matches the units you already own, then buy enhancements last.
Command points and stratagems
There are 34 stratagems on offer, costing between 1 and 2 CP. In a normal game you will bank enough for two or three interventions a turn at most, so decide before deployment which one or two plays you are saving command points for.
Building to a points limit
The roster runs to 55 datasheets. The cheapest entry comes in at 45 points and the most expensive at 390, so a single flagship choice can eat a fifth of a 2,000-point army. Use the list builder to keep the Rule of Three, character limits and your points ceiling honest as you add units.
