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.
