Daemons of

Chaos
“Here be Daemons”.
By Leth Shyish’phak.
 Army Special Rules:
The following rules either affect several different units, or the entire army in the case of
Eternal Enemies and Daemon. Mounts will not benefit from the following rules unless they
have the rule themselves.

Marks of Chaos:
 The Mark of Khorne: The model has Magic Resistance (2) and the Frenzy special rule and
will not lose it if beaten in close combat. In the opponent’s magic phase, each character with
this Mark will generate a dispel dice. In addition, if the army includes any characters with
the Mark of Khorne, friendly wizards may not add their wizard level to any dispel rolls. If the
army includes a Bloodthirster, no wizard on the battlefield may add their wizard level to any
casting or dispel rolls.
 The Mark of Tzeentch: The model gains a 6+ ward save and will also receive a +1 bonus to
any other ward save that it may have. If the model is a wizard, it will roll an additional dice
when attempting to channel in your magic phase and will receive an additional +1 to cast.
For every unit and character in your army with this mark, you receive one re-roll which may
be used at any point throughout the game; each of these re-rolls may only be used once,
although more than one can be used at the same time (but a re-roll still cannot be re-rolled
again); if a dice is part of a 2D6, 3D6, etc roll then you may choose which dice to re-roll;
these re-rolls can only be used on dice which are rolled on behalf of one of your
models/units that has the Mark of Tzeentch.
 The Mark of Nurgle: The model gains the Poisoned Attacks special rule and enemy models
receive a -1 to hit penalty when attacking or shooting at any model(s) with this mark.
 The Mark of Slaanesh: The model is immune to the effects of Panic, Fear and Terror. At the
start of each close combat phase, every enemy unit in base contact with one or more
models with this mark must take a leadership test, if the test is failed then the unit may not
attack that turn. Any enemy units in base contact with one or more characters with this
mark suffer a -1 penalty to their leadership value.
 The Mark of Chaos Undivided: The model counts as having all four of the other Marks of
Chaos. Whenever a Daemonic Gift states that it may not be taken by a Model with the Mark
of Khorne, it may still be taken by a model with the Mark of Chaos Undivided.

Eternal Enemies: A unit may not contain models that have different Marks of Chaos.

Daemon: A model with this rule is Unbreakable, causes Fear, has Magical Attacks and a 5+
Ward Save. Whenever a unit with this rule loses a round of combat, it must take a
leadership test; add the amount that it lost the combat by to the result of the leadership
test and then subtract the unit’s leadership value; the final result is the amount of wounds
that the unit then suffers with no saves allowed. If the unit is somehow Steadfast, then do
not add the amount that it lost combat by. Wounds caused in this way must be allocated to
rank and file models before champions, and to champions before characters if possible.

Chaos Magic and Daemonic Gifts: See: Warriors of Chaos.

Summoned Daemons: Daemons tend to be seen most often among the armies of their
mortal worshippers. To represent this, a Warriors of Chaos or Beasts of Chaos army may
take up to a third of its points from the Daemons of Chaos army list. Daemons taken in this
way have all of their normal options and will count as a part of the army in all respects
(including minimum core, maximum special, etc). The only models which may not be taken
in this manner are Daemon Princes and a Herald with the battle standard.
