Video games Workshop has one thing cooking for the Chaos Daemons. “Just about each unit within the index” has modified which is form of an enormous deal!
That quote isn’t simply me making stuff up. That’s coming instantly from the Warhammer Neighborhood crew. GW has been prepping us with some type of adjustments for the Chaos Daemons when the Emperor’s Kids launched. Now we’re seeing extra adjustments forward.
through Warhammer Neighborhood
” The Chaos Daemons have been up to date throughout the board to extra intently match the Datasheet guidelines present in Codex: Emperor’s Kids, and within the forthcoming Demise Guard, Thousand Sons and World Eaters Codexes.
This has resulted in plenty of adjustments to stat strains and skills to just about each unit within the Index.”
Chaos Daemons Index Replace
We already touched (briefly) on the adjustments to the Chaos Daemons in from the March Stability Dataslate replace. However this one cuts quite a bit deeper. Right here’s a couple of highlights from WarCom:
- Bloodthirsters, Skarbrand and Bloodcrushers all get a 3+ Armour Save
- Daemonettes and Tranceweavers now have Fights First on a regular basis
- Nice Unclean Ones now improve the Toughness of close by Nurgle items
- New skills for Kairos Fateweaver
- Be’lakor’s Datasheet has been overhauled
That’s actually simply the tip of the iceberg. Be’lakor additionally has the Shadow Legion Detachment which lets you combine Daemons and Heretic Astartes collectively as effectively. It’s received further bonuses primarily based on the respective chaos god the items observe in addition to if these followers are mortal or Daemon.
It certain looks as if GW is queuing up for one thing else for the Daemons sooner or later. As a result of they dropped this half, too:
“Index: Chaos Daemons has been expanded to assist among the core narratives of amassing such a military and it is going to be the place the foundations for taking part in your whole daemons collectively exist. Index: Chaos Daemons will be part of Index: Deathwatch as a dwelling on-line doc usable in any recreation of Warhammer 40,000 – together with at tournaments. We plan to proceed to make updates and level adjustments to each forces as required.”
So yeah…it sounds just like the Chaos Daemons are heading to an odd place. Their Index changing into a “dwelling on-line doc” is a robust sign that GW isn’t going to be making a Codex for them anytime quickly. In addition they pulled among the datasheets out of the Index and transfer them over to Legends. The items that received pulled had been as a result of they weren’t in manufacturing.
Whereas this doesn’t sound just like the final hurrah for the Daemons one thing is up. I do marvel if this has to do with Chaos Daemons being the one military you could possibly play in each 40k and AoS. Maybe GW is seeking to drive Daemons to 1 system or the opposite ultimately. For now, the 40k Chaos Daemons are nonetheless getting up to date (at the very least through Index) so you possibly can nonetheless play them. However do marvel what the plan is from GW.
Chaos Daemons by no means actually die. They only go to the warp and hang around for some time…
