Note: this article was made prior to the December 2019 points update, so some points could have changed there. Value of the Daemons of Slaanesh box I usually like utilizing semi-recent tournament lists but that’s not really possible. There still aren’t a ton of major tournament happening and lists from months ago are mostly invalid due to the point hikes and removal of Malign Sorcery artefacts from Generals Handbook 2020. So I’ll be using tournament lists as reference point and giving credit where credit is due, trying to trim some of the fat off. “Erling”‘s Pretender List A couple of boxes of these serve a great core to a Cities of Sigmar force, and brave converters can take the extra Warden King and convert it into a Runelord for some anti caster potency and buff potential. Essentially models in this unit can pile-in 6″ instead of 3″. This used to be reasonably popular for lists using lots of Seekers (of course) but again due to the combined price hikes for the best Heroes, corners need to be cut elsewhere. A truly iconic Warhammer monster, the Greater Daemons of Tzeentch are called Lords of Change: terrifying, 20-foot-tall hybrids of human, reptile, and bird of prey who walk on their hind legs or fly on huge bird-wings, and channel the warpinto potent psyker spells.

Huge, armored daemonic steeds that look like a cross between a direwolf and a scarlet mechanical bull – sometimes ridden by Bloodletter characters or World Eaters Each box will provide enough conversion bits for many other armies and since you will need plenty of Daemonettes and Seekers you will most likely buy many of these boxes.The Greater Daemons of Slaanesh take the form of the Keepers of Secrets: towering, bull-headed, crab-clawed humanoidchimeras giving off vibes that are 50% satin boudoir, 50% sadistic slaughter. An Exalted Seeker Chariot of Slaanesh, with 4 claw-armed Daemonettes either atop the chariot or riding the horned beasts that pull it; Best of the Best –Reroll wound rolls of 1 while this General is within 6″ of a friendly Slaanesh Hero. A good trait, save for not being allowed to be within 12″ of one of the “secondary” Generals meaning you have to have a fourth Hero around. In many other armies this would be a big ask but in Slaanesh it’s a lot more reasonable B+ The second of the 2 Cities of Sigmar boxes that came out with the Battletome, this time its the chance of the old plastic Dwarves to take the turn in the spotlight. Contents: 1 Tech-priest Dominus (HQ), 10 Skitarii Vanguard/Rangers (Troops), 1 Onager Dunecrawler (Heavy Support)

What are Chaos Daemons?

While thevery first of theWarhammer 40kDaemon Princes was Be’Lakor, the Dark Master (pictured above),they represent a wide range of characters, ranging from comparatively low-ranking princes who’re closer to up-jumped Chaos Space Marine lords, through to demigod-level combatants, such as the daemon primarchs of fallen Space Marine legions: These are mostly popular with Godseeker lists due to wanting to try and char an opponent as fast as possible and don’t see quite so much use in other types of lists. Battleline Daemonettes Assembling the Exalted Chariot leaves also some daemonettes models behind that could be used to assemble or convert other heralds (Viceleader). We’ll be honest: of all the 40k armies to collect, Chaos Daemons are among the more expensive and troublesome to get going with at the moment. Again, changes the Hedonite Host Super Battalion. This one changes it to only require one Hero instead of 3-6. Better, I suppose but you still won’t be using it. Command Traits
