New Warhammer 40k Chaos Daemons rules rumors are here for Nurgle, Tzeentch, and Slaanesh Psychic Powers and disciplines.
Please keep in mind that all of this is pure speculation. It is worth noting that GW supposedly recently “fired” some of its playtester pool recently who were thought responsible for leaking rules. However, the information-sharing policy is supposedly okay once it is leaked.
Regardless here are the latest Chaos Daemons rules rumors and leaks with a look at the official preview by GW first!
Chaos Daemons Codex Art & Details Revealed By GW!
There’s another ever-present threat lurking just behind the material veil. Gibbering, bloodthirsty legions of daemons claw at the walls of existence, taking advantage of any tear in realspace to manifest plagues and curses, tempt mortal souls, and slaughter untold millions. All it takes to invite devastation is one ill-considered ritual drawn from a blasphemous grimoire… speaking of which, Codex: Chaos Daemons is on the way.
As we said, there weren’t too many rumors floating around about when this would actually come out. Maybe that’s because it was basically next in line! Also, we’re not sure if many new minis will come with the book, but we expect at least one new character model.
However, they don’t give an exact date as of yet.
The warp-wrought children of the Chaos Gods are bursting out of the immaterium with a 152-page tome packed with eldritch esoterica, forbidden daemonology, and in-depth rules for games of Warhammer 40,000. There are more ways than ever to bend the mortal plane to your will, thanks to 56 datasheets split between the four Chaos Gods – and Be’lakor, with his very own Army of Renown – alongside 25 Warlord Traits, 24 Relics, 36 Stratagems, and a profane slate of psychic powers for all.
The book will be quite large and, from the looks of it, plenty for every Chaos god!
RUMORS: New 40k Chaos Daemons Psychic Powers Rules
These rumors come from Bolter&Chainsword and are pretty interesting. Keep in mind they are still just rumors until verified…
Here’s some insight into psychic goodness from our daemonic friends.
A few tidbits:
Treason of Tzeentch has an entirely new purpose. No more mind controlling your opponents unit/model to fight for you. It’s now an effect that exists elsewhere in the game but isn’t terribly common.
The gaze of Fate is no longer a free reroll but now interacts with Warp Storm Points interestingly.
The Slaanesh discipline is (IMHO) almost all good stuff. Fighting in the psychic phase is gone, but most of these spells have a time and a place they want to be used.
Khorne obviously does not have psychic powers.
That said, here’s a brief sampling from Tzeentch and Slaanesh (edit: and Nurgle). Please note again that the wording on some of these is not final, and we may see changes between now and the release.
So besides Khorne, already some big changes coming in the Daeoms codex, it looks like. No word if Nurgle will still get it’s -1 to hit spell that is extremely useful.
Tzeentch Psychic Powers:
Two Tzeentch Spells
Bolt of Change (7): Choose a unit within 12″ and visible to the caster, roll 9d6. Each 5+ is a mortal, for each model killed that unit takes an additional mortal wound.
Infernal Gateway (8): The closest enemy within 12″ and every enemy within 3″ of them takes d3 mortals. On a 12+ they all take 3mw.
Slaanesh Psychic Powers:
Two Slaanesh Spells
Symphony of Pain (7): Choose a visible enemy unit within 18″, they have -1 to hit and -1 to wound in melee
Hysterical Frenzy (7): Slaanesh CORE unit within 18″ gets +1A and exploding 6s in melee.
Nurgle Psychic Powers:
Two Nurgle Spells
Nurgle’s Rot (7): Roll 2d6 for each enemy unit within 6″ – if you beat their toughness, they take d3 mortals. If you double their toughness, they take d6 mw.
Miasma of Pestilence (8): Pick an enemy unit within 18″, it cannot perform actions, any actions it is currently performing fail, and it loses obsec.”
