More juicy Daemon rumors are hitting today and the overall picture of how they will work now is starting to “materialize”
This post from a German site confirms a lot of current rumors that have been floating around for the past few days, and adds a few more.
We know from the White Dwarf that there is some sort of warp rift that the Daemons have to roll at the start of their shooting phase (and that double 1’s was “bad”), and that seems to be in here as well as the confirmed new Daemonic Instability rule with a new twist.
Check out what box cars and snake eyes gets you for Instability and Warp Stom, very interesting indeed (FYI I think Zerfleischern means Bloodletters).
Fateweaver’s rules seem interesting as well, I cant wait to see if he’s still the same points cost.
I like the additions to the base troops, I imagine they will cost less as well but lose Eternal warrior now. No biggie cause for most games I imagine Plaguebearers will be holding objectives, so shrouded and defensive grenades are great for that as well as T5.
If Daemonettes get an AP boost in combat i.e third edition, then I image that and their +3″ movement will make them great shock troops.
That’s my .02 for this round of rumors. I hope to have lots more to say about the book here soon!
If your looking to get some of the new minis at a great price, head on over to the Spikey Bits’ Advanced Orders section now to lock in your very own Daemons miniatures!

He and his staff can throw a single die per Spielerzug new. by 2D6, 3D6, etc. litters, which may not always only one dice are rolled again.
The Blue Scholars are not psykers, but can be used without Psitest one determined by dice psychic power from the main rules.

Furthermore you count also Wounds that have been prevented by something other than a union protection (eg ignore injury or resuscitation protocols). At the beginning of each of your turns you konsultierst the table. All demons of Nurgle in the units are received within 6 “to Epidemus the bonuses (cumulative):

Keeper of Secrets has nemesis Elder & Darkeldar. And PSI1 from telepathy and excesses.
The mask is repeated each failed save. The mask has different dances.
There CHAOS FURIES.
Flame weapons of Tzeentch:
Warpflammen have all the special rule. AT the end of each phase in the course of which a unit has suffered at least one non verhinderen Lepun*****tverlust through something like that, they must pass a resistance test. They blew this, she suffers more W3 wounds without allowing elm or Decker. There they him, she receives injury ignore (6 +), if it has already ignore injury, it is improved by +1.

Ghost Raider Sword (Slaanesh): models suffer a life point loss is not prevented by this weapon must pass an initiative test or they lose another life point, against which no elm or Decker are allowed.
Many character models are not directly buy equipment, but small, powerful or sublime rewards for certain points. What is then the reward is determined by chance (W6). This is done at the time in which the talent of the warlords is determined. Rewards may not be duplicated in the army, but a model must always have different. Repeats a result, roll, until another comes. One can then ever a single REWARDS (small, powerful, and / or elevated) of a character model to replace with 0. That would be magic weapon, powerful magical weapon and hell forged artifact.
Small rewards:
0 Magic Weapon: Demon ether blade (DS2, Masterful, Special Weapon), demon of Khorne gets sustaining an ax of Khorne, Daemon of Tzeentch a wand of change, demon of Nurgle a plague Flegel and demon of Slaanesh a spirit Rüber sword.
Then pulls the by then. We’ll see if I abtippe all the rewards yet. There are certainly really nice stuff there.
Skarbrand or Bloodthirster make Daemon Prince of Khorne support selections instead HQ.
Kairos or Lord of Change make Daemon Prince of Tzeentch support selections instead HQ.
Ku’Gath or Great Unclean make Daemon Prince of Nurgle support selections instead HQ.
Keeper of Secrets makes Daemon Prince of Slaanesh support selections instead HQ.
Daemon Prince naked costs points. He must become a demon of a deity:
Khorne
Tzeentch
Nurgle
Slaanesh
allowed to be flying monstrous creature
may select up to to demonic rewards in any combination:
small reward each
mighty reward depending
sublime Belohhnung per 3
Daemon Prince, which do not belong to Khorne may be psykers:
Psi1
Psi2
Psi3
Heralds are still depending only half HQ space. Heralds have presences official amount that can be upgraded and bring the unit bonuses.
Icons can be improved for one-off effects and instruments can get more units out of the reserve and the unpleasant results on Warpsturmtabelle favor of demons weaken by re-rolls.
