Looks like we just got a stealth FAQ this morning about 40k Daemons.
Apparently there was an ommision from the latest Daemon White Dwarf update, and GW lept in to correct it.
Remember this was the White Dwarf that was rumored to be “moved up” to precede the Chaos Space Marine Release instead of follow it (see my ramblings about it here).
Regardless we now have some clarification on an army that quickly seems to be filling the meta for sixth edition 40k.
Daemons got you down? More on that soon!
