RUMORS: New Daemons 40k Codex Be’lakor Rules

rumors-chaos-daemons-40k-rules-codexNew Be’lakor 40k Daemons Codex rules rumors have been spotted; check out what may be changing with the dark master!

Please remember that all of this is pure speculation (even though some of these are from people who said they have seen the new physical codex). 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!

Chaos Daemons

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.

daemons codex

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 Daemons 40k Codex Be’lakor Rules

These leaks come from Wallace on YouTube.

Be'lakor Deamon RulesWith this in mind, you can tell they wrote his previous datasheet as nothing changed too much. However, he should be really tough now with a 4+/4+ (yes, we know that’s actually worse from shooting than a horror) unmodifiable save.

Be'lakor Deamon Rules 2He still has tons of great special rules however, nothing he has works on vehicles, which is just interesting. With his unmodifiable save, a minus to hit, never re-rolling, Toughness 7, 20 Wounds, and -1 Damage against ranged attacks, he will be really hard to take down with shooting.

It also looks like you still won’t be able to take other Daemon Princes with him, but that makes sense.

Be'lakor Deamon Rules 3This is probably the biggest change, you can take advantage of all of these without the restrictions now! So, you just get all the bonuses and don’t have to take a restrictive list.

So now you can just deepstrike a unit, make a unit that can’t be targeted, and all kinds of stuff.  This huge change will make him more flexible and viable in all kinds of lists.

Here’s all the latest on the upcoming rules updates and points changes for Warhammer 40k.
