Panzer Posted November 15, 2017 Author Share Posted November 15, 2017 Unique herald auras would be nice but tbh I quite like the +1S on Slaanesh units so I hope that one stays. :D Kierdale and Blackarmor_redtruth 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plaguecaster Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 I wonder if they will limit the mixed daemon abilities/ rules in the new codex as though heaps of chaos stuff has the daemon Keyword will GW stop the non Chaos Daemon units from benefiting from the new strategems relics etc by adding a new keyword since they are still a seperate faction even if they don't actually have a faction keyword Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Posted November 18, 2017 Author Share Posted November 18, 2017 I don't think they will do anything like that. That's basically the point of sharing keywords across different Codexes. Commissar K. 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plaguecaster Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 (edited) I think you are misunderstanding me (probably my fault) Strategems, relics and army traits etc generally are always limited to the faction in question like if f include raptors or Havocs in a in a DG force it is no longer considered a DG dettachment so I lose acces to the army rule plus I can't use the strategems. what I'm curious is will this be the case if I want to include Obliterators or bloat drones because yes they have the daemons Keyword but they won't be from the same faction. That's what I'm getting at, they are getting a codex so they are a completely seperate faction the same way CSM are to DG otherwise what's stopping you fielding an entire Dettachment where all the units in it share the daemon Keyword but are not even from the Chaos Daemons codex Still gaining access to relics, strategems and army rules Edited November 18, 2017 by Plaguecaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackarmor_redtruth Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 (edited) Okay, so the FLG Signals video cast at time 31:44 they say "the demon codex is a gigantic change from the index"... I'm hyped? What could it be? Huge swings in points/stats/strategems/stuffs??!!!

Mmh I still don't think they'll do that. The DG Codex which is arguably the most nurgly thing you can take apart from nurgle daemons himself has the nurgle daemon units listed in the Codex but would lose access to the DG specific things if you were to take one of the daemon untis in the same detachments. It's not exactly the same thing you are talking about but close enough to draw that conclusion for me. Anyway, the Daemon Codex is probably the one I'm looking forward to the most, not because I have a Daemon army (they are still only planned as auxiliary for my Slaanesh Marines) but because it's so different compared to the other factions and I want to see what GW is doing with them.

No pictures though! Can confirm a new Great Unclean One model, Horticulous Slimux is in there and some kind of new Nurgle demon I have never seen before. The GUO is very similar in size to the Forgeworld version. The New demon was similar to plaguebearers in height but a lot bulkier. Only one too, so could be a new character/herald? Didn't get a long look before being ushered away!" First set of rumours Edited November 27, 2017 by DeStinyFiSh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Res Ipsa Loquitur Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 "Horticulous Slimux" is vastly less forgiveable than anything Mat Ward ever came up with.

Plaguecaster Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 (edited) I would love new Nurgle models but that rumour sounds way too good to be true, a huge event like open day and only one person managed a sneaky look conviently seeing brand new models revealed on the back of a codex but then again I am a cynic who would love to be proved wrong as getting the snail rider in 40K would be awesome Edited November 28, 2017 by Plaguecaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would make sense, if I collect World Eaters. But I can use daemon with my Black Legion only with their Codex probably. But I like the idea. Khorne daemon's probably will become more popular with World Eater's release x) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warpmiss Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 So, I have a n00b question, sorry: is this codex useful for a CSM and DG player? I'm guessing a detachment of daemons not included in the CSM/DG Codex would be nice. Or at least, a GUO for my DG seems like something I'd like.

It's up to you decide whether you want Daemons in your list or not. It's also kinda hard to say on a general level since we obviously don't know how the Codex will turn out in january. ^^ But in terms of building a strong list list, then it probably won't help you much currently. CSM + Daemons aren't really stronger than CSM on their own. Same with DG. Chaos soup lists with FW Maleficient Lords, some CSM and Tzeentch Daemon spam used to be a thing on tournaments but after the point changes and GW saying they want to do something about Smite spam it's not really fair to recommend building such a list anymore imo. tl;dr Impossible to say without the Codex being released and without knowing the full extend of the Chapter Approved contents, however if you want to include Daemons in your list then it's probably going to be worth it obviously.

Warpmiss Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Thanks for the info, sfPanzer! I'll wait for some reviews of the Codex then! Although it is likely that, even if it were not useful for me for playing, I would buy it anyway for the art and lore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are reading things I never wrote. Please stop jumping conclusions. Mentioning the World Eaters only served as a time frame for when you can expect a Khorne Daaemon release. Nothing more, nothing less. If it's easier for you just ignore the whole World Eater thing and replace it with "soon-ish". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they too vulnerable? Don't do enough damage?? Unclean one - to slow and not fat enough Keeper of secret - 12 wounds. Bloodthirster - only one of them competative, which WS is not degrading, with Axe and Lash, not too much attacks, he should increase his amount attack when degrading, like Lord of Skulls Lord of Change - Good psyker, worth as a melee fighter. But without Changling can be killed as much fast as others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
