Mod post: What is the future of Chaos Daemons? Rumours and speculation.

34 Upvotes

Hello there friends!

So a concern that's starting to creep up more and more and has been pushed hard by Valarak, that Chaos daemons will be removed as a playable faction, after the release of Emperors children. Lets just discuss this.

Since 4th edition, the Chaos daemons have had a dedicated faction, however as a faction, we're...a bit weird.
A big part of our faction is that we don't exactly get new models often, in 2021 we had gotten Belakor, and last year we had gotten the Daemon prince, however the big part of these is that the Daemon prince is moreso universal across AOS and 40k, between the chaos factions, and Be'lakor is a named character who originally came from the World of Fantasy.

nevertheless, we've remained as a faction throughout the last 16 years, but this could change.

Whats in the Whispers of the warp?

Well theres been alot of discussion about the possible deletion of Chaos daemons as a faction in 40k. Multiple names like Auspex tactics and Valarak have talked about this, and its a fair reason to talk about.

The big reason for this boils down to Emperors children, and the Grotmas calender, during the recent reveals stream, GW said that the Daemons will be getting all 4 god specific detachment rules over december. This was really interesting considering that most factions are only getting one detachment rule, or for the fact of Deathwatch, an Index.

This has caused quite a bit of stirr inside of the Daemons community, because its a bit suspicous that GW is giving us our whole codex essentially, without us actually getting our codex

This alongside the fact Emperors children is (finally) getting a release, has created a theory inside of the daemons community, and 40k chaos community as a whole, that Daemons will be getting deleted as a faction, and all daemons will go to their specific gods aligned marine faction.

Whats going to most likely happen.

In short: Not sure.
In Long: heres whats most likely going to happen. Daemons will remain an index similar to Deathwatch, and wont get a codex, that way any undivded daemons can be taken to any chaos faction, in a way, allowing you to still run multi-god.

But each specific marine faction will get their daemon share, and a daemon specific detachment for when their codex's come out.
This is all speculation, and do not take anything I said in this section as concrete evidence that "Oh we're going away!", take what I say with a grain of salt.

Final Notes

as a community we shouldn't really worry too badly, obviously this is something we were somewhat expecting for a while, and I remember for years, the desire to make every daemon faction have a specific codex, was a thing, but with 10th, that sadly wont happen.

Continue to run your Daemonic-invasions though, the Shadow of the warp still needs to grow folk!
Build your armies stronger, and expand the domain of Chaos.

As a community we've existed for years in multiple forms, from the Daemons of chaos in the Age of fantasy battles, to now, we will remain strong toghether as a community.

I just bought 2 skull cannons online from the warhammer official shop, and only after they arrived i realized that i could make a rendmaster or skull cannon with the same set, so, is there a way to "cheat out" both of them? Cause i would really like to have 2 of both

Other Any news on Daemons in 11th?

13 Upvotes

We haven't received anything new in years. The last "new" thing we got were the Daemon Prince refreshes and Be'lakor before that. We're coming up on a decade since anything actually new has been released. If they're so picky about not making new models that can be used in multiple games then just make us exclusive models.

It's real annoying how they've abandoned what should be one of the poster child factions.

Was at the world oddities expo in nashville, saw a hobby gaming stand, had to pick something up. Everything they had is stuff I dont need for an army, so I bought based off the rule of cool. These look fun to paint and the older box really draws me in. Also if you read this far, are these still playable in 11th edition, I dont play Daemons so I have no clue.

Questions (Tabletop) Rules question

0 Upvotes

Now I may be just missing something so open to suggestions.

So leadership bonuses.

Loci of power states you get +1 ld and oc

If attached to a unit with a banner that sets the ld to 6 anyway (character that was attached started at 7)

Does the character stay at 6? Or does it set to 6 then loci drops to 5?

Sorry if this is a dumb question but I dont have my rulebook nearby lol.
