Codex Daemons

Here's the supposed cover of the new Chaos Daemons codex originally posted on Bell of Lost Souls.

Here's a summary of rumors found on various sources online:

HQ:Special characters:

* Kugath the Plaguefather
* Fateweaver, Oracle of Tzeentch
* Skarbrand the exiled one

God-specific Greater Demons: (significantly more potent and costly than the CSM Major)

* Bloodthirster (don't even try using psychics agasint these guys)
* Keeper of Secrets (dance marine-boy dance...you'll see)
* Lord of Change (tons of shooting, can split fire)
* Great Unclean (a tough Monstrous Creature who wounds on a 2+!)

Special character Heralds:

* The Masque (Slaanesh)
* Epidemius (Nurgle)
* The Bluescribes (Tzeentch)
* Skulltaker (Khorne)

Standard god-specific heralds (four)

-You can take 2 heralds as 1 HQ choice but the army must be led by either a GD or one of the named demons.

Elites:

* Fiends of Slaanesh
* Flamers
* Beasts of Nurgle
* Fleshhounds (with a named character upgrade option)

Troops:

* Bloodletters
* Daemonettes
* Plaguebearers
* Horrors (with a named character upgrade option)
* Furies (do not fill compulsory troops slots)
* Nurglings (do not fill compulsory troop slots)

Fast attack:

* Bloodcrushers
* Seekers of Slaanesh
* Screamers

Heavy:

* Soulgrinder
* Daemon Prince (tons and tons of options)

Wargear and Gifts:

* Chariots are coming to 40k, and are upgrade options for Heralds.
* Many new psychic powers (including a hilarious Slaneesh one which is a much saner version of lash and may inspire some truly comic dreadnought conversions)
* Khorne has an ability to ignore Psychic and Force Sword damage on a 2+!
* Most of the standard daemons are our old favorites (power weapons for knorne, poison for nurgle, etc...)

Ranking On Hold

I will be postponing updates on our rankings but I'm still encouraging reports on this blog. I'm currently studying PHP, which will greatly help with the project. WMH ranking similarly postponed as well.
