Chaos FAQ: Deepstriking FAQ

[Prot]

Well it was a good week while it lasted:
 
FAQs
Q: When a Stratagem from Codex: Chaos Daemons uses the Daemon
keyword, can it be used to affect any unit
with the Daemon keyword, or only units with the
Daemon Faction keyword?
A: These Stratagems can only affect units with the
Daemon Faction keyword

 

So the amendments to the units in the Chaos codex include moving Daemon from Faction to Keyword.

S'OK.

 

Makes sense for balance and we still get to cross-target Warlord Traits, Relics, Psychic Powers, non-Stratagem Loci, etc. They didn't rescind the part of the Designer's Commentary that specifically makes that legal, nor the part of the DG FAQ that allows for targeting between different types of Heretic Astartes, so long as the proper detachments are in place.

 

And Magnus can DS for CHEAPER now via Webway Infiltration anyway if he wants (or a friendly TS character can slingshot him with the Dark Crystal), plus Morty can just give himself Warptime with Chaos Familiar and away we go.

I don't think it was too strong considering what other armies can bring but no point in being sad about it. I'm sure there are plenty other cool things in the codex to play around with. ^^

No he can't. Magnus obviously doesn't have the Infantry keyword lol

That's right. Forgot it was INFANTRY. Thanks for the correction.
