I'm seeing a rumour from a pretty confident source (they're pushing out a lot of playtester claims/rumours) that CSM will have the ability to take up to 25% of Daemons in an army, without breaking army rules. AND they can be in the same detachment supposedly

 

If true, Abaddon, Be'lakor, and a Knight Despoiler could be in one list without costing CPs.

 

Soup's on, come and get it.

Not in the same detachment though.

I would love to have some nurglings and Skarbrand for allies.  

If true they better update for Death guard and Thousands sons as it's u fair we lose out legion rules by taking daemons

Being able to do so would be so amazing

My guess is the rules for this are in the Chaos Daemons codex, given that it's in the Harlequin rules to say include them with Dark Eldar, or in the Knight/Chaos Knight rules to include them in Imperium/Chaos armies respectively.

Including the rule in the daemons codex would make sense! There they can also include DG and TS. This is great news for me, I'm painting the no longer available SC chaos space marines with the venomcrawler for an emperor's children warband, and have a SC slaanesh daemons and the exquisite pursuit box to build and paint!

Damn, if this whole Daemon thing it reals, it opens up a lot of potential for list building.

Night Lords for example could get access to more morale shenanigans (even if it may not be 100% loreful). 

 

NL demon prince enslaves demons to spread terror (and to spare the lives of his men, but will never admit this). Sounds fluffy to me, CSM have so many factions the standard line policy is more of a guideline not law. 

Hey Chris, you mention that terminators can be equipped with an "Autocannon". Is that just the Reaper autocannon or a regular one?

They've only ever had the Reaper so I assume that's staying.

the reaper also better then the normal AC since 9th

On the subject of Night Lords / Daemons combo : there is a Khorne WLT that makes another model run away on failed morale test (8" aura).

Marines may be immune to CA modifier, but they can still fail morale.

A NL DP, chaos spawn or possessed squad (which should be pretty common) make basic marines LD5 and termies LD6. It can even be reduced further if you stack the morale debuff from different units.

Making another model run away could be huge in this MSU game.

 

There is also the Treason of Tzeentch power that gives you control of a character if you beat his LD.

In addition some Daemon spells / WLT reduce LD in aura.

Or an exalted keeper with the free move when an enemy fails leadership!

Voodoom, the 3.5 Codex did say the Night Lords sometines "capture" daemons such as Furies to use on the battlefield. I often included a squad of 10 Furies as my 4th fast attack back in the day.

 

So if we can use daemons alongside Night Lords in the future, just say that they are "captured" Daemons.

On the subject of captured daemons, if you look at the three revealed Torment models, all of them have a strip of parchment nailed to them somewhere. To me it reads as some sort of seal binding a daemon to the host. Maybe something similar could be used to visually represent a bound daemon. It might be pretty easy to represent with modified purity seals.

I remember the old NL fluff about the Furies. They didnt capture furies but instead found Furies often flocked to them. Thats when the Night Lords were first becoming the jump pack legion and I guess they were trying to hit the flying circus theme by adding furies with a fluff reason for them to be there.

 

That said, YAY Daemons. I will be including some Furies if I ever continue with my Night Lord army. 

I've tried the Furies with my Night Lords before, and unfortunately with the way Morale is now, it just didn't do a thing. The way Night Lords are moving again they will be less about forcing morale loss and more about buffing themselves based on having a higher leadership i don't foresee Furies have a good place in a Night Lords list as fun as the theory sounds.

I really hope the Daemon rules (about bringing up to 25%) is in the chaos daemons codex and not the chaos space marines codex, otherwise TS and DG won't get it.

They would be remiss to not also update some Khorne Daemon models and allow World Eaters to take them. That'd be such an obvious tandem for sales.

Chaos daemons, like the rule for chaos knights is in the knights codex

That's awesome! Pretty exciting.
