Black Legion
Black Legion Special Rules
The models in the Black Legion army use a number of special rules that are common to more
than one unit, as specified in the individual entries that follow. Given here are either the details
of those rules or reference to where you can find them.
Executioners Strike
Any model in Terminator Armor that chooses to Deep Strike only rolls a single D6 for scatter,
rather than the usual 2D6. In addition, the unit may re-roll its reserve roll dice if the player so
chooses.
In addition to those units listed with this rule, any Black Legion model wearing Terminator
armor also gains Executioners Strike. Also, all models in a unit must have this rule to benefit
from it.
Forces of the Black Legion

Abaddon the Despoiler
Abaddon is the supreme leader of the Black Legion, their new and dreaded Warmaster. For
10,000 years he has led his legion in an endless war against the Corpse God and his minions,
sustained by his hatred and his desire for revenge.
Special Rules
Fearless, Eternal Warrior, Daemonic Aura, Executioners Strike, Independent Character
Commanding Presence
Abaddon is a consummate leader, controlling his forces through a mixture of fear, respect, and
masterful abilities of oration.
Any friendly Chaos units within 12 of Abaddon gain the Fearless special rule.
Warmaster of the Black Legion
After they became the Black Legion, Abaddon has lead his warriors through countless battles.
They, like their master, have become hard-bitten and experts at war.
If Abaddon is included in a Black Legion army, you may select up to three units of Chaos
Chosen.
Wargear
Mark of Chaos Ascendant
Like Horus before him, Abaddon has managed to serve all the gods without giving himself to
any one god. This is signified by a unique mark, which combines the powers of all four Dark
Gods. Abaddons profile is modified accordingly, including his invulnerable save being
modified to a 4+.
Talon of Horus
The Talon of Horus counts as a master-crafted lightning claw. It also incorporates an early,
custom storm bolter with the following profile:
Range
24
Strength
5
AP
5
Type
Assault 3
In addition, any enemy unit in close combat with Abaddon suffers a -1 penalty to all Morale
checks.
Drachnyen
Drachnyen counts as a power weapon. In the Assault phase, Abaddon may make a single
special attack with Drachnyen, in addition to his normal attacks. If he hits, the attack wounds
automatically. In addition, any model wounded by this attack suffers Instant Death. Vehicles
struck by this attack suffer an automatic penetrating hit.
Chaos Terminator Armor
The armor worn by Abaddon is blessed by the Dark Gods, granting him protection against the
psychic powers of his enemies.
If Abaddon, or the unit he is with, is affected by an enemy psychic power, roll a D6. On a roll of
4+ that power is nullified.
Mordred the Black
Mordred was once a marine of great ambition. A rival to Abaddon, the two vied for their
Primarchs favor on many occasions. One such time would irrevocably change Mordred from
the proud warrior he was, to the taciturn marine he is today.
During an engagement against a hostile xenos battle cruiser, Abaddon and Mordred were each
given command of a squad of Terminators and tasked with wiping the vessel clean of the filthy
aliens. What transpired after the legionaries were teleported on board the enemy ship is known
only to Abaddon and Mordred, for they were the only ones to return. After their report to him,
Horus bade them never speak of it, and he gave no official report of it.
Afterwards, Mordred was never the same, and became like a shadow to Abaddon. Though is
skill of arms and many victories in battle would have surely propelled him through the ranks,
Mordred never sought such honors and even refused them when they were suggested.
Forevermore he would stand with Abaddon no longer as his peer, but as his servant and silent
bodyguard.
Special
Fearless, Executioners Strike
Defend the Warmaster
Mordred has dedicated his life to safeguarding Warmaster Abaddon, and spends countless hours
drilling his squad in protective stances and techniques.
A single Independent Character that has joined Mordreds squad (chosen at the start of each of
the Chaos players turns) gains a 5+ Invulnerable save, or has his existing Invulnerable save
increased by +1. If Abaddon has joined Mordreds squad, he must be selected as the recipient of
this bonus. Note that this bonus applies even if Mordred is removed, as he has trained his squad
extensively.
Wargear
The Hand of Strife
The Hand of Strife is a massive, two-handed power mace. It was said to be a gift from Horus
himself, and now symbolizes Mordreds brutal, unflinching command of his squad.
The Hand of Strife is a power weapon that adds +2 to the wielders Strength in close combat. In
addition, such is the force of a blow from the weapon that all models that suffer an unsaved
wound from it and are not killed must make an immediate Toughness test or suffer an additional
wound, with no armor or invulnerable saves allowed.
Because of its size, the Hand of Strife requires two hands to use, so Mordred may not claim the
bonus for a second close combat weapon.
Daemon Prince
Daemon Princes are the mightiest of the Chaos Gods followers, having been elevated by their
dark masters to the immortal ranks of daemonhood. These princes of the Warp lead mighty
hosts of Chaos or act as patrons to powerful Chaos Lords.
Special Rules
Fearless, Eternal Warrior
Psyker
Some Daemon Princes are gifted with psychic abilities by their patron god. If a Daemon Prince
does not have the Mark of Khorne, he may be upgraded to a psyker. He may choose one psychic
power from those available to Sorcerers. He may use one psychic power per turn.
Wargear
Kai Gun
Ancient and terrible weapons, kai guns are the mad creations of a lost race. Infused with the
power of the Warp, these guns are wielded by only the most powerful of Daemon Princes.
A kai gun is a ranged weapon that uses the following profile:

the deep strike rules.

Special Rules
Fearless, Independent Character
Wargear
Daemon Weapon
See the Daemon Weapon section below.
Chaos Champion
The path to immortality is a long and bloody struggle for a champion of Chaos. Those who
distinguish themselves from their battle-brothers, through acts of carnage and victories on the
battlefield, rise to become Chaos Champions. Favored by the Dark Gods, they serve as
lieutenants to mighty Lords and Daemon Princes, or lead their own small warband of Chaos
Marines. They fight the Long War in hopes of rising to the rank of Chaos Lord, and perhaps
someday achieving the immortality of daemonhood.

maximum of a -3 penalty.
Warp Focus
All of the sorcerers psychic shooting attacks count as twin-linked.
Chaos Psychic Powers
A Chaos Sorcerer has two psychic powers; an Aspiring Sorcerer and a Daemon Prince with the
Psyker upgrade have a single psychic power (chosen when the army is picked). A model may
use one power per player turn, with the exception of a Sorcerer that has been upgraded to a
Master Sorcerer, in which case he can use up to two psychic powers each turn. All Chaos
psychic powers are used following the rules given in the main Warhammer 40,000 rulebook.
Doombolt
The sorcerer blasts the enemy with a succession of bolts made of raw Chaos energy.
This power is a psychic shooting attack and has the following profile:

Warptime
The sorcerer surrounds himself with a dimensional instability, which warps the passage of time
and grants him the opportunity to place his attacks with supernatural precision.
This power is used at the start of any players turn. If successful, the Sorcerer may re-roll all
rolls to hit and rolls to wound for the duration of that players turn.
Gift of Chaos
The sorcerer unleashes a whirling flash of Chaos energy, which envelopes the target and rapidly
mutates them. As the power of Chaos flows through the target, the unfortunate victims bones
writhe, its flesh distorts and agonizing mutations tear the enemy apart.
This power is used at the start of the Chaos players turn. The sorcerer may by in close combat
at the time, as may the target. If successful and the target is found to be within 6 of the sorcerer,
the target must make a Toughness test. If it fails, it is removed as a casualty. Use the models
base toughness and a roll of 6 is always a failure, regardless of Toughness. Models without a
Toughness characteristic cannot by affected.
If the player has a model available, he may replace the slain victim with a Lesser Chaos Spawn.
The spawn is immediately under the Chaos players control. A Lesser Chaos Spawn is treated as
an individual unit and is always ignored for the purposes of any and all mission objectives. If the
victim was in base contact with friendly models, they are now engaged in combat with the
spawn, though it doesnt count as charging.
Wind of Chaos
The sorcerer unleashes a torrent of Chaos energy, which engulfs his foes and sears flesh from
bones and blasts through even the thickest armor.

reality, making it easier for his allies to arrive from the Warp.
This power is used at the start of the Chaos players turn and the Sorcerer may not use this power
in the same turn that he arrives from Reserves. For the duration of the Chaos players turn, any
models in Terminator armor, Obliterators, or Lesser Daemons that wish to teleport onto the
battlefield via the Deep Strike rule and choose to do so within 18 of the sorcerer wont scatter.
Note that Lesser Daemons may be Summoned within the area exactly as if the power were an
Icon of Chaos.
Shield of the Empyrean
The sorcerer raises his hand on high, and swirling torrent of warp energy surrounds him and his
allies.
This power is used at the start of the sorcerers Movement phase. The sorcerer and any unit he is
with receive a 6+ invulnerable save until the end of the following player turn. If a model already
has an invulnerable save from another source, this save is improved by 1 instead, to a maximum
of 2+.

A Greater Daemon of Chaos always begins the game in Reserve. On the turn in which it
becomes available, the Greater Daemon possesses the body of an Independent or Upgrade
Character in the Chaos Marine army. The controlling player chooses any suitable model in his
own army and removes it from play, replacing it with the Greater Daemon model.
If there are no suitable models on the table at the time the Greater Daemon becomes available, it
cannot enter the battle and is destroyed. Models that have arrived from Reserve in the same turn
cannot be possessed.
If the model that is possessed is inside a transport, the possessed model is killed and the Greater
Daemon is deployed anywhere within 2 of one of the vehicles access points. If the possessed
model was engaged in close combat, the Greater Daemon is placed as close as possible to the
spot it occupied, but at least 1 away from any enemy models.
Once deployed, the Greater Daemon cannot do anything in that turns Movement phase, but may
otherwise act normally (including charging in the Assault phase).

addition, the Dreadnought may not fire in that turns shooting phase. This rule is ignored if the
Dreadnought is Immobilized.
Fire Frenzy
In the Shooting phase, a Chaos Dreadnought may fire any of its Heavy weapons twice (doubling
its rate of fire). After firing and for each weapon it does this with, it suffers an automatic hit to

A dreadnought close combat weapon is a power weapon and doubles the Dreadnoughts Strength
in close combat (to a maximum of 10).
Chaos Hammer
During the Horus Heresy, Dreadnoughts were often used as test beds for weapon systems
intended for Terminator units. One example of this is the Chaos Hammer, a massive powered
hammer used to smash asunder armor and fortifications. This weapon eventually became the
Thunder Hammer, but still sees use by the Traitor Legions on their war machines.
A chaos hammer counts as a dreadnought close combat weapon. In addition, all models that
suffer an unsaved wound from a chaos hammer and are not killed will be knocked reeling,
reducing their Initiative to a value of 1 until the end of the next players turn. Against vehicles
with no Initiative value, whenever a chaos hammer inflicts any damage result, it also inflicts a
Crew Shaken result.

A power scourge is composed of a number of lashing arms or tendrils covered in razor sharp
barbs and blades.
A power scourge is a power weapon that grants +2 Attacks to the Dreadnought in close combat.
A Dreadnougth armed with two power scourges may re-roll failed to hit rolls in close combat.
A Dreadnought armed with both a power scourge and a dreadnought close combat weapon may
not use both weapons in the same turn, as both are considered special weapons.

Power Mace
The precursor to the modern thunder hammer, the power mace saw wide use during the Great
Crusade and later the Horus Heresy. When a mace strikes true, it can unleash a powerful burst
of energy, though it is much more limited than its contemporary counterpart.
A power mace counts as a power weapon. In addition, all models that suffer an unsaved wound
from it and are not killed must make an immediate Toughness test or suffer an additional wound
normal saves apply. Note that only one Toughness test is taken per Assault phase, regardless

Because of its size, a warp blade requires two hands to use, so the wielder may not claim the
bonus for a second close combat weapon.
Daemon Weapons
A Daemon Weapon is a powerful symbol of the might of Chaos and a devastating weapon in the
hands of a champion of the Dark Gods. Such power comes at a price, however.
At the start of the Chaos players turn, roll a D6 for each daemon weapon currently on the table.
On a roll of 1, the daemon within has rebelled and attacks the wielder. The model suffers an
immediate Strength 6, AP 1 hit.
Darkblade
This blade may take the form of a wicked scimitar, great broadsword, or simply an axe or mace.
A darkblade is a power weapon. In addition, the wielder attacks with +2 Strength in close
combat.
Dreadaxe
Taking the form of a monstrous axe, greatsword, or pick, this is no armor or shield that can
protect against its bite.
A dreadaxe is a power weapon. Because of its size, it must be wielded in two hands so the
bearer cannot gain an additional attack for having a second close combat weapon. In addition,
attacks from a dreadaxe bypass Invulnerable saves of any kind. In the Assault phase, the wielder
may not benefit from any Invulnerable save he may have, regardless of its source.
Ether Lance
Appearing as a great lance or grotesque cannon, this frightening weapon opens a hole into the
Warp itself, swallowing up its enemies.
An ether lance is a power weapon. Because of its size, it must be wielded in two hands so the
bearer cannot gain an additional attack for having a second close combat weapon. In addition, it
may be fired in the Shooting phase with the following profile:
Range
18
Strength AP
5
2
Type
Assault 1, Blast
Bloodfeeder (Khorne only)

Usually taking the form of an axe, a bloodfeeder is infused with the essence of a raging
Bloodthirster.
A bloodfeeder is a power weapon. In the Assault phase, the wielder gains an additional +1D6
Attacks. Roll each time the wielder is about to attack.
Plaguebringer (Nurgle only)
Encrusted with filth, a Plaguebringer carries a deadly contagion that can fell even the toughest
foes.
A plaguebringer is a power weapon. In addition, during the Assault phase the wielders attacks
count as Poisoned (3+).
Deathscreamer (Tzeentch only)
Appearing as a blade of fire or a twisted gun, the Deathscreamer hurls magical blasts at the
wielders foes.
A deathscreamer is a power weapon. In addition, it may be fired in the Shooting phase with the
following profile:
Range
24
Strength AP
4
3
Type
Assault D6
Blissgiver (Slaanesh only)

A slender blade or writhing whip, those wounded by a Blissgiver are pitched into an ecstatic
coma from which there is no recovery.
A blissgiver is a power weapon. In addition, any wounds caused on the enemy by a blissgiver
inflict Instant Death, regardless of the targets Toughness.
Armor
Chaos Armor
Models equipped with Chaos armor receive an armor save of 2+.
Power Armor
Models equipped with Power armor receive an armor save of 3+.
Terminator Armor
Models in Terminator armor have the Relentless universal special rule. However, they cannot
perform a Sweeping Advance.
A model equipped with Terminator armor receives an armor save of 2+ and an invulnerable save
of 5+.
Any model wearing Terminator armor can be teleported onto the battlefield. They may always
start the game in reserve and arrive using the deep strike rules, even if it is not part of the mission
being played.
Terminators count as two models for the purposes of transport capacity, and cannot embark into
Rhinos.
Daemonic Aura
Warp energies surround and protect the unit from harm.
Models equipped with a Daemonic Aura receive an Invulnerable save of 5+.
Greater Daemonic Aura

The warp energies that protect the unit are more powerful than most.
Models equipped with a Greater Daemonic Aura receive an Invulnerable save of 4+.
Other Equipment
Chaos Marine Bike
Models equipped with a Chaos Marine bike follow all the rules for bikes as described in the
Warhammer 40,000 rulebook. Chaos Marine bikes are fitted with a twin-linked bolter.
Disc of Tzeentch
A model mounted on a Disc of Tzeentch gains a +1 bonus to Attacks in close combat. In
addition, the units type changes to Jump Infantry.
Icon of Chaos
Any models in Terminator armor, Obliterators, or Lesser Daemons that wish to teleport onto the
battlefield via deep strike and choose to do so within 6 of a model carrying an Icon of Chaos
wont scatter. If the icon bearer is inside a transport, then the range of the Icon is 6 from the
transport vehicles hull. Note that the icon only works for units that are teleporting, not for units
entering play using jump packs, wings, or other means of transport. Also note that the icon must
already be on the table at the start of the turn for it to be used.
Icon of Chaos Glory
This icon functions as an Icon of Chaos. In addition, the unit may re-roll any failed Morale
checks whilst the icon bearer is still alive.
Icon of Khorne
This icon functions as an Icon of Chaos. In addition, all models (except Independent Characters
joining the unit) in the same unit as the Icon of Khorne gain the Mark of Khorne whilst the icon
bearer is still alive.

icon bearer is still alive.
Icon of Tzeentch
joining the unit) in the same unit as the Icon of Tzeenthc gain the Mark of Tzeentch whilst the
icon bearer is still alive.
Juggernaut of Khorne
A Juggernaut is a mighty daemonic steed of Khorne, a fusion of steel and daemon flesh. Terrors
to behold in battle, these unstoppable beasts are gifted to the greatest of Khornes champions.
A model mounted on a Juggernaut of Khorne gains a +1 bonus to Strength and Attacks in close
combat, as well as a +1 bonus to Toughness. Because of its size, a model mounted on a
Juggernaut may not board a transport.
Jump Pack
Models equipped with jump packs are jump infantry, as described in the Warhammer 40,000
rulebook. As such, they may be held in reserve and arrive using the deep strike rules.
Palanquin of Nurgle
A model mounted on a Palanquin of Nurgle gains a +1 bonus to Attacks in close combat, as well
as a +1 bonus to Wounds. A model mounted on a Palanquin of Nurgle may not board a Chaos
Rhino, but may board a Chaos Land Raider (in which case it counts as two models).
Steed of Slaanesh
A model mounted on a Steed of Slaanesh gains a +1 bonus to Attacks in close combat. In
addition, the units type changes to Bike.

results on the Vehicle Damage table, although transported passengers are affected normally.

Pintle-mounted twin-linked bolter
Pintle-mounted twin-linked bolters are treated as an additional weapon, with the profile of a
normal twin-linked bolter. See the bolter entry for details.
Searchlight
Searchlights are used when the night fighting rule is in effect. If a vehicle has a searchlight it
must still use the night fighting rules to pick a target but, having acquired a target, will illuminate
it with the searchlight. For the rest of the Shooting phase, any other unit that fires at the
illuminated unit does not use the night fighting rule. However, a vehicle that uses a searchlight
can be targeted during the following enemy turn, as if the night fighting rules were not in effect,
as the enemy can see the searchlight.
Smoke Launchers
See the Vehicle section of the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook for details.
Parasitic Possession
The vehicle is possessed by a particularly cowardly daemonic entity, who only grants its aid
when its own since of self-preservation kicks in. Only then does it work to repair and maintain
the vehicle it resides in.
Roll a D6 at the start of the Chaos players Shooting phase for each damaged vehicle with this
upgrade. If the result is 5 or more, then either a Weapon Destroyed result or Immobilized result
(owning players choice) will be repaired. If a Weapon Destroyed result is repaired, that weapon
can be fired in the following Shooting phase.

Design Notes
HQ
Abaddon
Changed to be more like earlier versions, where his weapons were used separately. Drachnyen
is no longer a Daemon weapon for fluff, it is, but Abaddon is smart enough to use it in
moderation and control the daemon.
Morded
New SC. Designed to be a bodyguard for Abaddon. I very much like the idea of Upgrade
characters, and hope to include at least one in each of my Traitor codexes.
Daemon Prince
No change to stats. +10 pt increase.
New weapon: Kai gun updated version of 3rd ed daemon weapon.
Has many more options, including the option of carrying a ranged, heavy weapon. I did not see
why a Chaos Marine would abandon his guns, and gives options for non-psykers in Shooting
phase.
Cost of wings increased to 40 pts, based on the points for Winged Hive Tyrant.
This unit is a no-brainer in the current codex, and is very powerful. Didnt want to nerf, but
decided to increase some costs a bit.
Chaos Lord
Mostly unchanged, more options for wargear. Unlocks Chosen units, hopefully making him a
more attractive choice.
Chaos Champion
New unit, based on early 2 wound characters (Chaos Lieutenant and Mighty Champion). Stats
comparable to Wolf Guard Battle Leader. Has most of the same options as Lord, except for
Daemonic weapons and steeds.
May take 2 in one slot, as I felt he would not be taken otherwise (except in smaller games).
Sorcerer
Stats in line with SM Librarian. May use one power per turn, but can upgrade to use 2 per turn.
I originally had a Sorcerer Lord/Grand Sorcerer similar to the current Sorcerer also, but decided
to save this for Thousand Sons codex.
Psychic Powers
As is the trend, psykers do not buy their powers points are built into the model. Powers that
were around 25-30 points are largely unchanged, other powers were improved to be in line with
these powers.
Doombolt
Increased from Assault 3 to Assault 6. Should be in line with SM Smite power.
Warptime
Unchanged
Gift of Chaos
No longer creates a spawn, as Spawn see an increase in power in my version. Creates a
Lesser Spawn, a version more in line with current codex.
Wind of Chaos
Simplified the wording, but has the same affect.
Chaos Gate
New power. Name is a reference to the old PC game of same name.
Shield of the Empyrean
New power. Should be in line SM Force dome.
Eternal Hatred
New power. Written before the BA codex and Unleash Rage. Slightly weaker than
Unleash Rage, as it confers Rage, but I feel it adds more flavor to it.
Chains of Torment
New power, based on power from Dawn of War video game.
Lash of Submission
Changed to a shooting attack, in line with Pavane of Slaanesh.
Nurgles Rot
Added Poison (4+)
Bolt of Change
Formally Bolt of Tzeentch, went back to the 2nd ed name. Seemed to weak compared to
BA Blood Lance. Increased range from 24 to 36, changed from Assault to Heavy, added Melta
Twisting Path
New power, update of 3rd ed power of same name.
Greater Daemon
Unchanged, aside from wording on some of his special rules (included with his entry instead of a
separate location).
Chosen
Brought back in line with 3rd ed Chosen and Wolf Guard. I like in 3.5 book that they were the
best of the best, the Chaos Lords ultra-elite, wanted to return them to that. Plus, Lords had no
really good bodyguard unit.
+1 to Attack, gain Fearless, lose Infiltrate. Power weapon standard.
Costed similar to SM veterans and honor guard.
More options, all models may upgrade weapons. May upgrade to Aspiring Champion and
Terminator armor. May include an Aspiring Sorcerer.
Non-slot unit, limited by Chaos Lord, in line with SM Command Squad/Captain.
Elites
Terminators
Only one model may upgraded to a Champion, since Chosen can do this now.
Marauders
These are the current Chosen, with the addition of Scout. Basic trooper Ld reduced to 9. Fewer
weapon options. Has an option for Camo cloaks was going to include this standard but wanted
to keep costs down.
Possessed
Major overhaul. Stats unchanged. Daemonkin is gone, may purchase upgrades similar to 3.5
codex. Options split into two groups, Greater and Lesser, as some options are not as good as
others, and would likely never be used. Was careful to avoid overly powerful combos with
these. Champion has options. Points decreased from 26 to 22.
Chaos Dreadnought
Streamlined Crazed to speed up game play and give some control to the player. Fire Frenzy is
now a special attack that can be used at will; is powerful, but can be very dangerous to use.
Brought back the Thunder hammer (now Chaos Hammer) and Power Scourge from 2nd ed.
Added option for TL Heavy flamer, as per SM codex. Brought weapons points in line with SM
codex. Added option for Havoc Launcher, as they were the original test bed for them (would
later be used on Titans).
Troops
Chaos Marines
Largely unchanged, brought weapons cost in line with SM codex.
Khorne Berserkers
Added option for hand flamer, as per BA codex. Special weapon availability based on sacred
number.
Plague Marines
Special weapon availability based on sacred number.
Noise Marines
Largely unchanged. Sonic weapons changed to reflect reduced cost and give some consistency
between the Blaster and the Blast Master. Designed to be mid-range, anti-infantry. May take
more Blast Masters, due to weaker stats. Special weapon availability based on sacred number.
Model points reduced from 20 to 19. Sonic Blaster reduced from 5 to 3 pts. Blast Master
reduced from 35 to 20 pts. Doom Siren reduced from 15 to 10.
Thousand Sons
Aspiring Sorcerer is an upgrade option. Rubric marine reduced from 23 to 22 pts. Added in
special weapon options. Special weapon availability based on sacred number. New weapon:
Balefire flamer. This will feature heavily in Thousand Sons codex.
Lesser Daemons
Unchanged. Despite not liking this change to generic daemons, I felt the Daemon codex
covers the specific versions of old, and didnt want to mix the two. Also, the book needs a
cheap, scoring unit.
Fast Attack
Bikers
Points brought in line with SM codex, 33 to 26 pts. One point more than SM bikers due to being
double armed.
Raptors
Added Fearsome Visage, from 3rd ed Daemonic Visage. Points brought in line with SM codex, 1
pts more due to Fearsome Visage. Added option for hand flamer. Restricted special weapons
based on squad size. Champion can have Lightning claw.
Spawn
Major overhaul. Popular opinion is that current Spawn are useless, due to erratic movement. I
felt their lack of any kind of save made them too weak.
Initiative decreased from 3 to 2. Unit type changed to Infantry. Added 5+ Inv, Fleet, and
Rending. Removed Slow and Purposeful. Random attacks changed from D6 to D3+1, lower but
more reliable. Still cant be joined or ride a transport. No longer a non-slot, but may have larger
squad size.
Heavy Support (and Rhino)

Havocs
Unchanged. Weapon cost brought in line with SM codex.
Obliterators
Added heavy flamers to Oblit weapons.
Rhino, Predator, Vindicator, and Land Raider
Unchanged; Cost brought in line with SM codex. Weapons cost on Predator brought in line with
SM codex.
Defiler
Stats unchanged. Weapon load-out more customizable, set up is more in line with Predator. The
current load-out seems a bit random. Havoc launcher now an additional weapon option instead
of main weapon.
Land Raider Slaughterer and Despoiler
Two LR variants I had come up with prior to writing this. Based on SM variants, to some
degree. The Slaughterer is a short-ranged, anti-infantry, primarily used as a troop transport. The
Despoiler features one of the iconic chaos marine weapons, the Reaper Autocannon.
Wargear
Mark of Khorne, Slaanesh, and Nurgle
Unchanged
Mark of Tzeentch
Removed ability to cast a 2nd power, as this is now based on Master Sorcerer upgrade. I didnt
see why Sorcerers werent as good as Librarians in this regard, and felt Tzeentch sorcerers
should be even better. Added ability to re-roll psychic test.
Weapons
Most are largely unchanged.
Auxiliary Bolter
Similar to SM aux grenade launcher, inspired by Abaddon and Zhufors custom bolters built into
their gauntlets. Limited to characters.
Battle Spikes
Spiky bits from 3rd ed. Limited to characters.
Hand Flamer
Same as BA version
Power Mace
Old 2nd weapon, was the precursor to thunder hammer. Based off Mordreds weapon, but
weaker. Limited to Characters and Terminators.
Reaper Autocannon
Didnt like the idea of a built-in twin-linked ability. Also, it makes the weapon seem even more
inferior to Assault cannon, as it couldnt be TLed on a tank. Also, its just a TL autocannon with
12 range decrease, which seems unoriginal.
Removed TL, increased from Heavy 2 to Heavy 3. No change in cost, as this seems to balance
out.
Daemon Weapons
I do not like the current Daemon Weapons. I wanted to make them a bit less random and
dangerous. Currently, they can be very powerful, or utterly useless I tried to find a balance.
Darkblade
Reverted to 3.5 version.
Dreadaxe
Another 3.5 daemon weapon a bit more powerful than old version, but is detrimental to user,
too. Simply bypassing inv saves did not seem too useful.
Ether Lance
Update of 3.5 version.
Bloodfeeder
Only adds +1d6, due to change in how all daemon weapons work
Plaguebringer
Improved from Poison 4+ to 3+
Deathscreamer and Blissgiver
Unchanged
Armor
Chaos Armor
This has been around since 2nd ed, in line with Artificer armor.
Terminator Armor
Brought in line with SM version (ie Relentless)
Daemonic Aura
Gave the 5+ Invulnerable save special rule a name
A 4+ Inv, upgrade to Lords and Princes (and the Greater Daemon comes with it)
Other Equipment
Mostly unchanged
Icon of Chaos
Personal icon of current version. Made this change to streamline other icons.
Juggernaut of Khorne
Brought in line with Daemon Codex. Also, I felt a large wolf (thunderwolf from SW codex)
should not be more powerful than a daemon.
Steed of Slaanesh
Change to Bike. Cavalry is more appropriate, but there are no other cavalry/beast in the army,
meaning a model would either be alone or wasting the speed bonus as cavalry. Unlike other
bikes, does NOT gain Toughness bonus (just movement).
Vehicle Armory
Largely unchanged
Havoc Launcher
Reduced Strength from 5 to 4 and decreased AP from 5 to 6, increased from Heavy 1 to to 2,

removed twin linked.
As with the Reaper, didnt like the built-in twin-linked aspect. Fluff-wise, these are the
precursor to the Cyclone and the larger missile racks on Titans, so it is essentially a 2 shot
missile launcher (frag only). This is more in line with the 3rd ed version. Its decreased strength
makes it a Defensive weapon, but the Predator is the only one that greatly benefits from this.
Pintle mounted combi-weapon and twin-linked bolter
Changed wording from additional defensive weapon to additional weapon, as melta and
plasma components are not defensive.
Parasitic Possession
Parasitic possession from 3.5, but less powerful. Works much like Techmarines Blessing of the
Omnissiah.
