Chaos Daemons Special Rules
Daemon Allegiance: With the exception of Be’lakor, all Chaos Daemons owe allegiance to one of the four Chaos Gods.Most datasheets specify which Chaos God the unit owes allegiance to (e.g. a Great Unclean One has the NURGLE keyword, so owes allegiance to Nurgle). If a Chaos Daemons datasheet does not specify which Chaos God it owes allegiance to, it will have the <ALLEGIANCE> keyword.When you include such a unit in your army, you must choose which of the Chaos Gods it owes its allegiance to. It then replaces its <ALLEGIANCE> keyword in every instance on its datasheet with the name of its patron Chaos God: KHORNE, TZEENTCH, NURGLE or SLAANESH. For example, if you were to include a Daemon Prince of Chaos in your army, and you decided it owed allegiance to Khorne, its <ALLEGIANCE> Faction keyword is changed to KHORNE and its Prince of Chaos ability would say: ‘You can re-roll hit rolls of 1 made for friendly KHORNE DAEMON units within 6″ of this model.’
Abilities
Daemonic: Units with this ability have a 5+ invulnerable save.
Unstoppable Ferocity: If this unit charges, is charged, or performs a Heroic Intervention, add 1 to the Strength and Attacks characteristics of all its models until the end of the turn.
Ephemeral Form: Add 1 to any invulnerable saving throws made for this unit.
Disgustingly Resilient: Each time a model with this ability loses a wound, roll a dice; on a 5+, the model does not lose that wound.
Quicksilver Swiftness: This unit always fight first in the Fight phase, even if it didn’t charge. If the enemy has units that have charged, or that have a similar ability, then alternate choosing units to fight with, starting with the player whose turn is taking place.
Daemonic Ritual: Instead of moving in theirMovement phase, any CHAOS CHARACTER can, at the end of their Movement phase, attempt to summon a DAEMON unit with this ability by performing a Daemonic Ritual (the character cannot do so if they arrived as reinforcements this turn, or if they were themselves summoned to the battlefield this turn). If they do so, first choose one of the four Chaos Gods – KHORNE,TZEENTCH, NURGLE or SLAANESH. A CHARACTER who owes allegiance to one of the Dark Gods can only attempt to summon the units of their patron – for example, a KHORNE CHARACTER could only attempt to summon KHORNE DAEMONS. Roll up to 3 dice – this is your summoning roll. You can summon one new unit with the Daemonic Ritual ability to the battlefield that has a Power Rating equal to or less than the total result so long as it has the same Chaos God keyword you chose at the start (in the case of units that have a choice of allegiance, such as Furies, the unit when summoned will have this keyword). This unit is treated as reinforcements for your army and can be placed anywhere on the battlefield that is wholly within 12″ of the character and more than 9″ from any enemy model. If the total rolled is insufficient to summon any unit, the ritual fails and no new unit is summoned. If your summoning roll included any doubles, your character then suffers a mortal wound. If it contained any triples, it instead suffers D3 mortal wounds.
Daemonic Legions: If your army is Battle-forged, all Troops units in Chaos Daemons Detachments gain this ability. Such a unit that is within range of an objective marker controls it even if there are more enemy models within range of it. If an enemy unit within range of the objective marker has a similar ability, then it is controlled by the player who has the most models within range as normal.
Daemonic Loci
If your army is Battle-forged, all CHARACTERS in Chaos Daemons Detachments gain a Daemonic Locus, so long as every unit in that Detachment owes its allegiance to the same Chaos God. TheDaemonic Locus gained depends upon their allegiance, as shown in the table opposite. For example, all CHARACTERS in a NURGLE Chaos Daemons Detachment gain the Locus of Virulence.
Khorne: Locus of Rage
You can re-roll charge rolls for KHORNE DAEMON units that are within 6″ of a friendly model with the Locus of Rage in the Charge phase.
Tzeentch: Locus of Trickery
Roll 2 dice at the start of each Fight phase and discard the highest result. Until the end of that phase, each time your opponent targets a TZEENTCH DAEMON unit within 6″ of a friendly model with the Locus of Trickery and makes a hit roll that, after re-rolls but before modifiers,matches your remaining dice result, that hit roll fails.
Nurgle: Locus of Virulence
Each time you make a wound roll of 6+ for a NURGLE DAEMON unit within 6″ of any friendly model with the Locus of Virulence, that attack inflicts 1 additional damage.
Slaanesh: Locus of Swiftness
All SLAANESH DAEMON units within 6″ of a friendly model with the Locus of Swiftness in the Charge phase can declare a charge even if they advanced in their Movement phase.

As of 08-18-2017 Universal Stratagems are…
Command Re-Roll: 1 CP
You can re-roll any single dice.
Counter-Offensive: 2 CP
Used right after an enemy unit that charged has fought. Select one of your own eligible units and fight with it next.
Insane Bravery: 2 CP
You can automatically pass a single Morale test and must be used before taking the test.
Prepared Positions: 2 CP
At the start of the first battle round, before the first turn begins. Until the end of the first turn, all units from your army that are wholly within your Deployment Zone, other than Titanic units, receive the benefit of cover, even while they are are not entirely on or in a terrain feature. A unit that is already receiving the benefit of cover gains no additional benefit from this Stratagem.
If your army is Battle-forged and includes any Chaos Daemons Detachments (excluding Auxiliary Support Detachments), you have access to the Stratagems shown here, meaning you can spend Command Points to activate them. These help to reflect the unique strategies used by Chaos Daemons on the battlefield.
Rewards of Chaos: 1/ 3 CP
Use before the battle. Your army can have one extra Hellforged Artefact for 1 CP, or two extra Hellforged Artefact for 3 CPs. All the Hellforged Artefact that you include must be different and be given to different Daemon Characters.
Denizens of the Warp: 1/2 CP
Use this during deployment. If you spend 1 CP, set up one of your Daemon units that has a Power Rating of 8 or less of your Daemon units that has a PR of 8 or less in the warp instead of placing it on the battlefield. If you spend 2 CPs, you can choose a Daemon unit tht has a PR of 9 or more instead.

Daemonic Incursion: 2 CP

The destroyed unit is returned to your army at full strength, and is set up on the battlefield at the end of your next Movement phase, anywhere on that battlefield that is more than 9″ from any enemy models. This does not cost you any reinforcement points in a matched play game.
Soul Sacrifice: 2 CP
Use this before a Chaos Character from your attempts to summon Daemons to the battlefield using a Daemonic Ritual. That character suffers D3 mortal wounds, but you can roll up to 4 dice rather than 3 for the summoning roll. In addition, re-roll hits of 1 for the summoned unit while it is within 6″ of the character that performed the Daemonic Ritual.
Daemonic Pact: 1 CP
Use this after a Chaos Character from your army summons a unit of Daemons using a Daemonic Ritual. That character can immediately attempt to summon a second unit of Daemons using Daemonic Ritual.
Daemonic Possession: 1 CP

Warp Surge: 2 CP

Select a Slaanesh Daemon Character from your army – until the end of the phase, each time you make a wound roll of 6+ for a friendly Slaanesh Daemon unit within 6″ of that character, the model that made that attack can immediately make an extra attack against the same target using the same weapon. These bonus attacks cannot themselves generate any further attacks.
Aura of Acquiescence: 1 CP

If your army is Battle-forged, you have access to the Specialist Detachment Stratagems presented in this section. A Specialist Detachment Stratagem is a unique type of Stratagem used when choosing your army. This Stratagem will assign a <SPECIALIST DETACHMENT> keyword to certain units in that Detachment and will unlock Warlord Traits, Relics, Stratagems and psychic powers that those units can take. Each Specialist Detachment Stratagem can only be used once per battle. Any Detachment from your army (except for Auxiliary Support Detachments) can be upgraded to a Specialist Detachment by using an appropriate Specialist Detachment Stratagem. A Detachment from your army can only be upgraded to a Specialist Detachment once and thus cannot have multiple Specialist Detachment Stratagems applied to it, even if they affect different units in the Detachment.
Field Commander: 1 CP
Use this Stratagem before the battle if you used any Specialist Detachment Stratagems when choosing your army. Choose one CHARACTER from your army that has gained a keyword from a Specialist Detachment Stratagem that is not your Warlord and is not a named character. You can give that character the Warlord Trait of the Specialist Detachment they are part of (note that this character is only regarded as your Warlord for the purpose of that Warlord Trait). This Stratagem can be used once for each Specialist Detachment Stratagem you have used (spend 1 CP each time you use it). No two characters in your army can have the same Warlord Trait.
Legion of Skulls: 1 CP
Use this Stratagem when choosing your army. Pick a KHORNE Chaos Daemons Detachment (that is, a Chaos Daemons Detachment in which every unit has the KHORNE keyword) from your army to be a Legion of Skulls Specialist Detachment. BLOODLETTER units in that Detachment gain the LEGION OF SKULLS keyword.
Brazen Skull: 1 CP
Use this Stratagem in your Shooting phase. Pick a LEGION OF SKULLS model from your army. Pick an enemy unit within 8″ of this model that is visible to them, and roll a D6; if the result equals or exceeds this model’s Ballistic Skill characteristic, that enemy unit suffers D3 mortal wounds.
Red Tide: 2 CP
Use this Stratagem in your Charge phase. Pick an enemy unit that was charged by a LEGION OF SKULLS unit from your army this phase. You can add 2 to charge rolls for other LEGION OF SKULLS units from your army that declare a charge against the same enemy unit (and do not declare charges against any other enemy unit) until the end of the phase.
If your army is Battle-forged and includes any Chaos Daemons Detachments – that is, any Detachment that includes only units with both the CHAOS and DAEMONS Faction keywords – (excluding Auxiliary Support Detachments), you have access to the Stratagems shown here. Matched Play Rule – Daemonic Jealousy: In a matched play game, you can only select each Exalted ability once. This does not prevent other EXALTED Greater Daemons from having the same Exalted ability (or abilities), but only if they have been rolled for randomly. If you are randomly rolling for Exalted abilities, write ‘Random’ on your army list for that unit and roll the dice before the battle in front of your opponent.
Razor-Sharp Caress: 1 CP
Use this Stratagem in the Fight phase. Select one DAEMONETTE INFANTRY unit from your army. Until the end of the phase, the Armour Penetration characteristic of melee weapons models in that unit are equipped with is improved by 1 (e.g. AP -1 becomes AP -2).
Sinuous Undulation: 1 CP
Use this Stratagem in your opponent’s Shooting phase when a DAEMONETTE CAVALRY unit from your army is chosen as the target of an attack. Until the end of the phase, when resolving an attack made against that unit, subtract 1 from the hit roll.

Rust and Decay: 1 CP
Use this Stratagem in the Fight phase. Select one PLAGUEBEARER INFANTRY unit from your army. Until the end of the phase, when resolving an attack made by a model in that unit, an unmodified hit roll of 6 automatically scores a hit and successfully wounds the target (do not make a wound roll).
Putrid Demise: 1 CP
Use this Stratagem when a PLAGUEBEARER CAVALRY model from your army is destroyed. Before removing that model, roll one D6 for every unit within 6″ (excluding NURGLE units). On a 2+, the unit being rolled for suffers 1 mortal wound.
Acidic Slobber: 1 CP
Use this Stratagem in the Fight phase. Select one BEASTS OF NURGLE unit from your army. Until the end of the phase, when resolving an attack made by a model in that unit, an unmodified wound roll of 6 inflicts 1 mortal wound on the target in addition to any other damage.
Nurgling Infestation: 1 CP
Use this Stratagem at the end of any phase except the Morale phase. Select one NURGLING unit from your army. Roll one D6 for each model in that unit that was destroyed that phase. For each roll of 5+, return one destroyed model to that unit with all of its wounds remaining, placing them in unit coherency (if a model cannot be placed in this way, it is not returned to the battlefield).
Rage Eternal: 3 CP
Use this Stratagem in the Fight phase when a model in a BLOODLETTER INFANTRY unit from your army is destroyed. Until the end of the phase, roll one D6 each time a model from that unit is destroyed; on a 4+, that model is not removed until after all of the attacking unit’s close combat attacks have been resolved, and the destroyed model can make all of its close combat attacks against the unit that destroyed it before being removed (this model can make these close combat attacks even if it would not normally be able to target that unit).
Brass Stampede: 1 CP
Use this Stratagem in your Charge phase when a BLOODLETTER CAVALRY unit from your army finishes a charge move. For each model in that unit, you can select one enemy unit within 1″ of that model and roll one D6; on a 2+, that enemy unit suffers 1 mortal wound; on a 6, that enemy unit suffers D3 mortal wounds. If these mortal wounds destroy all enemy units within 1″ of your unit, it can, if you wish, immediately declare another charge.
The Scent of Blood: 1 CP
Use this Stratagem in your Charge phase. Select one FLESH HOUNDS unit from your army. That unit can be chosen to charge with this phase even if it Advanced this turn. In addition, add 2 to the result of that charge roll if any enemy models (excluding VEHICLES) have been destroyed this turn.
Bound in Brass and Bone: 1 CP
