Chaos Daemons: Part 9, Elites

At least it sounds good

This article is about the Daemons Elite section. A very sad amalgamation of old units and Fantasy rules. Apparently Phil Kelly thinks 6+ is the best armor you can get in 40k (It's the highest number after all!). Apparently some of the previous Elites section (coughFlamerscough) were in need of a rewrite because they were 'too strong' because having something, anything, useful in a codex is a big fat no-no and needs to be dealt with. Luckily the two good anti-vehicle units from the last codex, Flamers and Screamers post-update, have been replaced by a BS 3 crap-shoot that sits in your back-lines because he'll get smoked by basic MEQ and a flying cavalcade of bad rules design known as flying monstrous creatures.

At least Bloodcrushers still look bad-ass as hell and they didn't revert to the old model:

Yeesh

Welp, here we go.

Chaos Daemons: Part 7, Unique HQ's

Don't take them.

Whoops, I should introduce this section first. This is about the Daemon's unique HQ's (Changleing, Skulltaker, The Masque, Epidemius, The Blue Scribes and Karanak). Due to poor writing you can't take The Masque or The Blue Scribes as part of your 4 HQ limit. Most of these HQ's are cheaper (or the same price) except Karanak, who is no longer an upgrade for Hounds of Khorne? No idea why. He went from 50 (15 for Hound, 35 for Upgrade) points to 120. He's got a little more of everything though but is just not worth it in a shooting game. Let's get into why you should never take any of these guys (other than for cheesy cheese or fluffy armies)
