I just got the update from white dwarf yesterday. My question is do the daemon of chaos take the universal rule of their book( having a 5+ and eternal warrior) or the universal rule of the big rule book(5+ and fear). Am i missing something since i can't find the reference.
So the screamer and flamer only get a 5+ invulnerable now?

Unless an FAQ specifically overrides the original rule in the codex, models with a rule such as Daemon that has a different wording in the codex than it does in the rule book follows the wording in the rule book. The precedence is set by the FAQ for all space marine codexes, in which the effects of And They Shall Know No Fear differ between the codex and the rulebook. There is a specific admendment stating that you ignore the entry in the codex and refer to the rule book entry. Unless there is a similar entry in the Daemons FAQ (I wouldn't know, because for some reason when I try to open the FAQ to check, it gives me what I believe is the german language version), then you use the entry for Daemon in the codex, which would give a 5++ and EW.

Seeing as codex overules rulebook, the CD have their own version of the rule. Which converts their profile save to an equal invulnerable, gives EW and thanks to the FAQ, they get fear as well.

Unless the "german" faq says otherwise.

Daemons will benefit from C:CD Daemon and BGB Daemon Pg 32 explains why

So for clarification so I can point my friend who plays daemons in the right direction:

Flamers have T4 W2 Fear and a 5+ Invulnerable save?

Or is it a 4+ Invuln save?

And why is it 4 or 5, since one book says one thing and one says another.

Way I read it is everything on page 27 + Fear + 5++

They also gave Soul Grinders a 5++ whihc I guess puts it in line with a defiler

The white Dwarf update gave them sv of -

They have all the normal Codex Daemon rules, and they have the BGB Daemon rules for Screamers and Flamers. statline looks right

Not really.

Only issue i have is that they gave a "sort of" answer to the question of the two Daemon rules. They just said that all Daemon use the Codex Rule plus they also get Fear and a 5++
They didn't say they get both rules. They just gave them the effects of both rules long hand.

Same difference at this point I don't really care. They get the Benefits from both rules.

The Codex entry for Flamers has been superceded by the White Dwarf entry, so you ignore the 4+ given in the Codex.
You then look at the White Dwarf entry to see that it has no save listed in its profile - but as it is a Daemon, per the rulebook (and the FAQ clarifies this), you get a 5+ invulnerable save.

I'm not sure on the wording in the Codex for the last part, however. If being a daemon of Tzeentch gives a +1 to invulnerable saves AND the White Dwarf entry for the Flamers gives them that Daemon of Tzeentch status (NOT the Codex entry), then and only then would they still have it as 4+.

Being a daemon of Tzeentch does NOT add to your invulnerable save; that only applies to Daemon Prince marks.
