How many daemons are present in a daemon invasion/incursion? Lessor and greater all combined... Thousands, millions, hundreds of millions, billions?

Depends on the incursion, but it can be tons, or very little. I'm picturing swarms of swarms of lesser daemons, with greater ones be (obviously) more rare and possibly acting as generals of a sort. I'm leaning towards millions in some of the decently bigger ones, but as always I can wrong and if someone has a more accurate bit of information, by all means prove me wrong.

As 2BlackJack1 said, it entirely depends on the nature of the invasion. If, say, the "stars come right" and some Chaos Ritual is successfully performed, a Warp Gate might tear its way into reality and release a seemingly-endless flood of daemons into the material plane.

On the other hand, if a particularly crafty Chaos Champion succeeds in his or her tasks, it may just be them that is suddenly and spectacularly elevated to the status of Daemon Prince.

And then there's those events akin to that depicted in the 3rd Ravenor novel, where a single, *extremely* powerful, Daemon is summoned, and a world is nearly slain.

Think of a daemon incursion like a fart you don't quite trust... you could either toot a little puff of air, bellow a great effluvium, or utterly sh*t your pants and cry as it floods down your leg.

Thats a first for me haha!

That is the best analogy of daemonic invasion or possession
I have heard!!! LOL!!!

It opens up so many conversational opportunities...

Damn, I just Nurgled myself, best go home and Tzeentch my pants before the wife goes all Khorne on me!

Khorne Daemonkin has a full numerical breakdown of how many Khornate Daemons there are, total. Eight Bloodthirsters of the first rank, eight below each for eight further ranks then a summary of the average Lesser Daemon forces a single Bloodthirster commands.

If you went to the bother of calculating that out, multiplied it by four for assuming the four gods have roughly equal realms (even though Khorne is frequently referred to as the oldest and most powerful of the pantheon) and added a bit more for Furies and other unaligned beings, you' d get a ballpark upper end figure.

A Daemonic incursion would be somewhere between 1 Nurgling and "The Warp and reality are one now".

Depends what you're in to I guess... violation of the Emperors Holy Passage or becoming an addition to the Skull Throne... To be fair I think I'd take the Skull Throne!
