You can, you just need to summon them. And that's nothing new, CSM have needed either summoning or possession to get daemons since at least 2nd edition.
i don't want to have to take a risk to bring them in, the summoning rule right now is sooo underwhelming, theres a reason its almost never used.
Making it so the summoning is now only a fluff explanation for soup (which it already is but with a chance of failure) seems fitting.
"For every character with a mark of chaos, you may include one unit from the Chaos Demons codex with the same allegiance without breaking purity bonuses"
so now you get characters that can still move and you can bring bigger units/squads of demons that summoning usually would let you.
Or, they could just fix the summoning mechanic. Summoning used to be pretty powerful back when it worked right. Just removing the restriction on moving would go a long way.

Ditto for chaos.
This is my concern. I'm a Chaos Daemons player and mixed god armies are so common in the fluff as to be unremarkable. Now if I want to take a Slaanesh detachment (which almost every Daemons army that wants to be competitive does), I just can't.
I imagine it will be revealed Friday, but this doesn't affect Daemons as they do not have replaceable keywords.

Thats what i'm suggesting, just that the "summonning" happens on the list building phase

Yea, but pretty minor overall. I'm sure the new book would handle those scenarios appropriately.
I bet what GW will do is sell us armies of reknown for the CSM / Daemon interplay ( for "on the table" daemons plus CSM ).

Sleeping is more competive than gw games.
Only noobs think gw games are competive. As is level of skill needed is about 3rd grader. 1st grader can already solve the best army list.
Gw games are beer&pretzel by definition. Kids might think it's competive...until they read rules.

Anyone can copy paste lists. In fact plenty do. There's a reason the same people keep topping events even in the mirror matches. There's also reasons their lists keep changing
and evolving too, because no the most optimal list isn't that obvious, nor is it static, depends on the event and the meta. But a pro like you would already know that right?

That's such a big factor in squeaking out that last little hair of top table performance. If you're only knowledgeable enough to netlist, you will always be on the receiving end of meta changes, never the guy with the counter-meta picks or new tech adapting to the field. You'll literally be meta-chasing, and that might work occasionally (and will certainly work for bullying casuals) but it will never get you to the top.

Unpopular opinion, I want some soups back.
I actually really miss being viable to take guard + basically any other imperial faction. I also miss the flavor of taking occult chaos space marine legion + flavored daemons, like tsosn + tzeentzch daemons.
I think GW should have trimmed it and correct it rather then just outright shoot it down.

same, i actually really liked my 6th edition orks and chaos list, it was freeboota orks acting as mercenaries (they were primary faction) for a random black legion lower level officer (had names but its been a while) let me have some good ranged weapons to open vehicles to up for the orks to assault, good fun, wasn't some tournament level netlist, just something i enjoyed piloting, if i recall GW then in 7th decided no allies for orks even though they are wierdly one of the few factions that would do mercenary work for literally anybody for the right amount of scrap, hel its cannon that even the imperium has used orks when its suites them.

Same here fluff-wise. It matched a lot of Black Library stories where a unit of space marines assists a guard platoon. Also it justified buying a small squad of X here and there. No doubt it was exploited and ruined game play.

Probably not actually that unpopular. I agree. I love mixed armies, and GW (as usual) overcorrected. Changing the detachments to cost CP instead of giving CP was probably enough to make soup balanced, they didn't need to introduce monoarmy bonuses on top of that. Automatically Appended Next Post:

Yeah, definitely. I used to buy more models when the souping was more viable. If I liked some unit in some imperial or eldar army, I could just buy it and knew I could ally it with my other stuff.

I take mixed armies no problem.
Actually I like it better now. I can play Custodes with Tempestus and avoid the Ka'tah crap from my lists.
And I haven't really felt the loss in power.

There is nothing stopping you from taking mixed armies.
You just don't get to have your cake and eat it too.
No, the detachment CPs alone wouldn't be nearly enough of a cost.

Exactly, rules are abstractions that need to compromise with gameplay. Do you want allies? Sure, but you also get a drawback in return.
Might even represent the fact that mixed up forces aren't optimized and somehow improvised as members from different forces might not fight with consolidate tactics and synergies, which makes them lose some efficiency, aka some faction bonus are negated.
Maybe it's not the best way to deal with allies, but it has to be some drawback to balance the fact that some armies can bring allies, some can choose from an almost infinite array of allies, and others can't bring allies at all.

Ok, spoilers confirmed.
You can't play more than one subfaction PERIOD.
It isn't a problem of purity bonuses, you literally can't. I would have honestly preferred the other way, but this is what it is.
Edit: But you can still soup with a different faction.

I don't see how you can soup anymore (with limited exceptions). The spoiler says that when you make your subfaction selection that selection works for your entire army. It may be that the actual rule says detachment but what is written is army.

for some armies that makes sense, like hive fleets fighting together abotu the closest is the one fighting chaos where other hive fleets will leave them biomass since chaos doe snot leave behind biomass. For other armies liek orks, the orks are literally a society of mixed clans, eldar craftworlds have and do work together to goals, imperial guard detachments specifically work together as a way to fight cult incusion etc.

I know that it is awful late in this thread to have this question, but explain something to me:
For those of us who run a Super Heavy Auxiliary Detachment out of the same book as another detachment, say baneblades and an infantry regiment; Would we be stuck running both without any regiment bonuses as a SHAD precludes the selection, or does this new rule override that BRB rule?

Neither. Your Baneblade has the <REGIMENT> keyword, it just doesn't get to benefit from your regiment's faction trait. That's how it already works.
