I love when people knock mathematics and then totally botch the calculations because s8+ means nothing to eternal warrior daemons unless they somehow found FNP

They no longer have eternal warrior it was not included in the FAQ. It was rewritten to include an invulnerable save and add ‘fear’
So ST 8 will take them out

It states the get the Daemon rule from the codex as well as Fear and a 5++. I suggest you go and give it another read.

Q: Do models chosen from Codex: Chaos Daemons and / or the White
Dwarf, August 2012, Codex: Chaos Daemons official update have the
Daemon special rule from the Warhammer 40,000 Rulebook, or do they
have the Daemon army special rule from Codex: Chaos Daemons?
(p27)
A: All models from Codex: Chaos Daemons and/or the White
Dwarf, August 2012, Codex: Daemons official update have the
Daemon army special rule listed in Codex: Chaos Daemons
with the addition of the Fear special rule from the Warhammer
40,000 rulebook and a 5+ invulnerable save.

I did go look it up and I have to say you are completely right version 1.2 kind of cleared that up. As I was looking i at the breath of chaos it only says armor and cover so I guess invulnerable saves can be taken?

Then as for the blood angles, storm shields would be a defense but what I was thinking was the death cult assassin. you get 3 for 120 they act independently so 1 can charge soak up over-watch then then the rest or even another squad.
