hey guys, I don't play chaos marines, but friend gave me a copy of the boon table for study before we have a game. im just wondering do daemon princes get to roll on the boon table? can they turn into chaos spawn?
thank you.

Daemon Princes do not have Champion of Chaos, so their only way of rolling on it is by purchasing a Gift of Mutation, which has limits to what results can be rolled (Spawndom cannot be rolled for GoM)

So, no, they can't become a chaos spawn.

thanks. that would have been hilarious!
question: if a chaos space marine becomes a daemon prince, does he keep his previous boons?

They can also have Boon of Mutation cast on them, which doesn't have restrictions on Spawndom (although it does on Daemonhood). So yes, a Daemon Prince could potentially become a Spawn, but it's highly unlikely.

Ah, good catch! Had forgotten about that, most likely because it is a Tzeentch power...


Hmm... To tell the truth, I'm unsure if they keep their boons. I know they lose all Special Rules and Wargear, but I'm unsure if Boons are, RAW a Special Rule/item of Wargear.

EDIT: I should say that HIWPI, Boons are not kept. But that's just me (as I'm not certain that Boons count as Special Rules/Wargear)

The rules for spawndom states exactly what you keep.
