I read last night that these datasheets are actually for the Chaos Daemons book. The ones in the Khorne Daemonkin Codex could differ. Does it say anything about that in the White Dwarf?

Thanks again for taking the time to chime in

Just that this 3 profiles are only for Chaos Daemons nothing else. So can be different for Daemonkin

Fair enough. I was asking because I don't read German.

I was going to rehost the images but I wasn't fast enough in trying save them.

Check your cache.

reupped

**Warhams-77**

Thank you for rehosting

I now saw that the Daemon symbol is on the sheets too so we can use them straight away with the Daemon Codex.

Hmmm... Looking like the book is actually a codex and not just a supplement. Interesting. I can't say I'm too happy about having to purchase yet another fething book, but I suppose this could lead to good things.

I'll give it a go. Currently on a public computer so it might not pan out.

They expand if you click the link. Or if you link to them directly, like the post right before you.

I mean, the chariots are fine in fantasy, but in 40k? Come on, those things look like I could take them down with a lasgun on energy-saving mode, nevermind actual firepower.

The Slaanesh cult really needs some new units there. And just making it wriggly and pink is probably not the solution (for me, that's more of a Tzeench aesthetic, just add a beak or some feathers).
Lets be honest for a moment. Slaanesh needs more tits, which is precisely the reason why our prude purveyor of plastic doesn't have even a mediocre selection of units in the first place and of those half seem to have been designed during 3rd edition at best.

yep

Chariot for daemon is such a boring concept. They could have relased cool fiends of slaanesh, who at least are pretty unique look wise, yet, they had to wast a few sprue on these unispiring chariot. Sometimes, it seems like GW doesn't have any imagination, and only can make variation of the same trope.

I'd like to know this also so I may prematurely rejoice about the fact I can now utterly decimate an Imperial Knight with ease.

well an imperial knight is going to be hitting you first since the axe hits at initiative 1, hopefully some of the rewards in the new codex help with survivability

Having WS10 and 5 wounds helps. I don't need to give him but one unit to aid and the Knight will be gone. And I have plenty of Invis to throw around unless the BT can't for some reason benefit from it. Don't worry about me, Knights will be dying left and right now.

Does anyone have translatioins on the Blood Thirsters?

Having WS10 and 6 wounds helps. I don't need to give him but one unit to aid and the Knight will be gone. And I have plenty of Invis to throw around unless the BT can't for some reason benefit from it. Don't worry about me, Knights will be dying left and right now.

As hard as you will be to hit, all he needs is a D attack of 6 though. Going before a Knight or having multiple bodies to soak attacks is pretty good.

**MasterSlowPoke**

W is Toughness in German.

What do Stormtrooper and Berzerker refer to in the German rules?

**changemod**

Is the Great Axe two handed? Because taking a reward to grant him both a bonus attack and the option to strike at I9 instead of D for flexibility seems a no brainer.

German is basically English read with a German accent, it's pretty readable.

True yeah.

Shocktruppen is almost definitely Deep Strike and Bezerker I'm guessing is Rage.

**Hollismason**

Anyway that 300 point one seems pretty insane, it looks like they still get Daemonic Gifts in addition to their Wargear they come with which is pretty insane.

Very Beatsticky.

**undertow**

I assume it's still legal to use the slightly older finecast Bloodthirster?

And can you summon the new ones with Possession?

**MasterSlowPoke**

Don't DoK come with Rage already? I'm hoping Rampage.

I imagine the old Bloodthirster is just a Bloodthirster (see Codex: Chaos Daemons) the new ones are the new names. Hence different models with different statlines and not summonable through Possession.

**Hollismason**

It sounds like with the Blood Points their bringing back the old school summoning stuff from 2nd edition, which is par for the course as GW has been consistently bringing back 2nd edition rules.

Still though gotta destroy 8 units, that's gonna be tough.

With the different names it's probably meant to be different, like you have a generic Bloodthirster and these will be separate, unique ones. Though I'm sure as long as it's clear what's what no one would have a problem with you using either.

if the new khorne codex's rewards are pretty good, hopefully these Bloodthirster variants will have access to them, otherwise I'll just be taking the usual 2 greater rewards and 1 lesser from the Daemon codex
