Here is the official thread for all things Chaos Daemons in 10th edition. How you all liking the changes? Personally, I'm not too bothered, though I wish that there was some bonus for going monogod.

The shadow in the warp refers to what the Tyranids do with the warp when they are collected. So the title is a bit misleading.

Thanks for the correction. I changed the title to the correction faction name.

So, blue horrors are actually good for the enemy. They are -1 LD, making battle shock test easier for the enemy

Cackling Horrors (Aura): While an enemy unit is within
6" of this unit, if this unit contains one or more Blue
Horror models, subtract 1 from that enemy unit’s
Leadership characteristic.

Same with the Necron Psychotherapist.

How effective have people found Be'lakor so far? He seems a bit underwhelming in terms of damage output (no innate melee rerolls and swingy d6+1 dmg) but he looks on the whole to be a reasonable Swiss army knife, providing decent melee and ranged support as well as his choice of buffs, not to mention his portable aura of shadow.

I'm trying to figure out if I need him in my tzeentch army, which will have three squads of pinks with fluxmasters, some burning chariots, 2-3 daemon princes, and a LoC. I feel without belakor the daemon princes might not be able to do enough work in close combats to protect the rest of the army.

He's honestly good, not amazing. But worth his points and almost an auto include if for nothing else the shadow aura delivery + not being shot turn 1. I like starting him with a keeper and kairos on board with shelaxi in reserve and watching my opponent realize they probably getting charged turn 2 and can't do anything to soften the blow. Rest of the army is basically stuff to play the objectives(pinks, nurglings. Changeling etc) and bog down enemies units/clear enemy chaff(flamers).

He's not gonna stop any dedicated melee unit from charging, but he's not an oppressive offensive force, he's utility for the army that happens to hit decent as well

I've managed to play an incursion game so far everything is Slaanesh and had allot of fun.

Next time I'm hoping to move up to 1500pts and get a keeper of secrets in the list, I'm also gonna split the seekers into 2 smaller units, and take syll'esse or infernal enrapturess instead of the transweaver.

Something like this.
