Daemon of Slaanesh

They have Hatred (Daemons of Khorne) and Armour Piercing (2).

Daemon of Tzeentch

Daemons of Tzeentch treat Daemons of Khorne and Slaanesh as Suspicious Allies, and Daemons of Nurgle as Desperate Allies. All of the rules below also apply to mounts.

They have Hatred (Daemons of Nurgle), and re-roll Ward save results of 1. Wizards that are a Daemon of Tzeentch can also re-roll channelling results of 1.

Daemonic

All models with Daemonic have Fear, Immunity (Poisoned Attacks, Psychology), Magical Attacks (including all weapons) and Ward save (5+) (except mounts). In addition, they are also subject to the following special rule:

Daemonic Instability: When a unit of Daemons loses a combat it must take a special kind of Break test called a Daemonic Instability test, instead of taking a normal Break test. To do this, use the following procedure:

1) Calculate combat result as normal and roll 2D6.

2) If the dice roll is a double 1 or double 6, something unexpected happens:

Double 1 Reality Blinks: All Wounds suffered by the unit this Close Combat phase, including any Wounds suffered by characters that have joined it, are restored, and any models removed as casualties in this phase immediately return to play in their earlier positions. Wounds restored in this manner still count as having been inflicted for the purposes of combat results.

Double 6 Banished! Remove the unit from play as a casualty.

3) Now (assuming the unit has not been wiped out when resolving a double 6) apply the difference in combat results as a penalty to the Daemons' LD characteristics. For every point by which the 2D6 roll exceeds this modified LD value, the unit suffers one additional Wound, with no saves of any kind allowed.

If characters are present in the unit, the controlling player first allocates Wounds to the unit (up to their current Wounds), then divides remaining Wounds as equally as possible amongst any characters. Once all Wounds have been allocated, the penalty to the Daemons' LD is discounted. They can, be rerolled if the battle standard is within 12", use the General's Inspiring Presence rule, and/or be tested on unmodified LD if the unit is Stubborn or Steadfast. If a Daemonic unit somehow is Unbreakable, it takes no Daemonic Instability test.

Extreme Contagion

Fleeting Dance of Death

Formless Horror

At the start of each Close Combat phase, choose an enemy model in base contact with the Changeling. The Changeling may increase any or all of his WS, S, T, I and A characteristics to match those of the chosen enemy model until the end of that phase. If the chosen model has more than one value for a characteristic (as is the case with a mounted model), the Changeling may always choose the higher value. The Changeling cannot match the characteristics of an enemy that is fighting in a challenge, unless the Changeling is fighting in the same challenge.

The Hand of Destiny

One enemy model, chosen by the Daemon player, is doomed to perish by Amon 'Chakai. All close combat and shooting attacks against this model will automatically hit. This lasts until the end of the battle, even if Amon 'Chakai is killed.
