=====Heroes=====
*'''Wargor:'''Unless you want a cheap BSB, you'll probably only see him around for his Beast Banner (which grants a unit +1S) which is pretty awesome in units of Warriors or units of Bestigors. He is fragile, so at least give him heavy armour, a shield and Gnarled Hide for a 2+ armour save. Even then make sure you have another character/champion in the unit, Eye of the Gods now applies to him and he has to declare and accept challenges- you don't want your BSB turning into a spawnnnnnnnaAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!

*'''Gorebull:''' Not quite as good as a Doombull but decent none the less and makes for a cheap Chaos Lord stand-in. Like above, best used in units of Trolls with the Blackened Plate to make them immune to flaming attacks and frenzied.

*'''Bray-Shaman:''' A cheap scroll caddy, what every Chaos Warrior player wanted. You can make them level 1 and spam Wildform or Miasma on everything, or give one Shard of the Herdstone, surround him with a cluster of other Bray-Shamans (now that there's no duplication limit) and watch as your magic phase is better than your local elf player.  Remember you can't have any higher than 12 dice in the magic phase unless you are using the ''Khaine'' magic rules or Storm of Magic.

*'''Herald of Khorne:''' If you're going to be tossing around units of bloodletters and you want to make them better, then you need these guys; they're the only character that can join them.  They're pretty good at melee (especially when charging), although a little fragile (T4, W2, 6+/5++).

*'''Herald of Tzeentch:'''' Kind of a weird one.  He's the only Daemon character who can be a level 2 wizard and isn't a hyper expensive Lord.  Not great on his own, and not great in melee; his Loci are also odd- one is a throwaway that boosts the number of nearly useless Blue Horror tokens dead Horrors create; one gives him and his unit a random Strength value each turn; and the last gives +1S to Tzeentchy damage spells he or his Horror unit casts.  Additionally, Horrors are best used in a "Multiple Small Unit" (MSU) fashion- field many smaller, more expendable units so they can dominate the magic phase.  If you are taking one big unit of Horrors and are using the ''Khaine'' magic rules, then it's totally worth taking him with the "+1S spells" Locus; otherwise, the Bray-Shaman is probably a better choice for a cheap, low level wizard.

*'''Herald of Nurgle:'''  If you're going to be tossing around units of plaguebearers and you want to make them better, then you need these guys; they're the only character that can join them.  Very durable hero and surprisingly hard hitting, and can be upgraded to a level 1 wizard.   

*'''Herald of Slaanesh:''' If you're going to be tossing around units of daemonettes and you want to make them better, then you need these guys; they're the only character that can join them.  They're also decent fighters (they may have difficulty against high Toughness or well armored enemies), and can be upgraded to be a level 1 wizard; they are super fragile though (T3, W2, 5++).

*'''Exalted Flamer of Tzeentch:''' A web-supplement character, they are cheap and do provide you with an excellent range option! Their grapeshot is deadly (S = D6 +3) and they can march and shoot with a unit of flamers, stick a few around and clear all the chaff crap or aim at bigger, elite units.  They get Regeneration because of Warplame? Sure, it means nothing if you have sufficient numbers of Exalted Flamers. Oh, and Skull Cannons can deal with Regeneration save. 

*'''Exalted Hero:''' A slightly smaller and less angry Chaos Lord. Pretty good in combat and can also be a BSB. Again, give him some decent armour and a ward save, or use the Dawnstone.  Very adaptable, for example a BSB on a Chaos Steed with Halberd, Helm of Many Eyes, Dawnstone and poisonous slime gives him a 1+ re-rollable armour save keeps him well protected and has enough Strength to do decent damage... However, do not be tempted to spam multiples of them with the new rules, Ld 8 means that he will run away like a girl if he charges a steadfast unit, as even 4 kills is countered by three ranks and a banner.

*'''Chaos Sorcerer:''' Yet another sorcerer, aren't you spoilt for choices and it is only the hero slot. A little bit too expensive to be a scroll caddy, but you could give him the Skull of Katam. You might go insane, but no one is relying on your leadership anyway.
