Why Play Daemons of Chaos

There are a number of reasons to play daemons of chaos, so we'll deal with the minor ones first. The Daemons are pure, concentrated evil - destruction incarnate, really. They have some pretty slick models and a lot of options in the army, however, these reasons are overshadowed by the premier reason to play the Daemons.

Do you hate losing? I mean, do you REALLY hate losing to the point where you enter a fugue state immediately after you rage quit when a turn doesn't go your way? Well then Daemons of Chaos is the army for you! This is the army book written by the infamous Matt_Ward himself, arguably his first attempt to break an entire game system and utterly buttrape its canon. Yes, he did it in Fantasy before 40K. With Daemons of Chaos, you can field generic lords that can tear apart special characters of other armies, magic items that are immune to things that effect magic items, the most fuck-off troops in the game, and did we mention that the entire army at least causes fear and has a 5+ ward save? Play Daemons and you may never lose again.

Named Characters

Note: Under the current edition, named characters tend to be overpriced; you can pretty easily emulate most named characters from scratch and save yourself some points. That said, a few named characters do have abilities and wargear or wargear combos unique to them, so if you absolutely need to have them, go ahead. Just make sure you're really getting your points worth.

Generic Characters

Note: While named characters are judged against their generic counterparts, generic characters are examined based on their role in your army.
