====Named Leaders====

*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls//aos-warscroll-Kairos-Fateweaver-2019-en.pdf Kairos Fateweaver]:''' (440pts, Daemon Wizard) Kairos has a pretty decent melee profile and decent survivability, just like all Lords of Change. He also shares their rule for better casting rolls and auto dispell endless spells. one of his minor gimmick that can replace one dice rolled by any player with any desired result like fate dice. His primary ability is being a Master wizard, able to cast/unbind 3 times and he knows all spells from friendly Wizards' warscrolls wholly within 18". Woo. (No seriously woo! So long as Kairos is within 18" of a Changecaster, he knows Pink Fire which he is much better at casting. Having access to the Curseling's Glean Magic spell can yield fun results, steal a spell and execute the enemy wizard with the following) his unique spell  ''Gift of Change'' is fairly strong as it deals a flat 6 MW while Kairos is full health, one shotting most heroes and turning them into spawns. The downside of taking him is he's less versatile or less support than a normal Lord of Change; he costs more and can't take Artefacts and Command Traits. Still useful for that single, guaranteed dice roll. Ensure an opponent fails a critical save. 
**The spawn is created in the hero phase. This means you can retreat in the movement phase and run your spawn to an objective, force a unit in melee to pile-in towards the spawn, use it to string out huge infantry blobs or maybe just block your enemy's movement phase with the 3" don't-come-near-me.

*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls//aos-warscroll-The-Changeling-2019-en.pdf The Changeling]:''' (170pts, Deamon Wizard) A fun little hero unit. Can redeploy him be for the game on your opponent's side of the board 3" from everything at the end of your first movement phase and at the start of each enemy turn you can give a unit within -1 to hit and half their movement Until your turn. Good on certain occasions like when your enemy brings a few fast units to keep you from moving up the board or getting close to artillery. Also interesting is that he can use the spells of ''all'' Wizards around him. He has lost his copy enemy weapon attacks, but gained the ability to cast two spells per turn, so you'll wan him further from melee than before.
**Use the Changeling in conjunction with Changehost to land a Purple Sun of Shyish or Realmscourge Rapture in your enemy's lines. Coupled with Kairos, they will wreak havoc in your enemy's army.

*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls//aos-warscroll-The-Blue-Scribes-en.pdf The Blue Scribes]:''' (160pts, Deamon Wizard) Now a very powerful caster. They can automatically cast anything on 2+ with 1d6 and to unbind their attempt, thought you needed a 9 or more? This allows you to cast ''any'' overpowered spell with impunity. Don't want to be a jerk? No problem, you can also just use their own spell, which gives nearby Tzeentch Wizards re-rolls to cast. Those Casting Value 9 Herald Spells getting you down? Don't forget the Blue Scribes can attempt to learn any spell cast near them so if you get your Pink Fire off using your arcane tome, the Blue Scribes can learn it on a 4+ and in subsequent turns cast it on a 2+. Give them Tzeentchs's Inferno too and have fun.

*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/Downloads//aos_warscroll_eyes_of_the_nine_en.pdf Vortemis the All-Seeing]:''' (160pts, Arcanites, Mortal, Wizard) Must be taken with the Eyes of the Nine. He's essentially just a magister with a unique spell that gives a free CP to spend on the At the Double, Forward to Victory, or Inspiring Presence commands.

====Arcanites====

*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls//aos-warscroll-Gaunt-Summoner-of-Tzeentch-2019-en.pdf Gaunt Summoner]:''' (Arcanites Mortal Daemon Wizard 230pts) A very mediocre Wizard statline but attached to some impressive magic. The Gaunt Summoner a great horde-roasting spell, can cast twice per turn and can use one cast once per game to summon a Daemon unit, making him an excellent addition to any army. The fact that he has the Daemon keyword-only makes him better. The only real problem is the lack of mobility and survivability. To use his impressive spell to best effect, you want him close to the enemy, but 5 Wounds and a 6+ save aren't too helpful in letting him survive that.
**uses for summons: Bloodletters can inflict MWs, Daemonettes are still the best shredders and fast movers, Plaguebearers are walls, Horrors provide shooting and annoying way to be survivable, while [https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls/aos_Furies_eng.pdf Furys] can grab objectives.
** The Balewind Vortex can help mitigate the need to be close. If an entire horde of enemies wishes to approach, they do not want to be within the 18" bubble of death that his spell becomes while atop the vortex.
**Can also have his save pimped out. Give him Paradoxical Shield, stick him in a Balewind Vortex, and he's got a 3+ save, 2+ if you can get him in cover. Suddenly your squishy wizard is not so squishy anymore. 
**The Balewind Vortex combined with the Arcane Sacrifice command trait gives your Infernal Flames spell a truly sickening 27" range.  The changes to the spell make this huge range less necessary, but the threat range is very intimidating, and although wiping out a 40 man horde with one cast is a lot less likely now it's still a whole lot of damage that it can kick out.
*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls//aos_Gaunt_Summoner_eng.pdf Gaunt Summoner on Disc of Tzeentch]''': (Arcanites Mortal Daemon Wizard 280pts.) give a summoner +1 wounds, 16" Flying movement and a +2 for melee save if normal ground fighter catches him.  Not bad for 20 points. (Not actually a Disciples of Tzeentch unit. This one is from the Slaves to Darkness book, and according to the current rules can only be taken as an ally. Apparently the Disciples don't know how to give their summoners discs.)
*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls//aos-warscroll-Curseling-en.pdf Curseling, Eye of Tzeentch]:''' (180pts. Arcanites Mortal Wizard) Wow. Vilitch, who used to be overcosted and underpowered, may now be one of the best Chaos casters, albeit he is now a generic Hero. He can cast and dispel two spells a turn. Any spell he unbinds, he can immediately cast himself with nobody being allowed to unbind his attempt. He also has the Glean Magic spell with which he can steal unique spells off enemy Wizards. And in combat, he's awesome, too. He has three weapons, one a Sorcerer staff with bad To Wound and worse To Hit rolls, but d3 damage if it connects and then two weapons which are basically Crom's weapons except one of them has extra Rend. Yeah. He hits hard, he can cast twice, and he can cast everything he unbinds. His main problem is the First Rule of One. He only has three spells, two of them the generic spells and the third one that only works if the enemy is packing Wizards, and even then the result may not help him, so unless you give him a good lore spell, he will be dead weight on the spells you can cast.
**Can also be decent in combat with Paradoxical Shield giving him a 3+ rerollable save. Since he can cast twice a turn, have him cast Mystic Shield and Arcane Infusion on himself to make him kill and nearly indestructible. 
**...and just as we thought we had something, the nerfbat came mercilessly lest something be better than the pansies they got boxed with. Arcane Cataclysm busted Not-Vilitch to one cast and unbind, but capable of re-rolling to unbind...unless you find an enemy wizard within 18" and steal one of their casts on a 4+, which is quite sinister, especially in a magic-deficient army. His unique spell will also see plenty of use as it gives an Arcanite unit within 9" a 6++ Ward.
*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls//aos-warscroll-Fatemaster-en.pdf Fatemaster]:''' (140pts. Arcanites Mortal) a pure Flying melee leader in a magic focused faction.  while not the strongest fighter he does have a 2+ save in melee unless his opponent is a monster or flys. His Command ability is why you'd take him, as it lets all Tzeentch units wholly within 9" re-roll hit rolls - you can squeeze a lot of stuff into that radius, especially small, hard hitting units like flamers, Ogroids or Skyfires.
*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls//aos-warscroll-Magister-en.pdf Magister]:''' (120pts. Arcanites Mortal Wizard) One of your good cheap mortal wizard that can also shoot a bolt from his staff and like to turn things into Spawns. He can cast additional spells if your casting roll was a double, even if it failed but the additional attempt is also a double he dies and may turn into a Spawn instead. His strong unique spell creates a spawn each turn it kills something right into combat (this will be FAQed soon) creating dangerous disruption. you may use him as a cheaper Gaunt Summoner, Using Fate dice to grant 2  successful casts, and tying down foes with free spawn.
*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls//aos-warscroll-Magister-on-Disc-of-Tzeentch-en.pdf Magister on Disc of Tzeentch]:''' (140pts. Arcanites Mortal Wizard) take a Magister and let him fly around the battlefield with +1 wound and better melee saves.
*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls//aos-warscroll-Tzaangor-Shaman-en.pdf Tzaangor Shaman]:''' (130pts. Arcanites Brayherd Wizard) The mage you want in a Tzaangor-heavy army. Thanks to his Disc, he's not all that bad in melee, but that is still only a last resort, as he's too important to risk. The fun part is that he is a 6 wound Mage with high movement and a decent spell: Enemy unit takes D3 Mortal Wounds. Afterward, you can add a Tzaangor to a nearby unit for every model the spell killed. Roast some Saurus Guard and fill up your Beastmen all in the same breath. The Shaman also carries a nice energy drink with him that, once per game, lets him cast twice and re-roll casting rolls while he's at it. Use to best effect in an Arcanite Cabal Battalion for three re-rollable spells.
*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls//aos-warscroll-Ogroid-Thaumaturge-en.pdf Ogroid Thaumaturge]:''' (170pts Arcanites Mortal Wizard) For all intents and purposes, the Ogroid Thaumaturge is a Tzeentch-marked Doombull. He has eight Wounds without counting as a monster, a 5+ save, rerolls hits & wounds if he took damage earlier in the phase, and his spell deals D6 MW and heals him for each kill, so he's pretty tanky. He also moves 6", deals D3 Mortal Wounds for successfully charging and has three weapon profiles in melee, all of them good. His staff is just like any other mage staff, but hitting on 3+ and dealing three knocks, then his horns have two attacks with great Hit and Wound rolls, great Rend and constant damage 3, and finally, his hooves are exactly 2 Hammer-Liberators worth of knocks. But wait, that's not all. This guy is just amazing. Having him and a Tzeentch army and NOT playing him is akin to sacrilege. He's powerful, he's versatile, and his model looks amazing.

====Daemons====
*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls//aos-warscroll-Lord-of-Change-2019-en.pdf Lord of Change]:''' (400pts. Daemon Wizard, Behemoth, 30 Fate Points) Casty, scary lord, now with fourteen Wounds because he got a new model. Can choose between a bunch of weapon profiles in addition to his staff but the Gatling Rod of Sorcery will generally be your best bet because a Lord of Change in melee is a dead Lord of Change unless you're sending him war machine hunting. His true power is the hero phase, were he can Auto ends an endless spell for free, leans any spell he unbinding on a 9+, and can always get double of the highest dice rolled when he rolls for magic
*{{anchor|FWExalted}}'''[https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/resources/PDF/fw_warscrolls/AOS-Exalted-Daemon-of-Tzeentch.pdf Exalted Daemon of Tzeentch] (Forge World):''' (515pts  Daemon, Behemoth), A Lord of Change pre-new model, with 20 wounds. This also means it only has the staff to fight with, severely hampering its usefulness with the new freshness available.  He also has a Casting Value of 9 as opposed to 10 for some reason.
*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls//aos-warscroll-Changecaster-en.pdf Changecaster, Herald of Tzeentch]:''' (150pts. Daemon Wizard, 12 Fate Points) in addition to throwing small firebolts behind other Horrors, Has a pretty cool combination of tricks going for him. He has a unique spell with a casting value of nine, which is pretty fucking high for dealing D6 MW. Also, once per game, he can cast with three dice instead of two, making nine much more reachable. Also, if he manages to cast a spell with a roll of 9+, he can cast an extra spell that turn.
*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls//aos-warscroll-Fluxmaster-en.pdf Fluxmaster, Herald of Tzeentch on Disc]:''' (170pts. Daemon Wizard, 12 Fate Points) Oddly the disc is disturbingly powerful in melee. However, the Herald on it wants absolutely nothing to do with melee. Ultimately, the Herald on Disc is a confusing beast, best left alone. His unique spell can potentially do nine Mortal wounds for a casting value of 5, though it will average only one and a half, but hey in Matched Play you only get one Arcane Bolt anyway so it's better than your herald sitting on their fucking hands. His real usefulness is that he is manic fast and can keep up with your Flamers and Screamers so they benefit from the loci. 
*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls//aos-warscroll-Fateskimmer-en.pdf Fateskimmer, Herald of Tzeentch on Burning Chariot]:''' (170pts, Daemon Wizard, 24 Fate Points) put a Herald on a battle chariot, equipped with both the better casting roll tome and extra weapon and drawn by Screamers that deal more damage to monster and MW something on the flyby. His unique spell can damages each enemy that surrounds it. The main reason to actually take this guy is to make Burning Chariots Battleline if he's your general, which allows you to spam them in low points games. This is an 8 wound, fast moving spellcaster so pretty good for the points you pay.

====Slaves to Darkness====


* '''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls//aos_Deamon_Prince_eng.pdf Daemon Prince]:''' (210pts. Slave to Darkness, Daemon) Fast and decently killy. Isn’t a Wizard any more. He’s gone through a reworking since his last outing. Now he gains a unique command ability for each of the gods. Like a discount Lord of change, his CA only adds +1 to one friendly StD wizard’s casting roll. You take him because he is a melee-oriented Daemon hero that helps a little with casting.

* '''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls//aos_Exalted_Hero_of_Chaos_eng.pdf Exalted Hero of Chaos]:''' (90pts. Slave to Darkness, Mortal) A shit Aspiring Deathbringer with D6 3+/3+/-1/1 attacks and can fight twice. He gets a +1 to hit vs Characters and Monsters and if he somehow kills one he heals D3 wounds. Yeah, probably don't?

*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls//aos_Chaos_Lord_eng.pdf Lord of Chaos]:''' (110pts. Slave to Darkness, Mortal) Cheaper and more killy, with a decent command ability to boot. Don't send him alone against characters more expensive than he is, or he will die. If your taking large units of StD for melee, he is a big Force multiplier, letting them fight twice. 

*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls//aos_Chaos_Lord_on_Demonic_Mount_eng.pdf Chaos Lord on Daemonic Mount]:''' (170pts. Slave to Darkness, Mortal) Your budget (for a Slaves to Darkness character) mounted Lord. He is eligible to take both mortal and Daemon items (that's getting to be a rarity these days), ignores MW on 5+ and heals when killing things with his hammer. His Command Ability allows a Chariot or Knight unit to re-roll charge rolls and adds +1 to their Hit rolls. Gorebeast Chariots hitting on 3+? Yes, please. A good pick if you want a Tzeentch melee goon.

*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls//aos_Chaos_Lord_on_Karkadrak_eng.pdf Chaos Lord on Karkadrak]:''' (250pts. Slave to Darkness, Mortal) The new mounted lord has arrived, and he rode in style as a full plastic kit. How does this character scream build around? Movement 9", 9 wounds and the always welcomed 3+ save, this lord on battle lizard loves keeping up with his fellow cavalry and bring nothing short of utter destruction. Without any enhancements, this character boasts no less than 13(!) attacks across 4 profiles, has mortal wound potential both on the charge and with his sword, and can heal with his attacks with his big axe. Sporting classic mortal wound protection that Slaves to Darkness units are spoiled with, and the same command ability as his horse-riding brethren, he is an excellent pick for a Slaves focused army. Pair him with some Chaos Knights or Chariots and reap all the skulls you can.

*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls//aos_Chaos_Lord_on_Manticore_eng.pdf Chaos Lord on Manticore]:''' (280pts. Slave to Darkness, Mortal, monster, Behemoth) The Lord on Manticore can have a choice between Flail and Sword, with the Sword being better in most circumstances and a choice between Runeshield, Daggerfist, and Lance. The Lance might be awesome, but since everyone and their grandma will be gunning for your Manticore, the 5+ save against Mortal Wounds might be the best choice. The beasty hits at least as hard as the lord, and re-rolls all Hits against Monsters for its Fangs and Claws attacks. His Command Ability allows a unit of Chaos Warriors wholly within 18" to re-roll charge, wound, and Battleshock rolls.

*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls//aos_Chaos_Sorcerer_Lord_eng.pdf Chaos Sorcerer Lord]:''' (110pts. Slave to Darkness, Mortal, wizard) Yes. he is one of the best cheap wizards you can take. While an ok fighter by wizard standards, he is amazing at support for Mortal StD. First, without even casting anything, he can grant one friendly Std unit re-rolling saves. Then, when he casts, his unique spell that provides re-roll Hit, Wound and Saves for a friendly StD unit wholly within 18".  If your running Mauders or Chaos warriors consider a Sorcerer Lord instead of a Magister.

*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls//aos_Chaos_Sorcerer_Lord_on_Manticore_eng.pdf Chaos Sorcerer Lord on Manticore]:''' (260pts. Slave to Darkness, Mortal, wizard, Monster, Behemoth) Blessed with the same awesome "re-roll saves" ability as the normal Lord, this here rides a Manticore, who is just as killy as the one the normal Lord gets. Additionally, the Sorcerer Lord gets the Wind of Chaos spell, which is potentially devastating to a large unit blob.  Due to the different spell, this version is a better fit for the army than the foot sorcerer if you're not running many other StD units as he he can buff his own save with his ability and nuke things with his spell.

====Beasts Of Chaos====
must be included in a Phantasmagoria of Fate battalion

Updated: The 2020 Disciples of Tzeentch Battletome has beasts of chaos as an ally and you no longer need Phantasmagoria.

*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls/aos-warscroll-beastlord-en.pdf Beastlord]:''' (90pts) A melee fighter but can't keep up with his compatriates (GW expected you to always but them in BoC Ambush and let the rest of the army run and charge). are good and cheap heroes that can improve the rest of beastmen combat if they kill something.

*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls//aos-warscroll-great-bray-shaman-en.pdf Great Bray Shaman]:''' (100pts) your Beastman speed booster (especially Tzangors)  and your other BEASTS OF CHAOS endless spell caster. They know Devolve for dragging enemies closer to you and away from objectives and support auras.

*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls/aos-warscroll-doombull-en.pdf Doombull]:''' (100pts) the leader bullgor, a Big guy with a big axe, that let other Bullgors wound better.

*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls//aos-warscroll-dragon-ogor-shaggoth-en.pdf Dragon Ogor Shaggoth]:''' (180pts) Lots of attacks that can explode into more, some speed, lot of wounds, and the most useful is the ability to heal when ties for going first is rolled and having a healing spell.
