Editing Warhammer 40,000/8th Edition Tactics/Chaos Daemons (section)

=====<span style="color:#01bbe3;">General</span>=====

*'''Lord of Change:''' You big spell caster lord. A slightly cheaper, less powerful Kairos, though the Rod of Sorcery can boost its Smite range up to 30" and is WS2+ compared to Fateweaver. Only able to cast 2 powers compared to fate-weavers casting 3. Can deny twice. Super durable with the Impossible Robe granting a 3++, and -1 to all damage received (to a minimum of 1) from the warlord trait. It also got a bit cheaper from the index. With the new relic (3++) and the new WL trait (-1D taken), a single chicken will be very hard to kill.
**If you can don't have the points, he can also be ok in melee as an Exalted Greater daemon. can Handle infantry and Staff of Tzeentch can create Spawn when it kills characters (if you have the point reserves). improve casting variant is preferred but don't forget that any Greater daemon can easily wipe the floor with a guardsman squad.

*'''Changecaster:''' New dumb name for regular Herald. S3(4) T3 W4 means he is rather unimpressive. Grants a +1S aura for Tzeentch Daemons which with the codex means all your shooting attacks benefit from this too, making him ideal for escorting Flamers and pink horror hordes. He can heal himself in melee if you mess up and get tar-pitted by guardsmen. He can be quite pricey at 83pts with a Staff of change, but you get a Wizard with  Sv4++, Knows a 24" Smite, two Tzeentch powers, and Can cast & deny once. 
*'''Fluxmaster:''' Disc Herald. Same as the normal one, but with {{W40kKeyword|Fly}}, 12" movement, and an additional (weak) attack for 21 more points. An interesting use for this guy and his +1S aura is keeping him near Flamers, whose flame attacks are Str: User. You can also have him escort screamers so their attacks are S7, allowing them to wound most vehicles on a 4 instead of 5s.
*'''Fateskimmer:''' Chariot Herald. A Herald again BUT now with two times the wounds AND +2T while still being a character? Check! And 9 Attacks? Check! And 14" movement? Check! Also {{W40kKeyword|Fly}}? Check! He can take three Blues with him (on the chariot himself so no changes to his statline and he is still a single model unit, but they only cost 5 points), for FUN anti-psyker rule (enemy psykers take -1 to cast within 9" of him, and if he happens to be around the scribes, enemy psykers within 12" would be ill-advised to try to cast anything, really). A very solid HQ, durable and killy (if he manages to hit something), while being quite the bargain at 135(140) points (says 150/155 with Chanting Horrors in the codex though).
