Editing Warhammer 40,000 8th edition (section)

====[[Daemon|Chaos Daemons]]====
*Unsurprisingly, the only thing that prevented a complete Chaos victory after the opening of the Great Rift was the persistent refusal of the Chaos Gods to work together and press their advantage. Their fixation on the Great Game has allowed the other races a chance to renew their resistance.
*The scattering of the Primarchs was originally Tzeentch's idea, as he had foreseen that if they were left to their own devices the Emperor would defeat Chaos entirely.
*More information on the War in the Rift and the clash of champions that ended it:
**Tzeentch sought to determine the rules of the challenge, and was immediately opposed by the other three Chaos Gods. The only concession Khorne makes to the Architect of Fate's absurdly long list of stipulations is his agreement to limit the number of combatants.
**Slaanesh's champions initially claim the advantage, but after failing to halt the advance of Nurgle's forces it quickly turns into a toss-up.
**The War in the Rift ends inconclusively. Though Tzeentch technically won the Chaos Gods' contest of champions through the trickery of Kairos Fateweaver, Khorne's resulting shout of rage destroyed the hellplane that was supposed to be the winner's reward. 
*Be'lakor has been seen fighting alongside legions from all four Chaos Gods, and is said to have pledged his aid to several renegade Marine Chapters. It is believed he's plotting something, but nobody knows what it could be.

=====[[Khorne]]=====
*They remembered [[Tuska Daemon-Killa]]!
*An overview of the Blood Legions of Khorne is given. Among other types, the Red Tide Legions overrun their foes with Bloodletters while the Brazen Thunder Legions focus on mobility with Bloodcrushers and Flesh Hounds.

=====[[Tzeentch]]=====
*Tzeentch's Scintillating Legions are described. Types of these forces include the Flamer-centric Conflagration Legions and the unpredictable Legions Anarchus.
*The organization of one of the Conflagration Legions present at the Siege of Mordian is described in detail, complete with a rundown of the backstabbing conga line that comes with leading one.
*Kairos' left head lets him see into the past, and the right head allows him to look into possible futures. However, both of them are blind to the present and can only judge his current position in time by the pages written in his Tome of Destiny.

=====[[Nurgle]]=====
*Each subtype of Nurgle's Plague Legions embodies a specific aspect of decay, from the Infectius Legions that first seed his foul illnesses to the Epidemic Legions that spread and proliferate like their namesake. 
*An overview of Septicus' Plague Legion is given. 
*Horticulous Slimux from Age of Sigmar's Blightwar boxset is officially introduced into 40k. His lore remains unchanged, being Nurgle's first Plaguebearer and his chief gardener.
*A new character called Rotigus is introduced, a Great Unclean One sorcerer worshiped by the ignorant as a fertility god that has gained much favor from Nurgle in recent days. Sometimes he answers prayers, always in a predictably Nurglite manner. He is sometimes called "the Rainfather" due to the diseased storm known as Nurgle's Deluge that hovers over him.  	
*Two more Heralds of Nurgle are introduced: Spoilpox Scriveners and Sloppity Bilepipers. Spoilpox Scriveners are in charge of making sure that Plaguebearers keep counting their tally. Those Plaguebearers found performing especially sloppy work are infected with the Chortling Murrain, a disease that causes constant laughter, and are forced into the role of Sloppity Bilepiper, essentially a court jester of Nurgle who can make mortals and daemons alike literally laugh themselves to death. The Bilepipers don't last long in their new "position", since when the Chortling Murrain goes into remission they're transformed into a set of jolly gutpipes for another Bilepiper to use.
*Once Nurgle attempted to create a pox that gnawed flesh. [[Fail|It ended up acting like a disinfectant instead.]] His daemons have refused to speak of it since.
*The newest strains of the Zombie Plague cause Nurglings to develop inside their victims; when the zombie is destroyed, the Nurglings burst out and swarm anyone nearby.
*Nurgle has devised a new plague that allows his forces to bypass [[Gellar Field]]s. The "Gellarpox" infects both those individuals who maintain the Gellar Field generators as well as the generator itself, subtly influencing them to weaken the protection the field provides and eventually turning the starship the generator is a part of into a biomechanical hellscape full of mutant horrors.

=====[[Slaanesh]]=====
*Slaanesh's Legions of Excess are much more eclectic in their focuses, as befitting of the Dark Prince's arbitrary nature. The most obvious example of this is the Courante Legions, which treat battle as if it were some kind of bizarre dance right down to choreographed maneuvers. 
*Another example Daemonic Legion is shown, this time of the [[Harry Potter|Slitherine]] Host that participated in Cadia's fall.
*The Infernal Enrapturess is introduced as a variant of the regular Slanneshi Herald, playing a harp made off of the [[grimdark|intestines and muscles of a dude.]]
