That said, they require someone else to summon them onto the field, so they'll always be the allied force unless you're really dumb/ballsy enough to hedge all your bets on summoning enough daemons at the start of the game. The tradeoff of this is the fact that your daemons won't be subject to any turn-based decay.

	**The big tradeoff is how they're deployed. During initial deployment, One IC psyker must make psychic tests in order to summon each unit of daemons on the field. However, one failure and any remaining squads are thrown into reserves.

Fortunately, this is available to both your daemons as well as to any allied ~~traitor~~ warlords.

	*'''Bound Daemon Brutes:''' Oddly both a Troops and Elites choice, meaning you'll need to see a LOT of them. Their weapons are quite effective at S5 AP3 with ''Rending (6+)'' and ''Murderous Strike (5+)'' on top of ''Hammer of Wrath (1)'', and being T5 with a 4+/5++ save and 3 wounds a model makes them more than a little durable for a squad of brutes.

	====~~Lords~~ of War====		====Lord of War====
	*'''[[Ka'bandha\|Bound Ka'bandha, Daemon General of Signus]]:'''		*'''[[Ka'bandha\|Bound Ka'bandha, Daemon General of Signus]]:''' The biggest, angriest and fuckingest [[Bloodthirster]] known to man. Being the ''Gargantuan'' subtype makes him pretty much on tier with a Primarch, with 8s for most stats except BS5 I6 A7 Ld9, immune to any stat mods, ''Eternal Warrior'', forces anyone to re-roll ''Poison'' and ''Fleshbane'' rolls, able to walk past any terrain (with wings that he can trigger for 14" movement like a jetpack - because fuck you) and able to shoot wherever and whenever. That said, this makes him essentially unable to react against anything smaller than a Primarch. Defensively he's pretty well-set with a 3+/4++ save, ''IWND (5+)'', and a 3+ ''Adamantium Will'' save lest anyone forget that he serves [[Khorne\|something that hates psykers]], though this'll only apply to Force weapons thanks to the ''Gargantuan'' subtype making him immune to any other powers.
			**''Skull-Keeper:'' Ka'bandha's WT only works on any daemons of the Heedless Slaughter dominion. Any daemons of this dominion within 12" get ''Rage (3)'' for even more devastating charges. He also gives an extra reaction in the Movement phase.
			**''Eternal Rivalry:'' So you'll notice that he has ''Hatred (Sanguinius)'' as a rule, as he's got a bone to pick with the Fabulous Hawk-Boy on account of [[Signus Campaign\|Signus]]. That's only half of the story; should the two be fielded, Ka'bandha also gets a special secondary objective that requires him to challenge Sangy to a duel. If you kill him, you score 2 VP, but if Ka'bandha dies, you forfeit 1 VP - all on top of the VP scored for Slay the Warlord.
			**''Armaments of Ka'bandha:'' His weapons are essentially consolidated to a melee and ranged profile. In melee, he's got a ''Two-Handed'' S+4 AP2 behemoth with ''Sunder'', so he can carve apart tanks with laughable ease. At range, he's got a close-quarters machinegun with 6" S6 AP2 with Assault 7 to drown lesser mobs.
			**''Scythe of Hatred:'' So after all of his attacks in melee (including ''Hammer of Wrath (d3)'' and ''Rampage (d3+1)'' - which won't trigger as much as you'd think due to him counting as 10 models for outnumbering) and after accounting for Sweeping Advances, he can make a singular Hellstorm Flamer attack. Any units with models inside this template take a number of S6 AP- hits equal to the number of wounds he caused this round, so you can easily use this to cut through a few more units after wiping one in a fight.

			* Very customizable. Since each unit isn't as clearly defined as in 40k, you can pretty much model them however you please.
			* Your troop options have the stat line of an Ogryn, the armor of a Custodian, and close-combat weaponry to match a Space Marine. Only Knights are more elite than you.
