The Lord on Manticore can have a choice between Chaos Flail and Daemon Blade, with the Flail offering twice as many Attacks as the Blade but lacking any Rend or mortal wounds generation, and a choice between Chaos Runeshield, Daggerfist, and Chaos Lance. The Lance might be awesome, but since everyone and their grandma will be gunning for your Manticore, the 3+ Save and 5+ ward against mortal wounds might be the best choice. The Manticore is no slouch itself with Damage 3 on its Claws and Jaws attacks against {{AOSKeyword\|Monsters}}. Also, the Manticore no longer uses a damage table, which means maximum damage output all the time. The Lord's simili command ability allows a unit to re-roll the dice determining the distance it can move when receiving the Redeploy command, which may prove handy but is mostly situational.		*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls//aos_Chaos_Lord_on_Manticore_eng.pdf Chaos Lord on Manticore]''': (Monster, Behemoth, 270 pts.)

He’s gone through a reworking since his last outing. ~~He no longer has the ability to taken Unmarked~~ and ~~the buff for killing heroes~~, ~~but now~~ he ~~gains~~ a ~~unique command ability~~ for ~~each~~ of the ~~gods~~. ~~Khorne Princes create an 18 inch aura around them that half run and charge rolls for enemy units~~. ~~Tzeentch Princes add +1 to~~ a ~~friendly wizard’s casting roll~~. ~~Nurgle Princes make a friendly unit~~ within ~~12 inches cause d3 mortal wounds each time an enemy unit rolls at least one 6 to hit them (so if they get to attack twice they may cause a further D3 MW - errata~~'~~d from the absurd~~ '~~D3 mortal wounds for each 6 rolled~~'). ~~And Slaanesh Princes have~~ a ~~12 inch aura that gives~~ +1 to ~~hit rolls and attacks to friendly units if~~ a ~~MODEL (from that unit~~, ~~so depends on getting hit first)~~ is ~~slain by enemy melee~~. ~~All in all, the daemon prince now has a more clear role as General for any god-centric army~~.		*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls//aos_Deamon_Prince_eng.pdf Daemon Prince]''': (170pts.) He’s gone through a reworking since his last outing. A 3+ save with a token 6+ ward along with a drop in points. Can either take wings for a 12" move and flight, or can take a trophy rack that provides a battleshock-immune aura that increases in range each time he fraps a hero or monster. Can take either a sword for MW output, an axe for consistant armour-cracking, or paired talons to mulch infantry. What makes him REALLY tasty, though, are the heroic actions he can conduct depending on his Mark
	**''~~Wall of Blood~~:'' ~~A Khorne Daemon Prince sitting behind~~ a ~~unit of Chaos Warriors with Runeshields makes an excellent defense against~~ charge ~~happy factions like~~ the ~~Ogor Mawtribes~~.		**''Fiendish Speed:'' UNDIVIDED only. Gives him Strike First. Gone are the days of having this baked-in to his warscroll, but it's still here! Just means you have to now choose between lightning strikes or the boons the other Marks provide...
			''Pledge of Skulls:'' KHORNE only. Each time he kills a model he heals one wound. Those Clanrats sure look tasty...
			''Eroding Miasma:'' NURGLE only. Ward roles cannot be made within 3" of him. Absolutely fucking broken against Death armies.
			''Eldritch Artefact:'' TZEENTCH only. If used in the enemy hero phase, he ignores spells on a 2+. In your phase, he gets to cast a spell like a wizard, casting one extra if he already is a wizard. Cabalists LOVE this one.
			''Ecstatic Charge:'' SLAANESH only. +1A if they made a charge in the same turn. Simple and no-nonsense.

Completely overhauled in the new battletome, with an increase of 10 points. Can be equipped with a Rune-eched Blade dealing 4 Attacks at 3+/3+/-1 and Damage 2 paired with a Chaos Runeshield for a 3+ Save and 5+ ward against mortal wounds. Alternatively, can drop the Shield (reverting to a 4+ Save) in exchange for a pair of Axes of the Dark Champion dishing 8 Attacks at 4+/4+/-1 and Damage 2. So, gone are the random attacks and the double activation in melee when charged. The Exalted Hero no longer heals wounds when they kill a {{AOSKeyword\|Hero}} but now get +1 Attack while within 3" of any enemy {{AOSKeyword\|Hero}} or {{AOSKeyword\|Monster}}, as well as a free roll on the Eye of the Gods table at the start of the battle. Their value may lie in the cheap way of completing the Lust for Power battle tactic, but other than that they are only 15 point cheaper than the Chaos Lord on foot, who has better melee attacks and the retinue abilities (though the Chaos Lord cannot get a 5+ ward against mortal wounds, so the Exalted Hero is still a guy to consider).		*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls//aos_Exalted_Hero_of_Chaos_eng.pdf Exalted Hero of Chaos]''': (100pts.)

Same as regular chariot in being able to take a unit champion in bigger squads but the real change up comes with its mortal wound effect.

Each model can be armed with an Ensorcelled Weapon for consistency from more attack output, Fellspear for better charge damage and rend, or Daemonforged Blade can inflict more Damage and MW potentail. Overall all weapon options have merit and each model in the unit can be armed with a different weapon, so feel free to mix and match however you choose. In addition their mounts also attack with tearing fangs. This unit is also ELITE so can give commands to itself. Overall a solid anvil and hammer in one.		*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls//aos_Varanguard_eng.pdf Varanguard]''': (Battleline in Hosts of the Everchosen or Knights of the Empty Throne.

Further made dangerous under Cabalists Legion (additional casting attenmpt and spell) and with Mark of {{AOSKeyword\|Tzeentch}}. Potential for several to be taken for mass-buffs as they are cheap enough to pseudo-spam.

In addition 3 in 8 models in this unit add 1 to their damage characteristic giving them pretty good damage potential. Besides them the units attack profile is pretty good and with a 4+ save they are reasonable on defense. Their best ability however is their ability to pick a unit within 6" and roll a 4+ if successful that enemy cannot receive or issue command abilities. An excellent way to troll you opponent. In addition they add 1 to their wound rolls if within 12" of a friendly Be'lakor. This along with other synergies obviously encourages their use in Legion of the First Prince armies. Overall not the best combat unit in the book but they definitely have their uses.

	*'''Ogroid Theridons:''' (One unit Battleline Per Ogroid ~~Mermidon~~ in army Min: 3 190 pts) The new Ogroid unit taking the place as the resident frontal ~~assualt~~ troops of the army. All come stock with either Goroan Falchion and shield giving them a 4+ save instead of 5+ or a Goroan Great Axe for a better attack profile. Unit comes stock with a unit champion, standard bearer for ~~bravey~~ and ~~musican~~ for slightly better charge range. When fighting if any wounds or mortal wound were allocated to the unit you can add one to wound rolls if during the same phase. In addition once per battle you can add 1 to their attacks characteristic for one combat phase. However if you do this you can not use the Inspiring Presence command on them in the following battleshock phase. Overall a pretty solid unit, though does have a somewhat low ~~armour~~ save that is offset by their high wound density (5 base). While it is possible to make them battleline an army of these guys probably wouldn't be the most ~~versatile,~~ but would hit pretty hard. ~~Fill an niche in~~ the ~~army~~ as a points-efficient frontal ~~assualt~~ squad that can draw attention away from more valuable targets and great for counter-charges.		*'''Ogroid Theridons:''' (One unit Battleline Per Ogroid Myrmidon in army Min: 3 190 pts) The new Ogroid unit taking the place as the resident frontal assault troops of the army. All come stock with either Goroan Falchion and shield giving them a 4+ save instead of 5+ or a Goroan Great Axe for a better attack profile. Unit comes stock with a unit champion, standard bearer for bravery and musician for slightly better charge range. When fighting if any wounds or mortal wound were allocated to the unit you can add one to wound rolls if during the same phase. In addition once per battle you can add 1 to their attacks characteristic for one combat phase. However if you do this you can not use the Inspiring Presence command on them in the following battleshock phase. Overall a pretty solid unit, though does have a somewhat low armor save that is offset by their high wound density (5 base). While it is possible to make them battleline an army of these guys probably wouldn't be the most competitive (plus you would need a lot of Ogroid Myrmidons) but would hit pretty hard. Fills the role as a points-efficient frontal assault squad that can draw attention away from more valuable targets and great for counter-charges.

	*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls//aos_Furies_eng.pdf Furies]''': (Min:6, Max:18, 90pts Battleline in Legion of the First Prince) Returning to their undivided roots, They are speedy winged imps, they may have sharp claws and two wounds, but they will die quickly. Recently updated to include a 6+ save for whatever thats worth. They perfected and fused the Skink and clanrat tactic of slingshotting off Enemies. Essentially when they are picked to fight they can immediately retreat instead of fighting. So with the right manuevering they can make a move, charge, then retreat even further onto an objective (so essentially a potential 12+2d6+12 move in one turn) but bears repeating they need to actually need to not get hit first. Beyond that they also have an interaction ability with the new named Hero Eternus in that if they are within 1" of him at the start of the hero phase you get 1 additional command point. So honeslty if you want to bring him too they might be worth it as CP generators of all things.		*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls//aos_Furies_eng.pdf Furies]''': (Min:6, Max:18, 90pts Battleline in Legion of the First Prince) Returning to their undivided roots, They are speedy winged imps, they may have sharp claws and two wounds, but they will die quickly.
