Introdoction

Angry codices are an attempt to improve internal and external balance. Check out the Angry Codex hub for the other angry codices.

Random is fine, that is what chaos is all about. However. When you put in 5+ different tables with more than 30 different results, it will require a lot of looking up charts and rules. This codex will attempt to get rid of the time gobbling monster, which is the endless number of charts and tables. While this reduces the random, I believe it will create a more smooth game experience.

Disclaimer

Games Workshop in no way endorses this codex nor any of the other Angry Codices. No infringement is intended with this work, nor any other of the Angry Codices. The intent of the angry codices is NOT to make GW go out of business, but rather to improve the quality of the hobby, which leads to a happier and larger player base.

Editing

Feel free to edit wordings to improve readability. Add anything you like to any of the Angry Codices, except the Angry Necrons, Dark Eldar and Daemons, for these documents you should instead first argue in the discussion page before adding or changing anything. If someone objects to something you have written or changed, you should civilly discuss and prove why your idea is good and how it fits with fluff/is more balanced etc. etc. If no conclusion can be made then the Angry Pirate has the final say, if he does not say anything remove any changes from the official codex. If you don´t agree with an edit the Angry Pirate has made you can write in the talk page of the relevant talk page or in my page by clicking the first blue link. Angry Pirate (talk)

List of Changes and reasoning:

• Removed random rewards. - Too time consuming, they brought very little tactics and fun for the time they took to generate and keep track of.
• Added the three bloodthirster types from the Khorne Daemonkin book and made 2 new greater daemons for each of the other gods. - While they are not individually customizable the fact that there is 3 for each god should provide a fair bit of customizability. This is to make up for the loss of rewards.
• Heralds can be bought as unit upgrades, allows you to take heralds without using up the slots for greater daemons.
• Skarbrand +100 points + stat increase. - Skarbrand should be the king of bloodthirsters, now he is.
• Removed the 2+ re-roll-able Tzeentch exploit. - Broken, fixed it.
• Daemons of opposite alignment don´t like each other. - Fluff, immersion, fun.
• Heavily buffed all the daemonic disciplines. - Don´t even remember what they did, nobody took them, they were not fun, fixed it.
• Horrors are a ranged unit. - too many psychic dice to handle. You can get almost as many dice, you just have to work for each dice. Horrors were basically power dice generators which is fairly boring. Their role was inactive, Tzeentch should be active, always seeking to change the battlefield.
• Blood Letters are anti light-medium infantry. - It fits that blood letters shed a lot of blood. This also further fleshes out the Daemonettes as an anti-armour unit.
• Screamers of Tzeentch are not as good against infantry, Initiative 1. - They were a bit too good, was not sure if the removal of 2+ re-roll-able was enough.
• Nerfed Soul Grinder.
• Skull cannon of khorne has shorter range. - It should not be hiding in the back, blood for the blood god!

Allie Matrixes:

• Note this has a major game impact.
• Daemons of Slaanesh count as having the mark of Slaanesh, this works the same way for the three other Daemon archetypes.
• For the purpose of allies treat heretic armies such as the one presented in Forge World as chaos space marines without marks.

Warlord Traits, Detachments and Formations

Daemons only have access to the Strategic-, Command-, Personal- and Tactical Warlord Traits from the main rulebook, not the warlord traits table from the official codex. Daemons do not have access to any formations and deatchments beside Combined Arms Detachment and Allied Detachment in non-apocalypse games.

Minions of Chaos

Notes

Daemonology Discipline

Unless otherwise noted psykers may not generate their powers from the Daemonology discipline.

Summoning Greater Daemons

When you succesfully manifest the Possesion psychic power you may choose between any of the 4 Greater Daemons worth 250 pts:

• Bloodthirster
• Supreme Mutator
• Maggot Lord
• Keeper of Secrets

Summoning Heralds

Change the effect of Sacrifice to the following: Sacrifice is a blessing which targets a single lesser daemon of the same mark as the psyker within 12". Replace the chosen lesser daemon with the respective Herald, not Exalted Herald, of the same mark.

Random Strength, AP etc. etc.

Whenever a weapon details a random element this is rolled after the target has been chosen but before rolling any dice. For example if a unit of Pink Horrors wish to shoot. First you choose your target, this could be a unit of Terminators, then you roll for the Strength and AP-value of the attack. Then finally you roll to hit and to wound, finally rolling saves if applicable. Or another example a unit Plaguebearers is engaged against two units, first you direct how many attacks go against each enemy unit, next you randomise the Poison value, then you roll to hit, to wound and saves if applicable.

Cannot Trust Anyone in the Warp

When a Daemon of Slaanesh says "all friendly models gain x" it only affects Daemons of Slaanesh, Chaos Space Marines without marks or with the mark of Slaanesh. This works the same for all four archetypes of daemon.
