ABILITIES |
Daemonic Herald of Khorne (Aura): While a friendly LEGIONES DAEMONICA KHORNE CORE unit is within 6" of this model, each time a model in that unit makes an attack, you can re-roll a wound roll of 1. Skullmaster: In your Command phase, select one friendly BLOODLETTERS CORE unit within 6" of this model. Until the start of your next Command phase, each time a model in that unit makes a melee attack, an unmodified hit roll of 6 automatically wounds the target. |

Datasheet-related Stratagems
No sight does more to drive the legions of the Blood God into a killing frenzy than the head of an enemy champion lopped off in a fountain of gore, and another worthy skull added to the charnel mountain upon which Khorne’s brass throne is set.
Slayer of Champions (Aura): While a friendly LEGIONES DAEMONICA KHORNE unit is within 6" of this model, each time a model in that unit makes an attack, an unmodified wound roll of 6 inflicts 1 mortal wound on the target in addition to any normal damage. A unit can only suffer a maximum of 6 mortal wounds per phase as a result of this ability.
You can only use this Stratagem once.
The infernal armouries of Khorne’s daemon legions overflow with macabre artefacts of unbridled slaughter.
The daemonic cavalry and chariots of the daemons of Khorne slam into the enemy lines like a brass-shod avalanche of death.
- For each 6-8, that enemy unit suffers D3 mortal wounds.
- For each 9, that enemy unit suffers D3+3 mortal wounds.
Many daemons can shift their forms at will, drawing on the powers of the warp to manifest new weapons, powers and otherworldly abilities in the blink of an eye.
Daemons are not mortal creatures, their forms shifting between the warp and realspace, passing through solid barriers with ease.

LEGION OF SKULLS Specialist Detachment Stratagem The teeming masses of Khorne’s lesser Daemons can shatter worlds when they are gathered in large numbers. Use this Stratagem when choosing your army. Pick a KHORNE Chaos Daemons Detachment (that is, a Chaos Daemons Detachment in which every unit has the KHORNE keyword) from your army to be a Legion of Skulls Specialist Detachment. BLOODLETTER units in that Detachment gain the LEGION OF SKULLS keyword. | ||
This datasheet has HQ Battlefield Role. Full list of Chaos Daemons units sharing same Battlefield Role follows:
- Engagement Range: 1" horizontally + 5" vertically.
- Models cannot be set up within Engagement Range of enemy models.

If a model has more than one melee weapon, select which it will use before resolving any attacks. If a model has more than one melee weapon and can make several attacks, it can split them between these weapons however you wish – declare which attacks are being made with which weapons before any attacks are resolved. If the selected weapon has more than one profile that you must choose between, you must declare which profile is being used at the same time. Different attacks made with such a weapon can be made using different profiles if you wish.
If your unit is making attacks with more than one melee weapon against a unit, and those weapons have different characteristics profiles, then after you have resolved an attack with one of those weapons you must, if any other weapons with the same characteristics profile are also being used to make attacks against that unit, resolve those attacks before resolving any attacks against the target with a weapon that has a different characteristics profile. Note that all the attacks you have declared are always resolved against the target unit even if, when you come to resolve an individual attack, no models in the target unit remain in range (this can happen because of models being destroyed and removed from the battlefield as the result of resolving other attacks made by the attacking model’s unit first).
- Each close combat attack is made with a melee weapon.
- A model makes attacks using the close combat weapon profile if it has no other melee weapons.
- If a unit attacks with multiple weapons, all attacks made with weapons that have the same profile must be resolved before resolving attacks with the next.
The LEGIONES DAEMONICA keyword is used in the following Chaos Daemons datasheets:
Daemons are madness given form. Their very bodies are fashioned from the stuff of the warp, and are difficult to destroy through conventional means. By far the surest way to banish them, short of ritual witchery, is to fight them at close quarters where a warrior’s conviction and faith may strike as surely as their blade.
Instead of a normal Save characteristic as described in the Warhammer 40,000 Core Book, each LEGIONES DAEMONICA datasheet has a Daemonic Save characteristic (abbreviated to DSv on that datasheet’s profile line). This characteristic has two values. The first characteristic is used when a melee attack is allocated to that model, while the second characteristic is used when a ranged attack is allocated to that model. In either case, this saving throw cannot be modified in any way.The WARP LOCUS keyword is used in the following Chaos Daemons datasheets:
The KHORNE keyword is used in the following Chaos Daemons datasheets:
The TZEENTCH keyword is used in the following Chaos Daemons datasheets:
The NURGLE keyword is used in the following Chaos Daemons datasheets:
The SLAANESH keyword is used in the following Chaos Daemons datasheets:
- KHORNE
- TZEENTCH
- NURGLE
- SLAANESH
Example: If you include a Daemon Prince in your army, and you decide it is a Daemon Prince of Khorne, its keyword becomes KHORNE and its Prince of Chaos ability reads, ‘While a friendly LEGIONES DAEMONICA KHORNE CORE unit is within 6" of this model, each time a model in that unit makes an attack, re-roll a hit roll of 1.’
Daemonic legions tear through the fabric of realspace, malevolent entities flickering into being like phantasms from a nightmare. Worse still, as terror and panic take hold of their victims, so their mortal souls become ever easier prey for the entities pouring through from the warp.
During deployment, you can set up this unit in the warp instead of setting it up on the battlefield. If you do so, then in the Reinforcements step of one of your Movement phases you can set up this unit anywhere on the battlefield that is more than 9" away from any enemy models, or more than 6" away from any enemy models and wholly within 6" of a friendly WARP LOCUS model that was on the battlefield at the start of your turn. If that WARP LOCUS model has an Allegiance keyword, the unit being set up can only use this ability if it has the same Allegiance keyword.If every unit from your army has the LEGIONES DAEMONICA keyword, then in the Reinforcements step of one of your Movement phases you can instead set up this unit anywhere on the battlefield with one of the following restrictions:
- Wholly within your deployment zone and more than 3" away from any enemy models.
- Neither wholly within your deployment zone nor within your opponent’s deployment zone, and more than a number of inches away from each enemy unit, equal to the current Leadership characteristic of that enemy unit (to a minimum of 3" and a maximum of 9").
To encounter a creature of the warp is to face a being utterly anathema to the fundamental laws of reality. Even the most emotionless warrior feels an unnatural primal terror while in their presence.
While an enemy unit is within 6" of this unit, subtract 1 from that enemy unit’s Leadership characteristic and subtract 1 from any Combat Attrition tests taken for that enemy unit.When daemons pour into realspace, maelstroms of warp energy spill through in their wake. Manifest emotion and unbridled, nightmarish energies twist all that they touch, reshaping the landscape into bizarre forms and tormenting mortal beings.
This ability can be used to apply Warp Storm effects to eligible units from your army.

If the result of the wound roll is less than the required number, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. An unmodified wound roll of 6 always successfully wounds the target, and an unmodified wound roll of 1 always fails. A wound roll can never be modified by more than -1 or +1. This means that if, after all the cumulative modifiers to a wound roll have been calculated, the total modifier would be -2 or worse, it is changed to be -1. Similarly, if, after all the cumulative modifiers to a wound roll have been calculated, the total modifier would be +2 or better, it is changed to be +1.
If an attack inflicts mortal wounds in addition to the normal damage, resolve the normal damage first. If an attack inflicts mortal wounds in addition to the normal damage, but the normal damage is subsequently saved, the target unit still suffers the mortal wounds, as described before. If an ability modifies the damage inflicted by a weapon, and that weapon can inflict mortal wounds in addition to the normal damage, the modifier does not apply to any mortal wounds that are inflicted (unless the rule specifically states otherwise).
- Each mortal wound inflicted on a unit causes one model in the unit to lose one wound.
- No saving throws can be made against mortal wounds.
- Mortal wounds inflicted by attacks in addition to normal damage always apply, even if normal damage saved.
The CHAOS keyword is used in the following Chaos Daemons datasheets:
The LEGIONES DAEMONICA keyword is used in the following Chaos Daemons datasheets:
The CHARACTER keyword is used in the following Chaos Daemons datasheets:
The DAEMON keyword is used in the following Chaos Daemons datasheets:
The HERALD keyword is used in the following Chaos Daemons datasheets:
If an attack is made with a weapon that has an ability that says it ‘automatically hits the target’, no hit roll is made – that attack simply scores one hit on the target unit. An unmodified hit roll of 6 always scores a hit, and an unmodified hit roll of 1 always fails. A hit roll can never be modified by more than -1 or +1. This means that if, after all the cumulative modifiers to a hit roll have been calculated, the total modifier would be -2 or worse, it is changed to be -1. Similarly, if, after all the cumulative modifiers to a hit roll have been calculated, the total modifier would be +2 or better, it is changed to be +1.
- Normal Move: Models move up to M".
- Cannot move within Engagement Range of any enemy models.
Many daemons fashion forms for themselves that exhibit strange and esoteric weapons, with which they give vent to their spiteful natures. While most fight with blade or claws, often they can also lash out with spiked tails, envenomed pseudopods or other bizarre appendages. Daemons may also ride to battle atop other daemonic creatures that make attacks with weapons of their own, or may be attended by daemonic minions who swipe at those who draw near their masters.
Many Chaos Daemons weapons are malefic weapons. Such a weapon will have an ability that reads ‘Malefic’ and then a value, such as 2 or 4. Each time the bearer fights, it makes a number of additional attacks with that weapon equal to that value, and no more than that number of attacks can be made with that weapon while resolving that fight. If a model is equipped with more than one malefic weapon, it can make additional attacks with each one it is equipped with.Unless otherwise specified, malefic weapons are never affected by effects or abilities that allow models to make additional attacks, or abilities that would add to, subtract from, or improve their characteristics in any way.
Example: A Skullmaster is equipped with a blade of blood and its Juggernaut’s bladed horn, which has the ‘Malefic 4’ ability. Each time this model fights, it makes a number of attacks equal to its Attacks characteristic with its blade of blood, then an additional 4 attacks with the bladed horn profile.
The CAVALRY keyword is used in the following Chaos Daemons datasheets:
- Declare targets of the charge (must be within 12").
- Charge roll = 2D6".
- If insufficient to move charging unit into Engagement Range of all targets, charge fails.
- If charge successful, models make their charge move.
- Cannot make a charge move within Engagement Range of any unit that was not the target of the charge.
Note that CHARACTERS cannot use their Aura Abilities while performing actions.
