Chaos Daemon Codex Review - Khorne Artifaects, Stratagems, Army Rules and Stratagies

Chaos Daemon Codex Review - Khorne Artefacts, Stratagems, Army Rules and Stratagies

Before we get into reviewing the units in the Codex, I think its good to talk about the war gear, stratagems, warlord traits, artefacts etc.  All of these smaller things throughout the Codex seem small, but each one has an affect on all the units within the Codex.

I find it easier to discuss these items now, get the knowledge out there and when the review of the units comes out I can streamline each review without having to reference or explain all the rules.

So to start off we are going to talk about the things that affect the whole army:

Daemonic Abilities, Legions and Loci:

• Abilities:

All Daemons have certain abilities that always affect them no matter what, for the Khorne units these
abilities are Daemonic, Unstoppable Ferocity, Daemonic Ritual.

Here is a little preview:

40k Battle Report - 6th Ed Chaos Daemons Vs Dark Angels Game 2

Dark Angels VS Chaos Daemons - 2000 Points - (March 16th, 2013)

A few days later and some adjustments to my list we go for round 2!  I switched it up a bit and brought less HQ's and more Hounds and Crushers along with a Daemon Price.  His list was a bit different as well, he dropped some Bikes and brought a unit of Tactical marines in a Rhino to hold an objective in his deployment zone.  After the crap show that was the first game and my reserve rolls I figured I would change it up and relish the fact I could deploy my entire army on the board.

Here are the lists:

Daemons:

Bloodthirster - 50 points rewards

Karank

16x Bloodletter - Reaper upgrade, 20 points rewards

16x Bloodletter - Reaper upgrade, 20 points rewards

16x Bloodletter - Reaper upgrade, 20 points rewards

6 Bloodcrushers - Hunter upgrade, 20 points rewards

11 Flesh Hounds

Soul Grinder - Phlegm upgrade Mark of Khorne

Skull Cannon

In this game I kept nothing in reserves.

40k Battle Report - 6th Ed Chaos Daemons Vs Dark Angels Game 1

Dark Angels VS Chaos Daemons - 2000 Points - (March 12th, 2013)

I visited my friend after I had a chance to look over and decide what I wanted to do with the new Daemon Codex.  For the first game I brought a ton of HQ's because that seemed to be the way they wanted it played, but I think I ended up bringing to many and playing the army the complete wrong way cause this game did not end well for me. I did get pictures for this game but I lost them some how.  I decided to go back to my one love and play a Khorne army again.

Here are the lists:

Daemons:

Bloodthirster - 50 points rewards

2x Herald of Khorne - 30 points rewards, locus of wrath

Karank

Skulltaker

16x Bloodletter - Reaper upgrade, 20 points rewards, Instrument of Chaos

16x Bloodletter - Reaper upgrade, 20 points rewards

16x Bloodletter - Reaper upgrade, 20 points rewards

4 Bloodcrushers - Hunter upgrade, 20 points rewards, Icon of Blood

10  Marines with Drop Pod

40k Battle Report - 750 point 6th Edition Tournament

40k Battle Report - 750 Point Tournament

My local GW was holding a 750 point 40k tournament, so I decided to sign up with my Eldar.  The tournament brought I believe 16 people or more.  The rules were simple same FoC as usual and they would dicate the missions.

There were three different Tau armies, a Chaos Space Marine army, Dark Angels, Space Marines, Eldar, two Dark Eldar, and Imperial guard.  I can not remember the rest of them.

Here was my list:

Farseer - Spirit Stones, Runes of Witnessing, Guide, Fortune, Singing Spear
10 Dire Avengers - Exarch, Dual S-Cat and Bladestorm
5 Fire Dragons
5 Pathfinders
Wave Serpent - Spirit Stones, Scatter Lasers
Wave Serpent - Spirit Stones, Scatter Lasers, S-Cannon


The action was pretty fast paced with it only being 750 points and they wanted to get 4 games in so there was no time for pictures.

Space Marines VS Eldar - 2000 Points - (January 19, 2012)

I have been playing some games for the last few weeks with my Eldar but wanted to get some more painted (painted 7 vehicles in two weeks) before I took any pictures.  I am far from done for painting but at least the vehicles look decent.  I went to my buddies to play his space marine army for what might be his last time as he is (and you can see from some of the models) converting them to Dark Angels.  So look out for some Dark angel batreps coming in the near future as well.

Here are the lists:

Space Marines
3 Rhinos
Land Raider
Storm Talon

We rolled off, and got the Emperor's Will, we had 4 objectives total and we also got hammer and anvil deployment.  Space Marines won the roll to go first but I managed to steal the initiative.

Grey Knights VS Chaos Daemons - 2000 Points - (January 12th, 2013)

Its been a while! I have been starting my Eldar army and have been playing with them the last month or so but with Christmas season and everything else I did not have much time to post.  I am back for my first post of the new year and oddly enough its a Daemons again but I will have a Eldar post coming soon.

I went to my buddies to play a few games and we started off with Daemons vs GK, I brought an all Khorne list because that had the best chance of doing anything against the GK. He used a different type of list then he normally does and it was very terminator heavy with some Paladins thrown in there, I think this is the smallest list I have ever seen him field.

Here are the lists:

Grey Knights:
Librarian
10 Terminators - Thunderhammers/Halbreds (reserves)
5 Paladins - Apothecary
Rhino
5 man Strike Squad
Land Raider - Lascannon, Multi Melta
Dreadnought (reserves, on the stormraven)
Stormraven

Chaos Daemons:
Bloodthirster - Blessing of the Blood God, Unholy Might
Skulltaker
3x Bloodcrushers - Fury of Khorne, Icon
3x Bloodcrushers - Fury of Khorne
8x Bloodletter - Fury of Khorne
8x Bloodletter - Fury of Khorne

8x Bloodletter - Fury of Khorne

8x Bloodletter - Fury of Khorne
8x Bloodletter - Fury of Khorne
6x Flesh Hounds - Karanak, Fury of Khorne
Daemon Prince - Wings, Iron Hide, Unholy Might, Mark of Khorne, Blessing of the Blood God, Death Strike

Daemon Prince - Wings, Iron Hide, Unholy Might, Mark of Khorne, Blessing of the Blood God, Death Strike

Daemon Army

Grey Knight Army

We rolled off and got Emperors Will and Dawn of War,

The preferred Daemon wave was, Bloodthirster, Flesh Hounds, one Bloodletter squad, Bloodcrushers with Icon and one Daemon Prince.
