The Chaos Daemons Datasheet is your gateway to commanding hordes of otherworldly entities on the tabletop battlefield of Warhammer 40,000. This document provides all the vital statistics and special abilities needed to field these terrifying servants of the Ruinous Powers, turning your strategic visions into a chaotic reality.
Decoding the Chaos Daemons Datasheet
A Chaos Daemons Datasheet is essentially a profile card for each unit in the Chaos Daemons army. It contains key information that dictates how the unit performs in-game. This includes movement speed, weapon skill, ballistic skill, strength, toughness, wounds, attacks, leadership, and save characteristic. Understanding these stats is crucial for effective army building and tactical deployment. Mastering the data sheet is the key to crushing your enemies under the weight of your demonic legions!
The datasheet also outlines the special abilities and wargear that each unit possesses. These can range from passive buffs that increase survivability to powerful psychic powers that can turn the tide of battle. The special rules often tie into the specific Chaos God the daemon serves (Khorne, Nurgle, Tzeentch, and Slaanesh), granting unique advantages that reflect their patron’s essence. Here’s a glimpse of how datasheets structure the information:
- Unit Name: Identifies the daemon type.
- Stats: WS, BS, S, T, W, A, Ld, Sv.
- Abilities: Unique skills and powers.
Furthermore, the Chaos Daemons Datasheet includes weapon profiles, detailing the range, strength, armor penetration, and damage of each weapon the unit can wield. This is critical for assessing the unit’s offensive capabilities and determining its optimal targets. Many datasheets also include keywords, which are used to determine which stratagems and abilities can affect the unit. Understanding these keywords unlocks powerful synergies and tactical options. For example, some stratagems might only target “Khorne” daemons, making that keyword particularly valuable when building a Khorne-themed army. Different weapons may give your units devastating impact in the battlefield.
