Quote :: HQ:Special characters:

* Kugath the Plaguefather
* Fateweaver, Oracle of Tzeentch
* Skarbrand the exiled one

God-specific Greater Demons: (significantly more potent and costly than the CSM Major)

* Bloodthirster (don't even try using psychics agasint these guys)
* Keeper of Secrets (dance marine-boy dance...you'll see)
* Lord of Change (tons of shooting, can split fire)
* Great Unclean (a tough Monstrous Creature who wounds on a 2+!)

Special character Heralds:

* The Masque (Slaanesh)
* Epidemius (Nurgle)
* The Bluescribes (Tzeentch)
* Skulltaker (Khorne)

Standard god-specific heralds (four)

-You can take 2 heralds as 1 HQ choice but the army must be led by either a GD or one of the named demons.

Elites:

* Fiends of Slaanesh
* Flamers
* Beasts of Nurgle
* Fleshhounds (with a named character upgrade option)

Troops:

* Bloodletters
* Daemonettes
* Plaguebearers
* Horrors (with a named character upgrade option)
* Furies (do not fill compulsory troops slots)
* Nurglings (do not fill compulsory troop slots)

Fast attack:

* Bloodcrushers
* Seekers of Slaanesh
* Screamers

Heavy:

* Soulgrinder
* Daemon Prince (tons and tons of options)

Wargear and Gifts:

* Chariots are coming to 40k, and are upgrade options for Heralds.
* Many new psychic powers (including a hilarious Slaneesh one which is a much saner version of lash and may inspire some truly comic dreadnought conversions)
* Khorne has an ability to ignore Psychic and Force Sword damage on a 2+!
* Most of the standard daemons are our old favorites (power weapons for knorne, poison for nurgle, etc...)

Anyone else excited for this book?

I see it as a nice way to build both a 40k and Fantasy army all at the same time. Just some nice magnets bases and voila!

I'd like to see the Daemon Prince options for sure. I like the idea.

I could see my self doing Tzeentch.
