Hello everyone! Zak Ludick here from Cape Town, South Africa and this is a Warhammer 40k - Datasheet Review post!

What is it all about? It is not there to just give a stat. It is there to give MY review of the unit in the game of Warhammer 40,000

The last of the Indexes! A new challenge!

Right, I am finally ahead and by my best estimations as I explained in this Post, I should be able to keep ahead of the release curve and get the remainder of the Indexes reviewed before those Codex releases.

So I embark on a new challenge. I have calculated that there are roughly 148 reviews to do. I have chosen my frequency and have given myself 96 days to review them all. That means that I am aiming at Day 96 being the 21st of July 2025!

Today is Day 17/96.
I have reviewed 26/148.

Time elapsed: 17.70%
Review Completion: 17.56%
Practically on Par!

Hobby Fund - Working myself into the clear

With my hobby posts, I generate a hobby fund. 50% of the income goes into the fund. At the moment I put all my HBD earned from Warhammer posts into my alt account @zakl.hobbyfund.

I am collecting funds in the following ways:

  • Blogging about Warhammer to earn HBD
  • Accepting donations - Can be sent directly to @zakl.hobbyfund in HBD
  • Selling some of the collection to friends.

At the current count I am paying off some hobby debts. I still have $226 to pay off!

Every bit counts!

Back to the review!

Chaos Daemons, Daemon Prince of Chaos

10th Edition Index

Each of the Chaos Space Marine Legion Indexes had their own Daemon Princes. In this case, this is a Chaos Daemon Prince not part of a Chaos Space Marine army, bit directly connected to the Daemon armies.

When you select this unit, he will have to pick his patron deity.

This model is 190pts.

Let's check their stats and abilities!

Stats

Movement 8"
Toughness 10
Save 2+/4++ (armor/invul/Feel No Pain)
Wounds 10
Ld 6+
OC 3

Weapons

Standard weapons: Infernal Cannon, Hellforged Weapons

Daemonic Allegiance

When you pick this unit, you must select one of the four Greater Chaos Gods as its patron. When it does, it gains the corresponding buff!

Khorne: Add 2 to Strength of this model's Hellforged Weapons
Tzeetch: Add 3 to the Attacks of this model's Infernal Cannon
Nurgle: Add 1 to this model's Toughness
Slaanesh: Add 2" to this model's Movement.

Ranged Weapons

Infernal Cannon

24" Range, 3 Shots, Hitting on 2+, S5, AP-1 and 2 Damage each.

Melee Weapons

Hellforged Weapons - Strike

6 Attacks, Hitting on 2+, S8, AP-2 and 3 Damage each.

Hellforged Weapons - Sweep

14 Attacks, Hitting on 2+, S6, AP0 and 1 Damage each.

Abilities

Deep Strike - If this unit arrives on the Battlefield from Reserves, it can be set up anywhere on the battlefield more than 9" from enemy models.

Prince of Darkness (Psychic)

While a friendly Legiones Daemonica units are within 6" of this model, those units have the Stealth ability. (That is -1 to Hit when shooting at those uits_

Unholy Vigour

Once per battle, at the start of any Phase, this model and use this ability and gain a 3+ Invul save until the end of the phase.

Thoughts

Granting Stealth to the allies nearby allies is great. Perhaps with a Mark of Tzeetch he would be able to sit back next to other shooting units and blast away at the enemy.

The other options all help if you had something in mind.

That makes 14 Chaos Daemon Datasheets Reviewed putting them on 28% Completed! The total of the remaining Index reviews is now 119.

Thank you for reading!
