There’s so much diversity available to a hobbyist looking to collect Chaos Daemons. In fact their’s at least 5 armies in one. And the next edition rules help reinforce and support those who focus their collection on the diverse options of the Dark Gods.
Chaos Daemons are an aggressive faction that thrives in the maelstrom of close combat yet still being a formidable presence at range.
Every unit possesses an invulnerable save. So that renders them impervious to most armor-busting weapons.
Then there’s the army-wide Deep Strike ability. This allows them to emerge from warp portals and engage their enemies before a single shot can be fired at them. With these inherent strengths, Chaos Daemons can establish themselves as a relentless and fearsome force on the battlefield.
The presence of a daemonic legion alone is enough to tear reality at the seams, casting a dread pall across the gaming tabletop.
The Shadow of Chaos empowers Chaos Daemons, weakening their foes and enhancing their own abilities.
By capturing objectives and infusing the battlefield with otherworldly madness, Chaos Daemons can create dangerous no-go zones for their opponents. Daemonic Incursion Detachment allows the opening of Warp Rifts even closer to the enemy, further amplifying their destructive potential.
Baying hordes of lesser warpspawn, under the command of Greater Daemons, epitomize the destructive essence of their Ruinous Power. Each Greater Daemon represents the unique attributes of its progenitor, with the Keeper of Secrets embodying Slaanesh's grace and swift striking prowess.
Among these daemonic figures, Be'lakor, the Dark Master, stands out as a master manipulator and schemer. His power cloaks the battlefield in darkness, corrupting all who draw near and turning even his own daemonic kin into formidable entities. The Blade of Shadows, wielded by Be'lakor, can effortlessly dismantle both man and machine.
Chaos Daemons possess a wide array of deadly melee weapons, granting them devastating power in close combat. The Extra Attacks weapon ability allows these daemonic warriors to unleash a flurry of attacks, taking full advantage of their prehensile appendages, claws, and vile implements. Skarbrand, known for his gruesome beheadings, wields the axes of Slaughter and Carnage, exemplifying the destructive might that daemonic power can bring to bear on the mortal universe.
The Daemonic Incursion Detachment offers several powerful Stratagems that synergize with The Shadow of Chaos, intensifying their strength as realspace weakens.
Daemon generals can create localized squalls of warp-gloom on controlled objectives, further solidifying their dominion over the battlefield and causing significant morale degradation for the enemy. The Corrupt Realspace Stratagem serves as a potent defensive tool, weakening enemy morale and preventing them from retaking captured objectives.
Chaos Daemons, the harbingers of the warp's malevolence, are a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield. With their unrivaled ability to rend reality, an army of Chaos Daemons strikes fear into the hearts of mortals and wreaks havoc upon the galaxy.

With units led by Greater Daemons and enigmatic figures like Be'lakor, Chaos Daemons epitomize the ruinous power of the Dark Gods.

From the Extra Attacks ability that allows them to unleash a flurry of deadly strikes, to the signature weapons wielded by formidable figures like Skarbrand, Chaos Daemons possess the means to dismantle their enemies with unparalleled ferocity.

But that’s not all!
The Dark Pact is a ritualistic practice commonly employed by mortal followers of the Dark Gods, particularly Chaos Space Marine warbands who pledge their loyalty to a specific deity.
This pact allows these mortal practitioners to summon daemonic entities to join their Chaos armies, even if these daemons do not possess the same Faction keyword as the chosen army.
However, it's important to note that the summoned daemons will not bring the potent abilities granted by the "Shadow of Chaos" rule, as their Army Faction remains separate from the CHAOS DAEMONS faction.
Under the Daemonic Pact rule, players who have included the Chaos keyword for every model in their army can include LEGIONES DAEMONICA units, regardless of their chosen Faction keyword during army selection.
The number of points allocated for such units depends on the size of the battle being fought, with different limits established for Incursion, Strike Force, and Onslaught battle sizes.
However, it is essential to keep in mind that these summoned daemons cannot be designated as the Warlord of the army, and they are not eligible to receive Enhancements.
By forging a Dark Pact and harnessing the powers of the daemonic realm, mortal followers of Chaos gain access to formidable allies in their quest for domination and corruption.
The strategic inclusion of LEGIONES DAEMONICA units allows for increased versatility and potential synergies within the Chaos army, granting players the opportunity to tailor their forces to the specific powers and preferences of the Dark Gods they serve.
