True Daemon Lord

So with Arks of Omen on the horizon and the point changes and dataslates out in the wild, I wanted to talk about the Disciples of Be'lakor and how all the changes affect the followers of   the first Prince! Disciples have been a very strange mini faction, since it's Daemons with the options to add a Chaos knight Korvax and CSM legion specific to Be'lakor letting you soup while still being a "single faction". Though today we won't talking about the CSM options as personally I don't see them as making a Disciples list very optimal for competitive play with the options you already have available through Daemons and Knights. Today I want to talk about why Disciples could be the best way to run Daemons going into the Arks of Omen meta! Arks of Omen detachment  So the new detachment kind of screws us over since we can no longer get god specific warpstorm abilities unless you play pure mono god, and of course Disciples is Undivided. Though the new detachment work...

So, the moment we have all been waiting for is here! I scrambled to get this written up as soon as the dataslate and points update dropped just so I could share the amazing changes we have gotten as a faction!!! Point changes Indomitable Onslaught +10pts So, the 8 wound phase cap has been bumped to 50pts making the thirster 360pts. Not a huge change and you will still see him in competitive lists. Karanak -10pts Karank drops 10pts to 90 which is cool. It may not seem all that great until you realise Flesh Hounds have now become almost mandatory for Daemons, and Karanak makes your flesh hounds slightly better with the standard re-roll 1's to wound but also flat re-rolls to wound vs psykers. Plus, who don't love a great big 3 headed angry dog! Bloodcrushers -5pts Going down to 40pts, means a unit of 3 is now 10pts cheaper than a unit of 10 letters. Though I still think letters are better overall, a unit of 3 is definitely worth considering due to better toughness, 4+ combat save ...
