The Chaos Daemons army list is split into following sections: Dedicated Transport, Elites, Fast Attack, Heavy Support, HQ and Troops. All of the squads, vehicles and characters in the army are placed into one of these categories depending upon their role on the battlefield. Each model is also given a points value, which varies depending on how effective that model is in battle. Before you choose an army, you will need to agree with your opponent upon the type of game you are going to play and the maximum total number of points each of you will spend. Then you can proceed to pick your army following the guidelines given in the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook.
Wargear List
These lists detail the points values of various items of wargear available to units in your army. Many unit entries in the army list that follows may include wargear options from one or more of these lists - in each instance, the army list entry will tell you (in bold) exactly which of these lists you may use.
Hellforged Artefacts of Khorne
Daemons of Khorne that have the option to take Daemonic Rewards can also take a Hellforged Artefact of Khorne, paying the points shown below. These don’t count towards the points spent on Daemonic Rewards, but a model can’t have more than one Hellforged Artefact (of any type). Only one of each of these items may be chosen per army.
1 Daemon Prince of Khorne or Herald of Khorne only. This item replaces the bearer’s melee weapon.
2 Bloodthirster of any type or Daemon Prince of Khorne only. This item replaces the bearer’s melee weapon.
3 Bloodthirster of any type or Daemon Prince of Khorne only.
4 Bloodthirster of any type, Daemon Prince of Khorne or Herald of Khorne only.
Hellforged Artefacts of Nurgle
Daemons of Nurgle that have the option to take Daemonic Rewards can also take a Hellforged Artefact of Nurgle, paying the points shown below. These don’t count towards the points spent on Daemonic Rewards, but a model can’t have more than one Hellforged Artefact (of any type). Only one of each of these items may be chosen per army.
1 Herald of Nurgle only.
2 Great Unclean One only.
3 Great Unclean One, Daemon Prince of Nurgle or Herald of Nurgle only.
4 Daemon Prince of Nurgle or Herald of Nurgle only.
Hellforged Artefacts of Slaanesh

These don’t count towards the points spent on Daemonic Rewards, but a model can’t have more than one Hellforged Artefact (of any type). Only one of each of these items may be chosen per army.
1 Keeper of Secrets or Herald of Slaanesh only.
2 Herald of Slaanesh only.

Lord of Plague: If your detachment includes a Great Unclean One, Daemon Princes from this codex with the Daemon of Nurgle upgrade are Heavy Support rather than HQ choices in that detachment.
Unit Composition: 1 Great Unclean One

Each detachment in your army may include up to four Heralds of Chaos, chosen in any combination from the following models: This selection uses a single HQ slot from the force organisation chart, but the Heralds are otherwise treated as separate units. Designer’s note: Remember that your Heralds of Chaos can form a unit on the tabletop (if you wish) as long as they all share the same daemonic alignment.
