- 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…)
~I’m started to get might excited about all of this. I’m really excited about getting an entirely new army to use all my Nurgle daemons for with only a handful of cool new HQs to pick up.
