Fellow Daemon specialist Byron Sidhu joins me today as we rank our units in part 2 of this Chaos Daemon tier list!

Timestamps would be very helpful! Great video series, your insight is very valuable.

Kairos is A tier imo, the 12 inch making all commands more expensive is killer, you can buff him very hard with commands the first two turns, without loosing points, and then can focus on the rest later on.

[@TrueDaemonLord]

@@renaukint8264 fair enough, something I very much believe in is that we all can find value in units for our own lists that others may not see!

[@renaukint8264]

@@TrueDaemonLord Absolutely, there is also the style of play, or using units in a specific way.

How would the rumours about the Codex disappearing work with Be’lakor? If the Khorne Daemons are rolled into Worldeaters and Nurgle are rolled into Death Guard etc, where will Be’lakor go? The obvious place would be CSM, but that has already been released. That is the only reason I can’t see mono gods Daemons being rolled into the God Factions. What are your thoughts?

[@TrueDaemonLord]

@@buzz0783 it's all speculation as of right now and none of know the truth of it. Fingers crossed it's nothing!

I've tried to enjoy playing daemons in 10th, but the monster mash meta really isn't how I want to play them. I've always enjoyed daemons as a horde army with lots of lesser daemons and maybe one or two greater daemon center pieces. Unfortunately horde lists get me losing very quickly. Is that type of gameplay just not viable right now? What are your thoughts on that, any essential units you can think of?

[@TrueDaemonLord]

@@DarthAyreon I also like more smaller stuff and I feel you can definitely play a list with more smaller stuff though the monsters are pretty good for damage and synergies. I'm currently running a fair few Fiends and Plaguebearers with 3 monsters if that helps with an idea of a list not to focused on the bug guys.

[@lnelliott]

Soul grinders can get shadows off the greater daemons as the wording is slightly different to belakors aura. You just have to be within 6, not wholly within

[@TrueDaemonLord]

@@lnelliott unfortunately that is not how it works. Like Be'lakor the Greater Daemon shadow aura is within 6". Warp Rifts which is what allows you to drop 6" away specifically says the unit mist be placed wholly within the shadows.

[@jackquan9045]

WTC ruled no base for the Soul Grinder in latest updates.

[@TrueDaemonLord]

@@jackquan9045 yea we know. Unfortunately UKTC still rule you need a base and alot of events in the UK generally rule you need a base.

[@dancardrealestate6438]

I don't think we'll see the Soul Grinder disappear. In North America it's top of A/bottom of S tier. At 180 points they're an absolute unit.

[@TrueDaemonLord]

@@dancardrealestate6438 I really like it on paper, unfortunately it is marred for us here in the UK and that it why we ranked it the way we did. But 100% without the base with less dense and close together terrain, it's amazing!

[@buzz0783]

I think it will stay if Be’lakor stays - it looks more 40K than anything else, and it exists in TOW and AOS.
