The Daemon Battle Standard Bearer is a large, impressive or ugly Daemon charged with the singular honour of carrying his master's standard to battle.
The Daemon General's retinue may include a Daemon Battle Standard Bearer. It must always lead a unit of the same kind of Daemons: Bloodletters, Plaguebearers, Pink Horrors, or Daemonettes. The Battle Standard Bearer replaces the unit's normal leader, so a unit of Bloodletters could include a Bloodletter Battle Standard Bearer or a Bloodletter Champion, but not both.
Weapons/Armour: A Bloodletter Champion is armed with a Hellblade, and a Plaguebearer Champion is armed with a Plague Sword.
Save: None (Pink Horror), 4+ (Bloodletterk Plaguebearer or Daemonette).
Steed: Daemon Battle Standard Bearers must ride the steed of their Choas god if their unit does so:
Juggernaut (for Bloodletter)..... +70 points
Beast of Nurgle (for Plaguebearer)..... +75 points
Steed of Slaanesh (for Deamonette)..... +15 points

| Spawn | 2D6 | 3 | 0 | 4 | 5 | 3 | 3 | D6 | 10 |
Chaos Spawn can be included in the retinue of any Daemon Warlord. They do not have to be organised into a unit of five or more models, but can be organised into a smaller unit, ie a single Spawn model forms a unit on its own. If your army includes up to five Chaos Spawn these form a single unit. Six to ten Spawn can be formed into either one or two units of as near equal size as possible, eleven to fifteen Spawn can be formed into one, two or three untis as so on.
Weapons/Armour: None.
Save: None.
Options: None.
Attacks: A Chaos Spawn has D6 attacks from its tentacles, arms, claws or whatever, determined randomly for each of them separately during each hand-to-hand combat round. These attacks always hit automatically.
Fear: Chaos Spawn cause fear.
Movement: Chaos Spawn have a movement of 2D6. Roll in the compulsory movement phase to see how far the Spawn travels. Make only a single roll for any units of Spawn. The Chaos Spawn will always move directly towards an enemy model, though this does not necessarily need to be the closest one. Spawn will move around impassible terrain in order to reach the enemy. If their movement brings them in contact with any unit, friend or foe, they stop and fight in hand-to-hand combat with their opponents. No formal declaration of the charge is necessary. The target may make the usual response just as if it had been charged in the normal manner. The Spawn will hit first in hand-to-hand combat during the round just as if it had charged. The Spawn will not move away until the fight is resolved. The Spawn always pursues fleeing opponents. Roll 2D6 to determine pursuit move.
Psychology: Chaos Spawn are immune to psychology and cannot be broken in hand-to-hand combat. In addition, they will automatically pass any Leadership-based test they are forced to take.

Save: 4+ (daemonic save).
Options: One unit out of the entire army may be mounted on Beasts of Nurgle (+75 points per model). These deamonic calvary are known as Plagueriders. Plagueriders do not have to be organised into a unit of five or more models, they can be organised into a smaller unit, ie a single Plaguerider forms a unit on its own.
Standard Bearer and Musician: Any unit may include a standard bearer and/or musican for 60 points each for Plaguebears or 135 points for Plagueriders. Any units may carry a magic standard. Plaguebearers and Plagueriders may carry a magic standard of Nurgle if you wish.
If the unit includes a musician it carries a Gong of Despair.
Gong of Despair: Any enemy in hand-to-hand combat with a unit of Plaguebearers carrying a Gong of Despair must re-roll any successful Break test. The second roll always stands. Note that this has no effect on Daemons or Undead.
Leader: A Champion may lead any regiment of Plaguebearers for 70 points or Plagueriders for 145 points. Note that Daemonic champions may not carry magic items.
Special Rules: Plaguebearers and Plagueriders cause fear, and are armed with Plagueswords.
Plaguesword: If a mortal creature has more than 1 wound, then a wound from one of these weapons will kill it on a 4+, regardless of how many wounds the target can normally sustain. Note that this only applies to mortal creatures, for example not Daemons or Undead.
Cloud of Flies: Plaguebearers are surrounded by a black cloud of flies, causing any enemy fighting a Plaguebearer suffers -1 to all dice rolls to hit.
Magic: A unit of Plaguebearers or Plagueriders has a magic level and can cast spells like a wizard. The size of the unit defines its magic level and the number of spells it may cast: 1-5 models = magic level 1/one spell; 6-10 models = magic level 2/two spells; 11-15 models = magic level 3/three spells; 16+ models = magic level 4/four spells. Spells must be drawn from the Nurgle spell deck.
All the special rules for Daemons apply.
Beasts of Nurgle..... 75 points

3 | 3 | D6 | 6 |
Beasts do not have to organised into units of five or more models, they can be organised into smaller units. If your army includes up to five Beasts these form a single unit. Six to ten Beasts can be formed into either one or two units of as near equal size as possible, eleven to fifteen Beasts can be formed into one, two or three units and so on.
Weapons/Armour: None.
Save: 4+ (daemonic save).
Options: None.
Slime Trail: An enemy attacking from the side or rear of a Beast will automatically sustain an additinal S3 hit resolved before any other combat is worked out. No armour save is permitted.
Special Rules: Beasts cause fear. Beasts have D6 attacks which penetrate armour automatically. No armour save is permitted.
Movement: Beasts have an additional move in the compulsory movement phase due to their surprising speed. Beasts are moved D6+2" straight forward. Make only a single roll for any unit of Beasts. If this random move brings a Beast into base-to-base contact with any enemy models, then it is considered to have charged. The target may make the usual response just as if it had been charged in the normal manner. Beasts can also move and march normally and declare charges if you wish. Note that the random move is in addition to the Beast's normal movement.
Riding Beast: A Beast is not treated as a cavalry model. When shooting at a Beast and its rider, roll to hit as normal, but randomise any hits between the rider and the mount. Work out any hits as normal, and resolve damamge against either the rider or the Beast. If the rider is slain, the Beast continues to fight as normal. If the Beast is slain, the rider is slain as well unless he is a character model other than the unit's regimental leader. In this case the character can continue to fight on foot. In the case of attacks using a template, treat the Beast and the rider as separate targets, so both will be hit if both lie within the templage area. In the hand-to-hand phase both the beast and its rider fight separately. In effect, this works the same way as combat against monsters and their riders. An enemy may choose to aim its attacks against either the rider or the Beast.
All the special rules for Daemons apply.

If the unit of Pink Horrors includes a musician it carries the Drum of Change.
Drum of Change: thanks to the magcial resonance of the drum the unit can store a single extra magic card from turn to turn. As units of Horrors also count as wizards, you may store up to two magic cards for each Horror unit with a musician in your army.
Split: When a Pink Horror sustains a wound it is not slain but automatically divides into two Blue Horros. Remove the model and replace it with two Blue Horror models. Place the Blue Horror models at the back of the unit (even if the Blue Horrors were created by the destruction of a Pink Horror Champion in a Challenge.) These continue to fight on in place of the original Pink Horror until they receive a wound and are removed. Note that, unlike most other Daemons, neither variety of Horror recieves a daemonic saving throw.
Special Rules: Horrors cause fear.
Magic: A unit of Horros has a magic level and can cast spells like a wizard. The number of Pink Horros in the unit defines its magic level and the number of spells it has: 1-5 models = magic level 1/one spell; 6-10 models = magic level 2/two spells; 11-15 models = level 3/three spells; 16+ models = magic level 4/four spells.
