Recruitment[ | ]

Description[ | ]

In order to walk Khorne’s path of glory and become one of His irrepressible Daemon Princes, one has to have a long and unrivalled history of murder, and lived a life dedicated to war without compunction or pause. Mortals found worthy by the Blood God undergo this transformation, becoming a hulking creature bulging with slabs of iron-hard muscle. A tail, horns, and a claw are added to the gifts of Chaos and mutations they earned in life, which are scaled up to their new stature. They become savage, bellowing creatures, with a bloodlust that extends far beyond what they once felt as mere mortals.

  • Wh3 dae daemon prince Daemon Prince
  • Daemon Prince: A Daemon Prince is gifted with ruinous powers by the Chaos Gods to twist and shape him into the true form of Chaos.
  • Armour-Piercing: The damage of Modifier icon armour piercingarmour-piercing weapons mostly ignores the armour of the target, making them the ideal choice against heavily-armoured enemies. They are often heavier and attack at a slower rate though, making them less efficient against poorly-armoured targets.
  • Anti-Infantry: Anti-infantry units have an advantage against targets that are smaller than a horse. This advantage can be a damage bonus against small targets, superior weight used to smash through lighter enemies, or an explosive attack from range that effects a large area.
  • Frenzy: Units with Wh main unit passive frenzyfrenzy cause more damage while their Icon stat moraleleadership is high.

Warriors of Chaos[ | ]

The Daemon Prince of Khorne is a pretty substantial upgrade from a Chaos Lord of Khorne in both combat prowess and mobility. It is a bigger target, so just be careful of enemy missile units. It also loses out on the physical resistance buff for Chaos Warriors, Chaos Knights, and Chosen.

Khorne[ | ]

Khorne players will find that a Daemon Prince is pretty similar to an Exalted Bloodthirster at first glance. The Bloodthirster has better combat stats except for melee defense and bonus vs infantry. This along with their different abilities suggest that the Prince can sit in combat while the Bloodthirster prefers to hit and run. In their blue skill lines, the Prince gets casualty replenishment later but combines it with attrition reduction and gets extra post battle-loot instead of reduced upkeep. The different red skill lines are harder to compare. The Prince separates their skills by mortal or daemon, making an argument for them to have all mortal or all daemonic armies.
