You could develop a list that automatically maxes While We Stand We Fight built around Mamon Transfigured, Horticulus Slimux, one other Character, and lots of Nurglings and Beasts of Nurgle. In addition, his reroll aura now benefits all Nurgle Daemons instead of just units with keyword, so he has actual synergy with the rest of the army. The main thing Mamon Transfigured received was a massive points drop, going down to 130 points. His ranged weapon got significantly better, while his melee profile became more consistent. Much like Uraka was for Khorne, Mamon is a strictly better version of a Nurgle Daemon Prince without wings. There is a lot to like on this datasheet. Give Uraka a look if you’re committed to running pure Khorne Daemons, otherwise steer clear. So then the question becomes, who is running Khorne Daemon Princes on foot and needs an upgraded version of that?Ībsolutely no one. If you’re running a Khorne Daemon Prince on foot, Uraka should replace him now as Uraka is basically strictly better and costs fewer points. You also receive the practical benefit of no longer having to do the bookkeeping required to check which benefits you received at 5 different tiers of models killed. For 145 points? 6 S9 AP3 3D attacks on a model that’s also giving a reroll 1’s aura is really not bad. Uraka also received +1 Wound and +1 Attack and a longer range and simplified ranged attack.īut then I flipped to the points, and I had to give Uraka another look. Uraka lost the Unstoppable Ferocity rule that all other Khorne Daemons get (+1 Attack and +1 Strength), instead getting a simplified version of its gimmicky rule that requires you to kill 8 models to get the same benefits and +1″ Movement. I took one look at the datasheet, and immediately didn’t like the rules. This was a good update for Daemons overall but there were definitely some missed opportunities. However, if you were a competitive player and was hoping that the FW rules update would elevate any of these units into serious options, I think you’ll be disappointed (with a few exceptions, which I’ll discuss below). None of these units are awful, and you can bring any one of them to a casual game night and be satisfied with what you’re getting. In the big picture, if you’re a casual player that just had some of these models and wanted to run them, you should be happy. While Daemons were never a faction that relied heavily on FW units for either competitive or casual play, they had some special Characters and Lords of War that desperately needed new points costs and datasheets.

It’s finally here! Five months into 9th Edition, Forgeworld delivered on their promise of updated datasheets for 9th Edition.
