Justin: It’s time to see what the minions of the Ruinous Powers have to look forward to in the new edition.

The battlefield itself is changing in ways that are particularly helpful to Daemon players – as most have heard by now, we’ll frequently be playing on slightly smaller tables, and that’s certainly great news for Slaanesh and Khorne players, who’ll have less distance to cover before they can start slaying. 

There’s a lot of good news for the Beasts keyword as well – and no codex is better prepared to take advantage of those changes, with each of the Ruinous Powers having their own favoured Beast. Screamers, Flesh Hounds, Fiends, and Beasts (of Nurgle!) will all be able to interact with terrain in ways that were previously restricted to the Infantry keyword – meaning it’ll be much easier for them to out-seek their enemies on the new edition’s battlefields. Combined with their new Stratagems from Engine War, it’ll be worth giving each of these units another look.
