An Abundance of Apocryphal
Adversaries: Daemonic Legions

Unofficial Rules for Chaos Daemon threats in Warhammer 40,000: Wrath & Glory
Written and Compiled by Nathan Dowdell
Due to matters of timing and the main Abundance of Apocrypha document growing so large and unwieldy, I’ve
chosen to break the bestiary sections off into their own smaller, more manageable supplements.
This bestiary deals with the Daemons of Chaos, immortal and terrifying beings that lurk in the Warp and plot the
downfall of the entire universe.

Khornate Adversaries
Khorne Daemon Adversaries are deadly, ruinous beings, seeking only to inflict death and destruction upon the material
universe. Naturally, this means that Player Characters will be required to foil their plots, and the beings behind these
plots are likely to take numerous forms as murderous and brutal as their god. This section provides several powerful
relics and a few additional abilities which can be applied to Khorne Daemon Adversaries to make them more distinct
and memorable in your campaign.

Slaanesh Adversaries
Slaanesh Daemon Adversaries are beings of temptation and excess, who exist only to corrupt and defile all they
encounter. Naturally, this means that Player Characters will be required to foil their plots, and the beings behind these
plots are likely to take numerous forms as disturbingly alluring as their god. This section provides several powerful
relics and a few additional abilities which can be applied to Slaanesh Daemon Adversaries to make them more distinct
and memorable in your campaign.

Tzeentch Adversaries
Tzeentch Daemon Adversaries are beings of trickery and witchcraft, who exist only to distort and unravel all they
encounter. Naturally, this means that Player Characters will be required to foil their infinite schemes, and the beings
behind these plots are likely to take numerous forms as twisted and incomprehensible as their god. This section
provides several powerful relics and a few additional abilities which can be applied to Tzeentch Daemon Adversaries
to make them more distinct and memorable in your campaign.
