Via BolS und dort via B&C Salz nach Geschmack:
Common Changes
-Greater daemons are limited to 1 per detachment. But GD’s received better stats and more wounds. “similar to a knight'”. Beefier.
-Many unit sizes are limited to 10 for troops (daemonettes are 20), 6 for elite. Essentially moving to being more “elite” and less hoard type.
-Most auras are now command abilities
-Most units deepstrike for free without using CP.
-New “daemon save”. invulns will be gone, and replaced with a new type of save that cannot be modified by AP. And thus not ignored by any abilities that ignore invuln. The save will change depending on if the attack is from ranged or melee and each god has different variations of this. E.g. Tzeentch units like a LoC will have a 3+ vs. ranged and 5+ vs. melee.
-Furies are gone
-Summoning is gone or changed. No more setting aside points. “more like a homing beacon affect”.
-New faction ability that is similar to warp tides from 7th ed. New pts system to use abilities. Uncertain if this will allow “free” units. Stronger if you are a mono god army. Weaker if you mix and match unless your army has Belekor.
-Sounds like toward the end of the year release.
Tzeentch
-Horrors split for free on a 5+ now.
-Treason of Tzeentch now turns off auras instead of controlling a model
-Infernal gateway better, now when you roll the 12+ it does flat 3 MW instead of d6. And the biggest change is that instead of measuring from one model to see if nearby units are hit, it measures from every model in the original target unit.
-Kairos gets a + to cast, the bonus being the battle round number.
-LOC keep +2 to cast.
Khorne
-Bloodletters are 2 attacks, S5 -3AP D2. Can get buffs that do auto wounding 6’s, re-rolls, and bonus attacks.
-New unit name found, the Rendmaster. Possibly just a rename for the bloodthrone. 9 wound character model.
-Bloodthirster has 8 attacks at AP-4 3+D3 damage. or sweep 16 attacks D1 AP-3.
-All khorne units got +1 toughness, 4+ new daemon save against shooting,
-Bloodcrushers have 5 wounds.
Nurgle
-Plaguebeareres T5 and 2W.
-Disgustingly resiliant in line with DG. -1 damage.
-Nurglings now FA or Elite(source is not certain) No longer troops and obsec
-plagueswords have AP now, and overall a lot easier at wounding things for all nurgle
-Beasts of Nurgle stats got way tankier. capped at 3 instead of 9.
-At least 1 wound has been added to everything
Slaanesh
-Lots of ways to gain abilites to fight on death, fight last, or fights first
-Chariots are T6 and are more deadly. and fast enough to deal with movement restrictions i.e. ruins.
-Daemonettes improved in offense. Full re-rolls and auto wounding 6’s with the right buffs
-Epitome no longer has the “no fall back” ability, and more focused on spellcasting
-Masque is better at putting out buffs and debuffs
