Daemonic Invulnerablity
 Instead of a normal Save characteristic, each LEGIONES DAEMONICA datasheet has a Daemonic Save characteristic. This characteristic has 2 values. The first characteristic is used when a melee attack is allocated to that model, while the second characteristic is used when a ranged attack is allocated to that model. In either case, the saving throw cannot be modified in any way.
Manifestation
During deployment, you can set up this model in the warp instead of setting it up on the battlefield. If you do so, then in the Reinforcements step of one of your Movement phases you can set this unit up anywhere on the battlefield that is more than 9" away from any enemy models, or more than 6" away from any enemy models and wholly within 6" of a friendly WARP LOCUS model that was on the battlefield at the start of the turn. If the WARP LOCUS has an Allegiance keyword, the unit being set up can only use this ability if it has the same Allegiance keyword.

If every unit from your army has the LEGIONES DAEMONICA keyword, then in the Reinforcements step of one of your Movement phases, you can instead set this unit up anywhere on the battlefield with one of the following restrictions:
- Wholly within your deployment zone and more than 3" away from any enemy models.
- Neither wholly within your deployment zone nor within your opponent's deployment zone, and more than a number of inches away from away from each enemy unit, equal to the current Leadership characteristic of that enemy unit (to a minimum of 3" and a maximum of 9").
Daemonic Terror (Aura)
While an enemy unit is within 6" of this unit, subtract 1 from that enemy unit's Leadership characteristic and subtract 1 from any Combat Attrition tests taken for that enemy unit.
Warp Storm
This ability can be used to apply Warp Storm effects to eligible units from your army.

Abilities
P'tarix's Sorcerous Syphon (Aura)

While an enemy PSYKER unit is within 12" of this model:

  • Subtract 1 from Psychic tests taken for that unit.
  • Each time a Psychic test is failed for that unit, that psychic power is syphoned, and until the end of the battle, that unit cannot attempt to manifest that psychic power. Psychic actions are unaffected.
Xirat'p's Sorcerous Barrage

At the start of your Psychic phase, you can resolve each of the following effects once, in any order:

  • Roll two D6 and select one result: This model can automatically manifest the psychic power from the Pandaemoniac discipline that corresponds with that number.
  • If this model successfully syphoned any psychic powers in the the previous enemy Psychic phase, it can automatically manifest the Smite psychic power. These powers are considered to have been manifested with a roll equal to their warp charge value (do not make a Psychic test) and they cannot be denied.
