After the Las Vegas Open, and my horrible showing with a Thunderwolf Cavalry army, I’ve decided to revert to my 40K roots and dedicate the rest of 2015 to playing Chaos Daemons competitively again. I made a solid 4-2 showing at the 2014 BAO with Chaos Daemons, taking 32nd place out of 114. Somewhat self-limited by my habit of playing mono-Tzeentch, a habit of mine since I picked up the army in 2011. At the LVO I had the opportunity to watch Nick Nanavati in his 7th round draw loss to Sean Nayden. His ability to make the most of an otherwise fickle codex inspired me to double down on Chaos again for the 2015 ITC. Drawing from that inspiration, as well as friends asking me how to build a viable Chaos Daemon list, I’m writing this series of articles. This first entry in the series will be an overview of how the codex works and the units that I think are worth a second look.
