The new demons of chaos aren’t just relegated to their own army. Other factions can dip their toe in the Chaos-side (warning, dipping your toe into Chaos pretty much guaranteed to corrupt you entirely, but that’s up to you) by bringing some allied Chaos Daemons with them. Check out how in this preview for the 40k Codex: Chaos Daemons available for pre-sale now.
From the article:
The forces of Chaos can destabilise the very fabric of reality, pouring daemons forth as Heretic Astartes and Chaos Knights attack. Thus their foes frequently fight against a unified front of mortal and immortal warriors, manifested on the tabletop with the Daemonic Pact rules from Codex: Chaos Daemons.
So long as your CHAOS army includes just one* LEGIONES DAEMONICA Detachment, which accounts for no more than 25% of your total Power Level, every model within it gets the AGENTS OF CHAOS keyword. This allows you to ignore many Detachment Ability restrictions** when checking to see if everyone’s on the same team, just like Chaos Knight Dreadblades.
The ability to appear as if from nowhere makes daemons excellent shock troops, charging from tears in reality to seize objectives. This makes them excellent allies in Chaos Knights armies, where manpower is at a premium and Troops with the Objective Secured rule are valuable.
