After reading over these bad boys let me show you something that you may or may have not thought about.

You hit a unit with the markerlights and get them below half.  You then use the rest of the tokens to give that unit a -1 leadership per token.  This will get give you a better chance of making them run and never regrouping.

Tactic vs deamon packs.  You kill 25% of them and stop shooting.  You then take the rest and put it on their leadership.  I believe you can kill more this way then by just shooting them down.  ie Leadership 8 can go down to 3 and he had better roll low.

If you pop the vessel that holds the Greater Deamon can you do the -1 leadership test for his Instability test at the end of the Chaos Players turn or is the -1 leadership only during the shooting phase?


I know the rules. Do you?

The -1 is only used for pinning checks from a specific unit (see pathfinders, drones, and Fire Warriors with all carbines).

Yea but take into account to get that -4 ld modifier you are taking 8 pathfinders and their fish for just under 200pts!

You want to have a decent chance to pin a squad you want to be spending 300+ pts shooting at them?

Something tells me 6 crisis suits or 10 stealths for that cost will do a better job against 90% of the targets out there.

Yeah, the negative to LD is for pinning tests only. May not work so well against most MEQ armies, but most other non-MEQ lists you could be forcing pinning checks on a 6 or a 7 easily enough with just one marker.

If you pop the vessel that holds the Greater Deamon can you do the -1 leadership test for his Instability test at the end of the Chaos Players turn or is the -1 leadership only during the shooting phase?


The GD test for instability at the end of Chaos players turn. So it wouldn't have helped you here even if it worked that way.
