By these gifts are the Daemon Princes known, each individual from his dark brothers, a mighty warrior, a potent spellcaster, lord of the armies of the Chaos Wastes and heralds of the world's destruction.

Daemonic GiftsURL Copied!
Daemon Princes and Exalted Daemon may be given Daemonic Gift. Each may only be chosen once per army. The Gifts that Greater Daemon get as standard do not count for this rule. A Daemon Prince or Exalted Daemon cannot take god-specific Gifts (ie, those which are for Khorne Daemon only) unle it has been given the Mark of Chaos for that god. Note that Gifts are not magic items per se and are therefore not affected by spells or any other attack that damages or neutralizes magic item (the Law of Gold spell, for example).
The air around the Daemon seethes with chaotic energy, deflecting arrows and bolts.
Any shooting at the Daemon or the unit it is with suffers an additional -1 to hit penalty.
The Daemon wields a hell-forged weapon that exists partly in another dimension, by passing armour.
The Daemons close combat attacks ignore armour saves.
Raw Chaos Power emanates from the Daemon, strengthening its presence in the material realm.
The Daemon and any other Daemon units within 6" suffer one less wound when defeated in combat. For example if a Daemon fails its instability test by 2, then it would only loses one wound.

The Daemon's grip on the mortal realm is strong, protecting it against normal vulnerabilities.

If the Daemon is the army General, Mortal units count as Core choices and Daemonic count as Special.
