Demonologist 1 60 30 +20
Demonologists are wizards and summoners who deal in the most forbidden of Black Arts, the sumonning of Deamons. Some start with good intentions, others are evil from the womb, but all seek to bring maelific creatures from the Realms of Chaos into this world. Aspiring Champions of Chaos often find such men useful to their cause and enlist their services, seeking to bring their evil masters more souls.

Special Ability: Bound Daemon. The Demonlogist has summoned and bound a Lesser Daemon at some time in the past. Though this has taken a toll on his health (represented by starting T of 2), it gives him great temporal power. This Lesser Daemon may be called forth by the Demonologist in the Shooting phase as if he were casting a Spell with a Difficulty of 6, appearing up to 6" away from the Demonologist, but not into HtH. Thereafter, the Demonologist must make a Leadership roll in each of his own recovery phases at -1 or loose control of the Demon. If the Demonologist is Stunned he automatically fails; if Knocked Down he suffers an additional -1 Ld. If the Demonologist looses control of the Daemon roll on the following chart:
  • 1) The Daemon charges the Demonologist if possible and tries to kill him, otherwise it moves as close to the Demonologist as possible so as to charge in the following turn (if control is not reasserted).
  • 2-3) The Daemon charges the nearest model of the Demonologist's hiring warband.
  • 4) The Daemon immediately returns from whence it came and may not be summoned again for the duration of the game.
  • 5-6) The Daemon does nothing this turn. If in HtH, it does not return strikes on his enemies (but still defends itself).
If the Daemon is still present and the Demonologist is still in action, then another Leadership roll is made in the following turn's recovery phase, with success returning the Daemon to the players control. The Daemon is removed from play immediately if the Demonologist goes OoA; it simply dissapears back to whence it came.
Special Limitation: Daemonic Instability. The Daemon does not belong on this plane. Each Recovery Phase, roll a single die. On a 1-5 the Daemon maintains stability and no further action is necessary, but on the roll of a 6 the Daemon becomes unstable; roll again for the following result:
  • 1-2) The Daemon is finished and disapates into nothingness, it may not be summoned again in this game.
  • 3-4) The Daemon is unstable; it may do nothing until the next Recovery Phase; if in HtH it is auto hit.
  • 5-6) The Daemon is invigorated and gains +1 A until the next Recovery Phase.
Special Limitation: Deific Bias . The Bound Daemon available to the Demonologist is determined by the Mark of the Aspiring Champion hiring the Demonologist. This isnt a function of preference, merely that an Aspiring Champion would only hire a Demonologist with an appropriate Daemon. Profiles are provided for each of the available Daemon types at the end of this document. Use the following chart:
Aspiring Champion Mark Daemon
Nurgle Beast of Nurgle
Slaneesh Fiend
Tzeentch Flamer
Khorne Flesh Hound
Special Ability: Demonology. The Demonologist starts with 2 of the following Spells (roll randomly). Should they gain a Skill raise, they may choose to randomly generate a new Spell from the following list instead.
1. Dispel Daemon: The Demonologist may dispel a Daemon. Daemons are ejected from this plane automatically if the Spell is successfully cast. This includes Possessed and Mutants with the mutation Daemon Soul; both of which are destroyed by this Spell. Difficulty 11.
2. Summon Daemonic Power: The Demonologist must make a T check or take a wound. If not put OoA, the Demonologist may roll and add a 3rd die for all Spell Difficulty rolls and may make Leadership checks at +2 for the duration of the game. This Spell can be cast more than once, and the effects stack. Difficulty 9
3. Zone of Daemonic Protection: The Demonologist may erect a 2" radius zone thru which no Daemon may pass or attack into. Affected models halt 2" from the caster, and count as failing their charge is such were their intent. This includes Possessed and Mutants with Daemon Souls. This Spell lasts until the caster moves or casts another Spell. Difficulty 8
4. Stop Daemonic Instability: The caster may prevent his Daemon from taking Instability checks. This Spell lasts until the Daemonoligist casts another Spell. While this Spell is active, the Bound Daemon does not make Instability checks as long as it is within 24" of the caster. Difficulty: 6
5. Superior Binding: The caster focuses his will to holding the Bound Daemon in check. While this Spell is active, the Demonologist does not have to make Ld checks to maintain control of their Bound Daemon. Lasts until the Demonoligist casts another Spell. Difficulty 7
6. Shared Insanity: The caster projects images of the deeds he has commited and the beings he has witnessed in his career as a Demonologist into the mind of any enemy model within LOS no further than 12" away. That target must make an immediate Leadership check at -2 or instantly break. Not vs. models Immune to Psychology. Difficulty: 9

Special Ability: Superior Collar of Khorne. Immune to all magic targeted directly at them or with an area of effect that would envelop them. Additionally, Magical weapons cannot hurt the Flesh Hound; it must be destroyed with mundane weaponry. Willpower-based effects still take place as they are a part of the rituals of Daemonic Binding. Therefore the Demonologists Spells still affect the Flesh Hound except Dispel as the remainder are all indirect.
