 Re: Anatomy of a Daemon Prince
Its has been categorically stated by GW that Abbadon is not a relation of Horus, other than having his geneseed like all original Luna Wolves/Sons of Horus.
An Eldar DP would be unheard of I suspect, as Eldar protect themselves from the warp using soul stones and the Dark Eldar have already given their souls and use slaughter as a way to continue their material existence - although its all a bit vague regarding DE at the moment, the new codex should sort everything.
Abbadon doesn't want daemonhood, he wants humanity removed from the control of the Emperor.
Daemon princes are any shape and size, buto most will be far larger than a normal man or space marine as daemonic gifts tend to include size increases and mutations. It should be taken that Daemon princes that were once human/CSM have the general bulk of the current 40K DP model.
The rules in the previous CSM codex over-complicated and confused things with regards to any CSM Lord with over a certain number of daemonic gifts automatically counting as a daemon prince. Thats why that side of things was completely removed and redone in a much better way IMO. |
