Daemonic Incursion

The 666th chapter only step on the battlefield when a daemonic threat is effective. These rule changes are designed to make your The Terminus Decree games more narrative, presenting the CHAOS DAEMONS - the threat Grey Knights were designed to oppose. However you can stick to normal Acolyte rules.

INCURSION LEVEL

Select Mark Of Chaos, daemons of which can incurse the killzone in scenarios. If you select CHAOS UNDIVIDED, that means you can use any daemons. In the Campaign, whenever it is required to set up CHAOS DAEMONS operatives in the killzone, set up operatives with the selected mark.

Write up and track the Incursion Level throughout your campaign, initial Incursion Level is 1. When the Incursion Level reaches 0, the Incursion is over. When the Incursion Level reaches 20, the planet is done - this may impact the Campaign, and even make it failed.
