MARK OF CHAOS (Icons)
-These now take the form of Icons that most units can take. The cost of an Icon is fixed for each unit, regadless of unit size. This means larger units essentially pay less points per model for the same Icon.
-All units except vehicles, Obliterators and Cult units can purchase one of the following Icons (listed from least to most expensive):
-Icon of Chaos Glory: The new name for Mark of Chaos Undivided. Grants morale re-rolls. Not available to ICs as they are all Fearless anyway.
-Icon of Slaanesh: +1 initiative (least expensive)
-Icon of Khorne: +1 attack
-Icon of Tzeentch: Grants a 5+ invulnerable, or improved existing invulnerable by 1 (so Termies go up to 4+, for example)
-Icon of Nurgle: +1 tougness (does not count towards instant death) (most expensive but sometimes same point as IOT)
-These Icons are the only way to align a non-Cult unit to a particular god. They grant no other benefits than what is listed above (Icon of Slaanesh does not grant access to Sonic weaponry, for example)
-All Icons also act as Teleport Homers for Daemons, Terminators and Obliterators.
-"Squads" with only one man can not have icons; they get marks, same bonus except they don't act as Teleport Homers for Daemons, Terminators and Obliterators. But most of these models get personal icon, no stats benefit but they do act as Teleport Homers for Daemons, Terminators and Obliterators.

Doombolt changes to S4 AP3
-Warp Time is a new psychic power that allows the caster to re-roll failed rolls to hit and to wound in close combat

There are no 0-1 or similar limits anymore except for Greater Daemons who are 0-1. Your unit choices are only limited by the FOC. Yes, you can have two Daemon Princes.
GENERAL:
-Veterans skills are mostly gone. A few units still have a predetermined skill, but you may no longer pick and choose.
-There are no cult units beyond those listed in the troops section. For example, the only plague marines are the "plague marines" unit entry in the troops section. You cannot take plague marine havocs or plague marine terminators. You can give terminators the mark of Nurgle, but they only gain +1T, they do not get FNP or blight grenades. This is true for all 4 gods.

-No way to counter psychic powers
-Lone models(ICs or MC with only one in squad) do NOT get Icons of chaos: they get MARKS.

…-Tzeentch - Deathscreamer - Can be used a shooting weapon with the following profile: 24", S4, AP3, Assault D6 - if a 1 is rolled for number of shots, lose a wound and no shots are fired.
