Daemons of Chaos

is a playable race introduced in Total War: Warhammer III.
== How to play ==
*Daemonic Glory: Ascribe glory to the four Chaos Gods to be granted boons in the form of Daemonic Gifts and units.
*Daemonic Gifts: Equip body parts and weapons granted by the Chaos Gods to customise the Daemon Prince.
*Unit roster: Daemons of Chaos allow you to mix the forces of all the Chaos Gods. This makes the race versatile and unpredictable. Causing damage with your Lord generates glory, which rewards you with random army abilities in battles from the Reign of Chaos. 
== Background ==
Manipulated into a horrifying act by another, the Ungol Prince has given himself up entirely in exchange for the Ruinous blessings of all the Chaos Gods and ascendancy to Daemonhood. The newly arisen Daemon Prince shrugs off his mortal form to take on an ever-changing aspect more pleasing to his new patrons, who continue to war for his ravaged soul.
Now, it is the destiny of the Daemon Prince to command the legions of Chaos Undivided in waging eternal war against entire nations and immortal rivals, as he seeks a terrible vengeance on sovereigns and even gods. Will he claim the Mark of one master or forge a path that will bring him to utter domination, which even the Dark Powers will struggle to harness?

=== Unique campaign mechanics ===
Daemonic Glory
The Daemon Prince may gain glory with an individual Chaos God or Undivided for powerful rewards such as Daemonic Gifts, units and factionwide bonuses.
Daemonic Gifts
Daemonic Gifts are the body parts and weapons for the Daemon Prince, they are unlocked as Daemonic Glory is earned. Some Daemonic Gifts will change the appearance of the Daemon Prince.
Glory
Glory is a unique resource that allows the progression of Daemonic Glory. It is earned by dedicating victories in battle to the Chaos Gods, by constructing certain buildings, and through mission rewards.
Bloodletting
Bloodletting is a fillable bar that provides bonuses when winning battles, these bonuses are increased when achieving higher levels of Bloodletting. However, the army must constantly win battles in order to maintain it otherwise it will decay and in the process lose the bonuses. Bloodletting requires Khorne's Offering III in Daemonic Glory to be unlocked.
Switchable Plagues
Switchable Plagues are set of unique plagues that can be imbued on all armies. Switchable Plagues requires Nurgle's Gifts III in Daemonic Glory to be unlocked.
Seduce Units
Seduce Units allows to spend favour to seduce enemy units prior to battle. Seduced units will switch sides and fight for the Daemons of Chaos in the upcoming engagement. Seduce Units requires Slaanesh's Delights III in Daemonic Glory to be unlocked.
Teleport Stance
Teleport Stance allows an army to teleport to a short distance in the campaign map in exchange for Winds of Magic. Armies cannot be intercepted by nearby armies when teleporting unlike with the Underway, Worldroots or Beast-Paths and can launch attacks when teleporting. Teleport Stance requires Tzeentch's Boons III in Daemonic Glory to be unlocked.
=== General mechanics ===

* Chaos Undivided Corruption
