Special Tabletop Caps for Chaos

Once upon a time, Daemons and Mortals of Chaos were subjected to interesting divisions in the tabletop ruleset, in which, for instance, if you took a Mortal Chaos Lord to the field, Daemons would not be a common type of troop (and viceversa).

The idea of this mod is to add that ruleset back through DrunkFlamingo's Tabletop Caps system, with the aim of making your playthroughs with either Mortal or Daemon forces comparably different. For the most part, the rules follow this scheme: base Daemons are Special to Mortals, and base Mortals are Special to Daemons. For the monogod factions, this means you will have two types of army compositions, depending on whether you're fielding a Daemonic or Mortal general, with the intention that you see either Daemons or Mortals as support units. For Warriors of Chaos, the intention is to treat Gifted Units as specializations for your army; for Daniel, it means your roster will favor daemons over humans and mutants, with the intention to make it more of a purely Daemonic force. For the sake of variety, Be'lakor remains untouched, so you have a third playstyle available. Consider, though, that mortal undivided lords will still have the ruleset applied to them.

In summary: Daemon general (LL and regular lords) army compositions now favor daemons; Mortal general (LL and regular lords) army compositions now favor mortals. The spirit of this ruleset is to present you with interesting decisions when it comes to building up your armies, and, through the rosters themselves, to give you a lot of playstyle variety when picking any variant of Chaos, understanding variety less as vanilla's freer "pick n' mix" approach and more as a series of open, conscious tactical decisions.

Each faction has its own rules, which are detailed in the Discussions below. In more general terms, I have tried to keep balance, particularly for daemonic armies, by keeping at least 3 Core units for each faction. This meant shifting around some Special units (like Screamers or Bloodcrushers) into Core. I believe the loss of cheap and easy-to-recruit mortals more than compensates for the strength boost. Also, to compensate for the loss of variety, some Daemon units' Special/Rare points cost has been lowered. In parallel, Mortal armies have a wider variety of units already, so the changes are oriented towards making your picks of Daemon units much more significant.

In the end, I believe this will make each one of your armies distinct, and will give you many, many interesting decisions about what to pick in your roster depending on each general.

Before subscribing, consider that this is not a structural gameplay change, which means that there's no compensation of any sort in terms of campaign mechanics. This means that you will have a different experience to vanilla/TTC simply because you have to approach army-building in a more specialized manner; it might be more difficult than before, or it might be easier, depending on your faction pick. In both cases, you should have a more "stable" experience by the mid-game.

The rosters, particularly Undivided, are huge, so if you see a unit (or a Lord) that is not working please let me know and have some patience while I figure it out!

Have in mind this is meant for use in Immortal Empires, though it will work with other campaigns. Be'lakor is Daemons of Chaos in RoC, while he is part of the Warriors in IE, so both campaigns will play differently either way.

Should be compatible with anything, including TTC submods like my own. The rules are tied to a new skill that all Chaos Lords of all types have, titled either "Master of Mortals" or "Master of Daemons" ("Dominion Over Mortals/Daemons" is the Undivided variant). If you have mods that add skills to LLs or generic Lords, it might be possible to have a clash, so let me know if you have any problems when activating any skill mods.

If you use Legendary Characters, which includes some Chaos Lords, you can use my Special Tabletop Caps for Legendary Characters submod along with this.

Unit mods are a lot of work, so I will only add a very select few - please don't ask me for more.

Because of the *big* army list, I need your feedback and support in testing army comps. Let me know in the Rules Discussion about any observations you might have regarding balance, points, etc.

Above all, I hope you have fun!

Thanks to DrunkFlamingo for the nerdy joy that is the TTC system! Also, thanks to Nothing. for the help and feedback. Thanks to other TTC submodders for the inspiration, and of course, to Bestial for the 6th edition WHFB talk.
