Hello!

I've been acquiring miniatures to finally be able to field a decent Chaos army and I'm definitely getting there!

That being the case, I've been reading up on the NE Gold Chaos rules but was seeking some clarification on selecting armies for play.

It is clear that each Greater Demon counts as a Company Card, as do the Chaos Marine Century cards. I recall that under the original rules there was an obligation to buy at least 3 support cards for each Company Card, is this no longer the case? Also, under the original rules, support cards like Trolls, Minotaurs, Beastmen, etc which were not tied to a specific power could be added on to any Company Card even if it related to a specific power. Is this no longer the case?

Thanks!

To answer the first question, I thought that too, but I couldn't find anything in the rules to back that up, so like you, I assume not.

Regarding the Trolls, Minotaurs, Beastmen et al, they are only part of the standard list, so you would have to take them as support cards for company cards from that list as per the usual rules.

It's not a major handicap though, as you can easily mix the standard Chaos list with the dedicated ones (read the rules on army composition very carefully, it took me a couple of attempts to realise the implications), and the Troll and Minotaur company card in the regular Chaos list is also really handy in its own right.

It will be great to field my old Chaos army again, as I've really been struggling to get it to feel characterful enough in EA.

Nope, it's still OK to take Standard List support for Greater Daemons:
Quote:
8: Required Support: Greater Daemons have a minimum of three Support
Cards each. That is, you can’t take a Greater Daemon unless you also purchase three
to five Support Cards for it. These Support Cards must come from the same Power or
the Standard list
(e.g. minions of Slaanesh will not serve a Khorne master).

It's very rare I'll put together a Khorne or Nurgle army without some cultists and the like for numbers.

Nice! I had been looking over the rules several times and somehow managed to miss that every time! Cheers!

Well spotted, I couldn't find that either. Clearly, my skills at reading rules from a computer screen need more work.

Just for final clarification, which page is this quote taken from?

So it is, thank you.

For some reason I kept missing rule 8, perhaps because it was just on its own in the second column, so I was thinking that there were only seven rules for Greater Daemons.
