Because of this, it is not unknown for Lords of Change to possess powerful underlings, bands of Horrors and even Chaos Champions of their own. This is not due to cowardice or any other emotion irrelevant to a daemon of the warp, but because it interests them more to direct the forces of combat from afar, guiding or even ordering combatants rather than fighting themselves.

While not averse to warfare, Lords of Change typically do not engage in direct battle. Thus a Lord of Change can only be defeated when it is part of one of Tzeentch’s grand schemes, when he tricks his own Daemon by sending it false visions of the future. Confrontations with these Greater Daemons almost always occur with their foreknowledge getting the drop on a creature that is an embodiment of the Master of Destiny is unlikely. Furthermore they are capable of seeing the near future which allows them to predict their foes’ and allies’ every move. For nothing is made that cannot be unmade, or changed, and such areas are the domains of the daemons of Tzeentch. They are said to be able to turn scores of men into boneless spawn at a mere glance, destroy an armoured vehicle with a flick of a finger, or wrench the soul out of even the mightiest warriors with a simple word.

Their magical abilities are so strong that the most powerful sorcerous incantations of mortals are reckoned to be but simple tricks to a Lord of Change. They are powerful sorcerers and resourceful manipulators who appear to mortals as omniscient beings. Even without access to Tzeentch’s knowledge of fate, they are said to be deeply intelligent and understanding of life’s mysteries. Nothing is more pleasing to a Lord of Change than to break open fate and re-shape it, be it by manipulation of individuals or direct action. As individuals, they are all said to possess the attitude of wicked children playful but mischievous and even openly malicious towards the lesser beings they delight in manipulating. Lords of Change are notable for being allowed access to Tzeentch’s very own reserves of wisdom and for essentially being expressions of his cunning, which gives them great power.
