Icons can improve certain effects. Instruments can "summon" reserves or modify the result of the Warp Storm Table.
It's interesting that buying wargear upgrades are random and figured out the same time as psychic powers, possibility of certain units being made into heavy support just before the game (guess that is good for "heavy metal" scoring.
the dreaded #11 doesn't seem to be going away, if anything it may be getting slightly worse with the addition of this
Icons can improve certain effects. Instruments can "summon" reserves or modify the result of the Warp Storm Table.
right now there is only about a 10% chance of it happening every turn, if this "modify results" ends up being a +1/-1 that goes up dramatically.
As matt pointed out obviously this is going to be a serious problem for GK and Nids, and will certainly enter into the thinking for me when i'm making army lists depending how popular Daemons get after this.
Like i said before i wonder if all this crazy random random randomness will even appeal to a serious tournament player who doesn't build lists relying on luck or chance.
This is an interesting little tidbit about demonic instability
If you roll Double 1, all wounds lost in this combat are restored. Place lost models back on the table
If you roll Double 6, the whole unit is removed from play.
now granted daemons usually don't lose a lot of assaults but it does open the door for a 10% chance to either get your guys back or completely wipe out an expensive "death star" unit
