Corey
DoC preorders available on 2/23 and are available for sale one week later. Obviously because February is a short month this means it will come out in the first few days of March instead of the last few days of February. Hoping it would be possible to consider allowing the new book to be used for the spring crossroads.
The old book has a lot of internal and external balance issues that given the 8th Ed trend so far I would hope will be better with the new.

That is a great question Gary. I personally feel it's too close to the event to use it, but I'd like to hear from the majority of other players to see what they think.
If anyone has an opinion on this subject one way or another, weigh in on this thread.
Thanks,
Corey

I say if it isnt broken let it go.I like the idea of using the new DoC book, of coarse once corey catches flaws & does some comp to it.Perhaps the general comp will be enough.I feel if it is released when they say it will be bring it on!

I say let them in, if people want to play with the New Daemons? Why not let them have there fun.

I would like to play my demons but with your points limit on units I don't think they are even close to competing with ogres and VC. So IMO unless the points cap is removed, allowing the new book might change my mind on bringing demons.

Personally, I think it is being released too close to the event and would give an unfair advantage due to many armies having army-specific comp, while this book will have none. Now, it very well could be a weak enough book that comp isn't required, but is there really enough time to playtest and find out? Not to mention the time being used to try out the new WoC book as well

In theory anybody choosing to DoC could be given 7 more days grace for sending in lists. This would give corey ample time to comp the army & check the forums for game mechanic flaws.

It's very close and within a month which is a pain, but I'd be happy playing against it even if the comp isn't anywhere close to perfect. We're playing for fun, I think Kelby is right and that you may want to push back the list submission date by a week if you do include daemons to give everybody who may want to change their lists to deal with the new book.
All that said, I'm not going to cry myself to sleep if you don't allow the new book. The release is very close to the event.

Current DoC are STALE. New book would be fine imho. come up with some basic comps a few days after release, just do the best you can.

I am a bit conflicted about it. I would love to try the new book out but I was also looking forward to having one last outing with the old book.

Ok, I'll allow the book. We'll get comp guidlines up ASAP once the book is released, and extend the list submission deadline for all army lists to March 16th to allow everyone to compensate.

From what I hear I would be happy if you just re wrote the whole book. It seems very sucky.
