Daemons of Lesser Powers - Part IV: Greater Daemons

Creating a greater daemon requires a vast outlay of power for the nascent chaos power. Therefore in creating some rules for generic greater daemons, the first point to make is that they will be very rare. This means that they must be restricted to a maximum of 1 per army or force organization chart.

As with the lesser daemons, I want the generic greater daemon to have many options, but be restricted to choosing only a few. The guiding principle is that they should be much less powerful than the greater daemons of the Big Four.
