In a nutshell: Very expensive, but....he's a army wide Chaplain. He's not a flyer, but he is fast enough with fleet, and he is a bloodthirster. Protect him as long as possible, he's worth every penny in a Daemon army.
Pros: He's a Bloodthirster. He makes your entire very assault oriented army, re-roll to hit rolls. What else needs to be said? A normal chaplain is half the cost, and nowhere near as effective or as dangerous.
Cons: He makes the enemy hate you too. Make sure you go first and kill him.
Tactics: He's a huge asset to Daemons, especially when facing vehicles--because he does not give preferred enemy, he simply gives re-rolls to hit so you can slam vehicles. Against infantry he's often overkill on a full friendly unit, but on small remnant units he is a force multiplier, letting them do damage as if they were larger than they really are. Such is the joy of re-rolls to hit across your entire army.
Final word: He's going in my army. I think he's hard to protect and a huge target, but he's very very good for a Daemon army. Give him a try.

what is his stats?
Buy the book.
WS10 BS0 S8 T6 W4 I5 A6 Ld10 Sv4+ 300 points
The poster also forgot to mention that all units within 24" get to reroll to hit (friend and foe alike)
Enemy re-rolls on yourself doesn't make his point cost worth it, imo... Why would I spend 300 on something that could help my enemy just as much as me, even if I get the higher init? Not worth the risk...
I prefer Fateweaver over this guy. ENEMIES get to reroll to hit as well? come on, man. Oh, and he doesn't fly like a normal bloodthirster. :\
This only kind of helps high int. units like slaanesh. but... still... enemies get to re-roll to hit... fateweaver over this guy any day.

Scarbrand Is way better then fateweaver! Every time I've used him he has eaten through 2-3 elite units and killed the HQ of the opponent. He more then makes up for his points!
