What constitutes a Khorne unit, a Nurgle unit, a Slaanesh unit, and a Tzeentch unit?URL Copied!
A Khorne unit is lead by a champion of Khorne, a Nurgle unit is lead by a champion of Nurgle, a Slaanesh unit is lead by a champion of Slaneesh, a Tzeentch unit is lead by a champion of Tzeentch. The rank and file troopers for these units can be beastmen, minotaurs, chaos warriors, centaurs, dragon ogres, etc.
A champion is considered to be any of the characters from that patron deity (champion, hero, sorcerer, general, battle standard bearer, etc.).
This means that minotaur units led by champions of Khorne can use Khorne only magic banners.

Does anything affect the Daemonic Save versus wounds?URL Copied!
Yes. First of all the daemonic save is modified by the strength of the attack, also, wounds from a unicorn or magic weapon in hand to hand do not get a daemonic save. Wounds from magic missile attacks still get a daemonic save (with appropriate strength modifier).
Chaos gifts can be discarded to allow a re-roll of a missed daemonic saves.

If a khorne champion with the built-in chaos armour carries a sword of destruction, what happens to the chaos armour? Does the magical properties get negated only? If so, does it turn into heavy or light armour?URL Copied!
Technically, the bearer of the Sword of Destruction can have no other magic items, this prevents Khornate Champions from using it. A house rule is suggested that allows them to use it and the magical properties of the chaos armour are negated and it is treated as heavy armour.
