Assume define composition groups, Character, Core, Special and Rare.
Both Lord and Hero are effectively subgroups of the composition group
Character. A get round would be by automatically taking an option "hero"
which uses up another character slot when a daemon lord is selected by
adding in a dummy character costing zero points. Bear in mind that
within RH it is the point value of the overall army that limits the
number of characters (heroes and lords). By limiting the lord using a
min army size (2000 points or greater) then lords could only be taken
legally when this size met or exceeded. Now the trick is to ensure the
dummy character doesn't show up on the roster
I seem to recall that
V2 won't print out extraneous stats (when suitably defined) so perhaps
the dummy hero could be made to look like an option saying "counts as
hero choice as well as lord choice" or whatever. Messy but it would
work I think. The other difficulty is that the number of lords permitted
varies at 2000, 3000 and every +1000 points thereafter, but then so does
the overall number of characters.
The issue of special units which can vary would seem to be fairly simple
in comparison, composition group defined as Special and unit size
defined as 1:2 or whatever, the approach used to deal with killer kans
in 40K. The minor difficulty here is that if only want to give an
upgrade to 1 of the units then would need to use "add another chariot"
using rept or unit option or whatever to allow for the differences.

Of course, I neglected to say that I'm at Historicon, and I wouldn't be
home until late Sunday night...
Looks like it's being taken care of, though.
