39393660 Warriors of Chaos

CHOSEN OF CHAOS

®

R aised in battle, these great warriors fight for gloryand the favour of their patron gods. Immortalityand ultimate power are the rewards for those who

are strong, while mutation and madness await the weak. With the arrival of the Chaos Daemons list for

Warhammer, we have a new approach to dealing with thedifferent armies of Chaos, with each army being treatedseparately and given their own army book. As a result, theold Hordes of Chaos list is no longer valid. Phil Kelly iscurrently hard at work on a new list for Chaos Warriorsthat will see the light of day in the not too distant future. Inthe meantime for all you Chaos generals (and Spawnwannabees) we present a “get-you-by” list that will allowyou to field a fully functioning Chaos Warriors army until

From the far north come the conquering legions of Chaos, led by the Champions ofthe Dark Gods and the immortal Daemon Princes. Alessio Cavatore brings you acomplete army list to get you by until the release of the new Warriors of Chaos book.

Phil finishes his work (or runs screaming into the Chaoswastes – whichever is sooner). In keeping with the newDaemons of Chaos army book, this list is designed as a setof completely self-contained rules. It does not refer to rulesin either the Daemons of Chaos or the Beasts of Chaosarmy books, with the temporary exception of the ChaosGiant (who has too many rules to print here!).

Although the forthcoming Chaos release will feature anumber of new plastic sets to go alongside the existingChaos Warrior and Chaos Marauder kits, you can restassured that all the troop types featured in this list will alsoappear in the new version, so you can build your armywith confidence that things can only get better forfollowers of the Dark Gods.

WARRIORS OF CHAOS ARMY LIST

Marks of ChaosCharacters, units of Chaos Warriors and Chaos Knights,and Chaos Chariots can be given the Mark of a specificChaos God at the additional cost shown in each armylist entry. Each of the Marks bestows its benefits (shownto the right) on the character, unit or chariot bearing it.The Mark affects all models in the unit and onlycharacters bearing the same Mark, can join the unit orride in the chariot. A character or unit may only be givena single Mark. Because of their arcane nature, the Marksgiven to Daemon Princes may confer different specialrules, as described in their entry.

Mark of KhorneThe character/unit is subject to Frenzy.

Mark of NurgleThe character/unit causes Fear.

Mark of SlaaneshThe character/unit is Immune to Psychology.

Mark of TzeentchThe character/unit has a 6+ ward save. If it is a Wizard,it can use any Lore from the Warhammer rulebook.

Choosing CharactersCharacters are divided into two broad catagories: Lordsand Heroes. The maximum number of characters an armycan include is shown on the chart below. Of these only acertain number can be Lords.

Army Max. Total Max. Max.Points Value Characters Lords Heroes

Less than 2000 3 0 32000 or more 4 1 43000 or more 6 2 64000 or more 8 3 8Each +1000 +2 +1 +2

An army does not have to include the maximum number ofcharacters allowed. However, an army must alwaysinclude at least one character: the General. An army doesnot have to include Lords, it can include all of itscharacters as Heroes if you prefer.

Many characters can be equipped with a magic item,representing ancient weapons, and other artefacts ofconsiderable age and potency. Where characters have thisoption, it is included in their individual entries.

Choosing TroopsThe number of each type of unit allowed depends on thearmy’s points value.

There is a minimum of units from the Core unitscategory that you must take. Warhounds of Chaos do notcount towards this minimum number of Core units.

For Special and Rare units, there is a maximum numberof units that you can field.
