The Forces of Chaos are the greatest villains

of the Warhammer Fantasy universe, the

meta, and physical embodiment of
inescapable entropy itself. They are one of the
rare examples of villains in fiction who
succeed in their ultimate mission, with the
Warhammer world lying broken at the end of
their long conflict.
Led by Archaon, the Harbinger of the End
Times, Chaos assaults their foes in a three
pronged manner. From without hordes of
superhuman Northmen and Beastmen- backed
by the Chaos Dwarf legions and other, more
malevolent things- seek to drown their foes in
a never-ending tide of bodies. From within
the enemy ranks agents work to instill
conflict, subvert populations, and, ultimately,
convert willing servants to Chaos. Most
terrifying of all is the threat from beyond,
where malevolent daemons-negative emotions
made flesh- instill supernatural terror and
come in swarm like numbers.
Khorne – Murderous, crimson-red giant who’s
servants favor the ax. Fueling raw hatred and urge
for destruction, rage is what drives them.
Nurgle – Fat, bloated, disease-ridden monstrosity,
affectionately known as “Grandfather Nurgle”. He
wants to gift the mortal realms with magical
super-diseases that will churn everyone and
everything to die and be rebirthed into his
demonic servants. And he’ll be their great daddy
welcoming with warm, squishy hugs.
Tzeentch – The Changer of Ways, unpredictable,
a god of sorcery for fate, change, and
manipulation. Avatars and Greater Daemons are
typically viewed with a birdlike head on a long
neck, fickle and able to manipulate fates and alter
form and history.
Slaanesh – The Dark Prince, God(ess?) of
pleasure, perversion, desire, and passion. Lust,
gluttony, wealth, pride, all are in his domain.
Servants of Slaanesh (mortal and daemon) are
known for their incredible grace, supernatural
beauty, almost complete inability to feel fear and
extreme pride.

Hashut – A minor Chaos god compared to the

greater four, personifying tyranny, greed, fire, and
hatred. Worshipped by the Chaos Dwarves. He
has no real Daemon servants of his own, and
consumes his followers, grinding their souls to
fuel his growth.

NORTHMEN – Mostly toughened Humans who live in the frozen, Chaos-wasted north. Mortals seeking
to worship and please their Chaos Gods and going out to do war and pillage, like Huns/Mongols/Vikings.
Some come with mutations, like a third arm, extra eyes, tentacles, fur, and whole slew of others.

BEASTMEN – Mostly combination of cloven-hoof beasts and men, like Minotaurs, Faun, and Centaurs,
but they’re very savage, tribal, and animalistic. They hate society, cities, and technology and do
everything they can to desecrate such order.
CHAOS WARRIORS – Those Northmen who have earned a spot in the ranks to don permanent,
daemonic-infused armor. No longer needing sleep, food, rest, or care for the same emotional needs as
their fellow Men they left behind. They are somewhat like Chaos Space Marines in a Fantasy setting.

CHAOS DWARVES – While barely mutated, and driven by their god Hashut, with a semblance of night
vision and able to forge daemonic things into technology, they’re basically very close to their Order kin.

DRUCHI – Dark Elves. They drink blood, have magic, love killing, torturing, and raiding, a sub-faction
of them broke off from the rest of Dark Elf society. Those who follow Morathi have subdued to ally with
Chaos.

DAEMONS – Chaos Daemons are the non-physical, immortal creatures that serve their masters on a
higher level. It is the will and desire of most mortals who serve Chaos to eventually attain Daemonhood,
becoming a massive champion warrior, a direct lieutenant for their god. But a vast majority will die,
become horribly mutated in the wrong manner, or possibly become a lesser underling. Daemons are
metaphysical and are extremely difficult to destroy; and they warp the world around their presence. They
are strong, magical beings that often required dedicated magical attack to have any long-lasting, effective
means of killing. They are nightmares and the stuff of dreams, often shaped to match a hint of semblance
to the greater god they serve.

However, stalwart hearts and solidifying in the physical world can also act as a deterring defense. For
Daemons do not belong in the ‘real’ world, and require a manifestation of Chaos magical power in order
to continue warping their existence enough to remain physical.

On the quest for ultimate Daemonhood, servants to Chaos are gifted variously with occasional mutations,
increasing vigor and ability, magic-bound weapons, trinkets, and other equipment, armor, and weapons.
Marks of Chaos are the most distinct and common, often found under whole groups in a war band
marching together.

Nurgle often gifts his warriors with disease and regeneration, making them physically tougher to attacks.
Slaaneshi warriors give Men the ability to have grace and speed of an Elf, or make them giddy and laugh
at the most terrifying situations. Marks of Khorne turns his servants into mouth-foaming, rabid warriors
infused with boundless, hateful energy. Tzeentch infuses his followers with a fraction improvement to
magical capability; even mundane warriors able sometimes to alter their situation to increase their
survival and success just ever so shifted.
will group together in mobs, but are generally
fierce, individualistic warriors.
Gors – Beastmen of the general, lower rank.
Chaos Warriors – (See Races list) Exclusively
Equipped with ramshackle weapons, sometimes
close combat oriented, all with shields, heavy
shields. Close combat unit but they are plentiful.
armor, large weapons, some among them with
mutations, and minor, magical gifts.
Chaos Marauders / Norse Warhird – Northmen
warriors. Almost exclusively close combat driven,
Forsaken / Darksoul – When a Chaos
going to battle with typical combat weapons like
Warrior mutates too much and becomes a
spears, shields, swords, axes, etc. Some hunters
deranged, thoughtless, mindless, beastly creature
with fearsome creatures for pets like bears and
with a hint measure of Daemonic power. They’re
wolves. Like most Human tribal war bands, they
pretty much just herded towards the enemy.
Bloodletters – Roughly 7-foot-tall, long-horned
Chaos Daemons who serve Khorne. They are
sadistic, cruel, ferocious, and vile, carrying a very
large, magical greatsword (even for them) into
battle that can cleave through the soul.
Pink/Blue Horror – Cackling mad and standing
as tall as a goblin, the Pink horror is the basic foot
soldier of Tzeentch. By themselves Pink Horrors
can cast small gouts of Eldritch fire to scorch
whatever foe is ahead of him. When massed
together Pink Horrors are minor wizards, able to
know a single spell from Tzeentch’s listing, most
likely one of the lowest. In close combat they
attack with both claws and supernatural strength
to squeeze and choke. When killed in close
combat these Pink Horrors split into two, slightly
smaller, Blue Horrors.
Plague Bearers – Cyclopean horrors filled
with untold diseases and shambling forward
like zombies, Plaguebearers are the toughest
basic daemon troop, sometimes requiring
dismemberment to put down. In combat they
are armed with plague swords that possess
terrible diseases. Putrid flies surround them
that, when in combat, have an annoying
tendency to fly in the open mouths or eyes
of their opponents, crawl up nostrils, or
clog ears. Even if all of that is covered they
will still try to bite and sting where they can.
Daemonettes – Very fast (like, keep up with
a trotting horse), slick creatures generally of
effeminate features, with two large, crab-like
claws. In battle, their faces and manner can
appear to shapeshift and tease the mind into
thinking it’s a precious loved one or family
member. They have heightened senses and are
able to swiftly dodge attacks gracefully like a
skilled Elf.
Orc and Goblin Slaves: Chaos Dwarfs command
legions of Orc and Goblin slaves into battle. Their
innate Greenskin tenacity and desire to fight
absolutely everything make them ideal warriors to
let utilize in battle, though each has a different
specialty. Orcs, being physically stronger,
taller, and tougher than humans, along with
their incredible ability to ignore a great deal of
pain, are ideal in slogging through frontline ranks.
Goblins, being scrawny and half the size of a
man, but cunning and incredibly numerous,
specialize in sneaking in and stabbing the enemy
in the back.
Rarer Black Orcs are excellent shock troops
however, for historical reasons, the Chaos Dwarfs
are incredibly wary of this kind of Dwarf. Expect
all orcs and goblins to wield crude iron weapons
such as iron axes (‘Choppas’) and armor.
Hobgoblins / Gnoblars: Scrawny, often stupider,
lanky, smaller versions of Goblins used by Chaos
Dwarves and Ogres respectively.
Chaos Dwarfs Legion: Disciplined legions of
durable dwarfs, this unit is known for its
stubbornness when it comes to retreat and
incredible difficulty when it comes to breaking
before the enemy. They wield crossbows, axes,
hammers, and blunderbusses, coming equipped in
heavy plate.
Infernal/Immortal Guard: Elite Chaos Dwarves
that are completely fearless, equipped with
magically enhanced weapons and a Fire Glaive
(halberd / repeating rifle), and Blackshard armor
which is better than steel plate armor. The
Immortal Guard are like the Infernal Guard but
with hooked axes and armor made of granite!
Druichi Warriors – Cruel soldiers with decades
or even centuries of experience. They come in
four different flavors. Bleakswords are the
swordsmen of this group and each is said to be
enough of a narcissist to believe themselves to be
numbered among the greatest swordsmen of the
age. Dreadspaers are armed with their name and
are renowned for forming formations full og
flistening spear points. Darkshards fire short
ranged repeating crossbows, often poison tipped.
Corsairs are sea raiders who favor weapons that
suit their close combat lifestyle including punch
daggers, short blades, as well as nets, barbed
chains and other forms of grapples. All can
usually be expected to have leather or light plate
armor cuirasses.
Druichi Slaves – Humans (mostly) but sometimes
other races who are used as fodder by the Dark
Elves to soak up enemy missile fire. Might have a
makeshift weapon with no armor. When not in
combat, they do the grudgework around camp.
Chaos Undead: For the most part, these undead
are mostly zombies or skeletons capable of biting
or using rusted hand weapons. Given that they are
of the Chaos and likely Nurgle, they are disease
infested.
Bestigors – Bestigors are essentially elite Gors
given plate armor and the best, non-magical
weapons of the tribe to serve as bodyguards for
the Beastlord or elite shock troops. They are more
disciplined than Gors and can work in a
formation, albeit a very loose and ill-disciplined
one. At the same time they will deliberately seek
out and engage enemy elite units as part of their
quest to prove their own superiority.
Minotaurs – Growing up to be roughly twelve
feet tall, weighing sixty stone (840 lbs) and strong
enough to rip a man in half with ease, the
minotaur is a creature even Beastmen tread lightly
around. They have an omnipresent hunger that can
never be stated and are known for falling into a
state of endless consumption even on the
battlefield, killing and ignoring everything around
it. They wield massive axes, flails and the like.
Tuskagor Chariot – A Chariot pulled by two
giant, mutated wild boars. Rickety constructions,
these devices as a onetime shock maneuver to
crash into enemy lines and inflict great damage.
That the chariot often shatters at point of impact
upsets the Beastmen not, for they will have ridden
down many of the enemy in doing so. Even when
the chariot is broken the frenzied Tuskagors are
still threats to be reckoned with.
Razorgor Chariot – The Razorgor foul-
tempered, bigger cousin of the Tuskagor and is
well feared by the Beastmen. Countless
Beastlords have died trying to tame these
creatures, yet every once in a while one succeeds.
Once this is done the Beastlord will build a
chariot to showcase his new status while he rides
around the massive boar. Though they have poor
vision, when a Razorgor catches site of the enemy
they are near-uncontrollable, running over any in
their path to get to them. Such is the power of
their charge that they can knock down minor
walls, flatten a tree, and scatter shield walls.
The Skaramor: The Skaramor are a particularly
bloodthirsty Chaos tribe composed of
Skullreapers and Wrathmongers. Skullreapers
wield giant, dual wielded axes and are murderous
devotees of Khorne. Above them are the fearsome
Warthmongers whose supernatural power is the
result of them defeating and imprisoning a
daemon inside of them for strength. They dual
wield giant flails in combat. Both are superhuman
enough to rip men into pieces.
Chosen: Chosen are elite Chaos Warriors (though
still no ranged weapons) with faster reactions,
better weapons, and more advanced
training/experience. They fight together (roughly)
more as individual champions than rank and
formation. They have absolutely no fear, and they
excel at breaking enemy lines.
Chaos Knights – Essentially mounted Chosen.
Bull Centaur – Cross a Chaos Dwarf and a bear-
sized bull and you get this. These creatures are
held sacred by the Chaos Dwarfs and often assist
with the temples of Hashut. They have the
strength of an ogre, are given fine-crafted axes
and heavy plate armor that combines well with
their scaly skin. Among their number are the
potent Taur’ruks; massive and ancient, they are
commanders of the Chaos Dwarf legions and
heralds of Hashut. These wield incredibly potent
blackshard armor that is stronger than steel.
Cold One Riders – Imagine a cruel Dark Elf
Druichi knight mounted on top of a giant
velociraptor. A fully armed and armored,
complete with a shield and a long lance. Few in
number.
Chaos Spawn – When the servants of the dark
gods mutant too rapidly or are granted too many
cruel gifts, they can succumb to be half-deformed
Daemons. They are pretty animalistic, bizarre, and
are herded towards the enemy battle lines.
Northmen, Chaos Warriors, other followers,
sometimes even enemies can mutate into Chaos
Spawn.
Skullcrushers / Bloodcrushers of Khorne –
Mounted Chaos Warriors or Bloodletters riding
large, bear-sized Daemons called Juggernauts that
are made of brass and bronze, epitomizing hate
and rage.
Chaos / Gorebeast Chariot – Sturdy chariots of
war covered in scythes and spikes, large enough
to carry those large Chaos Warriors who ride
them. Some rare ones are pulled by a Gorebeast, a
hulking, ape-like, rhino monster.
Chariots of Slaanesh – Pulled by a pair of
Seekers (see Hellstriders in Rapid Relief), and
operated by two Daemonettes. A Hellflayer is a
large, scything plow pulled by two Seekers each
with a Daemonette rider and a third operator from
behind. Daemonettes on these are typically armed
with magical whips and lashes.
Putrid Blightkings – Oversized Chaos Warriors,
Champions of Nurgle infested with an incredible
amount of diseases, possessing several combat
weapons on their person and blessed with
superhuman endurance to even put an Orc to
shame.
Chaos Trolls – Dumb as a rock, these hulking
creatures 8-12 feet tall have very strong
regeneration, and can vomit powerful acid. They
go to battle with clubs but will also pick up and
throw heavy stones. But unlike normal Trolls,
they are touched by warping Chaos. Bile Trolls
have less regeneration but are packed with
Nurgle-based magical diseases. Norscan Ice Troll,
which has an aura of frost that slows down enemy
moves.
Dragon Ogre – An Ogre-Centaur hybrid that
stands taller than a living room could usually
accommodate. They are ancient and rare, immune
to shock/electrical attacks, very durable hide,
though they are rather slow. They avoid Chaos
Daemons and have disdain for the rest of the
Chaos forces.
Blood Dragons – Vampire Knights that defected
to Chaos. They are immortal, cunning, as fast or
faster than warrior Elves, undead, and sometimes
have enchanted armor and heraldry. They are
extremely prideful and rarely turn down a
challenge.
Chaos Warhounds – Mutated, large, Chaos dogs
sent in packs, accompanying Northmen.
Hobgoblin Wolf Rider – As it sounds.
Centigors –Beastmen Centaurs with low intellect,
coordination, and low skill. Wield light axes and
spears.
Harpies – Bird-bat women of animalistic nature,
swarming over a battlefield, with large razor
claws.
Marauder Horsemen – Northmen Marauders
(see Line Infantry) on horseback. Grizzled and
tough, but still mortal men with close combat
weapons and shields.
Skin Wolves / Ulfrenar – Werewolves.
Hellstriders / Seekers of Slaanesh – Hellstriders
are weak-willed Northmen riding Seekers of
Slaanesh, requiring ever greater need to inflict
pain and torture on the foe or else collapse to a
gibbering mess. They are magically sealed on
their mounts. Seekers are also commonly ridden
by Daemonettes (see Line Infantry).
Shades – Tribal Dark Elf Druichi that have
become nearly superhuman scouts, silently
stalking forests with heightened senses. They have
repeating crossbows and are exceptionally skilled
with them, even compared to most other Elves.
Dark Riders – Armored Dark Elf horsemen with
spears and shields, riding along flanks and
targeting war machines and cut through supply
lines.
(CREATURES AND MONSTERS)
Doombull – Take a Beastmen Minotaur and make
it nearly the size of a giant. Give it a pair of
massive axes and infectious bloodlust.
Chaos Giants – 60-foot-tall giant man, not very
bright, and not very well coordinated and can fall
down for a various number of reasons. These
Giants have Chaos mutation, sometimes outfitted
with heavy armor and a weapon better than an
oversized club.
Cygor – A giant, 30-foot cousin of the Minotaur.
It sees with magic through one eye, and can fix on
a wizard and will have an obsession to drink the
wizard’s soul. Likewise attracted to magical
items, armor, weapons, etc. Poor sight for
anything else and occasionally can accidentally
step on allies. They throw boulders at a short
distance and use brawn and size in combat.
Ghorgon – Similar to a Cygor, it has four arms,
two wielding large blades, and mouths all over the
body. Beastmen often have to sacrifice some of
their number to barely slack its hunger before
battle.
Jabberslythe – Combine a toad, octopus,
different insects, sludge, and a dragon into a
confusing mass (note, the tabletop model is a
rather poor representation compared to artwork,
and they often come in many forms and shapes).
A monstrosity the size of a small house that can
sort of fly in bursts, it has an aura that carries a
various assortment of effects—extreme
demoralizing, reducing coordination, and
inhibiting command and focus. Supreme heroic
characters might resist the aura, while basic,
weak-trained troops might become jabbering,
uncoordinated cowards, they might even just go
insane.
Dragon Ogre Shaggoths – Dragon Ogre
Shaggoths are the great leaders of their race who
fast bargained with the Chaos Gods, giving over
the soul of their race in return for immortality.
Much larger than a regular Dragon Ogre, in lore
they carry great weapons so large, that a dozen
strongmen were only able to barely lift one. They
are much tougher than normal dragon ogres and
any electrical based attacks actually heals them.
Multilath Vortex Beast – A terrifying monster of
pure mutation; an abomination of nature if there
ever was one. The shape of the beast type is
nearly indeterminable, but some commonalities
have emerged. Most often these creatures have are
described with a large gaping maw full of rows
upon rows of teeth, along with numerous flailing
tentacles. It has a number of mutation based
moves, moves that cause insanity or even a super
move that turns some of the enemy regiment into
Chaos Spawn!
Chaos War Mammoth – As it sounds, but make
the thing 30-feet tall, able to carry 20 men and a
Chaos Shrine on its back.
Slaughterbrute – A horned, Chaos-warped,
spiked, lean bear with long tentacles for a tongue,
crouched to easily 10 to 12-feet in height. It has to
be bound to will by Chaos Champions using
rituals and sacrifice. It is quick for its size, like a
hound feigning and parrying attacks.
Hydra – A monster used by the Dark Elves that,
while their heads don’t always grow back, still
have impressive regeneration, equal to that of the
Trolls.
Bloodwrack Medusae – Half-snake creatures that
are herded into mobile shrines guarded by the
toughest Druichi and unleashed upon the enemy,
unleashing waves of despair at close ranges and
locking gazes with foes at greater ranges to cause
them to violently bleed from every part of their
bodies.
K’Daai – These creatures are elemental beings of
destruction, mindless to the point where sorcerers
are the only ones to wield even tentative control
over the entity. They are so destructive that they
quickly burn out outside the battlefield and most
be placed on ice in between time. There are two
versions, one the size of Ogres used as shock
troops, the other the size of giants used as
towering colossi. They can be ‘upgraded’ with
wings or affixed blades.
Chaos Dragons – Multiple variations, often
magical and warped, and can be ridden by a
significantly powerful Chaos Warrior hero.
Typically come with two heads. Though rare, a
scant few can be as long as 100 feet! Toad
Dragons in particular are magically diseased and
touched by Nurgle, more mindless compared to
the more intelligent Chaos Dragons.
Soul Grinder – Part multi-storied Daemon, part
multi-legged, walking tank, parts of it made of
magical warpmetal. They can spit magical acid
hundreds of meters, an iron claw sporting a
flamethrower, sometimes upgraded with claws
powerful enough to rip a giant in two.
(ARTILLERY)
Hobgoblin Spear-Chukkas- Basically
exceptionally rickety ballista used by Hobgoblins.
Prone to breaking apart.
Repeating Bolt Thrower – Light artillery used
by the skilled Dark Elves.
Hellcannon – An oversized cannon that is
demonically possessed, the barrel pretty much a
giant, mutated mouth. They have to be chained to
the ground and can growl and can sometimes
plow forward to engulf foes. It shoots arcane
blasts of magical, molten slop that explodes on
impact. Its munition are captured slaves.
Magma Cannon – Chaos Dwarf short-ranged,
it’ll grapeshot spread-fire molten lava at targets
getting too close.
Deathshrieker Rockets – Gunpowder-driven
rockets with fire-spirits bound to them that have
multiple detonations over a battlefield, raining
magical fiery death below. Though horribly
inaccurate and occasionally the daemons of the
fire will hunt down Chaos Dwarves instead.
Dreadquake Mortar – Shooting shells capable of
instantly killing a dozen men and causing small,
localized earthquakes around the impact site for
dozens of meters around, or more.
Exalted Hero / Champion – Hero Chaos
Warrior, often carrying enchanted armor, and/or
magical weapons, along with Chaos mutations,
lieutenants of sorts.
Bray-shaman – Main magic user of the Beastmen
and the chief religious figure. Though they cannot
rule tribes directly, they do have the Braylords ear
and pass down messages from the gods or
daemons. These magic users vary in strength but
can use the Lore of the Beast, Death, Shadows
and the Wilds. Usually 1-2 per warherd.
Braylord – Leaders of Beastmen, they are
exceptionally skilled champions with magical
armor and weapons. A Beastlord’s leadership is
based on strength, and he must constantly be
careful not to show any weakness lest an
opportunistic underling seek to challenge him.
May ride in a Tuskgor or Razorgor chariot.
Chaos Warshrine – A large, mobile shrine
carried on the back of some mutated beast. The
Shrine’s mount is enticed to the front-lines by the
Shrine master, who then conducts vile rituals and
battlefield sacrifices on top its altar. These
blessings essentially make everyone in the
Shrine’s immediate vicinity tougher.
Chaos Dwarf Daemonsmith / Sorcerer Lords
The Leaders and spell casters of the Chaos Dwarf
empire. The former, slightly more common are
the great artisans of the empire, numbering in the
many hundreds, who build and sponsor the
creations of daemonic engines while the latter are
the actual rulers of the empire and the high priests
of Hashut. Both wield the lores of Hashut, fire and
metal (with the sorcerer-lord being better at it),
can come equipped with magical weapons known
as darkforgged weapons, wield Napatha bombs
and can be equipped with blackshard armor. May
ride the Chaos Dwarf moutns listed below.
Chaos Dwarf Thegns – The non-magical rulers
of the various forts of the Chaos Dwarfs. They too
can wield magical weapons, possess certain
mounts and the like.
Highborne – Dark Elf Druichi nobles with some
magical weapons that have given into Slaanesh.
Some have actual military experience
Sorceresses – Sorceresses of the Druichi and
main spellcasters. They can wield magics of Dhar,
shadow, fire and death. May ride steeds of
Slaanesh or Dark Pegasi (flying horses) and come
equipped with a sword/staff.
Anointed – Dark Elves overloaded with
sensations and craving more from the touch of
Chaos, their pupils complete blackness and some
of their kind have skin turned translucent and blue
tinged - others, their flesh turned ebony. They
exude terrifying strength, and are capable of
unnatural feats of Daemonic power. May use the
Lores of Slaanesh & Dhar.
Chaos Lord – The best of the best of Chaos
Warriors, giant warlords bristling with magical
armor and weapons, excellent duelists and
extremely skilled in combat.
Chaos Sorcerers – Relatively rare individuals
capable of directly utilizing the magical winds of
Chaos and channel them into terrifying effects
that often bulldoze over dozens or a few hundred
enemies, or embolden just as many allies. Some
are minor, near novices only able to grab and use
so much magic at a time and cast one or two
spells, to mighty spell casters able to vomit Chaos
fire on a foe before summoning a small storm
raining magical acid over a hundred square
meters.
Heralds of the Gods - Heralds are minor
Daemons who are either created or have risen
among the ranks to possess a position of authority
among a given daemonic legion, buffering and
boosting the power and capacity of their fellow
Daemons (of the same god) minor boosts and
capacity.
Greater Daemons - A Greater Daemon is the
highest pinnacle that a Daemon can aspire to, the
most self-aware of them all, requiring the
dedication and brave sacrifice of hundreds of men
to kill them with mere physical weapons. They are
listed below.
Bloodthirster – Standing several times the height
of a man with every patch of skin caked in blood
the Bloodthirster’s very gaze has been known to
invoke fear in the hearts of mortals. They can
breathe fire, are excellently skilled combatants,
are armed with axes and/or lashes, and if that
weren’t enough, they have wings and fly.
Lord of Change – A towering Daemon standing
several times the height of a man. Powerful
sorcerers able to manipulate the fate of those
around them. They stand back and direct their
forces and cast spells often from the Lore of
Tzeentch or Metal with expert clarity. However
sometimes a Lord of Change might not appear on
the battlefield at all and instead with manipulate
fate from afar, using mystical means to better
direct his forces and control the ebb of fighting.
Like the Bloodthirster, they also have wings.
Great Unclean One – Enormous bloated Nurgle
daemon that serves as the embodiment of every
self-destructive physical or emotional defense
mortals use to justify their misery. These are the
most durable of all Greater daemons. The Great
Unclean One is usually a level 3 or 4 sorcerer who
can use spells from the Lore of Nurgle or of
Death. It can use more mundane swords or
magical weapons for melee however no matter
what he chooses the weapon is always poisoned.
Also is so massive and fat that it can easily crush
most of what it fights.
Keeper of Secrets – The embodiment of every
fetish and perversion; of selfish lust and violent
jealousy; of dark dirty pleasure and the abuse of
trust; of extreme domination and sadism. They are
master sword-daemons, know the lore of Slaanesh
and Shadow, and are said to have supernatural
dodging abilities.
Daemon Prince – The pinnacle of what a Chaos
Warrior wants to eventually become. Leader for
their chosen patron god over whole armies of
Daemons. Very rare, but extremely potent; they
stand 10-20 feet in height, many can fly, cast
magic, and are exceptional, personal warriors with
enchanted magical wards and protection. Capable
of fighting through and surviving all but a mini
nuclear strike. Otherwise, they require the
dedication of a small army, exceptional magic,
heroes wielding powerful weapons, or massed
artillery strikes to take down, assuming the rest of
their Daemonic army is dealt with! However, they
still require the investment of Chaos energy and
magical warping as their lesser Daemon cousins
to sustain their physical presence.
Exalted Daemonhost – For most mortals who
incur possession, a long path to damnation is all
that awaits as the daemon almost invariably steals
their soul. For those crazed zealots who offer their
souls willingly than the damnation is nearly
instant. However a few, very powerful mortals
will court daemonic possession voluntarily and
not be immediately subsumed by the daemon that
they so willingly host. These are the Exalted
Daemonhosts and they are basically a poor man’s
daemon prince (though still exceptionally
powerful).
Should be of note, there are nearly 40 additional
named characters, but they are mostly of
lieutenant status, superior and strong individuals
of existing warrior types and subtypes already
listed in the profile. Just understand that the skill
and leadership capacity is varied to some degree,
with an excellent individual at the head of every
unit subtype specialty. Overall, most Chaos-bound
heroes and their allies are more interested in
personal acclaim to combative or magical abilities
than strategic leadership qualities.
ARCHAON THE EVERCHOSEN
The leader of the overall Chaos and Skaven
force (if only by fear of him) Archaon is the
Everchosen of the gods. His rule is iron and he
has conquered across the world for the last two
hundred years, fighting all manner of foes through
Cathay in the east to the Lizardmen in the West.
He is a brilliant, innovative commander who wins
through his wits and mastery of psychological
manipulation as much as his sword and this
creativity is further enhanced by the Eye of
Sheerian, which allows him to see the past, scry
the present and perceive all possible futures.
It was Archaon who ultimately and successfully
brought about the End Times. In combat he is a
powerhouse, wielding the Sword of Kings which
is capable of drastically enhancing his strength +
ignore all armor, the aforementioned Eye of
Sheerian, the Armor of Morkar which is one of
the most physically durable armor in Warhammer
Fantasy augmented further by magical wards and
the Crown of Domination which gives off an aura
of terror in his immediate presence. In combat
skill he has mastered every single weapon and
martial art, can strangle a Bloodthirster to death
with his own whip. Skaven & dark elf assassins,
even Brunner the Bounty Hunter have all tried and
failed to kill him and he is probably the most
difficult to kill creature in Warhammer Fantasy.
Valkia the Bloody- Flying Vakyrie who serves as
Khorne’s chief daemon princess. She is known for
her skill with the magical spear, Shaurpnir, and
her daemonshield, which has hypnotic eyes that
weakens all but the strongest enemy reactions. It
can also give a piercing cry to induce fear,
hypnotic suggestion, or absorb magic to send it
right back act. Even without magic it can clamp
its teeth down on an attacker’s weapon. As a
commander she favors unrelenting assault,
disdaining much else in the way of tactics.
Glottkin – Triplets composed of Otto, the scythe-
wielding leader, Ethrac highest-level sorcerer and
Ghurk, the mutated mount of the other two the
size of a small giant. Boisterous triplets seeking
revenge on the Empire for a childhood raid. They
are relatively inexperienced commanders that
favor the standard horde tactics but still chosen by
Nurgle and Archaon to represent the Nurglite
force during the End Times.
Vilitch the Curseling – Bold Tzeentchi sorcerer
so down with betrayal, that he repeatedly tries to
do so with Archaon pre and post Everchosen –and
even tells Archaon he intends to do so. A twisted
fusion of a vengeful nerd with a now mindless
jock, Vilitch is the highest level spell caster and
formidable melee combatant. As a commander he
is very innovative but views everything at his
disposal as various levels of pawns and is subject
to unnecessary and counterproductive levels of
Tzeentchian scheming.
Sigvald the Magnificent – Vain and Huaghty
leader of the largest grouping of Slaaneshi
mortals! In combat, he is a hyper-skilled power
house, able to defeat opponents with his sword
place without even looking or paying attention to
him. However, as a commander he is entirely
whimsical and subject to doing such things as
killing his subordinates for looking too
ugly/beautiful, invading elven lands out of
jealousy for their hair, and other erratic things.
Egyl Stryjbjorn – Master Northmen duelist
Chieftain for Khorne. Fights with a pair of twin-
linked daemon axes and tries to hunt down worthy
champions of the field of battle. As a commander,
though ruthless with the lives of his men, he is
pretty brilliant as far as Chaos generals go.
Astragoth High Priest of Hashut – Highest
ranking member of the Chaos Dwarfs and aged
sorcerer of well over a thousand years. Though
barely mobile, he is pushed into battle on a
wheeled contraption and counts as a level four
sorcerer in the lore of Hashut. Given Chaos Dwarf
actions over the last millennia he seems more
cautious than most, believing in slow expansion
until the End Times forced him to move up his
plans.
Morghur the Corruptor – Morghur is a
gibbering, mad embodiment of chaotic
destruction. In the Kingdom Conquest tournament
he would likely continue this function, serving as
a powerful figure for the Beastmen to rally behind
and leading those forces in an unthinking mass of
destruction. His very presence will corrupt nature
in whatever province he is located in, his
immediate auras on the battlefield turning people
into monsters. He can self-resurrect after death,
though this takes time to do, with the shortest
possible period being many months.
Throgg the Troll King – The only intelligent
troll in Warhammer, who leads vast armies of
beasts into combat. While in combat he is just a
more durable than average troll, he is more
cunning with his battle plans, though that said he
is not exemplary. It is said that as he moves his
legions of monsters the land warps behind him
into a more wintry landscape that trolls thrive on.
Through the same said magic Throgg is able to
project his consciousness upon a single troll ta
time that he is leading, akin to Harbinger in Mass
Effect 2.
Zhatan the Black & Ghorth the Cruel – Chaos
Dwarf general and his Chaos Dwarf sorcerer
sponsor, both of whom scheme to supplant
Astragoth. Generally Zhatan carries a Warhammer
for combat, though he can take magical weapons.
He serves in combination with Ghorth the Cruel,
an extremely powerful wizard of the Lore of
Hashut (Level 4). Both are very ambitious and
able commanders and in the End Times they
broke the Great Bastion and took portions of
Cathay.
Lord Drazoath – Chaos Dwarf Lord of the
Infernal Legions and also marked by ambition. He
is a level 4 sorcerer in the Lore of Hashut, rides a
Bale Taurus known as Cinderbreath and carries an
artifact that grants some magical shielding. He is
another cautious, though able commander, willing
to be a little reckless if ambition motivates him.
Morathi – Scheming head sorceress of the Dark
Elves. She’s over 7000 years old, a master wizard
in the lores of Shadow, Dhar and Death and a
potent melee combatant whose magical glamor
and beauty aura makes her very difficult to kill.
She is not known for her battlefield excellence,
though she is a incredibly gifted manipulator, seer
and long term schemer.
Galruach- Giant Chaos Dragon of Tzeentch who
counts as a level 4 sorcerer and has two heads.
However, there is a chance one of these two heads
revolts in battle to fight the other, a chance
heightened by the presence of elves on the other
side.
Alkhor, Bane Of Athel Loren – A Nurgle
Daemon Prince known for being giggly and
bubbly even by his kind’s standards. He is a
master of Nurglite magic (Level 4, of the highest)
and a potent swordsdaemon. As a commander and
schemer he is excellent at manipulating his foes
and aims to slowly spread the rot among the
enemy and the surrounding lands before making
his move.
Carmac Bloodaxe- Norscan chieftain who rose to
daemonhood while fighting Sigmar himself. He is
known as a rather patient and strategic
commander among the Norscan Northmen.
N’Kari – An elite Keeper of Secrets with
knowledge in the lore of Slaanesh. Though a
master of manipulating the emotions of enemies,
N’Kari is nevertheless a whimsical commander
uninterested in tactics or strategy.
Ka’Bandha – Right hand of Khorne, is the lord of
the third tier of Bloodthirsters and leader of the
Blood Hunt. It is he that is assigned the task of
hunting the most high-profiled of Khorne’s
enemies, he that is tasked to bring the death of
legendary champions, kings, and great leaders. In
combat he is a powerhouse, able to withstand
multiple, mighty super heroes wailing on him for
a period of time without dying. As a commander,
he is a traditionalist who follows the ancient edicts
of the Blood Hunt, even those he doesn’t
personally like, to the letter.
Ku’Gath Plaguefather – Nurgle Great Unclean
One known as one of the most active of his ilk
and for hating dwarfs. Generally ebullient, the
sight of these stunted wretches can drive him to
great wrath. In combat he is a powerhouse capable
of hurling Nurglings as artillery at hundreds of
meters and is the highest level sorcerer in the lore
of the Plague. As a commander, he is pretty
average as far as daemons go, but with an almost
supernatural ability to lose to dwarfs.
Kairos Fateweaver – Elite Lord of Change
Greater Daemon, capable of seeing things even
his master cannot see, with two heads forever
viewing the past and future. However, he neglects
the present, which is why he is known for losing
duels with mortal heroes despite being the highest
level Tzeentch wizard. As a commander he is an
excellent scheme and strategist, but has difficulty
predicting the ebb and flow of real time battle.
Be’lakor- The Dark Master, the first ever
ascended to daemon princedom and he who was
cursed to. He is a master spell caster in several
different lores, can turn insubstantial at will, and
has weapons that ignore enemy armor entirely.
Admittedly, he is a rather brilliant and creative
schemer whose deeds significantly move the plot
along, but these schemes are always half
successes because Tzeentch hates him. Also
Be’lakor hates Archaon, won’t directly obey his
commands and likely to pursue separate goals.
The Sleeper – The Sleeper is a relic, a creature
from a bygone age before Man, Elves and Dwarfs,
before even the Lizardmen when a race of giant
insects ruled. The Sleeper is capable of
manipulating the emotions of beings across many
miles, driving them to despair, anger, or other
extreme emotions. At close range it can even
drive enemies to try to murder each other, as
shown below. Over time it can wear down the
mental resistance of enemies, filling their minds
with its own psychic essence and creating a hive
mind. The possessed individuals still have a
fragment of independent will and are capable of of
independent thought, however their thought
process is slower without the Sleeper’s psychic
direction.
The Nameless – Fifteen thousand year old
malevolent spirit formally named Constant
Drachenfels. Recently acquired amnesia and
became the Nameless. Now it is capable of mass
possession depending on willpower (over 10,000
zombies at once or a couple hundred humans) and
is known for its love of torture.
Prior to his memory loss he was a master
daemonologist (capable of dispelling demonic
hordes and possibly even controlling greater
daemons) and master necromancer. Though he is
less adept at battle magic, he can still shoot
lightning, cause explosions and more. Any he
consumes he can gain knowledge from and over
the years he has acquired knowledge of surgery,
theology, all known languages, and indeed most
subjects of science!
Other than maybe some very crude palisades,
Chaos does not utilize static base defenses.
Instead, they use Chaos corruption as a base
defense, which poisons the land around them and
heavy enough corruption allows them to build
magical fortresses which have ‘impossible angles’
and made of ‘infeasible building materials’. The
moat is filled with lava or boiling blood, the
courtyard houses pits containing monstrous beasts
or the like with all these features surrounding a
tower containing a brooding Chaos lord.
However, high level chaos corruption is required
for these fortifications to exist and without that,
they flop.
Morale: Up to 95/100
Army Intimidation: 73/100
(If Daemons are Present 87/100)
Discipline: 39/100
Cohesion: 39/100
Espionage: 72/100
Logistics: 67/100
Blockade: 73/100:
Aggression: 91/100
Reinforcement Rate: High (Daemons themselves
are variable, Beastmen are Very High).
Daemons are not counted towards the initial
reinforcement rate of Chaos, courtesy of how they
require copious amounts of winds of magic to
bring into being. Instead they require sacrifice,
ritual and corrupted lands to bring them into real
space. If Chaos can do all of that in large
quantities, then large and powerful daemons can
be brought in along with swarms of lesser ones. If
not, then daemonic reinforcement will be few.
MAGIC
Note that magic in the Warhammer world is a bit
different from most fantasy worlds. Magic comes
from the invisible Chaos Winds of Magic, blown
from the origin of the two great poles. It waxes
and wanes at random, and is so overwhelmingly
powerful to be difficult to contain for long, if at
all. Wizards can have some pent up magical
energy in them, but it is very minute compared to
most of the spells they would cast.
Wizards are very rare and prized individuals who
take a significant portion of their lifetime learning
to see and sense the Winds, catch the ones that
blow in strongest favor for the type of magic they
wish to use, and then channel it properly. The
bigger and more difficult the spell, the more
magical energy needed to invest in it. And the
more a wizard tries to gather and summon, the
greater the risk for catastrophe. When wizards cast
magic, the potency of the energy leaves them at
risk ranging from mere unconsciousness to a
miscast of the spell activing on themselves,
Daemonic possession, and exploding into magical
aether.
The Lore of Nurgle allows a caster to perform
anything from vomiting a toxic breath of magical,
rotten disease to fill a house, to making it rain
such a substance to cover a portion of a
battlefield. Most of the time, Daemons, or very
dedicated followers of Nurgle find these effects
refreshing, if not healing. Some potent spells can
be cast onto a single, targeted heroic individual
from across the battlefield, gifting them in
horrifying, magical diseases, and others can infuse
mundane weapons of an ally with toxic plagues
and flesh-melting poison for a short time.
The Lore of Slaanesh grants a wizard the ability
to inflict pain and torture on the foe, or increase
supernatural capacity of allies. Slaaneshi magic is
extremely reliant on willpower, with those of
weak will falling in droves while the strongest
wills are all but immune to the powers of his
followers. They can summon supremely long
whips of energy to lash with, or cause a single
entity to rapidly grow fat and sinew to the point
they are crushed or suffocated. Senses of an entire
group of enemies can be warped and twisted, or
causing them to bust into uncontrollable laughter
or other extreme emotions.
The Lore of Tzeentch works to give users the
ability to twist and change themselves, allies, or
enemies, gaze into the future and manipulate it, or
play with the mind. Most common are spouting
baleful flames that warp and consume the physical
objects touched to convulse, liquefy, or mutate.
Magical shields can be raised to randomly change
the nature of an enemy’s attack, like a hailstorm
of arrows into flowers, protecting allies. The best
spells allow momentary possession of an enemy’s
mind, or influence a whole group of a hundred
foes to turn on each other and fight their allies.
The Lore of Hashut has a lot to do with hatred,
power, and fire. Casters can tun into a pool of
magma and teleport by reappearing somewhere
from the ground. Fires and lava can emerge from
the ground, or wrack the skies with entire clouds
of ash or even make it rain lava!
Wherever Chaos travels and spreads, Chaos
corruption of the surrounding region is also
corrupted, made most potent near the Gate or area
of entry, and weakening as it extends outward.
In areas of heavy concentration of Chaos
corruption, the Winds of Magic blow stronger for
all Warhammer factions to utilize. The land twists
and warps and ignores the laws of physics.
Weather can become unpredictable and suddenly
disastrous, acid rains upward, gravity spirals in
shifting directions, and Chaos Daemons rule with
the best power. Here, magical spells can be
summoned more frequently and mere mortals are
consumed, if not usually driven to madness.
Beyond the direct reach of Chaos corruption,
within several miles of the strongest areas, the
land still twitches with ebbs of flowing magic and
corruption. Babies are born with strange
mutations, Daemons can be spawned, people go
mad in higher numbers, violence outbreaks more
frequently, and fight in flickering state of
existence, and the land, and its climate begins to
vomit and become upset.
At the furthest touches, strange winds blow, the
Winds of Magic still howl but blow with
infrequent strength, and Chaos Daemons can
barely hold onto their existence. In this area and
beyond, Chaos depends more heavily on its
physical forces like Beastmen and Chaos Warriors
and their champions to go out, invade, and spread
the corruption, if not create it independently. As
such, the strength of Chaos depends on where it’s
gone. However, Chaos corruption can be opened
unnaturally in a stable area by opening portals,
massed sacrifice, and other devices and plots by
the scheming, more physical heroes of Chaos.
Starting cults and inciting guerrilla fighting
among these cults in the natives of otherwise more
peaceful lands is a favored tactic of spreading
Chaos corruption. Individuals that become
corrupted do so by choice, often to end pain,
suffering, or aspire to something, and ideally
there’s no going back. Their soul is given wholly
over to the Chaos god(s).
Overall, Chaos will start from their entry point with a magically corrupted region stretching at least a few
miles, steeped in Chaos. The land will be churning and molten, magical fortresses will appear, and
Daemons will stalk the land. The strength of Chaos magic and sustained area for Daemons to rule needs
to spread.

As they conquer a city or area, a massacre of innocent blood is sacrificed to open up portals for Daemons
to emerge, bringing toxic emanations of warping Chaos with them. Pockets of such areas can grow and
eventually bleed together. Chaos wins when they drive out their enemies, destroy them utterly, or putrefy
the entirety of the region in twisted Chaos. This means a strong-willed and resisting enemy will
eventually have their starting base surrounded, and most of the entire region is filled with untold number
of Daemons, the sky is convulsing, the mountains are alive, and streams and rivers are boiling blood, and
roads are weeping sores or lined with giant tentacles and maws.

In order to achieve this goal, Chaos sends their mortal forces, the Beastmen, Northmen, Chaos Dwarves,
and Chaos Warriors (about in that order) out into less or untainted lands, Beastmen being pushed like
cannon fodder to wither, break, and weaken an enemy of resources.

To defeat Chaos means the magically warped area has to be pushed back, resisted, held into reality, and
driven out. Victories can help destroy secondary Chaos gates, whisking away all the Daemons there back
into the Realm of Chaos.

Chaos holds nothing back for moral reasons. Any and every atrocity is on the table, there is nothing they
are totally unwilling to do. As times goes on and the enemy becomes more difficult they might try to
utilize a super spell, such as opening a long term portal to the Realm of Chaos or turning all livestock
across the province into Beastmen. Archaon will learn from the weakness of the enemy, both in their
army and personality, and try to place upon those weaknesses. That said, Chaos as a force lacks any ultra-
rare technology to deploy and, since they unleash everything from the beginning, magical adaptions.
