* The game gives every playable Warriors of Chaos faction its own campaign price for 57 of these units (main_unit_faction_overrides). Hover the number for the main_units price, which other factions pay; the unit page lists both.

Extended roster: 53 of these units the race fields only through campaign_exclusive rows (units_custom_battle_permissions) — Custom Battle with Unit caps off, never in ranked battles. The race's rankings and best-unit lists leave them out.

Every eight generations, when the malevolent moon Morrslieb waxes full in front of its benign cousin Mannslieb, a terrible storm rages through the crevasses and chasms of the World's Edge Mountains. Jagged ridges are silhouetted like the broken teeth of some titanic beast as lightning flashes and thunder roars. Before a great chasm that splits the mountains like a gigantic axe wound, hundreds upon hundreds of Northmen kneel in the pelting hail and snow, chanting sonorously as their captives are sacrificed and hurled bodily into a cavernous lair. Then, as the storm reaches its terrible climax, a terror from prehistory bursts forth with a roar that shakes the roots of the peaks themselves – Kholek Suneater awakes, and all the world trembles at his wrath.

Archaon is the Everchosen, the Lord of the End Times, the vessel through which the Dark Gods will unite their followers and turn the whole world into a Realm of Chaos. The man who was to become Archaon was once a devout Templar Priest of Sigmar, pure in heart and deed. The Priest uncovered a set of heretical manuscripts transcribed by one of the acolytes of the infamous Necrodomo the Insane, a prophet who tore out his own eyes after having a vision of the destruction of the world at the hands of Chaos. What Archaon learned from these texts is unknown, but legend has it that he uncovered a terrible truth which drove him into a screaming rage. Rejecting the gods of the Empire, he burned down the temple around him and raged amongst the flames. He renounced his own name and swore he would not only give himself body and soul to Chaos, but also forge a new life as the scourge of the deluded fools who worship the Empire’s false gods.

Though he appears to be little more than sixteen summers of age, Sigvald the Magnificent has blighted the world for over three hundred years. The personification of beauty on the outside, but rot within, Sigvald rides at the head of an army of utterly devoted followers who would give their lives for him without a second thought. Any who the Prince deems to be ugly, crude or irritating he has put to the sword, for he is the chosen scion of Slaanesh, the Chaos God of excess, luxurious passions and sensual indulgence, but also of cruel torments and despairing agony.

Warriors of Chaos mechanics

In-game description ▾

Chaos Warriors are mortals who have left their natural way of life and chosen to dedicate themselves to a Chaos God in order to gain their favour, with the ultimate goal of Daemonhood and eternal life. They are the chosen servants of Chaos who live for nothing more than spreading terror and death to those weaker than themselves, gathering about them northern tribes of vicious marauders, desperate to despoil the lands of milk and honey to the south.

And so from the icy fjords of Norsca and the blasted Chaos Wastes beyond, the innumerable armies of Chaos surge southward, either raiding across the icy seas in longships or marching inland to wreak crimson destruction upon the cities and strongholds of the Old World.

Campaign

Establish Dark Fortresses to vassalise and recruit followers of Chaos to the warbands, upgrading them into more powerful units. God-aligned gifts can be purchased to strengthen your faction a variety of ways.

Battle

The Warriors of Chaos field rank upon rank of elite infantry, clad head to toe in plate armour. Pinning the foe in melee, they can then deliver brutal charges with their heavy cavalry and monstrous units.
