Chaos Armour Rare 8*/Cost: 100 gc
Chaos Armour is a gift given to the chosen champions of chaos. It is not forged as is other armour but grows from the body of the wearer, melding with any armour they are already wearing.
SPECIAL RULES
Chaos Armour has a 4+ armour save and wizards can cast spells while wearing it.
Chaos Armour may not be removed in any way (so cannot be traded or stolen).
The cost and difficulty cannot be reduced from skills and the cost must be paid even if the roll to find it fails, however if the warband won their last battle the difficulty for finding Chaos Armour is reduced by 2 (so its a rare 6 instead of 8).
Javelin Common/Cost 10 gc
A javelin is a small throwing spear that can be used effectively at longer distances than normal thrown weapons. It is the favored weapon of many Marauders.
Range: 8”; Strength: As User; Special Rules: Thrown Weapon
SPECIAL RULES
Thrown Weapon: A javelin is a thrown weapon and so does not receive a –1 penalty for moving and shooting.
*Heroes Only
______________________________________________________________________________________
CHAOS SPECIAL RULES
Marks of Chaos: When the Aspiring Champion is purchased he has the Mark of Chaos Undivided, which allows him to re-roll all failed Leadership Checks (not Rout Tests). The Aspiring Champion may immediately exchange this for the Mark of Tzeentch, Khorne, Nurgle or Slaanesh, gaining those benefits instead. If the Warband Leader has a Mark other than Chaos Undivided, then he can only have Daemons of the god of the same Mark. Furthermore other warriors that receive a Mark of Chaos may also only take the same Mark. However, if the Leader has the Mark of Chaos Undivided, other warriors in the warband may choose any Mark, and even different Marks, when they gain the appropriate skill.
Mark of Chaos Undivided: The Warrior can re-roll all failed Leadership tests (not Rout Checks).
Mark of Tzeentch: The Warrior is a Wizard and follows the rules for a Wizard. He may immediately gain 1 spell from the Tzeentch spell list in the normal way.
Mark of Khorne: The model is subject to frenzy and has a save vs. magic of 4+ on a D6.
Mark of Nurgle: The model causes fear has +1 Wound and his attacks are made as though he is using Black Lotus.
Mark of Slaanesh: The model is immune to Psychology, attacks in Initiative order when charged and, if on the Leader may re-roll the first failed Rout Test.

Heroes
1 Aspiring Champion
80 gold crowns to hire
Amongst the Northmen there are those that feel the pull of Chaos stronger than others. These fierce warriors are said to tread the path of the gods and form warbands to conquer in the name of their Dark masters. They are watched by the gods because of their power and leadership as that is all that really matters in their society.
Profile | M | WS | BS | S | T | W | I | A | Ld |
| | 4 | 6 | 3 | 4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 2 | 8 |
Weapons and armour: The Aspiring Champion may be equipped from the Chaos Warrior equipment list.
SPECIAL RULES
Leader: The Aspiring Champion is the Warband’s Leader and follows all the rules for Leaders.
Mark of Chaos: The Aspiring Champion may choose to trade the Mark of Chaos Undivided for a Mark of Tzeentch, Khorne, Nurgle or Slaanesh (see Special Rules for Marks).
Captain’s Share: The Aspiring Champion lives in relative luxury compared to most when traveling. His tent is large enough to plan assaults and his cut of the food and spoils is more that a common warrior. He therefore counts as two warriors when determining the maximum number allowed in the warband.
Skilled Veteran: The Aspiring Champion may choose one skill from those on his table.
0 – 3 Chosen
45 gold crowns to hire
Chaos society is a savage hierarchy where only the toughest survive and only the strongest and meanest rise though the ranks (often atop the bodies of other challengers). Those strong enough to be to rise to such esteem are called chosen for they must be chosen by the Dark gods themselves to have such power. Some are selected as warriors but a few are instead called upon to be mighty Sorcerers that can weild the winds of Chaos by sheer force of will.
Profile | M | WS | BS | S | T | W | I | A | Ld |
| | 4 | 5 | 3 | 4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 | 7 |
Weapons and armour: Chosen may be equipped from the Chaos Warrior equipment list.
SPECIAL RULES
Chaos Sorcerer: If the Aspiring Champion has a Mark of Chaos Undivided, Nurgle or Slaanesh then a single Chosen may instead be purchased as a Chaos Sorcerer of the same Mark.
Profile | M | WS | BS | S | T | W | I | A | Ld |
| Sorcerer | 4 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 1 | 4 | 1 | 7 |
SPECIAL RULES
Wizard: A Chaos Sorcerer is a Wizard. He may choose his spells from the list of the appropriate Mark (Undivided uses Chaos Magic from the Mordheim Rulebook).
Mark of Chaos: When purchased the Sorcerer must have the same mark as the Aspiring Champion. A Sorcerer may never have the Mark of Tzeentch or Khorne.

Henchmen
Chaos Warriors
40 gold crowns to hire
Warriors of Chaos are awesome fighters, raised from strong Northman stock, they hone their skills by constantly battling amongst themselves and with other races. These fierce and brutal warriors are held in fear and awe by the other tribesmen as well as their enemies. Every Warriors dream is to stand out and become a chosen of the Dark Gods.

Chosen: If a Chaos Warrior rolls the Lads got Talent he uses the Racial Maximums for a Chosen.
Marauders
25 gold crowns to hire
Marauder tribes are the very foundation of chaos armies so it is no surprise that these warriors accompany Aspiring Champions on raids into Empire territory. They want nothing more than to prove themselves worthy to be chosen by the Dark Gods and take their place among the Warriors of Chaos.
Profile | M | WS | BS | S | T | W | I | A | Ld |
| | 4 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 1 | 3 | 1 | 6 |

25 gold crowns to hire
Marauders raise and train the deadly Warhounds of Chaos for hunting and sport. They have been changed by the warping affects of chaos that wracks the lands to the north, making them ferocious beast that are more than the dogs or even wolves that they have been bred from.
Profile | M | WS | BS | S | T | W | I | A | Ld |
| | 7 | 4 | 0 | 3 | 3 | 1 | 3 | 1 | 5 |
Weapons and armour: None. Warhounds of Chaos never use items or equipment.
SPECIAL RULES
Animals: Warhounds are animals and so cannot carry anything (such as wyrdstone, treasure etc.). Furthermore Warhounds of Chaos do not gain experience
Live in Kennels: Warhounds do not eat as much food or take up as much space as other warriors. A warhound therefore only counts as ½ a warrior when determining the maximum allowed in the warband.
Slavering Charge: Warhounds strike swiftly and viciously. Warhounds get +1 attack during the turn they charge.
0 – 3 Daemons
50 gold crowns to hire
The Dark Gods sometimes favor their Champions with daemonic warriors to fight for them and the glory of the gods they serve. Given form from the winds of chaos themselves their combat prowess is unmatched by mortal troops.
You may only hire the Daemons of the god who’s mark your Aspiring Champion has. If he wears the Mark of Chaos Undivided he may have Daemons from any of the Dark Gods. All Daemons follow the Daemonic Special Rules below in addition to their own Special Rules.
DAEMONIC SPECIAL RULES:
Fear: Daemons are terrifying creatures and therefore cause fear.
Immune to Psychology: Daemons have no fear of death or pain and obey without question. They are immune to Psychology.
Demonic Aura: All Daemons are protected by a magic aura that gives them a 5+ save against wounds. This save is not modified by strength but does not work against any form of magical attack (spells or weapons).
Daemonic Attacks: Daemons are magical creatures by nature and therefore any attack made by a daemon is considered to be magical.
Summoned: Daemons are summoned to battle and return to the winds of magic after. Once they are purchased they will continue to serve its mortal masters unless banished. This means that Daemons roll for injury as normal. Furthermore Daemons do not learn from their mistakes. Daemons do not gain experience.
Equipment: Daemons cannot be given any equipment that they do not start with and use none unless indicated.

Mark of Chaos: The Warrior wears the symbol of a god and has gained favor for it. The warrior may choose to take the Mark of Tzeentch, Khorne, Nurgle, Slaanesh or Chaos Undivided. A warrior can only have a single mark and can never change it (see special rules for Marks of Chaos). If the Leader has a Mark other than Chaos Undivided, any hero gaining this skill must gain the same Mark.
Mutation: The Hero is blessed by the Chaos Gods and gains one mutation at random. A Hero with 1-2 mutations counts as only a single member of your warband. If a Hero has 3+ mutations he counts as 2 warriors toward the maximum allowed (this is different for the Possessed, see his rules above).
When rolling for mutations, re-roll ONLY if you roll a Tentacle or Great Claw and do not have enough arms to support them. The Dark gods are sometimes fickle, as such, do NOT re-roll if you get a mutation you already have (hideous, cloven hoofs, spines, etc.), the model just gains no additional benefit.
Roll 2D6:
2 Colorful Skin: the warrior’s skin changes to a bright rainbow color (no effect in the game).
