Chaos Warriors

Chaos Warriors are those who have abandoned the normal world and thrown in their lot with Chaos. They have chosen a life of bloodshed, destruction, and adventure. In return for the chance to gain the favour of one of the fickle Chaos Gods. Many are brigands, outcasts, criminals, madmen, and malcontents, seeking protection and a place to belong. But not all come from the dregs of society: they also include deposed nobles, young fortune-hunters, and those that have been driven out of their homes by poverty and war.

Chaos Warriors fight in the warbands of Chaos Champions. Every Chaos Warrior hopes to be chosen by one of the Chaos Gods to be a Champion. Chaos Warriors are powerful fighters and skilled Warriors.

Chaos Champions

When a Chaos Warrior is noticed for his excellent service by one of the Chaos Gods, he may be chosen as a Chaos Champion. Champions have the special attention of their God and the Mark of Chaos that brands them as his servant.

Chaos Champions include: Champions, Heros, and Lords, and any reference to Chaos Champions will also apply to Champions, Heros, and Lords.

Chaos Champions are characters and may be bought Chaos Rewards and/or magic items when you select your army (Champion - 1, Hero - 2, Lord - 3).

Chaos Sorcerers are also Champions of their God, and they recieve the Mark of their God and Rewards from their Chaos God. The ultimate reward they stride for is immortality.

No Wizard of a lower magic level (apart from Nurgle Sorcerers) within 6" of a Nurgle Sorcerer may cast spells, this does not affect spells cast from magic items. In addition, at the sart of the magic phase, any spell that remains in play within the 6" radius around the Nurgle Sorcerer may be dispelled on 4+ on a d6.

Slaanesh - Radiance of Charm, No foes will cast spells at him or shoot at him with missile weapons if they are within 12" of him. This even affects spells cast from magic items, and does prevent spells being used against a unit if doing so would strike or otherwise affect the Sorcerer, it does not prevent an enemy shooting at a unit the Sorcerer is with using bows or other missile weapons.

Chaos Beastmen

Spells: Shaman - 1; Shaman Champion - 2; Master Shaman - 3; Shaman Lord - 4. A Beastmen Shaman may take spells from any of the three Chaos spell decks and the Dark Magic deck, he does not have to restrict his Chaos spells to a single Chaos God like a Chaos Sorcerer does.

The Troll's slime has no effect on hits from shooting.
