![]() It is said that for every Chaos Warrior that lies dead in the ground, a circle of his enemies will also lie around him as a sign or testament to their ruthless skills in combat. The thrusts of spear and halberd are deflected contemptuously, and the lifeblood of his foes spatters his armour as his jagged blade rises and falls. Arrows and bolts patter from his hell-forged armour like hailstones upon a glacier as he strides into the enemy ranks. Ĭhaos Warriors generally congregate around others of their kind, often in warbands consisting entirely of Chaos Warriors who are sent into the thickest fray as powerful elite warriors. When roused to battle, a Chaos Warrior becomes a roaring, unstoppable force. To be a Chaos Warrior means to literally exchange your Humanity for a life of constant war in the name of the Ruinous Powers and the dark promises of power and immortality they have to offer. A Chaos Warrior has no need of food, drink or sleep, for he is nourished by the carnage that he wreaks. ![]() Ĭhaos Warriors are no longer truly Human, but living weapons, honed perfectly for the bloody tasks before them. Imbued with the power of Chaos and gifted with suits of daemon-plate, a Chaos Warrior is equal to several battle-hardened mortal Men. Their strength is infernal and their bodies are as tough as the Iron Mountains. Ĭhaos Warriors are fighters of great prowess, raised from strong Northmen stock, their skills honed over the years by constant battle amongst themselves and against other races. Such gifted Men are said to tread the path of the gods, and head in search of glory, power and, ultimately immortality. Only the most gifted and powerful warriors are allowed to wear such armour, with the majority of Champions often donning armour of their own. In the hierarchy of Northmen armies, Chaos Armour is often used as a clear sign of status or rank. Within tribal societies that worship the Chaos Gods, the most favoured warriors are often gifted with a suit of hell-forged armour as a reward for their service to their chieftain. The Reaver Knights of Ulthuan encounter the Warriors of Chaos. Within moments, a dozen brave Asur had been carved to bloody ruin, their elegant scale mail scant protection against the terrible power of the Chaos Warriors." Against these relentless slayers, the Elves were little match. Every Chaos Warrior was a purebred killer, his strength and capacity for slaughter augmented beyond mortal ken by the unholy blessings of the Dark Gods. " Yet despite the momentum of their attack, the Elves were soon hard-pressed. ![]() Many, but not all, come from the ranks of the tribes of the Northmen that inhabit the Chaos Wastes and Norsca in the northern regions of the Old World. If you come up against them, defend yourself as a first priority, and hope one of your mates can get behind him with a mace or a warhammer or something - because it's true, that armour is damnably strong too."Ī Chaos Warrior who has forsaken his soul for a chance at achieving ultimate power.Ī Chaos Warrior is one of a select group of evil Men who have chosen to forsake their former lives and give themselves wholly to the service of Chaos to become instruments of ultimate destruction. some of them have pacts or gifts from the Ruinous Powers that mean they live for hundreds of years, if they remain undefeated on the field of battle. Oh, the Bretonnian knights have been trained since they were children, but they don't have the sheer depth of experience that even the younger Chaos Warriors do. They've been fighting since they were born - fighting, mind you, not just practicing, and often to the death. It's their sheer skill at war that wins them their battles though. People talk about the strength of their armour, or the ferocity of the Blood God's worshippers, or the intimidating look of the horns and the spikes. That's what you have to remember about them.
