Eric Sarlin has substituted emaciated Slaaneshi

Cultists for Chaos Marauders in his warband.

Gormann Festerheart drives

his warband before him.

Like many Chaos players who take a look

through these rules for the first time Dave

Taylor thought his army could provide

every model he would need to build a

warband. After rolling up his warband

Dave discovered he would need to add

a few more. Grabbing his trusty clippers,

modelling putty, and bits box, he

converted the new leader of his warband,

Gormann Festerheart (the bloated Warrior

pictured with the enormous Great Axe).

A couple more converted Warriors (one

with a great weapon and one with a flail)

and a Beastman and the warband was

ready to roll.

Dave has added Gormann Festerheart to

his army as an Aspiring Champion, and is

currently working on a unit of Chaos

Warriors with great weapons. Perhaps

they’ll even be Chosen...(insert evil

laughter here.)

Gormann Festerheart’s warband has joined

the horde of Hak’flemm Pox.

Favour Points represent how much attention your Aspiring Champion is attracting

from the gods of Chaos. The more battles he fights and mighty deeds that he and

his warband perform, the more attention he will attract. This correlates in game

terms in two ways. Firstly, Favour Points can be used to ‘buy’ new followers.

They are not so much mercenaries receiving payment from your Aspiring

Champion, but are the followers that are becoming attracted to the Champion’s

warband as his fame spreads. The second way that Favour Points are represented

is to reflect the number of gifts that the Gods may boon upon the Champion.

In the next section of this booklet we will be explaining how to gain additional

Favour Points.

You begin the game with 35 Favour Points with which to attract followers.

Every warband is led by a Champion of Chaos for free, and starts with the

following profile:

MWSBS S T W I A d

Champion 45344 2 6 2 8

Equipment: Chaos armour, hand weapon plus a choice of any two items from

Equipment Table 1. May be given a barded Chaos Steed for 4 Favour Points.

Choose which Chaos god the Champion

will follow: he can choose to worship

Khorne, Tzeentch, Nurgle or Slaanesh.

Alternatively, he may choose to worship

all the Gods equally and is said to follow

Chaos Undivided. Before any game, a

Champion of Chaos Undivided may

choose to align himself with one of the

four Greater Powers, or a Champion

who is already worshipping a single

God may choose to worship Chaos

Undivided. Champions may only ever

make one such transition, however (this

could incite the rage of the God they

follow, which is not a wise thing to do!)

There are two tables of followers. The

first table consists of the more common

Chaos followers, the second more rare

and more dangerous creatures. It costs

1 Favour Point to roll on the first table,

and 2 for the second. Remember to keep

a tally of how much Favour you have

spent. The dice roll determines what

creatures/followers have approached

your Champion and become available.

If you choose, you can then spend the

Favour Points necessary to recruit the

follower/s as listed in the Favour Points

per model column. On the other hand,

if you cannot afford or do not wish to

recruit the follower/s that you have

rolled, you do not have to. For example,

if you roll a 6 (Marauders) and then roll

a 3 (resulting in 3 Marauders) you may

choose to recruit none, 1, 2 or 3 of them

Roll immediately on Table 2 overleaf. You may recruit what you roll at the

Favour Points indicated.

*Note that only one roll for equipment is made and all the warriors are armed

with the same weapon. For example, if you recruit four Marauders on one roll,

then only one roll on the Equipment Table is made.

as you like. If you choose not to recruit

any, those Favour Points that were spent

to roll on the table are lost, however,

and you must spend more points if you

wish to roll again on the table.

In addition, you may alter the number

you roll on the dice by one in exchange

for a further Favour Point.

For example, if you rolled a 11, resulting

in Beastmen, you could spend 2 further

Favour Points to alter the dice number

to 9 so that you could ‘purchase’ a

Chaos Warrior. In this way, you could

spend your points on recruiting anyone

you come across, or spend extra points

to choose who you really want.

Most followers attracted to a warband

will bring along some

of their own equipment.

The equipment that they start with

cannot be swapped — they will not

give up their equipment and will

always keep their starting equipment,

though they can be given additional

items as the warband progresses.

Before each game, organise your followers into small units. Units must have a Unit

Strength of at least 3 if possible, and can only form into units with other models of

the same type (so Warriors of Chaos can never join with Chosen Warriors of Chaos

to form a single unit). For example, if you have 6 Marauders, then you could form

them into two units of 3, or one unit of 6. If you had 4 Marauders, they must form

into one unit. If you had only 2 Marauders, then they form into a unit of 2.

Models on foot always skirmish, while cavalry or models on 40mm bases or larger,

form into regular units.

Champions of Chaos and Sorcerers act as independent characters, so may join any

unit freely.

Play games with your warband using all the normal rules for Warhammer —

combat resolution, Panic tests, fleeing and pursuit etc. We found that tables about

4' by 4' were a perfect size, with quite a lot of scenery scattered around.

(Additional rolls can be ‘purchased’

for 2 Favour Points, re-rolling

if ‘Nothing’ is rolled.)

3-4 Additional hand weapon

So there you have it — having

followed the steps above, you should

have a newly formed Chaos warband

ready to take on other warbands in an

effort to gain the attentions of the

Gods. On the following page is

Anthony Reynold’s Chaos warband

(go Slaanesh!) that I rolled up and

have started playing some games with

against other Studio members.

Try playing a few games with your

new warband before moving onto the

next section which introduces rules

for advancement. With these rules you

can see your Champion become more

powerful as he gains the attention of

the gods of Chaos. Good luck, may

the Dark Gods smile on your

warband, and happy bloodletting!

going to worship Slaanesh. I was

inspired by the ’Eavy Metal Slaanesh

army, which just looks so cool with its

contrast of black armour and pale skin

(though I was sorely tempted by the

foulness of Nurgle, mainly because of the

modelling possibilites). Having settled on

Slaanesh, I immediately started

converting and painting a Champion.

It was only once I got that model finished

that I rolled for my warband, and got a

nice mix of troops, though I didn’t get

any big monstrous creatures. Oh well,

I could always recruit one later on

(see the following section to see how you

can make your warband grow). Already

having a Chaos army of my own, it was a

simple matter of picking the models to fit

what I had rolled up. In between games,

I have started to go back to these models

and add extra detail to them, repainting

parts of them to make them look more

like devotees of Slaanesh. In battle,

I arrange the Chosen of Chaos with the

two Warriors, and the three Beastmen

together. The two Marauder Horsemen

also form into a unit together (they have

to in order to get Unit Strength 3). The

Knight works on his own. My Champion

starts on his own, and joins either the

Beastmen or the Warriors, depending

on where he is needed most.

Anthony Reynolds’ warband is set all and ready for some serious action.
