Part 6- Chaos
Who: Everyone. Chaos is the enemy of all living (and unliving!) creatures of the Warhammer World, including themselves. Chaos are truly the enemies of civilization.
Why: Chaos can be separated into two groups: Those that follow one of the four Gods of Chaos, and those who follow Chaos Undivided.
1. Followers of the Gods. The followers of the Gods of Chaos have one goal only: to achieve Daemonhood by doing their god's will. They care nothing for the politics, rivalries or morals of the world around them.
* Followers of Khorne live only to kill and take skulls. Whether they be Elf, Dwarf, Human, Orc or other Chaos skulls, Khorne cares not. Blood for the Blood God!
* The followers of Nurgle want nothing more but to rot everyone and everything possible. Spreading decay, disease and rot throughout the world is their god's command.
* The followers of Tzeentch are set on changing and mutating the world around them into the twisted, disturbing vision of their god.
* Finally the followers of Slaanesh are obsessed with seduction and corruption. Pain, pleasure, submission, and eventually domination are the tools of these followers.
Naturally any force that cares only to slay, rot, mutate or corrupt a society will have many enemies and sadly, many followers.
2. The followers of Chaos Undivided follow no one god, but worship Chaos itself. Their devotion is pure and unquestioning. It is ironic that the Champions of Chaos Undivided are by far the most dangerous of the lot. They are not melee killing machines (Khorne), horrifying to gaze upon (Nurgle),magic users of limitless power (Tzeentch ) or seductive beyond all sanity (Slaanesh). They do have one ability, however, that sets them apart. They have the power and respect to unite all powers of Chaos under one banner. Hordes of warriors of all the Chaos Gods often flock to the banner of a Lord Undivided. The vast majority of the great Chaos Invasions are led by these Lords. It is they who seek to destroy the world of Men, Elves, Dwarfs and indeed all races.
The forces of Chaos are limitless in number and the most dangerous threat to the Warhammer World. Every race is affected by them, there are no exceptions. Whether it is by invasion, cult worship or mutation, no one is safe from Chaos and its followers in the Warhammer World.

BEASTS OF CHAOS
"Horn and hoof, power is there."
Deep within the dark heart of the most twisted and dangerous forests of the Old World dwell the countless hordes of the Beastmen, true children of Chaos. Preying on the weak and striking without warning, the Beastmen are a plague on the civilised world.
The Beasts of Chaos is a varied army with some powerful (and disturbing) units at their disposal. With fearsome abilities in close combat and few missile troops, the goal of every Beasts of Chaos army is to close quickly with the enemy.

HORDES OF CHAOS
"Fear Me Mortals, For I Am The Annointed."
From the magic-swept lands of the far north come the conquering legions of Chaos and the immortal Chaos Daemons. Raised in battle, these great warriors fight for glory and the favor of their mighty gods. Immortality and everlasting power are the rewards for those who are strong, mutation and madness await the weak-willed and foolish.
There are many variations and types of Chaos armies, but rest assured, none of them are friendly. Attack and devastation are always key ingredients for all the Chaos powers.
