The Shadow of Chaos
GETTING STARTED WITH THE HORDES OF CHAOS - BUILDING A CORE ARMY


Page: 1|2|3|4|5|6|7

Each of the varied Warhammer races has a certain set of units around which the rest of the army is built. These units are commonly referred to as the "core" of an army. The core of the army generally represents a solid block of Core choices from the army book along with the army general, army standard, and perhaps a sorcerer or hero. Every time the army marches to war, this "core army" is inevitably present. Presented below is what a mortal Undivided Chaos "core army," without any Magic Items, generally consists of. If you're interested in seeing how these lists can be made to reflect the Four Powers of Chaos, be sure to check out the Tzeentch, Khorne, Slaanesh, and Nurgle core army pages.
