Chaos Warriors come alive in the midst of bloody battle; thriving on the slaughter of similar foes.

Chaos Warriors are a Warhost of the Apocalypse Warriors of Chaos melee infantry unit introduced in Total War: Warhammer with the Chaos Warriors Race Pack.

Recruitment[ | ]

WH1 & WH2[ | ]

Description[ | ]

Answering the call of Chaos, many a great fighter has journeyed to the frozen north to throw in their lot with the hordes that muster in the Wastes. They do so because they feel a deep connection with the Ruinous Powers, evident by some form of corruption affecting the minds, bodies, or both. Once pledged, they have no need of food, drink or sleep, for they are nourished by the carnage they wreak. They have nothing but contempt for the weak and the cowardly and go about the business of murder with a vengeance, for there is always a part of the warrior who was that rages against the Chaos Warrior he has become.

Strategy[ | ]

Chaos Warriors are the main line infantry for Chaos and they are a cut above most standard infantry units. The only basic infantry unit that could best them might be Saurus Warriors. This unit has solid melee stats, great armour, and a silver shield. Their downsides are that they are slow and do not have the most armour piercing. That being said their armour piercing is not bad, so beware Chaos Warriors if you do not have armour piercing or strong melee stats to fight back.
