Description[ | ]
There are those amongst the ranks of the Chaos Warriors who bear the favour of the Dark Gods more than their fellows. Known amongst their kind as 'Chosen', their frames are swollen with unholy power and gifts bestowed on them by the Dark Gods in recognition of the many fell deeds they have committed. These gifts are as varied as any other aspect of Chaos, but most mutations tend to be useful as weapons that aid the quest to inflict devastation on the civilised realms of the world. Even if a Chosen bears no such stigmata, it is clear that he carries the grace of the Dark Gods from his aura of dark menace.
Attributes[ | ]
- Great Axe Infantry
- ▲ Armoured: Armoured units can block damage from any source apart from Armour-Piercing damage.
- ▲ Armour-Piercing: The damage of armour-piercing weapons mostly ignores the armour of the target, making them the ideal choice against heavily-armoured enemies. They are often heavier and attack at a slower rate though, making them less efficient against poorly-armoured targets.

Chosen (Great Weapons) are a very expensive elite infantry unit. They have a high HP pool and deal large amounts of armour piercing damage. They will beat most armoured infantry in the game, beating non-AP infantry such as Longbeards or Grave Guard and take little damage in return. If you are facing Chosen (Great Weapons) use armour piercing ranged attacks to weaken them from a distance or use anti-infantry monsters to support your frontline. Alternatively, bring your own armour piercing infantry but remember to back them up with magic or flankers.
