hroughout the Old World people huddle behind the high walls of their
cities for protection. Outside these fortified settlements, ravening
warbands hold sway over a grim land of forests, mountains, and
untamed wilderness. Within is safe, comfortable and ordered. Without
is elemental danger, ancient darkness, and the inescapable rule of
Chaos.

here are four great Chaos Gods - four brothers in darkness - who rule
the infernal region known as the Realm of Chaos. This is not a
material realm but a place without physical or temporal boundaries, a
vast formless limbo that exists beyond the light of sun or star. From
their vantage point beyond space and time the Chaos Gods ponder the
feeble antics of mortals much as a man might study a nest of ants.

Th e fat e o f th e O ld W o rl d is o f m o re tha n u su al
significance in the stru gg le betwee n gods and m o rtals. In
th e far no rth of th e O ld Wo rld lies a zone of darkness, a

I w.llked across the plain of bone beneath the bnzen sky, All
about wert: the skulls of the sbin and amons them srew black
flowers. each twisted bloom a soul in thralL Crimson-flttked
flies sucked at the red nectu in that field and the air usted
bloody in my mouth, The black flowers nodded their heads as
I passed and whispered in the bitter-scented breeze, A distant
daemon's shriek reached my ears ilIId the sound of tormented
laughter drifted past and was swallowed by silence,
And then I came to the T rte of Damned Shades,
Living souls had huns upon its branches and living souls had
fed its roots in ases past, Twisted with the pain of their
missuided loyalty the shades had made their pact and now had
their reward, Those same shades mOillled their rtgret and agony.
pbding for pity from every branch and twig. save one whose:
deviant eye I met. I paused in the sbre of that eye, The Tree of
Damned Shades spoke in a splintering voice. crying out as if a
thousand axes were tearins at its hartwood.
-By broken faith and bitter promise a man walks in the sardens
of blood, Once my roots taste of his momI body he is mine
and I am he, A man .., a man ... I will be free in the flesh and
bone, I will sby for you my master, Blood beyond measure I
will spill upon the battldidds of the world, Dh... free:dom
from this wooden frame that I could once asain march to the
beat of my heart:
The tree: writhed ilIId shook its dark branches and I fled. for my
fate lay not with those: trapped and hideous souls...

KHORNE
Khorn e is the Blood God. th e god o f battl e. th e
ii an g ry gael wh ose b e ll ows o f in sati ab le rage
ec ho thro ug ho ut time and space . H e sits upo n a
m ig ht y thro nc of b rass at o p a vas t m o und of
skulls. A sea of splintered ho nem o unc! ex tends infinitely in
all d irecti o ns . the remains of those slain b y his conq uering
champi o ns. K ho rn e is a god of wa rriors , and his gaze is
dra w n to,va rds halli es. He shmvs favour to th ose who fight
for w hat rhey des ire. to great warrio rs. an d to mighry wa r
lea ders. K ho rn e res p ects strength. h o n o ur, and martial
skill.
Kh o rn e we ars o rn ate armo ur o f bla ck c haos m et:i1 and
brass . H e lean s u p o n a mi g ht y douhl e- h anded swo rd
made fro m the sam e black substance. His body is broad
and muscular and his head has the fea lUres of a fi erce dog
superi mpose d over human fo rm. U p o n hi s fing e rs he
wea rs m an y hrass rin gs. some embossed \'\'ilh his o wn
skull run e. T h u s he a pp ea rs in v isio nar y fo rm to hi s
worshippers, but \\'ho ca n say w hat shape th gods may
assume for their O\'\'n fell purpose::;?
Kh o rn e is th e m os t powe rf ul o f all th e Chaos God s. His
chief ri va l is Tzeentch. the Great Sorce rer Tzeentch is the
patron o f w iz<lI'ds just as K ho rn e is the patro n o f warri o rs.
Of co urse , this ri va lry d oes nOl prevent Khorne makin g
co millo n ca use with Tzeenlch wh en it is conH 'n ienl to do
so . Combin ed. the t\VO god s are always m o re po w erful
th~1I1 th e o lh ers . O f all his h ro t he r god s K ho rn e m os t
d es pi ses Slaa nesh . wh ose prancin g fo pp er ies are a n
a ~lronl to Khorn e's sense of h o n o ur and m arti al [)rid e .
Even so . Kh o rne makes use of the Prin ce o f Chaos \"hen
necessa ry. as mu ch as it ma y ga ll hilll lO do so.
TZEENTCH
T zeenlch is th e G reat Sorce rer. th e god of mag iC
and m as ter o f the mut abl e tim e-strea m. H e is
kn own as th e Changer of the Ways . th e one \'\'ho
direct., th e fatc o f th e uni,·erse. Tzeentc h g uid es
unwitling mon als along paths destined to in crease hi s own
[) o w e r, th o ug h th ey m ay ne\' er rea lise th e ir p art in his
plan. He shows fm'our to thos e wh o use int ellige nce to
co ntro l th e wo rld , es p ec i ~tll y to w i za rd s an d magi ca l
crea tures . He ta kes delight in the pl otting and po liticking
of m e n. and favo urs th e c unning ove r th e stro ng. th e
manipulati ve over the violenlo
Tzeenl ch is th e m o.'t \\'eirdly form ed of all his hrot hers. His
skin craw ls Wilh co nstantly ch ang ing faces w hich leer and
mock those wh o look upo n him. As Tzeelllch speaks thes
faces repea t his words, o ft en w it h subll e but impo rtant
diffe rences o f meaning. The gael's pucke red face is fo rm ed
upon his up per to rs , so h is head and body are o ne. Fro m
above his eyes spring two swee ping ho rn s o f great length .
H e appears suspended ahove a sea of swirlin g multi -
colo ured mist. Tn this fo rm he speaks w ith his fo ll owe rs
and in such shape he is depicted in his temples .
Tzeenlc h is almost as pOII'erful as Khorn e but his po\'\'er
takes a very different fo rm. Tzeenlch is th e mas ter o f magic
and subtlety. It is Tzeentch \" ho holds the R e~ dm o f Chaos
beyond time and space and it is he who watch es over lhe
destin y of the material universe. His p lOls are complex and
inre rw oven . and he is th e [)rin c i p~tI arc hitect of secre t
alliances amo ng~ l the Dark God::; .
THE CHAOS GODS
NURGLE

CHAOS GIFTS

special feature of the Chaos army is the Chaos Gifts cards, a deck
representing mutations, special powers, and uniquely chaotic
occurrences. Most of these take the form of simple bonuses to a
model's characteristics. However, there are some quite unusual powers
as you w ill realise w hen you read through the cards.
The ca rd deck is used to determ ine rand o m bo nuses fo r
your arm y d uring th e ga me . fowe \'e r. th e gods are no t
co mplete ly o n yo ur side as YO LI \yill disC() \·er. Th ere are

Drag o n Og res are the mos t ancient of all the
world's living creatures. Aeons ago their race made
a sinister pact with the forces of Chaos. embracing
damnation rather than accepting a slow decline into
extinction. Unless they die in battle Dragon Ogres
live practically forever. spending most of their time
asleep. Only mighty thunder storms stir Dragon
Ogres from their sleep. When the lightning cracks
across the darkened skies they battle for supremacy
on the highest mountain peaks.

 CHAOS MUTATIONS
BY MIKE MCVEY
Collecting a Chaos army for Warhammer presents many opportunities for all manner of
conversion and modelling work. Individualised Chaos Champions, mutants and Spawn
can be created using a few well-established techniques. This short section demonstrates
a few of the limitless possibilities modelling provides and includes an extract from the
Citadel Miniatures Modelling Guide detailing an ambitious project - a splendid
Sorcerer of Slaanesh mounted on a Chaos Dragon.

This model illustate'i how to get the most out of your

arm of the barbarian used to create the Spawn model above.
The extra arm is taken from a Citadel plastic Skaven. Because
both s\\on..l arms and the Beastman arc all plastic components
this ~ort of complex effect is achieved easily. Once the various
components ha\e cut and

glue used to stick them

permanent and very strong
bond but it actually "welds"
the piece .. together. This
results in a really smooth fit

CHAOS CHAMPION
CONVERSION
One of the simplest and yet most effective cOll\'ersions that you can
app ly to a Chao, Champion is to add a tail. The champion of Nurgle
\hown here has been tran,formed by the addition of a scorpion tail
taken from a Chaos Hound.
The tail \\.as carefully
removed with a razor saw to
ensure that the cut \\as flat
and would lit neatly onto the
back of the Champion.
Remcmber to put the rest of
the Chaos Hound into your
bits box. so it can be used on a

future modelling project. Attaching the tail

\\ as very straightforward. the back of
Champion was filed down flat and the tail was
pinned into placc and glued.

 CHAOS DRAGON
Dragons are the most powerful monsters in Warh ammer and some of the most
spectacular miniatures. Their huge size and ferocious appearance m akes them
tower above even the largest units or war machines. They also make
impressive mounts for a character or an army general. In this section I'll be
looking at a conversion of a Ch aos General mounted on a dragon. This is a
large, complex conve rsion, and the most ambitious of those covered in this
guide.

PLANNING THE
CONVERSION
Most of the conversio ns covered so far have been
q uite small, w hich makes the m easy to work with.
Prog ress ing fro m co nve rting s ma ll fi g ures to a
dragon may seem like a huge leap, but there is really
ve ry little d iffere nce. Th e tec hniqu es app lied a re
exactly the same, just o n a larger sca le. In fac t the
ride r is , if an yt hing, a s lig htl y mo re co mpl ex
conversio n than the dragon itself.
This modelling project differs fro m the other special
conversio ns in the guide in that it is no t based o n
anything specific, such as a piece of artwork. so I had
total freedom to do what I wanted. THE DRAGON
The initial inspiratio n came fro m the model itself - it As I me ntio ned ea rlie r, the d rago n itse lf has no t

to use fo r the diffe rent ele ments of the conversio n.
This was no problem for the dragon itself. as I didn't
wa nt to ma ke any majo r compo nent changes , just
some alteratio ns in the pose. I used a couple of extra
pieces: an additio nal tail section and a left am1.
The rider uses parts from two basic miniatu res, with
detail added from others. The legs were the first part
I chose. They were take n fro m the High Elf Griffo n
ride r a nd came complete w ith a saddle back. The
upper body was cut from a Cha mpio n of Slaanesh,
which has a snake tail instead of legs. The whip is
from another Chaos Champio n and I also used the
back banner from an Eldar Dark Rea per Exa rch.
The photograph at the to p of the page shows all of
the ma in compone nts used in this conversion. There
were also some othe r mino r pieces and materials that
I found in my bits box. 111e only othe r things I used
were modelling putty, plasticard and scenic material
for the base.

28
The tail
To give the dragon more of an unusual look
consistent with Chaos, I decided to give the tail two
tips. This was quite easy: I simply cut off the tips of
two tails about two inches from the end and glued
them both back onto the stump of one of the lower
body sections. I had to taper the inner edges of the
ends of the tails to get them to fit neatl y togetller. I
cut the sides down with a hea vy craft knife , and
smoothed the joining surfaces with an emery boa rd. I
glued the two tail sections together first and then
smoothed down the combined end of the join and
attached them to the body with a strengthening pin.
nJe arms lI. 'ere pillned ;11/0 place so ,balthere was a gap be/ween tbe
sholiider and fh e body. They were thell bellt i1ll0 fb e desired position
and the gap hetween tbell1 !/las filled ,/'ith modelling pully .

Positioning the arms

When fh e two fa ils bad beell joined I smootbed down their combined
end and allaciJed fhem to the body.
The anns o n the original model are positioned quite
high, ma king it difficult to add a rider. To make it
easier to place the rider, I altered the position of the
arms . A ho le was drilled in the end of each of the
anns and in the centre of tile sockets. The arms were
then pinned into place, but with a length of wire that
was s lightl y too lo ng , so the re was a small gap
between the components. This allowed the arms to
be bent into tile right positions. Then all I had to do
was fill tile gaps with modelling putty and model on
some scales.

MODELLING TIPS
USING FINE WIRE
AND CHAIN
One of the interesting features of this conversion
are tlle reins. These are different from the paper
reins covered earlier in the guide. requiring a
slightly higher level of modelling skill to create. The ,/'ire is u'rapped rOl/lld a The next step is to slide tbe coiled

quite some tin1e. The best sort of wire to use is
either fine fuse wire or florists ' wire. The best
quality of this sort of wire is tllat it is easy [0 bend
and fonn into different shapes.
On the Chaos Dragon I attached the lengths of
chain to the hands and the horns using loops of
wire . This was made by wrapping the wire
round a narrow length of tube as shown in tile
photographs. The easiest way to attach the chain
to tile wire is to thread the end link of chain onto
tile wire and then glue this closed into a loop .
Alternatively, you can split one of the links in tile hldil'idualloops ca>l he cut off nJe chain is careJully threaded

 The legs
The origina l dragon is positioned standing on both
hind legs, giving it a stable base, I wanted to create as
much movement as possible in the miniature , so I
decided to alter the positio n of the right leg. This was
not d iffic ult, I juSt pinned it on in a ra i. ed position
and filled the gap around the join using putty. The
o rigina l foot has a fl atte ned underside to make a
stable join with the base. To get rid of this I removed
the foot at the ankle and replaced it with a casting
of one of the hands. I also removed the lhu mb and
re-attac hed it to the ins ide of the leg just be low
the knee.

THE CHAOS CHAMPION
Removing components
The first ta sk was to re move the separate
components from thei r origina l miniatures. The most
difficult part to re move wa s the up per bod y. This
req uired ~o me carefu l cutting widl a fret saw. I had to
cut up behind the lowest right hand and the n across
the body, keeping d1e cut as flat a~ possible. The cut
needed to cross dle body just below the ri bbon at the
waist and come out at the back of the left gauntlet.
Cutting with a fret saw is not v ry neat. so d1e surface
needed to be filed flat a fter~varcL.,.

Adding detail to the body
The two main fea tur s [ added to the body were th e
w hip and the ha ndl e for th e re ins. The whip wa s
easy to add : the sword was removed Wit1l a pa ir of
clippers a nd the w hip was pin ned on in its place.
Before it was glued on to the hand I bent it into a
shape to suit the shape of the miniature .
The ha nd le for the re ins was a more delicate
ope ration, req ui ring lhe removal of the scro ll from
the right hand . This was mostly sni pped awa with a
pa ir of lippe rs a nd the n cleaned up wit h a craft
knife . Th handle itself was made from the hilts of
Chaos swords that [ fo und in my bits box. J drilled a
hole right throug h dle hand and pinn d one hilt to
each side. The wire loops for the reins were glued on
under dle tongue on each side.
The standard pole
The back o f the sad d le is top ped ,V ilh a standard
pole bea ring me Slaanesh Chaos rune. This replaces
the High Elf design that was Originally on the top of
the sadd le , and wh ich was removed directly below
the hea rt ready [ 0 take d1e new piece. The pole is d1e
back ba nne r from an Eldar Dark Rea pe r Phoenix
Lord, with the rLine on the top altered. This did not
e ntail a great dea l o f wo rk. The o rig inal fLine was
sni pped off the pole and the triang ular se lion was
removed . The circu lar piece was made from a short
length of plastic LUbing which was pinned o nto the
upper part of the rune. The whole t1ling was attached
to the to p of the pole.
Th" lieU' nil/£' IS PIIII/eel il/lo place Oil/be lOp oflhe pole.
Attaching the model to the base
When [he whole conversio n was finished it had to be
se lIrely anached to the base, This \Vas quite tricky as
th e d ragon is a la rge a nd hea y mode l, on ly
suppo rted by one leg. [ pinned the dragon o nto th
base lI s ing a fa r heavie r gau ge of w ire than I
nonna ll use. approximately 2mm in diameter rather
than Imm. I used this ga uge of wire to pin the left leg
to the body, as this join also ta kes a grea t dea l of
strain . When the model was pinned and glued to the
base, I dri lled another hole between the claws. down
into the base and glued in a pin at a different angle to
the fi r t. 'J11is made the join even stronger.

As the Ch aos Lords prepared to lead th e second

outskirts of the Chaos enGlmpment. The Em pire
troops immediately set about the fe\y Chaos
fo llowers there, and the main Chaos fo rce quickl
learned of this n e ~v threat to its rear. With great ha ste
the Chaos arm )' divicled int o tw o. one part o f th e

T ho usands o f Chaos tTOOpS were slaughtereel and the
Chaos fo rce co uld do nothing to h ~ t1t th e pace o f

But th e forces o f Chaos w ere still grea t. Though

surro unded. The Empire arm y fell back into a
defensive circle.
A ll [his was o bser\' ed from the cit y wa lls. At fiN the

With the threa t fro m Magnus co ntained the Chaos

With tremendous ferocity th e cava lty plunged into

implacable anger.
WARHAMMER ARMIES - CHAOS
Magnus and his main army had drawn LIp o nto a low
hill where it end ured th e co nstant attack o f Beastm en

sudden co nfusion in th e rea r r;.lnks of the Chaos

confusion hehind them and hegan to \vaver.
Summo ning the last of his strength Magnus spurred
his tmops to th e att ack.
Mea nwhile in the city the defenders witnessed th e

haos Gods are generous but irresponsible with their favours. Gods
cannot distinguish the differe nce in value of their gifts, or they simply
have no interest in investigating the matter. When blessing one of his
fo llowers a Chaos God might inadvertently m ake him stronger,
tougher, faster, astonishingly attractive, intellige nt, or o the rwise
improve his lot. But the gift might equally well disadvantage the
follower, making him weak, feeble-minded, or turning his body into a
sluggish mound of flesh . The Gods of Chaos are also the gods of chance, and
courting their favour is nothing if not ris ky.

CHAOS DAEMONS
• • • • • •
aemons inhabit the shadowy Realm of Chao s w here they draw
succour from its endless sea of life-giving magical energy. They can
only exist in the real world if m agically sustained, an d even then their
existence is vulnerable. When the power of Chaos grows strong
magical power builds up in the Warhammer World allowing daemons
to manifest themselves. Close to the Chaos gateway in the far north
this power is strongest, and daemons are able to take on material
form and walk the earth. Only when Chaos is at its most potent are daemons able
to accompany Chaos armies as they march south to war.
Daem o ns are rep resented by special rul es, So me o f the:>e

h e clatter of soldiers in the alleyway alerted Marius to his
peril. Hurriedly he gathered four black candles and bundled
them into his voluminous robes. With his heart racing he
fumbled for the secret catch by the rtreplace. Long rtngers
quickly found the mechanism and a wooden panel snapped
open with a muted click.
"Open up in the name of the Emperor," roared a voice which
he knew to be that of Falconius Captain of the Theogonist's Guard.
Without wailing for a re pl y the ~oldi e rs hegan to

Slow and wa,y footstep mounted rhe sreep stai rway.

fea red d eath as mu ch as any m ortal. ye t rh e cas k er
held something infinitely mo re terrifying. Until now
he had al'CI'ays fanc ied he ~\ 'o uld have the betTer o f it

the fo rgi veness of igma r.
Had he but fo resee n this m o m ent. \\'o uld he have
made the pact that bound him so subtly to the Grea t
Sorcerer of Chaos'
A final step brought Falconius into the chamber. For
an instant th e Captain stood silhouened aga inst th e
shifting ca ndle-light, blinking uncertainly, barely able
to contain his own fear. He saw at o nce that Mariu s
\yas there. hunched over a small cas ket that glo \yed
with a radi ance o f its o\vn. Upon th e So rce rer' s
sho ulder there p erched a foul creature, a familiar o f
uncertain form but hai rl ess and vaguely bat-like. Th e
thin g sh ri eked and it s black eye s g lowe red
malevolentl y at th e soldier as he raised his sword .
"Hold there Sorcerer and be silent' " cried the Ca ptain
of the Th eog nist's Gua rd . " But a single \yord and you
die thi s day."
Falconius strode illlo the room h is sword held before
him lik e a ward to th e Sorcerer's p o \\·e r . An o th er
s Icli er appea red b ehind him and o thers hes itallll y
crept up th e sta invay.
A sudden and powerful anger \vell ed within th e
Sor erer MJ riu s. Confro nted by his pursuers at last. all
fea r left him and he was O\'ercome with indigna tion.
How dare thi s feeble se ll-sw o rd challenge him . he
who had devoted his li fe to th e stud y of th e arca ne
a,1S. What power did steel ha\'e O\'er him wh en th e
p owe r o f T zee ntc h . th e G rea t So rce rer o f Ch:lOS,

"Fooi'" c ri ed Ma riu s, his o ice ec hoe d ro und the

about th e Sorcerer's head . Th e other soldiers gaped in

and flee .
Ma riu s hrea thed deep ly o f the magiC soa ked air. As his

beyond the confines of the room. so that it was as if he
we re loo king d ow n up o n th e sce n e fro m a g rea t

it were a tiny shrunken thing and he heard his o~vn

Volkmar stepped past the trembling sold iers his gaze
fixed up o n th e So rce rer. Th e G rand T heogo nist
I etra yed no sign o f terror for he had confront ed and
defea ted the ev il o f Chao:; man y times and he had
lea rn ed I Hlg ago to trust in the righteous powe r of his
god. About hi;; n ec k hung a tin y go ld en hamm er
\\'hich he clasped in his right hand. holding it between
himself and Marius.
Kithelahar hissed evilly and th e daemon cringed as it
ca ught sight of th e po tent symbol of Sigm ar. IVlarius
felt his own pO'CI'er suddenly ebb. as if the ve,y fa ith of
th e Grand Th eogo ni st w ere a barrier to him . Sp ell
work woul d not sa \'e him now. H e had expended no
littl e energy already and Vo lkmar was an ad versa ry
too powerful for such as he. He felt paniC rise within
his breast.
"O h Grea t Master' " he cri ed o ut. turning his vo ice to
th e heave ns. ,, [ m ak e the Dark Promise at l as t. "
Benea th his feet th e :;igil of Tzeentch glowed hrightl y,
it s sha p e shiftin g faster and fas ter lik e a se rpe nt

him . The room fill ed slowly with a din like a daemon's

"S ig maI'. " 'ho ut ed th e Grand Th eogo nisr. "S igmar

"Tzeentch." bellowed Marius, "Cha nger of the Way '.

"Oh damned fool! " cried Volkmar ahove th e turmo il o f
daemonic vo ices , " [n but a m o m ent th o u shalt be

death \vhile there is still time."
The casket o pened and Marius saw w hat was inside.
O f all those in that cursed room. only Volkmar himself
could see Ma riu s's fa ce for [hat brief second before the
end. Ever afte,warcls the Gra nd Theogonist would fall
silent if the fate o f Marius sho uld he mentio ned and
