Warhammer Armies Hordes of Chaos 6th Edition “Fear me mortals, for I am the Anointed, the favoured Son of Chaos, the Scourge of the World. The armies of the gods rally behind me, and it is by my will and by my sword that your weakling nations shall fall.” - Archaon, Lord of the End Times From the magic-swept lands of the far north come the conquering legions of Chaos, led by the Champions. I am painting up my first Chaos army (Hordes of Chaos for Fantasy Battle) and I plan to have a small contingent of each god of Chaos for variety. I am hitting a slight artist block trying to figure out what colours to paint everything. What in your mind is the colour palette for each Chaos god? The chaos warrior campaign does a good job lore-wise of representing a chaos faction that has no interest in trade, no interest in building or farming, it just wants to destroy. You get to start the game with either Archaon, Sigvald the Magnificent, or Kholek Suneater leading your horde. You will own no provinces, found no cities, and grow no crops. Chaos Warriors on the other hand should be able to have more hordes without being forced into a 10 turn clock to sack or lose. Doom stacks are no fun but at long as you hit one at a time with two decent armies it shouldn't be a problem. Chaos hordes can't get close enough to each other to reinforce or they start some nasty infighting.
Archaon's Horde was a variant of the Hordes of Chaos army for Warhammer Fantasy 6th edition, released as part of the Storm of Chaos campaign. As its name suggests, it is a variant Warriors of Chaos army that specifically represents the forces directly aligned to Archaon or under the command of one of his lieutenants. This means that it cannot feature beastmen or daemon auxilaries, but its forces are especially numerous and disciplined. It is generally most remembered for being the army that introduced the Hellcannon, which went on to become a mainstay in the Warriors of Chaos army.

Special Rules[edit]
- Jealousy of the Gods: An Archaon's Horde army may only contain the Chaos Mark of one Chaos God, other than Chaos Undivided. The faithful of each Chaos God flock together to maintain purity of purpose during an invasion on this scale.
- Grand Army of Darkness: An Archaon's Horde army may include multiple units of Chaos Chosen, instead of the normal 0-1 unit restriction for a Hordes of Chaos army.
- Legions of the Damned: Chaos Marauders units numbering at least 25 models, and Chaos Warriors units numbering at least 16 models, can update models to Standard Bearer, Musician and Champion for free.
