Warhammer: The Old World Arcane Journal - Warriors of Chaos | 48-Page Softcover Supplement with Armies of Infamy, Special Characters & New Rules | Games Workshop 2024

Embrace the darkness and unleash the primal fury of the north with the Warhammer: The Old World Arcane Journal - Warriors of Chaos, a comprehensive 48-page supplement that expands your chaotic conquests beyond imagination. This essential addition to your Old World collection delves deep into the frozen wastes where savage tribes serve the dark gods, bringing you two complete Armies of Infamy, legendary special characters, and seven devastating new unit profiles that will transform your tabletop battles forever.
The Path to Chaos Revealed
Journey into the Chaos Wastes, an accursed shadowland where the material world bleeds into the Realm of Chaos itself. This beautifully illustrated tome chronicles the beliefs and brutal traditions of the innumerable Marauder tribes and the mighty Warriors of Chaos who wage eternal war in the frozen north. Discover the Saga of the Chainmaker, following Frydaal's ruthless conquest of the doomed town of Hollum and her creation of a chaos wasteland within the Empire's very borders.
Two Legendary Armies of Infamy
Transform your warfare with two distinct fighting forces that offer completely new tactical approaches. The Wolves of the Sea represent swift marauder raiders who strike from coastal waters with lightning speed. Their unique rules allow Marauders and Marauder Cavalry to become deadly skirmishers for just one point, while their most thematic special rule enables pre-game champion duels that determine first turn advantage through honorable combat or cowardly refusal.
The Heralds of Darkness present a fully mounted chaos army that brings terror on hooves and wings. With increased core requirements filled by Knights, Horsemen, Warhounds, and Chosen Chaos Chariots, this elite force combines devastating charge power with supernatural mobility across the battlefield.
Iconic Characters Return
Meet two compelling special characters who embody chaos incarnate. Frydaal the Chainmaker, an Exalted Champion whose presence bolsters all Marauder units within command range with +1 Leadership while granting ambushing forces improved reliability. Her devastating two-handed weapon delivers up to seven Strength 7 attacks without the Strikes Last penalty. Galrauch the Great Drake returns as the legendary dragon corrupted by a Greater Daemon of Tzeentch, now more reliable than his notoriously chaotic original incarnation while maintaining his Terror-causing presence and magical prowess.
Seven New Unit Profiles
Expand your tactical options with seven brand-new unit entries that add depth and variety to your chaos forces. These additions work seamlessly with existing Warriors of Chaos armies while offering specialized roles within the new Armies of Infamy structures.
Narrative Scenarios and Endless Possibilities
Experience the ongoing conflict through included narrative scenarios that pit the Wolves of the Sea against Imperial forces defending against coastal raids. The open-ended nature of these encounters allows players to determine outcomes and create their own legendary battles within the World of Legend.
Premium Production Values
This softcover supplement maintains Games Workshop's exceptional quality standards with 16 pages of atmospheric artwork and lore before diving into rules content. Stunning painted miniature photography showcases the visual potential of your chaos forces while providing inspiration for your own painting projects.
Perfect Integration
Designed for use alongside Warhammer: The Old World - Ravening Hordes, this Arcane Journal seamlessly integrates with existing rules while providing substantial new content without power creep concerns. Whether you're building your first chaos warband or expanding an established collection, these rules offer meaningful choices that enhance rather than overshadow core gameplay.
Available in both physical softcover and digital ePub formats, the Arcane Journal: Warriors of Chaos represents the fifth release in this acclaimed supplement series, continuing the tradition of focused expansions that tell smaller, evolving stories within the vast Old World setting.
