Death to the False Emperor! The Chaos Space Marines, superhuman traitors empowered by Dark Gods, are the Imperium's ultimate nemesis. Emerging from hidden lairs and warp storms, they strike without warning. Clad in baroque power armor, these murderous warriors fight alongside human Cultists, hulking Chaos Terminators, and daemon engines, leading a malevolent throng of entities. Champions of Chaos, evil warlords, have plagued humanity for millennia, and as the skies bleed Chaos energy, their time has come. This codex is the definitive guide for Chaos Space Marines collectors, offering a wealth of background and rules. It details their terrible origin and betrayal of the Emperor during the Horus Heresy, timelines of key battles, and the current tainted state of the galaxy. Information on the seven major Chaos Legions—Black Legion, Alpha Legion, Iron Warriors, Night Lords, Word Bearers, World Eaters, and Emperor’s Children—includes histories, key battles, and color schemes. For gameplay, it provides 45 datasheets, army abilities, wargear lists, and rules profiles for every weapon in the Chaos arsenal. It features points values for miniatures and rules for Battle-forged armies, including Legion Traits and 24 Legion-specific Stratagems. Additionally, it includes the Dark Hereticus psychic discipline, Warlord Traits, and unique Tactical Objectives for Chaos Space Marines. Get ready for galaxy-smashing combat!
