Special Notes for Using This Book With Hordes of ChaosWhen I designed Hordes of Chaos I did not anticipate that people would want to play full size

campaigns with it I made it sufficiently simple for one-off games but campaigns need more complexity and flavor hence this monster 21 page supplement

With that in mind I recommend the following changes when making use of the army list for making warbands in this game

1 Assume that any changes in the wargear apply to the Champion only For example in this supplement Chaos Weapons are much more complex These more complex rules should apply to Champions only the normal Hordes of Chaos Chaos Weapon rules should be used for followers The same goes for Chaos Armor Chaotic Attributes and so on

2 Always assume that if any stats are abilities differ between books that this book takes precedence 3 Some special rules from Hordes of Chaos have not made it into this book For example summoning

and personal icons Assume that the rules have stayed the same In fact if something is not changed or mentioned in this book assume that it has not been changed and stays the same as per Hordes of Chaos

4 Some parts of this book are intentionally vague for example creating campaigns This is so that the players dont feel constricted by the rules and play the game how they see fit

This book has been a labor of love and I hope you enjoy it

[ltltUsing Realms of Chaosgtgt]How the System Works

This books Companion if it can be called that is The Hordes of Chaos a book which includes many of the troops and abilities that you will make use of during the Campaign Note that if there is a difference between abilities in this book and The Hordes of Chaos always assume that this book takes precedence

A Champion of Chaos is any individual that gives up its soul and any goodwill it may have had for power and carnal desires In the 41st millennium there are many such individuals In this campaign system the Champion begins its path to power as a randomly generated profile with randomly generated rewards and attributes

As you progress in your games your Champion of Chaos will gain more rewards and attributes with the intent of becoming an immortal Daemon Prince Your Champion will continue on its goal until one of three things happens It dies (fairly likely) becomes a Chaos Spawn (even more likely) or becomes a Daemon Prince (highly unlikely) Such is the nature of Chaos Quickly attained power in exchange for a long lifespan

The D6In this system the D6 is the primary dice used Often there will be a notation like 1d6 This means that

you will roll one d6 2D6 means to roll two D6 and then combine the results In the same way D6+1 means to roll a single D6 and then add one to the result To roll a D3 means to roll a D6 Then change the scores to 1 or 2=1 3 or 4=2 5 or 6=3 A D2 also uses a D6 but the score is changed to 1 through 3=1 4 through 6=2

The D66

The d66 is an important part of Slaves to Darkness In order to get a d66 roll 2d6rsquos with one representing the 10rsquos digit and one representing the 1rsquos digit You then put the two values together For example if someone rolls a 1 and a 6 they will get 16 This gives values of 11 to 66 for 36 total values

Profiles Points Value This is added to the end of the profile with the heading PV A Chaos Thug with a PV of 8 would cost 8 points

The GamesmasterThough not explicitly called for or needed a GM is incredibly useful especially in a complicated ruleset

such as Realms of Chaos There are many benefits to a fair GM Flavorful narrative campaigns can be created and rules decisions will be chosen by a third party

If a GM is chosen make sure that they have a good knowledge of the Warhammer 40000 rulebook and also a decent understanding of this ruleset A GM is also useful for helping ease the games along without too much problem

Being a GM can be a very rewarding position even more than playing It is exciting to have knowledge that the players are unwittingly fighting in a minefield or the site of a merciless slaughter where the dead rise again to fight

The Pantheon of ChaosIn this section you will find special rules for Chaos Daemons and for using this supplement

There are four Major Chaos gods listed in order of power and prominence Khorne Tzeentch Nurgle and Slaanesh This section gives a brief description of each accompanied with the list of their Daemonic servants Each god has a Greater Daemon one or more Lesser Daemons a Beast andor a Steed to do its bidding

Chaos Daemons All Chaos Daemons by default are Fearless and have an invulnerable save which is listed in their profile They may take this in addition to any armor or cover save they take

Greater Daemons You may only have 1 Greater Daemon in an army Greater Daemons are all Monstrous Creatures and considered Summoning Icons (As per Hordes of Chaos) The unit composition for Greater Daemons is 1 Greater Daemon Lesser Daemons come in a squad size equal to their gods sacred number They also lose Fearless when in combat against a Greater Daemon Unit type Infantry Beasts Beasts lose Fearless when fighting Lesser Daemons or Greater Daemons They have the unit type BeastSteeds Steeds lose Fearless when fighting against Lesser Daemons or Greater Daemons They may also be ridden as a reward Steeds have the unit type Cavalry if a Mount or Beast if a unit The unit composition for Steeds is always 1-10 Steeds

All Chaos Daemons suffer from Instability Whenever a Chaos Daemon unit sustains 25 or more casualties it takes a LD test If it succeeds nothing happens If it fails for every point it fails by deal another wound to the unit

Due to the fact that the rules of reality dont really apply to the denizens of the Warp Chaos Daemons cannot be removed from play or instantly killed-instead they take D3 unsaveable wounds

Jealous godsThe Chaos gods are jealous beings Though they all hate each other in some capacity some are diametrically opposed

Khorne hates Slaanesh and vice versaTzeentch hates Nurgle and vice versa You may never include armies with followers of diametrically opposed powers See Hordes of Chaos for more on the Jealous gods rule

The Road To PowerGetting started especially for those new to this supplement seems very confusing and well chaotic

This section gives the basic breakdown of how to progress1 First of all generate your Champion (3) 2 Choose a power of Chaos for your Champion to follow and generate its first Chaotic Attribute(s) (7) and

also any starting equipment from the Champion Equipment (10) section that it will have We recommend doing this in the presence of a neutral third party

3 Decide between you and any opponents the points value of the game and then create your warband For a first game 500 or 750 is a good place to start

4 Generate any attributes or abilities for your warband before deployment5 After the game has finished to figure out the winner determine any survivors calculate victory points

and generate any rewards or attributes gained (If a narrative campaign) 6 Using equipment and recruitment points tailor your list for the next battle It is best to add no more than

250 points(for scaling purposes) after each battle So if your first battle is 750 your next battle will be 1000 (For escalation leagues or narrative campaigns)

7 Repeat 2 through 5 if playing narrative campaigns or escalation leagues using the book

The Most Important Rule Yes yes you are a filthy mutated daemonic follower of Chaos but to ensure that everyone has fun

there needs to be a sense of fairness which is why we recommend using a GM There is a points system in place to ensure that the sides are (for the most part) fairly even but with so much randomness it is impossible for any system to cope This randomness also ensures that scenarios will come up that were not envisioned when this supplement was created And thats perfectly fine One of the best ways to ldquodeciderdquo if one side is more correct than the other is to consult the greater daemon of the Chance gods The d6 Both players roll off the higher number chooses to use hisher envisioned ruling

The most important rule is to have fun This is a chance to escape and to do some crazy stuff So if one side seems super powerful and the other seems really weak add some stuff to the weak side and take some stuff from the more powerful side

A note on WYSIWYG Models are not ldquorequiredrdquo per se to be WYSIWYG It is however very rewarding to have models with the appropriate mutations and equipment and to see both sides duke it out This isnt always possible of course Before each game if a model isnt WYSIWYG then you should declare what it has Note that some abilities REQUIRE that you be WYSIWYG

Starting ProfilesThe table below is used to determine your Champion of Chaos Some races have special rules and equipment associated with them and these will all be listed on the next page Note that the table skews towards weaker profiles since the lure of Chaos is much greater to those who are weak When rolling for the profiles roll 2d6 to determine the Champions origin and then 2d6 to determine the models status It is easiest to roll 4d6 in one go with 2 sets of dice being the same color so that you can quickly determine the starting point

Except in competition games you may choose to have a Chaos Thug or Aspiring Sorcerer as the base instead of rolling This should be a mutual agreement between you and your opponent This Champion starts with an additional Chaos Attribute

The Marks of Chaos

Once a Champions profile has been determined it is given a Chaos Reward which differs from patron to patron In addition all Chaos Champions receive a single Chaos Attribute generated randomly using the Chaotic Attributes table Keep in mind that these initial Chaos Rewards and Attributes -are- used for determining if it becomes a Chaos Spawn or a Daemon Prince

Once the Champion has received its bonuses you may then start to create a warband KhorneA Champion of Khorne receives a suit of Chaos Armor+1 Psykers immediately lose all psychic powers They may still make use of Psychic Hoods and other psychic wargear

TzeentchA Champion of Tzeentch receives a random piece of Chaotic Equipment It also receives D3 starting Chaos Attributes instead of 1

NurgleA Champion of Nurgle gets +1 T Its original value is used for calculating ID

SlaaneshA Champion of Slaanesh is Stubborn

Chaos UndividedA Champion of Chaos Undivided may reroll a single failed leadership test per turn

GIFTS OF THE GODS

Becoming a Chaos SpawnThere are many ways to become a Chaos Spawn

1 Roll a 1 on the Chaos Spawn reward table2 If S T A or LD is reduced to 0 because of a Chaos Attribute3 If a Champion has 6 or more Chaos Attributes when it rolls Eye of the god4 If the Champion offends its god in battle

When the model becomes a Chaos Spawn it keeps its same profile but adds an additional D3+1 Chaos Attributes It also loses all of its equipment Any Chaos Equipment is destroyed the rest may be recovered You may still use the Chaos Champion but it ceases to gain any more rewards or attributes It may be taken as a Retinue for another Champion

Note that if you only have one Champion and it becomes a Spawn you must declare another Champion Then follow through with the Step 2 as outlined in creating a Champion in The Road To Power on page 8

Becoming a Daemon PrinceThere is only one way to become a Daemon Prince and that is by rolling Eye of the god when the Champion possesses 6 or more rewards A Daemon Prince has the following benefits It is considered a Chaos Daemon and the model gets the following changes to its stat lineWS BS S T W I A LD SV

X+1 X X+2 X+1 X+2 X+2 X+1 Becomes 10 See below

X is the value that the Champion had For example a model with WS5 BS4 S5 would still have the same BS but its WS would be 6 and its S would now be 7 The Daemon Prince also gains a 5+ invulnerable save or it gets +1 to any existing invulnerable save the model had

Chaos Champions and Warbands during Campaigns

In lieu of an experience system Chaos Champions gain rewards It is helpful to have a sheet to recording the rewards attributes and equipment of the Champion Due to the random factor and the amount of rolling it is easy to ldquofudgerdquo rolls and come out with an uber Chaos character This is why we recommend (in competition games it is REQUIRED) that you roll in the presence of a GM or neutral third party

Generating Rewards in a CampaignAs noted before the best kind of games are those that are part of a Narrative Campaign one that details the rise and fall of your Champions After every game calculate the amount of Victory Points that a Champion has earned Note that 10 Victory Points = 1 Reward Surplus points are stored for the next game Victory points are rewarded each time the Champion completes the task described A task may be completed multiple times but you will only receive victory points for the first time the task is completed in a game There is a basic Victory Point chart which all Champions use Then there are specific victory point tables for each of the 4 Chaos powers that grant victory points

Creating a WarbandAfter the Champion has been created it is time to create the warband that it leads For competition games use the Hordes of Chaos book Your Champion also has the Leader of Chaos special rule NarrativeEscalation Campaigns At the beginning of the campaign many of the FOC slots are locked and can be only unlocked by paying the proper amount of Recruitment Points A Champion starts with 2 Recruitment points Everytime your Champion receives a reward it gains an additional Recruitment point Whenever you win a battle you gain D3 points If you lose a battle you gain D2 Recruitment Points

Note A follower is any non-Heavy Support model you control that is not your Chaos Champion

HQ All lockedElites All lockedTroops All except Marauders unlockedFast Attack All lockedHeavy Support All locked

Recruitment costLord 5 pointsChampion or Sorcerer 2 pointsAspiring Champion 1 pointElites 3 6 for Chosen TerminatorsTroops 1 point (Your first 3 troop choice picks are free with the exception of Marine Renegades) Fast Attack 2 points Chaos Spawn are 1Heavy Support 5 points 6 for a Land RaiderDedicated Transports 2

Note that this is the cost for unlocking the slot and that you may only take one unit or model of that unlocked choice You must pay the cost in recruitment points every time you wish to take another unit but the cost is reduced by 1 to a minimum of 1 You must also pay the proper point cost for the squad and any upgrades it takes For example say you want to take 2 units of Mounted Marauders It would cost 2 Recruitment points for the first squad then 1 for the second squad for a total cost of 3 Recruitment Points

Recruitment Points may also be used to add up to 10 models to a squad up to the units maximum Composition

Chaos Attributes Lords start with D3+1 Chaos attributesChampions start with D3-1Aspiring Champions start with D6-4Any Mutants Big Mutants and Chaos Spawn start with D3 Any Infantry squad starts with D6-4

Note that you are not required to give a unit Chaos Attributes if they are available and you may always take less than the maximum

Follower RewardsIn narrativeescalation campaigns Whenever a Champion receives a reward you may elect one unit of followers or a single follower model to receive a special follower Chaos Reward Roll d66 and consult this chart11-46 Chaos Attribute The unit gains a Chaos Attribute 51-54 Characteristic Increase (+1S and +1T both are not additions to base stats)55-56 Chaos Spawn The entire unit becomes Chaos Spawn gaining D6 Chaos Attributes They still have their same profiles (albeit modified by the Chaos Attributes) but gain the special rules of Chaos Spawn 61-66 Special Reward The follower (or one follower in a unit) may roll on the main Chaos Rewards chart as if it was a champion

Chaos Attributes+2 points per model (Chaos attributes with a (-) symbol cost nothing) For mutants the first Chaos Attribute is free Chaos Rewards +4 points per model

For Competition gamesIn one-off Competition games all Champions cost 55 points base A randomly generated Champion may take any of the following Chaos Weapon costs 10 points plus 10 for each property after the first Daemon Weapons cost 45 points Chaos Armor costs 20 points +5 for each upgrade after the first Chaos Attributes 15 points each May take attributes up to their patrons sacred powerChaos Rewards 25 points each May take rewards up their patrons sacred power If Eye of the god is rolled consider it as if the model doesnt have enough attributes or rewards yetBecome a Daemon Prince (requires 6 rewards and less than 6 attributes) Point cost of Champion (excluding all Equipment) multiplied by 2

Though Champions dont take up HQ slots they may never consist of more than 25 of your force rounding down any decimals For example in a 1500 point game you may only have up to 375 points of Chaos Champions

Example of a starting 500 point army The Corsairs of CorruptionI am doing a Narrative escalation campaign with the first battle being 500 points First I generate my

champion I roll 2d6 and get 7 a Human Then I roll another 2d6 and get the result of 9 a Major Hero I choose to give it a Laspistol and Close Combat Weapon

Since I want this to be a Slaaneshi warband I choose to make him a follower of Slaanesh I then proceed to generate his first Chaos Attribute so I roll a d66 getting the result of 51 Rotting Flesh This isnt too useful but I -do- have a Major Hero for my starting Champion so I roll with it I then generate its equipment points getting the result of 7 for a total of 10 equipment points I choose to give him Carapace Armor (5) and a Bolt Pistol (2) So I now have a 97 point Champion that can certainly give a beating Unfortunately it dies quite easily but in 500 points theres not a lot that can really do too much damage

Now for the warband itself The Hordes of Chaos book gives me three starting troops options Chaos Thugs Mutants and Humanoid Renegades Using 1 of my 2 Recruitment points I unlock the powerful Chaos Marauder troop choice In 500 theyre a bit overkill but will be much more useful as the games go on

I choose a hefty squad of 20 mutants for a total point cost of 100 points Since I have a Slaanesh warband Im going to give them the special Slaaneshi attribute which gives opponents -1 initiative Some may balk at the cost but when youre striking at the same time as marines and before most other troop choices trust me its worth it The total cost is 140 I also choose to give the mutants a Chaos Attribute as the first one is free I get the result of 11 which gives Additional Limbs This is pretty ridiculous because now my mutants have 3 attacks or 4 on the charge At this point I put my Champion in this squad as he will give them his hefty leadership of 9 Plus hes stubborn Hail to the king baby

At this point I have almost half of my points wrapped up in one squad Id like some support squads for my mutants so I purchase a squad of 10 Renegades for 40 points and give them the Imperial Guard origin I then choose to give one a Heavy Stubber for 10 points and another a Heavy Bolter for 10 points So for 70 points thats a great firebase

I choose to take another squad of 10 Renegades with the Imperial Guard origin but this time I give them an Autocannon and a Heavy Stubber for some high strength shooting This squad comes to 72 points

Now I want another close range squad so I go with some Chaos Thugs These guys are beastmode I take a squad of 10 I like risks so I replace their lasguns with Firearms I then give 2 of them Melta Guns for some close-range ownage I also give them Carapace Armor added protection

The entire warband comes up to 499 points Id say that this is a competitive warband with good shooting and combat In 750 I can see my warband having some Marauders along with a Rhino or a Chimera

Playing a Narrative Campaign Theres been a lot of talk of Narrative campaigns in this book so we wanted to go over what they actually

are A narrative campaign has some sort of storyline involved (for example 2 sides want to take over a planet) and is where the consequences of actions in a game are tangible For example sending a squad of your best troops to attempt to take out a tank but they fail and are killed In a normal game this would be bad In a narrative campaign sending troops on suicide campaigns is a last-ditch effort not the first thing you do

For these campaigns it is recommended that you have Chaos Warbands face off against eachother You can certainly have other codices fight against a player using this ruleset and Hordes of Chaos but the amount of variety may be overpowering Thats why we recommend Chaos warbands going against other warbands

Death in a Campaign In a narrative campaign when troops die thats it Your first three troop choices are free Once those run out you have to start using Recruitment points You are also not allowed to replenish troops in a squad unless you use a Recruitment point Luckily after each game you gain Recruitment points so while your original squads may go down in size you gain new squads When new troops are added to an existing squad they are assumed to have the same attributes and rewards This is for simplicitys sake For example if you had a squad of 15 mutants with One Eye you could pay a recruitment point to add another 10 mutants to the squad which all have One Eye as well

Spicing up Narrative Campaigns To add a sense of scale use the Planetary Empires ruleset that Games Workshop has laid out Its useful and adds a Risk-like element to the campaign

Use a Gamesmaster Yes we sound like a broken record but they are incredibly useful and can iron out any kinks in the rules and create house rules where appropriate

Escalation Games Escalation games are exciting and do a great job of showing the progression of a warband As mentioned before (and this applies to Narrative campaigns too) it is best to start small with a game of 500 This allows for a Champion and a good complement of troops Then add 250 to every game ending perhaps with a huge game of 2000 per side For escalation campaigns dont roll for dead followers as you can use new ones next game Recruitment points are still used

[ltltUsing Realms of Chaosgtgt]How the System Works

This books Companion if it can be called that is The Hordes of Chaos a book which includes many of the troops and abilities that you will make use of during the Campaign Note that if there is a difference between abilities in this book and The Hordes of Chaos always assume that this book takes precedence

A Champion of Chaos is any individual that gives up its soul and any goodwill it may have had for power and carnal desires In the 41st millennium there are many such individuals In this campaign system the Champion begins its path to power as a randomly generated profile with randomly generated rewards and attributes

As you progress in your games your Champion of Chaos will gain more rewards and attributes with the intent of becoming an immortal Daemon Prince Your Champion will continue on its goal until one of three things happens It dies (fairly likely) becomes a Chaos Spawn (even more likely) or becomes a Daemon Prince (highly unlikely) Such is the nature of Chaos Quickly attained power in exchange for a long lifespan

The D6In this system the D6 is the primary dice used Often there will be a notation like 1d6 This means that

you will roll one d6 2D6 means to roll two D6 and then combine the results In the same way D6+1 means to roll a single D6 and then add one to the result To roll a D3 means to roll a D6 Then change the scores to 1 or 2=1 3 or 4=2 5 or 6=3 A D2 also uses a D6 but the score is changed to 1 through 3=1 4 through 6=2

The D66

The d66 is an important part of Slaves to Darkness In order to get a d66 roll 2d6rsquos with one representing the 10rsquos digit and one representing the 1rsquos digit You then put the two values together For example if someone rolls a 1 and a 6 they will get 16 This gives values of 11 to 66 for 36 total values

Profiles Points Value This is added to the end of the profile with the heading PV A Chaos Thug with a PV of 8 would cost 8 points

The GamesmasterThough not explicitly called for or needed a GM is incredibly useful especially in a complicated ruleset

such as Realms of Chaos There are many benefits to a fair GM Flavorful narrative campaigns can be created and rules decisions will be chosen by a third party

If a GM is chosen make sure that they have a good knowledge of the Warhammer 40000 rulebook and also a decent understanding of this ruleset A GM is also useful for helping ease the games along without too much problem

Being a GM can be a very rewarding position even more than playing It is exciting to have knowledge that the players are unwittingly fighting in a minefield or the site of a merciless slaughter where the dead rise again to fight
