This is the Relic unit for Chaos. It's a greater daemon who's a dedicated (giant) melee fighter with jump ability. The Bloodthirster is built from the Daemon Pit, but doesn't actually appear there. Instead he's activated from a commander or squad leader unit who is then killed and replaced by the Bloodthirster. Hence one of these could show up unexpectedly in the middle of a fight. Killing one isn't much different from killing an Avatar; you dance with, say, an Assault Squad while focused fire wears it down. Your commanders can hurt it pretty good as well. | |||

The ultimate Chaos unit, a hero of Chaos "ascended" to a position second only to the Chaos gods. Treat him like a tougher version of the Bloodthirster. Of course, killing the Daemon Prince will finish the whole game so feel free to mob him with all your melee units and keep dropping Dreadnoughts on him as fast as you can build new ones. | |||

Revision as of 13:14, 19 December 2009
Commanders
Chaos Lord
- Class: Commander
- Role: Melee, support
Close combat unit that can attach to squads to boost morale.
Chaos Sorcerer
- Class: Commander
- Role: Support
Powerful damage and movement restricting special abilities. Can teleport short distances.
Infantry
Heretic
- Class: Infantry
- Role: Builder unit
Has the ability to turn health into increased construction power .
Cultist Squad
- Class: Infantry
- Role: Anti-infantry, cannon fodder
Weak unit with high numbers useful as a meat shield. Can be upgraded to detect infiltrated units, have plasma guns and Grenade launches.
Chaos Space Marines
- Class: Heavy infantry
- Role: Versatile
Similar to standard Space Marines however tainted by Chaos. Can be upgraded to have heavy bolters and plasma guns.
Raptor Squad
- Class: Heavy infantry
- Role: Jump infantry
Close combat unit capable of short distance flying.
Horror Squad
- Class: Infantry
- Role: Anti-infantry
Ranged attack daemon summoned from the warp into the map.
Possessed Squad
- Class: Heavy infantry
- Role: Melee
"The ultimate combat unit" with a variety of upgrades.
Obliterator Squad
- Class: Heavy infantry
- Role: Ranged firepower
A squad of pure destruction that can lay waste to forces by using a variety of weaponry.
Vehicles
Chaos Rhino Transport
- Class: Vehicle
- Role: Transport
This is just like the Space Marine transport, only with spikes. The enemy doesn't seem to use these much in the campaign.
Defiler
- Class: Vehicle
- Role: Versatile
A daemon-possessed, four-legged walker vehicle. The Defiler has anti-infantry weaponry, a strong melee attack and an (inaccurate) battle cannon that will disrupt/demoralize infantry and deal decent damage to vehicles and buildings - a "Jack of all trades". It's best to keep your distance and take it out with lascannon vehicles - a missile squad will do, but may get knocked around a bit before succeeding.
Chaos Predator
- Class: Vehicle
- Role: Main battle tank
Equivalent to the Space Marine Predator. Starts out with anti-infantry weapons and can be upgraded to lascannons. Pretty durable so it needs some focused anti-vehicle fire (or Dreadnoughts if you can get them close enough).
Daemons
Bloodthirster
- Class: Daemon
- Role: Melee
This is the Relic unit for Chaos. It's a greater daemon who's a dedicated (giant) melee fighter with jump ability. The Bloodthirster is built from the Daemon Pit, but doesn't actually appear there. Instead he's activated from a commander or squad leader unit who is then killed and replaced by the Bloodthirster. Hence one of these could show up unexpectedly in the middle of a fight. Killing one isn't much different from killing an Avatar; you dance with, say, an Assault Squad while focused fire wears it down. Your commanders can hurt it pretty good as well.
Daemon Prince
- Class: Daemon
- Role: Melee
The ultimate Chaos unit, a hero of Chaos "ascended" to a position second only to the Chaos gods. Treat him like a tougher version of the Bloodthirster. Of course, killing the Daemon Prince will finish the whole game so feel free to mob him with all your melee units and keep dropping Dreadnoughts on him as fast as you can build new ones.
Buildings
Heavy Bolter Turret
