Warhammer Fantasy & 40k - Realms of Chaos

This book, Slaves to Darkness is one half of the two volumes that make up Realm of Chaos, a supplement for the Warhammer range of games. In it, you'll find everything you need for campaigns set in the Chaos Wastes of the Warhammer World or for discovering the minions of Chaos in the very heart of human society.

On the following pages you will find the most complete and definitive details ever published on two of the Powers of Chaos, Khorne and Slaanesh. Their abilities, followers, daemonic underlings, and their dealings with the world of Warhammer are all covered. Full details of the magic of Chaos and the foul mutations which warp the bodies and minds of its followers are also included.

Two more Chaos gods, Nurgle and Tzeentch, are presented in The Lost and the Damned, the companion Realm of Chaos volume.

The Warhammer Fantasy Battle gamer will find the followers and creatures of Chaos fully detailed, with example warbands and armies, and complete notes on creating your own Chaos creatures. Notes and tips are provided for the modeller interested in creating Chaos creatures in miniature, and there are also suggestions on organising battles into narrative campaigns.

The Warhammer 40,000 Gamesmaster will find a complete section introducing Daemons and the followers of Chaos into WH40K battles along with details of the links between Chaos, warpspace and the threat that unrestrained psychic power poses to the Imperium.

The Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay GM will find full profiles for Chaos Warriors and Beastmen, which can be used to develop awe-inspiring NPC followers of Chaos.

Both volumes of Realm of Chaos can be used to create daemonic armies to fight out epic (and smaller scale) table top battles; they can help WFRP GMs create villains of staggering evil for roleplaying games; and they can introduce a new element of horror into any Warhammer game.



The Lost and the Damned and its companion volume Slaves to Darkness describe the fantastic and otherwordly Realm of Chaos. This book is concerned with the two great Chaos Powers Tzeentch and Nurgle, their Daemons, and their mortal Champions. The other two major Chaos Powers, Khorne and Slaanesh, have already been described in Slaves to Darkness, volume one of Realm of Chaos.

Warhammer Fantasy Battle players can use this book to create their own Champions of Chaos - mortal heroes whose mighty deeds have won them the deserving patronage of the Chaos Powers. As a Champion of Chaos, your hero will earn special rewards from his patron, including super-human abilities, magical gifts, and daemonic followers. In return for his Patron's favour, your Champion must undertake to fight rival Champions and further the divine aims of his Chaos Power in the mortal world.

Warhammer Fantasy Battle players can also use this book to create Daemonic Armies of the Chaos Powers Nurgle and Tzeentch. Daemonic Armies are so tremendously powerful and highly magical that they are only suitable for fighting each other. This they do more or less continuously as their masters pitch them against each other to test their relative strengths. Champions of Chaos who have grown sufficiently powerful may be summoned to the daemonic battlefield to fight on behalf of their patron.

Warhammer 40,000 players can also create their own Champions to fight each other or any of the other forces of the Imperium. Players can also use this book to design armies of Chaos Renegades and Traitor Marines which confront the Imperium for control of the galaxy.

Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay players can use this book either to create an unusual character type in the Chaos Champion, or to generate endless adversaries for more conventional characters. The narrative generators can also be used as the basis for adventures against or on behalf of the Chaos Powers, and also provide many ideas which you can develop into game plots yourself.
