11

ALPHARIUS, PRIMARCH OF THE ALPHA LEGION

Other than his identical twin, Omegon, it was long supposed that since Alpharius

disdained the company of all of the other Primarchs save Horus, it was self-

explanatory why they chose the side with the Warmaster during the Heresy. However,

two years before the beginning of the Heresy, Alpharius and Omegon were apparently

contacted by a secret cabal of xenomorphs that somehow managed to convince them

that the only way to permanently defeat Chaos and so guarantee the survival of the

galaxy was to ensure that Horus was victorious. Whether this revelation was actually

true or just an insidious alien plot to eradicate humanity remains uncertain.

Apocalypse Assets at +55pts apiece:

Omegon: Should Alpharius be slain during play, his twin brother Omegon will

immediately teleport into play at the sport where Alpharius fell. He has the same rules

and equipment as Alpharius. Alpharius’s body counts as a vital objective and the

other player gets any victory or kill points for killing him.

12

Masters and 2 Alpha Legion Sorcerers. Use the rules and options for units of these

types as presented in their army list later in this document.

LORGAR, THE URIZEN, DAEMON PRIMARCH OF THE WORD BEARERS

Lorgar is the most dedicated servant of Chaos ever to emerge from the Imperium. He

truly is the High Priest of the Daemonic Powers. When Lorgar finally achieved true

divinity through his many personal and public sacrifices to the Gods of Chaos, he

remade his First Crozius in the fires of his new faith to better carry his Word across

the galaxy. Although Horus was for a time the most blessed of the Primarchs that fell

to Chaos, Lorgar was ultimately the most favoured of the True Pantheon, for without

Lorgar and the efforts of his Legion there would have been no rebellion against the

False Emperor.

galaxy for his terrible berserker rage in combat and his insatiable lust for violence.

PERTURABO, PRIMARCH OF THE IRON WARRIORS

Perturabo blurred the boundaries between machine, biological matter and daemonic

essence before any other Traitor Astartes, becoming the first and greatest of the aptly

named ‘Obliterators’ and the founding father of their cult. The Iron Warriors’

Primarch also enjoys unusually close ties with the daemonic Soul Forge, leaving some

to speculate as to whether the Masters of that dread Forge are his patrons...

THE BLACK LEGION

The Luna Wolves, the Sons of Horus, the Black Legion – three names, one infamous fighting

force. The Astartes of the Black Legion are the inheritors of Horus, first Warmaster of the

Imperium and most hated monster in the history of the human race. The Legion has set itself

against the Imperium of Man with a mono-maniacal precision that eclipses the efforts of all

other Chaos Legions. Across the Eye of Terror and beyond the Black Legion is the most

renowned and by far the largest of the heretic armies of Chaos, possessing the authority and

logistical support enough to have united the usually disparate followers of the Chaos Gods to

singular great causes on numerous occasions. The Black Legion always capitalise on any

expertise, technologies and manpower they deem useful, looting their enemies’ weapon

systems and striking alliances with renegade warbands, mercenaries and cultists of all kinds if

it serves their purposes to do so.

Black Legion:

All non-Fearless units may use the force commander’s Leadership value for any

Leadership test they are required to make (except Psychic Tests). While the designated

force commander lives all non-Fearless units are also Stubborn and they Regroup

automatically if they end a fall-back move within 12” of a Black Legion Independent

Character or Daemon Prince

Units numbering 10 or 20 models with the Combat Squads rule may be divided equally

into two squads of either 5 or 10 models. The usual Combat Squads rule applies to the

two squads. (see C:SM, p.51 for details).

Wind of Chaos – exactly as in C:CSM, p.88.

Blasphemous Runes: The Traitor Legions often etch their vehicles with the holy runes of the

Chaos Powers. These malign (and perhaps even sentient) sigils shift and pulse in the most

disturbing manner even as they are looked upon. Any enemy units that have been Tank

Shocked or that are testing to see whether they have been Pinned by vehicles or Assault Pods

marked with Blasphemous Runes must add +1 to their Morale roll. Models in Close-Combat

with a Dreadnought marked with a Blasphemous Runes must add +1 to any Morale tests they

are required to make.

Shooting Phase. 0-1 per army.

Daemonic Possession: BS:4. Vehicle ignores Shaken and Stunned results on the Vehicle

barriers between the Warp and Realspace around targeted Psykers. Enemy Psykers within 12”

of a Conduit must roll 1d6 after any successful psychic roll. On a 4+ the enemy Psyker suffers

an immediate Perils of the Warp attack. This means that effected enemies may suffer two

Perils of the Warp attacks if they rolled double 1’s for their preceding Psychic Test. The

effects of multiple Warp Conduits are not cumulative.

Warp Lance: Daemon Weapon. Obeys the following rules:


May fire in the Shooting Phase: Range: 12”, Strength: 6, AP: 3, Assault D6+1.

THE WORD BEARERS LEGION

The Word Bearers were the first of the Adeptus Astartes to embrace what they believed to be

the Truth of gods and men – truth, they maintain, that the Emperor sought to suppress for his

own selfish gain. The Word Bearers bend their every effort to spreading the teachings of the

Urizen, their divine Master, and preach against the stale and repressive creed of the Corpse

Emperor of Mankind. Of all the Astartes Legions the Word Bearers remain united as the First

Chosen and most faithful of all the servants of Chaos drawn from the Legiones Astartes.

Word Bearers:

All non-Fearless units are LD10 and they Regroup automatically if they end a fall-back

move within 12” of a Word Bearers Independent Character / Monstrous Creature

No models may possess any Chaos Mark whatsoever and may only purchase Icons of

Chaos Glory

disturbing manner even as they are looked upon. Any enemy units that have been Tank

Shocked or that are testing to see whether they have been Pinned by vehicles or Assault Pods

marked with Blasphemous Runes must add +1 to their Morale roll. Models in Close-Combat

with a Dreadnought marked with a Blasphemous Runes must add +1 to any Morale tests they

are required to make.

Blessed Crozier: Counts as a single handed Strength 5 Power Weapon.

Chaos Armour: This may be Warp-infused Power Armour or perhaps a harness of

Shooting Phase. 0-2 per army.
