The exceptions are units from the World Eaters or Emperor’s Children Legions: all WORLD EATERS units must have the KHORNE keyword if they are able to do so, and all EMPEROR’S CHILDREN units must have the SLAANESH keyword if they are able to do so. You do not have to choose a Mark of Chaos for a unit if you do not want to if you do not, it is assumed that the unit has not dedicated itself to a specific Dark God. Note that PSYKERS cannot have the KHORNE keyword. You then simply replace the keyword in every instance on that unit’s datasheet with one of the following: KHORNE, TZEENTCH, NURGLE or SLAANESH. When you include such a unit in your army, you must nominate which Mark of Chaos that unit has. If a Heretic Astartes datasheet does not specify which Mark of Chaos a unit has, it will have the keyword. Khârn the Betrayer has the KHORNE keyword).

Some datasheets specify the Mark of Chaos for a unit (e.g.

The Chaos God a unit is dedicated to is denoted by the Mark of Chaos that it bears. Many Heretic Astartes units dedicate themselves to a single Chaos God, whilst others worship the entire pantheon in all its dark glory. The rules and abilities for the Death Guard and Thousand Sons Legions are detailed in their own codexes, and both of the datasheets that describe the forces of the Fallen can be found later in this book. As a result, you cannot choose one of these keywords when determining which Legion a unit in this codex is from. The Death Guard, Thousand Sons and FALLEN deviate significantly in terms of organisation and fighting styles. You then simply replace the keyword in every instance on that unit’s datasheet with the name of your chosen Legion.įor example, if you were to include a Chaos Lord in your army, and you decided he was from the Alpha Legion, his Faction keyword is changed to ALPHA LEGION and his Lord of Chaos ability would then read: ‘You can re-roll hit rolls of 1 made for friendly ALPHA LEGION units within 6" of this model.’

When you include such a unit in your army, you must nominate which Legion that unit is from. If a Heretic Astartes datasheet does not specify which Legion it is from, it will have the keyword. Abaddon the Despoiler has the BLACK LEGION keyword, so is from the Black Legion). Some datasheets specify what Legion the unit is from (e.g. For simplicity we will refer to all of these as Legions, even though in truth Renegade Chapters have a different genesis. Warhammer Quest: Blackstone Fortress – Traitor CommandĬhaos Space Marines belong to a Legion or Renegade Chapter. Warhammer Quest: Blackstone Fortress – Escalation
