Warriors of Chaos
Special Unit Tactics

The Special Unit choices of the Army list is where you can find the specialist of the army. Because these units usually specialize, you are advised to use them if you have a tactic that uses them. Also they need to be used sparingly as they will have a higher points cost. And last of all keep them safe by using cheaper units to protect them untill the time is right to let them loose.

Forsaken Tactics

Chaos Chariot Tactics

Ogres Tactics

Ogres are making a bit of a revival at the moment with the release of their 2nd army book. The bonus here is that there are loads of very well modeled new models on the Games Workshop's lists. Games Workshop has a number of classic chaos Ogers available from the mail order department, but these are looking a bit dated.

Ogers are similar to the trolls that we will look at later, however they have one or two advantages, in perticular lower points cost, a higher leadership, and do not suffer from stupidity. However they are not as strong.

The Ogres make great shock troops, a squad of six of these will make a dint in the lines of most front line units. They will not defeat the army on there own, but this not their role. What you are looking for is to 'stess out' the enemy units and find the weak spots.

Marks of Chaos

A major difference between the chaos between the Chaos Ogres and the regular Ogres is the Chaos Ogres get the Marks of Chaos. The Marks of Chaos can be very useful and may be used to surprise your opponent too. And as you know surprise is the root of tactics.

Dragon Ogres Tactics

Trolls Tactics

Several armies have trolls as special units, and the Chaos Trolls are very similar to these. However the Trolls in the Warriors of Chaos have a few extra rules, but they cost an extra 5 points to cover them.

Trolls are fairly fast and tough. This means that they are great shock troops. This means that you can throw them into the massed ranks of the main force ahead of your main army to thin them out and see if any cracks appear.

Mutant Regeneration

The Chaos Trolls get more that the usual regeneration that you find in other armies. With the Mutant regeneration the Chaos Trolls have a chance to Eye of the Gods table too. This means that the more regeneration rolls the Trolls pass, the tougher they become.

The Will of Chaos

Another additional bonus is that the Chaos Trolls get The Will of Chaos special rule. This will make them a bit more resiliant when it comes to when panic tests are requierd.

Chaos Knights Tactics

The Chaos Knights are the heavy cavalry of the Warriors of Chaos army. They are quite pricey in points, but a unit of Chaos Knights can take on even the largest units without support.
