When
building a Warhammer army, the best place to begin is its respective
Army Book. These books are indispensable, not only providing you
with the complete rules and army lists for your Beasts of Chaos
army, but also giving you guides for painting, assembling, and
selecting your army. Plus, you'll learn the background story of
these terrible creatures, a story you can find nowhere else.

Warhammer Armies: Beasts of Chaos
|
Warhammer Armies: Beasts of Chaos is one in
a series of Warhammer Armies supplements. Each book in the series
provides an in-depth description of an army, its history, and its
heroes. Inside you will find:
The Wild Herd
A complete description of all the troops that make up the armies
of the Beastmen.
Magic and Trophies of the Beast
Full rules for Beastmen Bray-Shamans and the three Chaos spell lores,
magic item descriptions, and details on the Marks of the Chaos Gods.
Beastlords of Dread Legend
Rules for your army to include the mighty Beastlord Gorthor, the
cunning Khazrak the One-Eye and his vicious beast-hound Redmaw,
and the twisted embodiment of Chaos itself, Morghur, Master of Skulls,
who mutates all who approach him.
Collecting a Beastmen Army
This reference for collectors introduces the miniatures and suggests
colour schemes for your Beastmen army.
The
Beasts of Chaos army is a truly varied force that contains all manner
of disturbing and powerful creatures rallying under one banner.
Their vicious raids strike without warning, and they are intent
only on mayhem and slaughter. Their bestial appearance belies the
cunning intelligence of the Beastmen, and their ambushes are enacted
with brutal swiftness. Beasts of Chaos concentrate on closing with
their foes and rending them limb-from-limb, and it is in close combat
that the Beasts excel. The Beastmen rampage towards the foe in great
and unruly hordes and are backed up by such fearsome creatures as
Minotaurs, savage Centigors, and the horrendously powerful Dragon
Ogres.
The Beasts of Chaos Army Book is not just a stand-alone
book it is also fully compatible with Warhammer
Armies: Hordes of Chaos and can use army list entries,
special rules, and magic items from that volume. Details of how
to do so can be found in the relevant sections of the Beasts of
Chaos Army Book.
Once you get the Army Book in your hands, you'll need
some troops to command and form the core of your growing army. Next,
we'll take a look at the Beast Herd boxed set, the perfect place
to find your first recruits.

Gathering your Troops.
