OT but I love your avatar. I just got that game today after playing the demo. It is amazing.

Chaos Multiplayer Units – Early Game

When Chaos players choose their hero before the start of a multiplayer match, they will also be choosing which of three Chaos gods that they will follow. This will effect things like the benefits that you get from your shrines or worshipping Heretics.


Chaos Heretics

Although they are lightly armed, Heretics are incredibly useful unit for the Chaos player. These melee units have a number of key abilities that will support your main force. Shrines and worshipping Heretics are a mainstay for Chaos players and can often be found near parts of the map that are highly contentious.

Availability: Tier 1

Abilities:

Doom Blast – Make a Heretic explode with chaos energy, damaging nearby enemies.

Worship – This ability is toggled on and off. It sends the Heretics into an unholy veneration of a Dark God, immobilizing the squad but granting nearby Chaos allies benefits such as increased hitpoint regeneration or infiltrating them so they are not visible to the enemy.
The exact benefits are determined by the hero that you have chosen.

Chaos Shrine – Construct a shrine to one of the Dark Gods. Shrines can damage enemies, heal your units, infiltrate nearby units, or summon units from the Warp to fight for you.
Each of the three gods provides different benefits through the shrine and these are enhanced by ordering your Heretic squad to worship at the shrine. Requires Tier 2.

Upgrades:

Aspiring Champion – An Aspiring Champion is added as a leader to the squad. The Champion increases the durability of the squad, and detects infiltrated units.

Grenade Launchers – Equips four squad members with grenade launchers that are effective against groups of enemies and enemies in buildings. Replaces the Doom Blast ability with Grenade Barrage.


Chaos Space Marines

The backbone of the army, Chaos Space Marines are tactically adaptable infantry that can be equipped with multiple weapon upgrades. Their versatility is enhanced by their ability to absorb a great deal of damage.

Availability: Tier 1

Upgrades:

Eternal War – Permanently increases the melee and ranged damage of the squad.

Mark of Khorne – Dedicating your Chaos Space Marines to the god Khorne changes the squad’s weaponry to mighty chainaxes and plasma pistols, which are effective against all targets. Requires Tier 2.

Mark of Tzeentch – Dedicating your Chaos Space Marines to the god Tzeentch allows them to wield bolters equipped with Inferno Bolts, which are effective against heavy armor and vehicles. Requires Tier 2.

Aspiring Champion – An Aspiring Champion is added as a leader to the squad. The Champion increases the durability of the squad, and detects infiltrated units. Requires Tier 2.



Chaos Havocs

Havocs are the heavy weapons teams for the forces of Chaos and come equipped with a Heavy Bolter that is capable of slaughtering and suppressing infantry. They are best used to kill at long range and can lay waste to vehicles or infantry, depending on their loadout.

Availability: Tier 1

Upgrades:

Mark of Tzeentch – Dedicate your Havocs to Tzeentch and gain powerful lascannons, effective against vehicles. Requires Tier 2.

Mark of Khorne – Dedicate your Havocs to Khorne to wield autocannons. This upgrade also increases their rate of fire with each kill. Requires Tier 2.

Continuing our series looking at the units that Chaos are bringing to the battlefield in the Chaos Rising Expansion, today we’re looking at the mid-game units. (Tier 2)



Chaos Bloodletters

Bloodletters are fearsome daemons with an intense killing instinct and are immune to the effects of suppression. They have a powerful melee attack, allowing them to slaughter enemy units and can use the powers of the Warp to quickly close with the enemy. Using the Warp to appear on top of vulnerable squads is just one of the ways Bloodletters deliver blood for the blood god.

Availability: Tier 2

Abilities:

Warp – Teleport through the Warp to the target location. Whether that’s on top of a squad of Devastator Space Marines or away from an overwhelming force, this ability grants Bloodletters increased mobility.

Warp Shift – Shift Bloodletters partly into the Warp, making them immune to damage but unable to attack. This may allow you to make a graceful exit with your squad, or get through enemy fire that would normally decimate other melee squads.


Chaos Dreadnought

The Chaos Dreadnought comes equipped with an autocannon, allowing it to pour powerful ranged fire on enemy units. The default starting equipment for this unit also includes a power claw, allowing it to damage vehicles that get to close.

Availability: Tier 2

Abilities:

Frenzied Barrage – Unleash a barrage of missiles at the target area that will deal damage over time and suppress infantry. Requires the Mark of Tzeentch.

Blood Rage – Send the Chaos Dreadnought into an uncontrolled rage, attacking any nearby unit – friend or foe – with increased strength and speed. Requires the Mark of Khorne.

Upgrades:

Mark of Tzeentch – Tzeentch’s Mark grants a missile launcher, increasing the Dreadnought’s ranged effectiveness and granting the Frenzied Barrage ability. The Chaos Dreadnought is immobile while upgrading.

Mark of Khorne – The Blood God’s Mark grants a second close-combat claw, turning the Dreadnought into a dedicated melee unit, and gives you the Blood Rage ability.


Chaos Bloodcrusher

Comprised of a Bloodletter riding a bull-headed Juggernaut, Bloodcrushers are shock units that storm into combat, and regain energy by being near melee combat and through Worship. Their speed and lethal attacks, along with their abilities, make them potent infantry killers.

Availability: Tier 2

Abilities:

Furious Charge – Charge at a targeted location, knocking over everything in the Bloodcrusher’s path.

Daemonic Roar – Emit a terrible howl, forcing nearby enemy infantry to flee momentarily in abject terror.

Chaos Plague Marines

Don’t let their slow uneasy gate or corroded armor fool you, Plague Marines can take a beating and are skilled warriors. Their rotted bodies are immune to pain or discomfort, allowing them to fire their weapons normally even while suppressed. These ranged heavy infantry units are armed with bolters and a rocket launcher, allowing them to deal with vehicle armor as well as infantry units.

Just being near a Plague Marine slows enemy units, and when a Plague Marine does succumb to enemy fire, the fallen will explode in a cloud of noxious disease that damages enemies and heals friendly units.

Availability: Tier 2
