The Chaos Horde army list uses the following units from Codex: Chaos Space Marines, Codex: Imperial Guard and the new entries below. Note: Codex: Imperial Guard is only needed if you wish to include Traitor Fast Attack and Heavy Support units. This list will work perfectly well just using it as an adjunct to Codex: Chaos Space Marines.
| Category | Units |
|---|---|
| HQ | Arch Heretic (counts as Chaos Lieutenant/Sorcerer); Chaos Space Marine Aspiring Champions; Greater Daemon |
| Elites | Big Mutants; Possessed; Daemon packs |
| Troops | Traitors; Mutants (including Plague Zombies); Gibberling Hordes (counts as Nurgling) |
| Fast Attack | Chaos Hounds; Daemonic Beasts; Traitor Recon (Sentinels, Roughriders, Hellhound)* |
| Heavy Support | Defiler; Chaos Spawn; Traitor tank (Leman Russ Battle Tank, Basilisk)* |
*A maximum one Traitor Recon or Tank unit may be chosen per Troops choice of Traitors in the army.
Notes: Units of Traitor troops taken as compulsory choices on the force organisation chart must be maximum strength. Units of Gibbering hordes are not restricted to the number of units with the Mark of Nurgle in the army as they represent lesser spawn, minor demons and a host of other hell-spawned nastiness.
The Lost and The Damned may include the following allied units from Codex: Chaos Space Marines: 0-1 HQ choice, 0-1 Elite choice, 0-2 Troops choices, 0-1 Fast Attack choice. Allied units may not be used as compulsory choices on the force organisation chart. Units with a Mark of Chaos are always Elites choices.
Special Rules
Strategy Rating: The Lost and the Damned have a strategy rating equal to the roll of a D3.
Sentries: A Lost and the Damned Army uses 10 Traitors or Mutants as sentries in scenarios that require them.
Icons and Daemon summoning: The Lost and The Damned often call forth Daemons onto the battlefield. All the rules in Codex: Chaos Space Marines apply to Daemon summoning by the Lost and The Damned. Traitor and mutant units can be upgraded to include Chaos Icons to enable Daemon summoning. Agitators and Bosses may not be Daemonvessels.
Veteran Skills: Only Chaos Space Marine units can choose veteran skills.
Legion Rules: Specific Chaos Legion rules only apply to Chaos Space Marine units and characters of that Legion, not any other Lost and Damned units.
Vehicle upgrades: Vehicles in a Lost and Damned force can only use vehicle upgrades from their 'parent' Codex. For example, a Chaos Defiler can only use upgrades from Codex: Chaos Space Marines while Traitor Leman Russ can only choose upgrades from Codex: Imperial Guard.
New Weapons
Firearms: The dizzying profusion of fiendish weapons used by the minions of Chaos defy strict definition, be they warp-fueled arquebus or semi-organic machine pistols. As such they are categorized as 'Firearms' with the following characteristics.
| Weapon | Range | Str | AP | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Firearms | 24" | 4 | 6 | Rapid fire; gets hot!* |
*As plasma weapons.
Heavy stubber: Popular among the kind of low grade scum that make up the traitor hordes of Chaos legions, heavy stubbers are often stolen from planetary defence force armouries or crudely fabricated among the Daemon worlds of the Eye.
| Weapon | Range | Str | AP | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Heavy Stubber | 36" | 4 | 6 | Heavy 3 (Assault 3 when used by Big Mutants) |
