| Chaos: Chosen |
| |
Chosen Look
- Ornate and brightly adorned heavy armor made of strange, curving components decorated with the colors and marks of Tzeentch.
- Uses heavy shields bearing the crest and symbols of the Raven God.
- Wields massive melee weapons that crackle with ruinous power at high levels.
A Chosen Champion of Tzeentch is a sight to behold - warped by the blessings of the dark gods, these hulking behemoths have the power and size to match even the mightiest of mortal creatures. Their thick Chaos armor can ward off the most punishing of blows, while the fell weapons they wield can cleave the heaviest of defenses. However, these "blessings" come at a price - the Chosen is beholden to Tzeentch, and must constantly strive to earn his favor. For the Chosen of Tzeentch this means more than mere slaughter and death. In order to earn the grace of the Changer of Ways, the Chosen must apply guile and trickery as much as brute force. Only through careful planning and deliberate carnage can a Chosen of Tzeentch truly find the favor of their god.

| Chaos: Magus |
| |
Magus Look
- Wears light ornamental armor with elaborate robes.
- Wields a staff inscribed with symbols of Chaos and imbued with dreadful arcane power.
- Rides and fights from an arcane and powerful Disc of Tzeentch at all times.
The magic of Tzeentch is sorcery in its purest form the raw power of the warp unleashed on living flesh. Using this power, the Magus can wreak incredible destruction, but his powers can cause effects more sinister than simple death. The dark magic of the Changer of Ways infects those touched by the Maguss fires, tearing at their souls and bodies, diminishing their hearts and spirits. From atop his Daemonic Disc of Tzeentch the Magus rains corruption over the battlefield, annihilating his enemies with the sheer power of the Aethyr and the massive strength of his own will. |

| Chaos: Marauder |
| |
Marauder Look
- Barbaric, medium-strength armor
- One-handed melee weapons of all kinds.
- Blasphemous offhand mutations that are best left unspoken
In the frozen roof of the world - Norsca - live the many and various northern tribes collectively known as the Norse. Born in that frigid, hostile place, Norsemen are universally powerful gifted with ferocity and strength at arms. Believing themselves to be closest to the gods, they flock to the banners of the great Chaos Champions in the hopes of proving themselves worthy of favor. These brutal Norse warriors are the Marauders a fanatical throng whose only interest is destruction. Bred for war, dedicated to the gods, endlessly violent. This is all a Marauder knows or cares to be.

| Chaos: Zealot |
| |
Zealot Look
- Essentially unarmored, in heavy robes and other ritual vestments and regalia
- Wields sacrificial daggers and other wicked instruments of pain.
- Carries many talismans, fetishes, and other occult paraphernalia about his person
The Ruinous Powers have many gifts to offer their mortal followers and enemies alike some of them quite terrible, but some of them powerful indeed. Zealots are among the most devout of the followers of the gods of Chaos, and as such it is they who are called upon to convey the will of the powers to their minions. It is Zealots who mark the followers of their patron deity, and who are charged with spreading their faith to the vulnerable and needy masses. They are not the subtle cultist, but the zealous preachers, and they offer open obedience to their dark masters. |

| Dark Elves: Disciple of Khaine |
| |
Few are the select chosen that survive the reveries of the Death Night. Fewer still are those who leave the Cauldron with eyes of molten brass, burning with the hatred of our Dark god. These true chosen are taken into the cult and trained in the most secret of rites, emerging as masters of death second to only Khaine himself.
- Haridar of Har Ganeth
Disciple of Khaine look:
- Wickedly barbed armors made of heavy leather and steel
- High collared gorgets with partial facial masks
- Wields twin ritual blades, or carries a single blade and ritual chalice
The chosen dark priests of the bloody handed god, The Disciples of Khaine, can be found on the frontline of any Druchii assault. Using wicked ritual blades, a Disciple harvests the essence of their enemy and offers it to Khaine in exchange for fell blessings and dark powers. These dark gifts allow the Disciple to tend to the needs of the Dark Elf host, mending bones, suppressing pain, and even raising critically injured warriors to fight again. The Disciple of Khaine is the shepherd of war, ensuring the bloody slaughter can continue in the name of their dark god. |

| Dark Elves: Sorceress |
| |
a sorcereress must walk the dark paths of the realm of chaos, the deep pits of the oceans and the bowls of the fiery mountains in her quest for knowledge. the channeling of the raw winds of chaos is what gives the sorceress her power. the creatures of the chaos hells will bow to her will in the end. such power is vast but dangerous and the aspirant to the dark convent of sorceresses must be courageous and strong .
- from the sixth book of secrets by kaladhtoir of clar karond
sorceress' look:
- ornate robes of finely cut silks, embroidered in dark
- wickedly pointed headdresses and circlets encrusted in gems
- wields twisted staves of metal and wood that pulse with dark energies
in times of war the witch king calls upon his convents of sorceresses to rain death and destruction down upon the target of his ire. their magical prowess will blight the warriors of the opposing army, scorch their souls from their bodies and bring ruination and curses aplenty upon their heads. |

| Dark Elves: Witch Elves |
| |
Do not desire the touch of a Maibd, a bride of Khaine, for her life is wholly given
to the Lord of Murder, and he is a jealous god, unwilling to share his chosen ones.
- Ruerl Blackhand, Lord of Har Ganeth
Witch Elves Look
- Lightly armored and agile, capable of closing long distances rapidly
- Wields long sacrificial daggers coated in deadly poisons
- Armor is adorned with razor sharp hooks, and wickedly barbed metal plates
Witch Elves are the maiden-elves who are wedded to Khaine, the Lord of Murder, in midnight rites of blood sacrifice and magic. The decadent fragile looks of the maidens of Ulthuan are nothing compared to the intoxicating beauty of the Witch Elves. Witch Elves go to war alongside the Dark Elf armies, eager to prove themselves in the eyes of their god. For them the battlefield is just another temple of Khaine, and the screams of the dying are praises sung in honor of the bloody-handed god. |

| Dwarfs: Engineer |
| |
Dwarf Engineer Look
- Encased in light weight armor (loaded for bear with tools and widgets)
- Armed to the teeth with guns and grenades (and assorted other gadgets)
- Wields spanners and engineering hammers in melee
To a Dwarf engineer an explosion is the ultimate expression of mechanical advantage. It should come as no surprise that the skills of the Dwarf Engineer embody these principles. His creations range from guns to grenades, Dynamite to Gadgets, he is a lethal ranged opponent who will shower you with lead and blow you to bits as you attempt to close in.
Dwarven Engineers excel when fighting multiple challengers because his fiery assaults are able to overwhelming enemies who group closely together. The Engineer offers a blend of flexible firepower which makes him a lethal and intelligent fighter. |

| Dwarfs: Hammerer |
| |
Hammerer Look
- Well armored in medium weight armor (decorated with dwarfen motifs)
- Wears imposing and elaborate open face helms (with continuing dwarfen motifs)
- Wields a massive great hammer (powerfully designed and decorated)
The driving force behind the Hammerer and his choice of weapons is the theory that when it comes to heavy blunt objects SIZE MATTERS!!! The Hammerers job is to bash things good, and in keeping with true Dwarf nature hes selected the best tool for the job, the great hammer.
With weapon firmly in hand there are few more lethal melee challengers in all the world, and fewer still that can hope to match the Hammerers combination of ability, drive, and total thrust. Though he is not so well protected as an Ironbreaker, this restriction is offset by his killing power. |

| Dwarfs: Ironbreaker |
| |
Ironbreaker Look
- Fully armored in heavy Gromril armor (shiny and ornate)
- Uses large heavy duty shields (elaborate and well crafted)
- Wields an axe or a hammer (also in the fancy dwarfen style)
The Ironbreaker is the archetypal dwarf grumpy, argumentative and distant. But, he will be your best friend on the field of battle, as any blow struck against his allies is a Grudge that is guaranteed to be repaid, as it is Dwarven tradition. The Ironbreaker wears gromril armor, and is known for practicing his elite weapon craft. He is a committed guardian to the community. This dwarf is proof that even against the most powerful attacks dwarves stand by their allies and guarantee their wellbeing even among the anarchy and confusion of battle. It is said that there are few warriors in the world who can boast they are as tough as an Ironbreaker, and none that can prove it.

| Dwarfs: Rune Priest |
| |
Rune Priest Look
- Well armored in medium, rune-inscribed armor
- Wields an ornately carved rune staff
- Marks all his equipment with runes of power and protection
Dwarfs dont typically go in for magic like many other things accepted by humans and their allies. They see magic as much too new-fangled and unreliable; but runes are a whole different story, they have an old power. Their carving is a ritual, so superior that the results are as expected as rocks rolling down hill. The keepers of this art form are known as the Runepriests. These are adepts and scholars who spend their lives learning the language of the runes. With their craft they can produce effects of dramatic power, detaining their enemies with the power of the earth. They can also harden their allies against the most damaging of attacks, and heal their wounds.

| Greenskins: Black Orc |
| |
Black Orc Look
- Fully armored in heavy armor (with lots of spikes)
- Large very heavy shields (also with lots of spikes)
- Choppas and great choppas (with spiky bits stuck on)
Armed and armoured to fight in the thick of melee as a warrior and tanker, the Black Orc matches physical hardiness with a down and dirty brawlers fighting style that makes him the heart of any war band. With choppa and shield in hand, he can face down any foe unshaken. However, it is his unique approach to fighting that makes him as deadly with his fists as with either of those tools. Hell knock you down so you cant fight back, and then kick you while youre down. Theres no honor among Greenskins, and theres no such thing as a fair fight and thats the way he likes it! |

| Greenskins: Goblin Shaman |
| |
Goblin Shaman Look
- Lightly armored in tattered goblin robes (with critters and bits stuck on)
- Carries an elaborate shamans staff (with more critters and nastier bits)
- Kitted out with shamanistic trappings (Still more critters and bits)
Hes got Waaagh!, and hes not afraid to use it! What more can you say about a lad who gets the big Waaagh! going when the boyz roll out? The Shaman channels the primal bloodlust of the Greenskins into effects both beneficial and baleful. He keeps the lads up and running far beyond their normal capabilities and calls down the wrath of the twin deities, Gork and Mork, onto his enemies. The one feeds the other and around he goes, delivering a deadly combination of healing magic and stomping, pummeling power without pause. |

| Greenskins: Goblin Squig Herder |
| |
Squig Hunter Look
- Lightly armored in leather and equipment harnesses (often made from Squig skins)
- Outfitted with numerous and varied Squig herding tools (made from anything and everything)
- Carries a bow or spear for personal combat (or uses his Squig pipes for calling Squigs)
One-on-one a Squig is no match for the likes of a Hammerer or Ironbreaker, but the problem there isnt the match, its the numbers. The toothy embrace of a pack of Squigs has brought down many a hearty warrior, and a Squig pack is never more effective than in the hands of an expert Herder. Using tools ranging from pipes to goads to bits of giblets, the Squig Herder drives his minions to a killing frenzy while fighting safely behind the lines. The Herders own ranged fire combines with the attacks of his minions to challenge any foe. |

| Greenskins: Orc Choppa |
| |
Orc Choppa Look
- Light to moderate armor allowing flexibility and mobility
- Wields choppas in various and deadly combinations
- Physically grows more menacing as his rage mounts
Even the most stable Orc is only a hair's breadth from coming completely unglued in the heat of battle. It is to the great relief of their opponents and allies alike that most of them manage to keep it together. There are some Orcs, however, that just cant be bothered with that sort of thing. These are simple creatures simply violent, simply well armed, simply a bloody nightmare to keep from running blindly into the fray and they are among the most deadly of opponents one will ever face in the heat of a melee. These are Choppas, named for their weapon, and their weapon named for them, and their frenzy is to be feared. |

| High Elves: Archmage |
| |
While Lesser races must study magic in its corrupted broken form, our Mages harness its power as pure mystical energy. Our minor spells, those Lores taught to the humans by might Teclis, are but a pale reflection of the power that can be wielded by an Asur fully trained in the magical arts of the White Tower.
- Loremaster Haydrel, Archmage of the White Tower
AArchmage's looks:
- Ornate embroidered robes with high collars and large billowing sleeves
- Graceful circlets and ornate headdresses engraved with powerful runes of protection.

This is the greatest repository of magical knowledge in the world, compiled over the centuries by High Elf mages and scholars, many of whom still dedicate their lives to the accumulation of magical lore. The most powerful of these scholars are known as Archmages, and are capable of manipulating all the winds of magic weaving powerful sorceries known only as High Magic. |

| High Elves: Shadow Warrior |
| |
We have lost our families, our lands, and our innocence. Even our kin look upon us with suspicious eyes, for all they remember are the atrocities of Malekith and his ilk, not the nobility of those who remained. It is for these reasons we fight this Shadow War, for redemption can only come from tears and blood. Only when Malekith breathes his last, his heart pierced by Nagarythe steel, shall we ask Lileath for forgiveness. Until that day nothing will stand in the path of our vengeance...
- Filamar the Swift, Shadow Warrior of Nagarythe
Shadow Warrior's looks:
- Elegantly tooled light leather and scale mail armor
- Thick hoods and mantles, draped over concealing cloaks
- Wields finely crafted longbows and a thin razor sharp Elven longsword
When Nagarythe was riven by civil war, most of the Elves there sided with the Witch King, later becoming Dark Elves. Those faithful to the Phoenix King swore to fight Malekith and his treacherous forces. These ill-fated Elves became the Shadow Warriors. The darkest, most sinister and brutal of all the High Elves. The Shadow Warriors are masters of ambush and guerrilla warfare. They strike swiftly and noiselessly with deadly accurate volleys from their longbows, before charging forth to slay any survivors with a flurry of blades. |

Swordmaster Look
- ily armored with intricately tooled heavy armor layered over supple scale mail.

- ds the Great Sword of Hoeth, a long and elegant blade containing powerful enchantments.
The White Tower of Hoeth, the greatest seat of learning in the world is home to a cadre of warrior-scholars, known as the Swordmasters of Hoeth. These warriors train arduously, honing their exceptional agility, and mastering every nuance and facet of sword fighting. Swordmasters wield the greatswords of Hoeth, elegant blades often six to seven feet long from pommel to tip. Such is a Swordmasters skill with the blade that he can raise his sword, sever an enemys neck and return his sword to rest before a lesser warrior can even raise a shield to block him. |

Bright Wizard Look
- Effectively unarmored, wearing elaborate and often enchanted robes and regalia.
- Uses a wizards staff as a medium for spell casting and for melee in a pinch.
- Shrouded with flames which grow over him and sprout from his equipment in combat.
The Bright Wizard is a master of destruction using fire-based magic. Fire is the basis of the wizard and all his abilities. By accepting the fire inside himself the bright wizard is surrounded in flames, but a good wizard will direct this firestorm against his enemies. This inferno kills the enemy with heat and firepower until they explode causing them to be destroyed by arcane flame. The bright wizard gains his energy from their enemy, themselves and their surroundings.

Knight of the Blazing Sun Look
- Heavy, burnished brass plate armor, adorned with colorful plumage and elaborate gilding.
- Swords of all kinds - one-handed (with shield) and massive two-handed weapons.
- Massive shields bearing the device of the Blazing Sun.
The Knights of the Blazing Sun are an order of templars devoted to the cult of Myrmidia Goddess of warfare and protector of civilization. While the order began in the southern portions of the Old World, its members have spread throughout the Empire in recent centuries. Each Knight has spent a lifetime training both physically and mentally and it is the latter that differentiates them from other warriors in the Old World. Though they are fierce warriors, the Knights of the Blazing Sun rarely travel as a large unit. In small groups and even more often individually, the Knights of the Blazing Sun travel the Empire seeking opportunities to test their skills, serve as advisors and commanders and to prove themselves on the battlefield.

| The Empire: Witch Hunter |
| |
Witch Hunter Look
- Lightly Armored, with long cloaks and coats, wide-brimmed hats and buckled tunics.
- Wields off-hand pistols and main-hand rapiers, swords and torches.
- Ornamented with other tools of their craft such as stakes, daggers, relics, chains and emblems of the Cult of Sigmar or the Empire.
The Witch Hunter is a tireless foe of Chaos, dark magic and witchery of all kinds. As the taint of Chaos continues to spread and more people are drawn to the dark arts, the Witch Hunters role has become increasingly important to the Empire. Fast, cunning and deadly, they dispense merciless judgment upon any who serve Chaos. While the people of the Empire agree that the Witch Hunters work is critically important, rare is the citizen who does not feel pangs of dread when they lay eyes upon one, for it is understood that most Witch Hunters would sooner burn an entire village to the ground than see a single follower of Chaos go free. |
