Warhammer - Warriors of Chaos 1.6 (beta) out now!

Phew, this was certainly a handful - clocking in at 102 pages, this is by far the longest book, almost 20 pages longer than Orcs & Goblins which held the #1 spot until now. For ease of navigation, I've listed all the "generic" units first followed by the "marked" units and lastly special characters, in the same order. This makes it easier to make an Undivided list without needing to scroll through twenty-something pages of Marked units.

As for the changes themselves, it's mostly new additions. You have a whole new Lore of Chaos to play around with for Undivided Wizards, and all the other spell lores have nearly doubled in size - giving you lots of new choices for spells that should make each lore a lot more interesting than before. There is also a whole lot of new Magic Items, both for Undivided and each god. For ease of navigation, the god-specific items are listed separately.

When it comes to new units, there are lots of new things to play around with! New Heroes, new Mounts, new Monstrous Cavalry and a bunch of new Monstrous Creatures and Monsters! I've also added two new Special Characters, while removing five of them - namely the ones that were just generic Chaos Lords with Magic Items that were originally available to all Characters. Those items are now back in the "army pool" so you can still build these characters if you wish.

Anyway, hope you enjoy this update, and many many thanks to my Patreons for your continued support as always!
