It’s been a tumultuous time in the Mortal Realms of late – the citizens of the Free Cities have had to deal with the ghostly-apocalypse of the Soul Wars, unbound spells rampaging across the land, and now, an old threat has reemerged…
From the wild places of the realms, the true children of Chaos return. And they have not come alone; alongside vast hordes of savage beastmen come hulking mutants and towering monsters ready to lay low any trace of civilisation and return the lands to the primal grip of the dark gods…
This Battletome deals with more than just the brayherds, it compiles many of the bestial creatures of Chaos into a single unholy tome including Bullgors, Dragon Ogors, Tzaangor and more besides. A Beasts of Chaos force represents the untamed inhuman nature of Chaos is all its glory – a single army, with powerful, overlapping allegiance abilities, magical lores, and spells.
And there are some new models on the way in the form of new terrain and endless spells.
First up, the classic symbol of the beast herds is getting a long-overdue miniature – the iconoclastic Herdstone of the dark gods. This towering terrain piece comes complete with the bones of sacrificed victims, corrupted relics and stolen treasures of fallen foes – everything you need to gain the favour and attention of the gods.
As well as providing an awesome centerpiece for your army, the Herdstone also provides powerful in-game benefits that work alongside their new allegiance abilities.
The magics of the Beast of Chaos have always been fittingly raw and untamed, and now the full fury of this dark sorcery can be manifested in three new endless spells. We’ll have news for you soon on exactly what they do, but it seems safe to say that massive flaming, charging bull is probably not a subtle spell…

Battletome: Beasts of Chaos will be in stores in September.
