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
Chaos Multiplayer Units – Late Game
Our final installment into our series on the forces of the Chaos Space Marines is a big one. It only covers their two late game (Tier 3) units, but they’re both suitably powerful and you will need to keep an eye out for them when the Chaos Rising expansion hits the shelves.
Chaos Predator
Chaos Space Marines field vehicles that are a legacy of their past, now adorned in dark icons and daemonic imagery. The Predator is not just impressive to look at, it is a heavy battle tank that can absorb hits and deliver some serious firepower. Players can dedicate their Predator to one of three gods, each bestowing their own unique benefits on the vehicle, customizing it to your play style or the state of the game.
Availability: Tier 3
Upgrades:
Mark of Tzeentch – Dedicating your Predator to Tzeentch upgrades the vehicle’s weapon to twin-linked lascannons, making it very effective at destroying other vehicles.
Mark of Khorne – The Blood God’s mark increases the Predator’s damage output and movement speed.
Mark of Nurgle – The Plague God grants vastly increased Health at the cost of reduced Movement speed.
Great Unclean One
We first teased you with this guy in our Developer Diary video, ending it on his jiggling belly of innards and jolly laugh. Our holiday greeting message revealed the Great Unclean One in his full glory, and now we look at how this monstrous daemon translates into the game.
As a mass of flesh, the Great Unclean One can absorb a metric ton of damage and laugh it off. This great durability comes at a cost though, he’s expensive to field and not very quick to get around the battlefield.
The Great Unclean One’s massive sword is just one of his many vile weapons that he can bring to bear. Whether it is a swarm of flies or putrid vomit, any enemy will have their hands full when this unit hits the field.
Availability: Tier 3
Abilities:
Vomit – Spew forth the foul contents of the Great Unclean One’s stomach, damaging and debilitating all enemies caught in the foul stream.
Foul Snare – His innards are not there for just looks, they actually serve a valuable purpose. You can use this ability to project the writhing intestines of the Great Unclean One, snaring any enemies near the target and pull them to their doom.
Consume – Low on Energy? Not a problem. Consume the life force of an allied unit to regain Energy. This is yet another reason to keep some expendable Heretics around.
Swarm of Flies – The Great Unclean One stomps the ground, projecting a caustic cloud of flies that damages all nearby enemy units.
Chaos Multiplayer Heroes – Plague Champion
The Plague Champion is a follower of the Dark God, Nurgle. His armor is a vessel for all manner of contagion and pestilence. Fearless and seemingly immune to pain of any kind, the powerful Plague Champion is one of three heroes that you can choose when playing as Chaos in Chaos Rising.
Many of the Plague Champion’s abilities revolve around supporting his allies in their battles or weakening enemy units.

At shrines built to Nurgle, allied units enjoy healing benefits, including the ability to reinforce squads if you command Heretics to worship at your shrine.
Gear & Abilities
The Plague Champion’s innate ability allows him to construct a Heavy Bolter Turret, capable of suppressing enemy infantry and locking down a portion of the map with its withering fire.

By choosing the Chaos Lord, you gain the blessings of the Blood God, Khorne, granting you Bloodletters that spawn at the shrines constructed by your Heretics.
