The Beasts of Chaos have long dwelt in the wild places of the Mortal Realms. Even during the Age of Myth, these creatures menaced the civilised lands, and their alliance with the primal essence of anarchy has only made them more deadly. Their marauding Greatfrays contain all manner of bestial warriors; the cunning gor-kin of the Brayherds are master ambushers, while the brutes of the Warherds are cursed with an insatiable bloodgreed. Warring alongside them are the Dragon Ogors, ancient inhabitants of Azyr banished by the God-King and empowered by the touch of lightning.

Tzeentch’s minions revel in manipulation – after all, it is not for nothing that their patron is known as the Architect of Fate.
