== Description ==
Answering the call of Chaos, many a great fighter has journeyed to the frozen north to throw in their lot with the hordes that muster in the Wastes. They do so because they feel a deep connection with the Ruinous Powers, evident by some form of corruption affecting the minds, bodies, or both. Once pledged, they have no need of food, drink or sleep, for they are nourished by the carnage they wreak. They have nothing but contempt for the weak and the cowardly and go about the business of murder with a vengeance, for there is always a part of the warrior who was that rages against the Chaos Warrior he has become.

== Strategy ==
The earliest available and cheapest anti-large infantry. While Chaos has excellent cavalry and monsters for killing other large units, these are expensive, can't pin as effectively, and relying on them too much for killing cavalry and monsters can result in them being too beat up for anything more if they win. Having a few Halberds to anchor your flanks and as a reserve can be very helpful. Your large units will also win fights with other large units much more decisively if they have some halberds backing them up. They are also fairly effective against infantry.
