Chaos Titan - Chaos Titan: A Chaos Titan is usually similar in form and tactical function to its Imperial Titan counterparts, but its long exposure to the warping influence of Chaos has transformed many of them into amalgamations of machine and Daemon. In some cases, the crew has merged with their machine, making it impossible to tell where one ends and the other begins.Other crews have given themselves and their weapons over solely to the service of one of the four great Ruinous Powers of Chaos, and have been transformed to represent that god's portfolio.During the Horus Heresy, half of the ancient Mechanicum, including several hundred Titan Legions, turned to the worship of Chaos, taking their mighty god-engines with them and thus forming part of the Dark Mechanicum. Many other Titan Legions have fallen into such corruption in the millennia since the end of the Heresy as well.
Chaos Titan - Feral-class Scout Titan: Feral-class Titans are twisted versions of the standard Imperial Warhound-class Scout Titan and are used for the same tactical purposes by the forces of Chaos. To their eternal shame, the Collegia Titanica bears the stain of disloyalty to the Emperor like so many other branches of the Imperial armed forces. Like the Legiones Astartes, many of the Titan Legions also sided with Horus against the Emperor during the dark days of the Horus Heresy, and eventually fled to the dark refuge known as the Eye of Terror when their master was defeated.Within the forces of Chaos, the dreaded Chaos Warhound-class Titans, reclassified as Feral-class Titans by the Imperium, have seen millennia of service in the Traitor Titan Legions' pursuit of the Long War against the Imperium of Man, becoming utterly corrupted by the daemonic powers of the Warp and the fickle favour granted to these vile war machines by the Ruinous Powers.Many of these corrupted god-engines easily date back to long before the Horus Heresy and have had their Machine Spirits wholly corrupted and possessed by the Warp-touched powers of Chaos. The Titan's Machine Spirit and its damned crew become possessed by Daemons and are doomed to serve the will of the Chaos Gods in battle for all eternity.
Chaos Titan - Ravager-class Battle Titan: Ravager-class Battle Titans are the Chaos versions of the Imperial Reaver-class Titan. Within the forces of Chaos, the Reaver-class Titans are ancient and irreplaceable relics left over from the days of the Horus Heresy. To differentiate these corrupted Reavers from their Imperial counterparts, the Imperium has redesignated these war engines Ravager-class Battle Titans, though this name is rarely used.They are the remnants of those Traitor Titan Legions who sided with the traitorous Warmaster Horus during those dark times and whose blasphemous names still echo with dread thousands of Terran years later. The majority of these monstrous god-engines have seen millennia of service with the Chaos forces and have long since become utterly corrupted by the touch of the Ruinous Powers and the Warp. Others are salvaged Imperial god-engines taken from the battlefield as spoils of war, much to the eternal shame of their former masters.These captured Battle Titans have been subjected to bloody rituals in order to consecrate them to the service of the Chaos Gods. Over time, Chaos Reaver Battle Titans become an amalgam of Daemon and machine, their once living crews fused to the controls and their souls subsumed into the Titan's tainted Machine Spirit, the god-engine itself now a single being dedicated to destruction and butchery, reborn to spend an eternity of battle in servitude to Chaos.Revered and tended to by the Warp-tainted Hereteks of the Dark Mechanicum, lesser servants of the damned view these towering engines of destruction as incarnate gods of fire and death. Many of the lesser beings who serve Chaos make obeisance to them, offering sacrifices of captives and even their own lives to slake these towering monsters' thirst for blood.
Chaos Titan - Chaos Warlord-class Battle Titans: Amongst the forces of Chaos, Warlord-class Battle Titans are ancient and irreplaceable relics left over from the days of the Horus Heresy. They are the remnants of those Traitor Titan Legions who sided with Horus at that time.The majority of these monstrous war engines have seen millennia of service with Chaos forces and have long since become utterly corrupted by the Chaos Gods and the malign influence of the Warp. To differentiate these corrupted Warlords from their Imperial counterparts, the Imperium has designated these war machines with different class names that have been happily adopted by these Titans' Renegade crews.The Chaos Warlord-class Titan has 4 different variants depending on which Chaos God the Titan is aligned with. Even though there are different versions of the Chaos-altered Warlord-class Titan, the most commonly seen variant operating with the forces of Chaos is the Banelord Titan.
Chaos Titan - Banelord-class Titan: The Banelord-class Titan is dedicated to the Blood God Khorne and has been modified with a long tail that ends in a large cannon of various types, while another such cannon protrudes from the Titan's daemonic mouth. The Banelord also has access to three special weapons: a Havoc Missile Rack, a Hellstrike Cannon and a Doomfist. This is the most common class of Chaos Warlord Titan.
Chaos Titan - Plaguelord-class Titan: The Plaguelord-class Titan is dedicated to the Plague God Nurgle.
Chaos Titan - Painlord-class Titan: The Painlord-class Titan is dedicated to the Pleasure God Slaanesh.
Chaos Titan - Warplord-class Titan: The Warplord-class Titan is dedicated to the Lord of Change Tzeentch.
Chaos Titan - Chaos Emperor Titans: Imperator-class and Warmonger-class Emperor Titans are the greatest war engines ever created by the Imperium of Man. Those few Emperor Titans to fall into the hands of the Traitor Legions during the Horus Heresy that still exist today are rarely deployed on the battlefield and only when the forces of Chaos have decided that they are willing to pay any cost to secure a victory.Most Chaos Emperor Titans have been possessed by Greater Daemons which have transformed these great war engines into towering leviathans of Warp-corrupted steel and adamantium, a true incarnation of the power of Chaos in the material realm.
Chaos Titan - Notable Chaos Emperor Titans: Abominatus - Abominatus, the Despoiler of Worlds, was a special class of Chaos Imperator-class Titan that was fused with a Greater Daemon of Khorne.Augmenautus Rex - The Chaos Imperator-class Titan Augmenautus Rex fought against the Legio Invicta and the Legio Tempestus forces defending the Forge World of Orestes in 779.M41. It vaporised the Legio Tempestus Warlord-class Titan Orestes Magnificat with a single shot. The Princeps of the Legio Invicta Warlord-class Titan Sicarian Faero, Vancent Kung, linked his MIU (Mind Impulse Unit) with those of Titans from three battlegroups to take down the Augmenautus Rex with an assault coordinated by a single mind. Such a measure, although forbidden, was required as the Imperator-class Titan's Void Shields were so potent that they would have withstood a more dispersed assault. It is said that after the Augmenautus Rex had fallen disabled, it took another ten solar minutes of sustained fire to destroy it.Bubonis - Bubonis, the Daemonic Plague Titan of Nurgle, was a special class of Chaos Imperator-class Titan that was fused with a Greater Daemon of the Plague God.Caligula - The Caligula is a Chaos Imperator-class Emperor Titan that is similarly aligned with the Blood God Khorne and host to one of his Greater Daemons.Dies Irae - The most infamous of these monster war machines was the Imperator-class Emperor Titan Dies Irae (literally "Day of Wrath" in High Gothic) which stormed the battlements of the Imperial Palace during the Battle of Terra and had originally been assigned to the 63rd Expeditionary Fleet, the WarmasterHorus' own fleet, throughout the Great Crusade. It was eventually destroyed 10,000 standard years later in the 41st Millennium, during an Iron Warriors campaign against the Imperial world of Hydra Cordatus, where the Dies Irae engaged in battle with an entire demi-legion of twelve Imperial Titans, destroying almost all of them before finally being stopped by the Warlord-class Titan Honoris Causa.Skylok - Skylok, the Winged Titan of Tzeentch, was a unique Chaos Imperator-class Titan, which was created through its fusion with a Greater Daemon of the Lord of Change.
Chaos Titans (List) - Chaos Titans (List): This is a list of all notable Chaos Titans. It does not include any Imperial Titans or other Renegade Titans of the Blackshield Legios whether they serve the Dark Gods or not.This is only a select list, as not every Titan that has ever existed in the Imperium of Man or in service to the Ruinous Powers is known. A separate list exists for Imperial Titans.

Chaos Undivided - Chaos Undivided: Followers of Chaos Undivided venerate the force of Chaos itself, seeing the four major Chaos Gods as a single pantheon to be worshipped equally as different emanations of the same universal force.Of all the worshippers of Chaos, they serve Chaos in its purest form. They can interpret the meaning of Chaos in a variety of ways, including as a single god or force, worship the four major Chaos Gods equally, or favour one slightly over the others.The Chaos Lords and Daemon Princes of Chaos Undivided are at an advantage in their ability to unite any of the forces of Chaos under their leadership, even if they would normally worship opposing gods like Khorne and Slaanesh, so the warbands of Chaos Undivided are always the most diverse.The majority of the Traitor Legions worship Chaos Undivided, including the feared Black Legion of Abaddon the Despoiler, the greatest of the Chaos Champions and the Warmaster of Chaos. He is essentially the one mortal champion of all the Chaos Gods who possesses the authority to unite all the forces of Chaos under one banner and for one purpose.Champions of the creed are branded with the Chaos Star, the Mark of Chaos Undivided, somewhere upon their bodies. A follower of Chaos Undivided may also honour the lesser Daemonic entities of the Warp if they are likely to aid them.Other devotees of Chaos view Chaos Undivided as a unified whole, with the various Ruinous Powers serving as the different aspects of a single god of Chaos. They may give their service to one Chaos God but are likely to never gain much favour with an individual power because of their veneration of Chaos as a whole.Finally, others seek to use the power offered by Chaos as a means to their own selfish ends. This is an often risky path and only two outcomes exist, the attainment of Daemonhood or ultimate damnation as a Chaos Spawn and the devouring of one's soul by the Ruinous Powers.

Chaos Vehicles - Chaos Vehicles: This is a list of all known Chaos Vehicles and Aircraft used by the armies of the Chaos Space Marines, the Lost and the Damned, and the daemon hordes of the Dark Gods. Whilst lacking the more technologically-advanced vehicles and weapons available to the elite branches of the Imperium's military like the Inquisition and many Space Marine Chapters, the Forces of Chaos maintain a large and varied armoury.It features everything from ancient war machines that have not been used by the Imperium in thousands of standard years, vehicles and other technology designed and built by the Hereteks of the Dark Mechanicus, and vehicles that were constructed or forged in the Warp itself. The Forces of Chaos have one of the most unique vehicle armouries in the entire Milky Way Galaxy.
Chaos Vehicles - Possessed Vehicles: The war machines of the forces of Chaos are nigh limitless in their variety and blasphemy, yet there exists amongst them a class that transcends sanity itself and sets them entirely beyond the physical laws of the mortal realm.These are the so-called "possessed" war engines, vehicles crew and controlled not by living operators but by things drawn forth from the Warp itself. In theory any vehicle can be possessed, and the process appears to be steeped in murderous and arcane ritual that is the subject of lifetimes of heretical study. Regardless of the specifics, these vehicles are invested with a daemon which is sealed within their armoured shell.Hatches and access points are closed and warded so that the daemon cannot escape, and its flanks are covered in binding sigils. Thus bound within what amounts to a mobile tomb and an armed and armoured shell, the daemon is able to exist within realspace in a manner ordinarily denied to it.Possessed vehicles radiate palpable waves of malevolent intent and their vision ports and sensor blocks pulse and flicker with the unclean light of the Immaterium. In battle, they crave the blood of the enemy with scant regard to their master's strategy and invested with the power of the Warp, they are able to shrug off attacks that would cripple a mundane vehicle of the same type.As potent as these daemonic vehicles are, they are only ever fielded with great caution. In between battles they must be forcibly restrained with heavy chains and runes of binding. They are wont to turn upon allies if no foes are nearby and in the case of transport vehicles, they have been known to consume those who travel within their armoured troop bays.Most dangerous of all is the moment the possessed vehicle's outer hull is finally breached by enemy fire, for at that instant the wards are likely to fail catastrophically and the daemon within will be banished back to the depths of the Sea of Souls, claiming the lives of any caught within the Warp-fuelled blast of effect as they reclaim their freedom.
Chaos Vehicles - Chaos and Renegade Space Marine Armoured Fighting Vehicles: The following are all known ground vehicles that are used by the Chaos Space Marines of the Traitor Legions and their Renegade Space Marine counterparts:
Chaos Vehicles - Assault Bike: The Assault Bike has been used by the Forces of Chaos since before the Horus Heresy, when the Traitor Legions had yet to turn against the Emperor of Mankind. The Assault Bike is used by the Chaos Space Marines in much the same way they are used by their Loyalist counterparts. The Assault Bikes used by Chaos Space Marines are similar to the ones used by their Loyalist counterparts, although Chaos Bikes are usually covered in various spikes and spurs that are used to cut enemies apart as they pass by. Chaos Assault Bikes are used as fast-moving reconnaissance vehicles to scout out enemy positions and eradicate those units which are too slow to pose a threat.
Chaos Vehicles - Attack Bike: The Attack Bike is no longer used by the Chaos Space Marines from the Traitor Legions for unknown reasons, but are still employed by Renegade Space Marine Chapters. The Attack Bike was used by the Traitor Legions since before the Horus Heresy, and it is unknown why they have fallen out of use.
Chaos Vehicles - Basilisk: Although the Basilisk is mainly used by the Imperial Guard, during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy the Space Marine Legions would also make use of them for their extreme range and firepower, since the Legions had little in the way of their own artillery. The Basilisk is still used by several of the Traitor Legions, most notably the Iron Warriors.
Chaos Vehicles - Bombard: The Bombard is used in much the same way as the Basilisk within the armouries of the Traitor Legions. They can most commonly be found in the armouries of the Iron Warriors, who favour them for their extreme firepower.
Chaos Vehicles - Contemptor Pattern Dreadnought: The Contemptor Dreadnought is considered a relic amongst the forces of the Imperium, having been developed during the Great Crusade and used by all of the Space Marine Legions. It is no wonder that the Traitor Legions came to possess these ancient machines in their armoury, as many of the occupants of these machines fought during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy. These Dreadnoughts are armed with weapons and other aberrations created by the Hereteks of the Dark Mechanicus, making them powerful foes on the battlefield.
Chaos Vehicles - Deimos Rhino: The Deimos Rhino was the most common variant of the Rhino transport used during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy. The Deimos Rhino was used in their millions during these campaigns, yet they have all but become extinct in the armouries of the Loyalist Space Marine Chapters who prefer the newer Mars Pattern Rhino. Unfortunately, even the Traitor Legions have mostly replaced their collection of these vehicles with the newer Mars Pattern variant.
Chaos Vehicles - Deimos Predator Destructor: The Deimos Predator Destructor, much like the Deimos Rhino, has become almost extinct in the armouries of both the Traitor Legion and the Loyalist Astartes Chapters. The Deimos Predator variants known as the Deimos Predator Executioner and Deimos Predator Infernus have also been nearly replaced. It is unknown if the Traitor Legions ever converted any of their Deimos Predator Destructors into the Deimos Predator Annihilator variant.
Chaos Vehicles - Dreadnought: The Chaos Dreadnought, mostly the Mark IV and Mark V patterns, have been a staple of the Traitor Legions' armouries since the Horus Heresy. Although, unlike their Loyalist counterparts, the Chaos Dreadnought is treated as an animal and is chained and bound when not in use. The thousands of standard years of confinement within the ceramite hull of a Dreadnought have driven many of their occupants insane, and they will kill anyone who gets near them, friend and foe alike. Many Dreadnoughts' insanity, combined with constant Warp exposure, has transformed them into the corrupted and twisted Helbrute walkers.
Chaos Vehicles - Falchion: The Falchion is a rare vehicle even amongst the armouries of the Loyalist Space Marine Chapters, and is just as rare in the armouries of the Traitor Legions. The Falchion, once a mighty symbol of the Emperor's might, has become a symbol of the terrible power of Chaos. Renamed the Decimator, the once noble form of the Falchion has been covered in spikes and Chaotic Iconography, and its mighty weapon that was once used to spite the foes of Mankind, now seeks only to destroy the servants of the Corpse Emperor.
Chaos Vehicles - Fellblade: The Fellblade was used by the Space Marine Legions during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy as heavy armour support. These massive tanks were the pinnacle of Imperial technology, featuring advanced weapons and systems that are all but completely lost to the Imperium now. Many of these great vehicles were destroyed during the Great Scouring, and their number is still at an all-time low, rarely being seen on the battlefields of the late 41st Millennium.
Chaos Vehicles - Helbrute: The Helbrute is a variant of the Chaos Dreadnought that is a twisted mockery of the Space Marine Dreadnought he used to be, combining the firepower of a small main battle tank with the mind of a frenzied psychopath. Each Helbrute holds a living Astartes within its plated metal chest -- a Chaos Space Marine driven over the edge of madness by the never-ending cycle of battle that defines the Long War.
Chaos Vehicles - Land Raider: The Land Raiders deployed by the Traitor Legions of the Chaos Space Marines are over 10,000 Terran years old and overwhelmingly date back to the time of the Great Crusade and the Horus Heresy in the early 31st Millennium. These vehicles are the same Land Raiders that the Traitor Legions used during the Battle of Terra and with which they fled into the Eye of Terror following the end of the Heresy and the Great Scouring.
Chaos Vehicles - Land Raider Proteus: The Land Raider Proteus was the first Land Raider used by the Space Marine Legions during the Great Crusade. The Proteus was eventually replaced by the more advanced Land Raider Phobos design. The Forces of Chaos still make use of Land Raider Proteuses that are blessed by Chaos Undivided in the late 41st Millennium, though these vehicles are rare and usually twisted beyond recognition. These vehicles can also feature the armoured sponsons of the Armoured Proteus variant.
Chaos Vehicles - Malcador Assault Tank: The Malcador Assault Tank was used by nearly all of the Space Marine Legions during the Great Crusade, but was eventually phased out with the introduction of the Land Raider. Yet, this does not mean all Malcadors were simply traded out overnight, as by the time the Horus Heresy broke out many Legions still maintained several Malcadors within their armouries. The Traitor Legions no longer make use of the Malcador, yet it can still be found within the armouries of the Traitor Guardsmen of the Lost and the Damned.
Chaos Vehicles - Mastodon: The Mastodon was a massive, super-heavy assault transport used by the Space Marine Legions during the Great Crusade. Due to the vehicle's enormous bulk and slow speed, it is presumed that most were abandoned or scuttled during the Great Scouring as it is no longer found within the armouries of the Traitor Legions.
Chaos Vehicles - Medusa: The Medusa, like the Basilisk and the Bombard, is used amongst the armouries of the Traitor Legions for artillery support. They can be found in the armouries of the Iron Warriors, who favour them for their long-range firepower.
Chaos Vehicles - Plaguereaper: The Plaguereaper is a Chaos-corrupted variant of the Baneblade super-heavy main battle tank used by the Imperium of Mankind's Imperial Guard. The Plaguereaper is used by the Forces of Chaos affiliated with Nurgle, the Chaos God of plague, decay and corruption. The Plaguereaper has been distorted beyond all recognition by the "gifts" bestowed upon it by Nurgle, and it has been transformed into a gurgling fortress of corruption surrounded by a cloud of pestilence and disease.
Chaos Vehicles - Predator Destructor: The Predator Destructor tank has been the iron fist of the Traitor Legions since the days of the Horus Heresy, and it is the most common Predator variant used by the Chaos Space Marines. The Forces of Chaos have used Predator tanks in every conceivable theatre of war, from the civil wars that broke out between the Traitor Legions following the attempted cloning of Horus to the Black Crusades of Abaddon the Despoiler. The Predator Destructor and its Annihilator variant is used by all of the Traitor Legions, and all Renegade Space Marine Chapters that have turned against the Imperium.
Chaos Vehicles - Rhino: The Traitor Legions who escaped into the Eye of Terror at the end of the Horus Heresy brought their many Rhino APCs with them. The Rhinos used by the Forces of Chaos have all been modified and outfitted in innumerable ways, all of which are deemed blasphemous by the Adeptus Mechanicus. The vast majority of Rhinos in service to the Forces of Chaos are of the newer models, as these are both captured from Loyalist Space Marine Chapters or are ceded to Chaos forces when a Chapter has turned Renegade. Rhinos captured from the Imperium usually have all of their Imperial iconography and symbols of allegiance defaced or removed.
Chaos Vehicles - Rhino Advancer: The Rhino Advancer variant of the Rhino was used by the Space Marine Legions during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy. The Rhino Advancer is no longer used by the Imperium or the Traitor Legions.
Chaos Vehicles - Sonic Dreadnought: The Sonic Dreadnought is a variant of the standard Chaos Dreadnought. The Sonic Dreadnought differs from the standard Chaos Dreadnought by having its long-range weapons replaced with Sonic Weapons. The Sonic Dreadnought is used almost exlusively by the Emperor's Children Traitor Legion and their many fragmented warbands.
Chaos Vehicles - Spartan Assault Tank: The Spartan Assault Tank was used on both sides of the Horus Heresy, and after the death of Horus at the hands of the Emperor, the surviving Traitor Primarchs and their Legions fled Imperial space, most to the Eye of Terror. These Legions took their Spartan Assault Tanks with them, where they would be corrupted and twisted by the malign powers of the Warp. Spartan Assault Tanks used by the Traitor Legions are armed with weaponry no longer used by the Imperium, such as Reaper Autocannons, and pintle-mounted Combi-Weapons. The vehicle's crew may even be permanently fused to the vehicle itself, or the tank may be controlled by Daemons.
Chaos Vehicles - Vindicator: The Vindicator has been in use by Imperial forces since the Great Crusade, and it has hardly changed since those turbulent days so long ago. The Space Marine Legions that sided with the corrupted Warmaster and Primarch of the Luna Wolves, Horus Lupercal, used their Vindicators against the Loyalist forces of the Emperor during the Horus Heresy. The Traitor Legions used hundreds of Vindicators during their Siege of the Imperial Palace on Terra at the end of the Heresy, where the vehicle's extreme firepower overwhelmed the extensive Imperial fortifications and helped the Traitors get ever closer to the Imperial Palace.
Chaos Vehicles - Whirlwind: The Whirlwind was the Space Marine Legions' primary artillery vehicle during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy. The Traitor Legions do not use the Whirlwind any longer, the reasons for this are unknown to the Imperium.
Chaos Vehicles - Armoured Vehicles of the Lost and the Damned: The Following is a list of all known vehicles used by the forces of the Lost and the Damned:BanebladeBasiliskBombardColossusChimeraGriffonHellhoundHydraLeman Russ Battle TankLeman Russ DemolisherLeman Russ ExecutionerLeman Russ VanquisherMacharius Heavy TankMacharius VanquisherMacharius VulcanMalcador Assault TankMalcador AnnihilatorMalcador DefenderMedusaMinotaurPathcutterSalamanderSentinelShadowswordTestudoValdor Tank Hunter
Chaos Vehicles - Chaos Aircraft: The following is a list of all aircraft used by the Forces of Chaos:
Chaos Vehicles - Caestus Assault Ram: The Caestus Assault Ram is one of several types of assault rams that was used by the Space Marine Legions during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy. Assault rams are used for boarding actions during void battles and are capable of quickly placing boarding parties directly aboard enemy spacecraft. The Caestus Assault Ram is the most common assault ram used by the Adeptus Astartes, due to the craft's high speed and phenomenal durability, which makes it highly prized by many Space Marine Chapters. The Forces of Chaos no longer make use of the Caestus Assault Ram in the late 41st Millennium.
Chaos Vehicles - Dreadclaw: The Dreadclaw is an ancient assault boat design very much like the current Drop Pod that was used by the Space Marine Legions during the Great Crusade and the Horus Heresy and is still in service amongst the Traitor Legions during the late 41st Millennium. Dreadclaws, like the Loyalist Space Marines' Drop Pods, are used to rapidly deploy squads of Chaos Space Marines onto a planet's surface from orbit. The Dreadclaw assault boats are usually deployed from Chaotic Battleships and Cruisers engaged in a planetary assault. These starships will often bombard the landing zone before the Dreadclaws touch down, clearing them of any opposition. They are no longer used by the Loyalist Chapters due to their unnaturally intelligent and aggressive Machine Spirit.
Chaos Vehicles - Doomfire Bomber: The Doomfire Bomber is an older bomber aircraft that was used by the Forces of Chaos prior to being replaced by the super-heavy Harbinger Bomber.
Chaos Vehicles - Hell Blade: The Hell Blade is an interceptor and air superiority fighter aircraft that is used by the Forces of Chaos. The Hell Blade is a blasphemous fusion of advanced technology and daemonic forces created by the corrupted Hereteks of the Dark Mechanicum. The craft was designed on the Dark Forge World of Xana II located deep within the Eye of Terror and was created as a replacement for the aging Swiftdeath Fighter formerly used by the Forces of Chaos as their primary interceptor.
Chaos Vehicles - Hell Claw: The Hell Claw is a known variant of the Hell Blade interceptor. There is little information in Imperial records pertaining to this craft.
Chaos Vehicles - Hell Fang: The Hell Fang is a known variant of the Hell Talon Fighter-Bomber. There is little information in Imperial records pertaining to this craft.
Chaos Vehicles - Hell Talon: The Hell Talon is a fighter-bomber that is used by the Forces of Chaos, and is a relatively recent addition to their arsenal. The Hell Talon, like the Hell Blade air superiority fighter, is another product of the malevolent masters of the damned Forge World of Xana II located deep within the Eye of Terror. It is believed that the Hell Talon was either developed as a variant of the Hell Blade or was designed alongside the Hell Blade using the same process as they are extremely similar in design. The Hell Talon was designed to replace the aging Doomfire bomber formerly used by the Forces of Chaos as their primary bomber craft.
Chaos Vehicles - Locust Fighter: The Locust Fighter is an aircraft used by the Forces of Chaos. There is little information on this craft in Imperial records.
Chaos Vehicles - Stormbird: The Stormbird was used by the Legiones Astartes as their primary means of deploying forces during combat as well as their primary source of air support during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy eras in the late 30th and early 31st Millennia. Before the development of the Thunderhawk gunship, the Stormbird was often considered the lynchpin of any Space Marine Legion, as it was able to fulfill many combat roles. The Stormbird was fully void-capable as well as functioning as an atmospheric orbital drop ship, a heavy ground attack gunship, or as a bomber. This aircraft was able to quickly carry Space Marine forces from orbiting starships down into the midst of a battle, while at the same time providing supporting fire against enemy ground or air targets. The Stormbird is now rarely seen in use by the Traitor Legions in the late 41st Millennium, as they have been almost entirely replaced by the Thunderhawk Gunship.
Chaos Vehicles - Storm Eagle: The Storm Eagle is a heavy assault gunship that was used by the Space Marine Legions as a heavy air support unit. Storm Eagle gunships will follow a Thunderhawk gunship into battle, where it can lend its weapons to a devastating aerial assault. The Storm Eagle mounts an impressive amount of firepower for an aircraft of its size and is also capable of transporting twenty Chaos Space Marines directly into the thick of a ground assault. The Storm Eagle is still used in limited numbers by the Traitor Legions in the late 41st Millennium, though those examples still in working order have often been corrupted by the Warp, are covered in blasphemous Chaotic iconography and may have had their Machine Spirits replaced by a possessing daemon.
Chaos Vehicles - Swiftdeath Fighter: The Swiftdeath Fighter is an aging interceptor fighter craft used by the Forces of Chaos. The Swiftdeath Fighter is slowly being phased out and replaced with the Hell Blade interceptor.
Chaos Vehicles - Tormentor Fighter-Bomber: The Tormentor Fighter-Bomber is an aging fighter aircraft that is slowly being phased out of service by newer Chaos aircraft.
Chaos Vehicles - Thunderhawk: Thunderhawks used by the Chaos Space Marines are similar to their Imperial counterpart in nearly every way. However, Thunderhawks used by the Traitor Legions are usually twisted and disfigured by their time spent in the Eye of Terror, where they are affected by the tides of the Warp. Chaos Thunderhawks are also usually customised by their Chaos Space Marine owners and covered in blasphemous Chaotic iconography. Many Thunderhawks in service to the Traitor Legions also have their Machine Spirits replaced by a possessing daemon, essentially transforming them into Daemon Engines. The Thunderhawks used by Chaos Space Marines are used to transport their ground troops and vehicles to a planet's surface and back into orbit to a waiting mothership.
Chaos Vehicles - Thunderhawk Transporter: The Thunderhawk Transporter was used in great numbers by the Space Marine Legions during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy to transport their vehicles from ships in orbit to the surface of a planet. Thunderhawk Transporters used by the Traitor Legions are usually twisted and disfigured by their time spent in the Eye of Terror, where they are affected by the tides of the Warp. Chaos Thunderhawk Transporters are also usually customised by their Chaos Space Marine owners and covered in blasphemous Chaotic iconography. Many Thunderhawk Transporters in service to the Traitor Legions also have their Machine Spirits replaced by a possessing daemon, essentially transforming them into Daemon Engines.
Chaos Vehicles - Chaos Daemon Engines: The following is a list of all known Chaos Daemon Engines used by the Forces of Chaos:
Chaos Vehicles - Death Wheel: The Death Wheel is a Daemon Engine that takes the form of a large, self-propelled, spike-encrusted siege wheel that when deployed careens around the battlefield before finally charging toward an enemy fortress and crashing through the wall, shooting out all the spikes within it to horrifically impale the defenders within.
Chaos Vehicles - Decimator: The Decimator is a Daemon Engine created from a horrific amalgam of human and xenos technology fused together and brought to unholy life by the darkest Warp sorcery. Decimators are nothing more than daemonic engines of death, standing taller than even the mighty Contemptor Pattern Dreadnoughts used by the Adeptus Astartes. The Decimator is believed to be an attempt to bolster the ranks of such ancient devices that still serve with the Traitor Legions and if this is the truth, then it is feared that many warriors of the Imperium will fall before these deadly machines.
Chaos Vehicles - Defiler: A Defiler is a massive Daemon Engine in the service of the Traitor Legions and it is a truly potent beast of war, mounted upon six massive spine-legs. It is twice the size of most other Daemon Engines and is possessed of a temper to match. Each Defiler is roughly tank-sized, and both extremely violent in its actions and indiscriminate in who bears the brunt of its wrath.
Chaos Vehicles - Forgefiend: A Forgefiend is a Daemon Engine used by the Traitor Legions and the forces of the Dark Mechanicum. The Forgefiend was devised by Dark Mechanicum Warpsmiths to sow death and destruction amongst enemy forces from afar. The Forgefiend is roughly centauroid in form and stands on four powerful legs. The daemonic beast's two arms are replaced with twin weapon-mounts that carry hell-forged parodies of Imperial armaments.
Chaos Vehicles - Heldrake: The Heldrake is a winged Daemon Engine of Chaos Undivided that plummets out of the skies like a living comet, hurtling towards enemy aircraft and crashing claws-first into them from above. Each Heldrake is a vicious predator, hell-forged deep within the Warp. These monstrous creatures take cruel joy in diving down upon the unsuspecting air support of their enemies in order to shred them into pieces with its scything wings and rune-carved talons. Heldrakes are usually found within the ranks of the Traitor Legions, attaching themselves to the bottoms of Chaos warships and waiting until the ship reaches low orbit of its target planet. Then the Heldrake will plunge into the world's atmosphere and engage enemy forces in the war-torn skies.
Chaos Vehicles - Maulerfiend: A Maulerfiend is a Daemon Engine used by the Traitor Legions and the forces of the Dark Mechanicum. Unlike its counterpart the Forgefiend, the Maulerfiend was designed by the Warpsmiths of the Dark Mechanicum for close-range combat. Maulerfiends thunder towards their foes like giant attack beasts loosed from the leash. The eyes of the beasts glow with the balefire of the Warp as ectoplasmic drool drizzles down through their great fanged maws. The Maulerfiend's primary limbs end in prehensile Power Claws powerful enough to tear an Astartes Dreadnought limb from limb. Should a Maulerfiend catch a squad of less protected warriors, it will scissor them apart or simply squeeze them into paste with a flex of its claws and a growl of satisfaction.
Chaos Vehicles - Soul Grinder: A Soul Grinder is a massive Daemon Engine of Chaos, a diabolic fusion of daemon and gigantic war machine fuelled by dark malevolence and its own irrepressible desire to destroy. Dwarfing even some of the mighty Greater Daemons in stature, these ironclad behemoths are nigh unstoppable -- great metallic juggernauts whose many limbs are armed with piston-powered claws and daemonic weapons. Those that dare stand against them are swatted aside like bothersome insects or crushed into an unrecognisable pulp. Xenos monstrosities caught within a Soul Grinder's steely grip are ripped in half and enemy tanks are crushed as if they were made of rotten wood.
Chaos Vehicles - Wirewolf: A Wirewolf is a type of Daemon Engine that was encountered by Imperial forces during the Sabbat Worlds Crusade. All of the the Wirewolfs encountered were in the service of Magister Anakwanar Sek, the commander of the Chaos militia known as the Sons of Sek. Wirewolves, like all Daemon Engines, are machines powered by a trapped daemonic entity, although unlike most Daemon Engines used by the Forces of Chaos, Wirewolves can take a variety of shapes and forms, all depending on their maker's will. These range from knights in full armour to actual hounds.
Chaos Vehicles - Brass Scorpion: The Brass Scorpion is a massive, multi-legged warmachine shaped in the image of the ancient Terran scorpion and is completely dedicated to the service of the Blood God Khorne. The machine is one of the largest Daemon Engines ever encountered by the Imperium, dwarfing its smaller counterparts such as the Defiler and the Decimator.
Chaos Vehicles - Blood Reaper: The Blood Reaper is a Daemon Engine used by the Forces of Chaos that is completely dedicated to the service of the Chaos God of war and bloodshed Khorne. The Blood Reaper is a large, towering Daemon Engine that is literally bristling with weapons.
Chaos Vehicles - Blood Slaughterer: The Blood Slaughterer, also known as the Blood Slaughterer of Khorne, is a large, gore-splattered Daemon Engine made of brass and black iron that is dedicated to the service of the Chaos God Khorne. The Blood Slaughterer has been encountered in many different forms by the Imperium since the Horus Heresy.
Chaos Vehicles - Blood Throne of Khorne: The Blood Throne of Khorne is a Daemon Engine in the form of a great chariot employed by the daemons who serve the Blood God Khorne. It is usually driven by a powerful Herald of Khorne who stands high in master's favour and is pulled by twin Bloodletters. Its appearance can dramatically enhance the morale and killing power of a legion of Khornate daemons or mortal servants of the Blood God. The Blood Throne is a baleful echo of the mighty dais upon which Khorne himself resides within the Realm of Chaos.
Chaos Vehicles - Cannon of Khorne: The Cannon of Khorne is a massive Daemon Engine that takes the form of a giant cannon on wheels. The Imperium has no other information on the vehicle.
Chaos Vehicles - Cauldron of Blood: The Cauldron of Blood is a Daemon Engine used by the Forces of Chaos that is completely dedicated to the service of the Chaos God of war and bloodshed Khorne. The Cauldron of Blood rumbles into combat as an embodied testament to the Blood God's murderous ideals. The vehicle is a Daemon Engine capable of operating on its own accord when the possessing daemon spirit takes control, but also makes use of a crew of Chaos Cultists loyal only to Khorne. The machine features a massive cauldron located on the top of the vehicle that is filled with the boiling blood of Khorne's enemies. This blood is fired forth from a weapon on the front of the vehicle known as a Blood Cannon.
Chaos Vehicles - Death Dealer: The Death Dealer is a Daemon Engine used by the Forces of Chaos that is completely dedicated to the service of the Chaos God of war and bloodshed Khorne. The Death Dealer is a massive Daemon Engine whose role on the battlefield is that of a mobile siege tower in which it carries resolute warbands of fanatical Khornate Berserkers into battle. The front of the Death Dealer is comprised of a gigantic mechanical construct that resembles a Khornate warrior and is equipped with fearsome close-combat weapons.
Chaos Vehicles - Doom Blaster: The Doom Blaster is a super-heavy Daemon Engine used by the Forces of Chaos that is completely dedicated to the service of the Chaos God of war and bloodshed, Khorne. The Doom Blaster crawls forwards on heavy, clanking treads with the gaping maws of its quad-mounted Doom Mortars menacing the enemy from afar. The Doom Mortars are able to lob a thunderous carpet of shrapnel-packed shells amongst the enemy targets, tossing troops and vehicles aside with their close packed barrages until there is nothing left but bleeding remnants to be crushed beneath its heavy treads as the war machine advances.
Chaos Vehicles - Lord of Battles: The Lord of Battles is a colossal Daemon Engine used by the Forces of Chaos that is completely dedicated to the service of the Chaos God of war and bloodshed, Khorne. The Lord of Battles is the greatest of the Daemon Engines in the service to Khorne, and possibly any of the other Chaos Gods. This daemon-machine is the largest Daemon Engine known to the Imperium, and is comparable in size to a small Titan. The Lord of Battles is a towering construction of Warp-forged black iron and brass covered in defensive Runes of the Blood God that protect it from psychic attack. A Greater Daemon of Khorne, a Bloodthirster, is the potent daemonic spirit unwillingly bound into this construct for the greater glory of the Blood God.
Chaos Vehicles - Lord of Skulls: The Lord of Skulls is a super-heavy Daemon Engine of Chaos that is dedicated to the service of the Chaos God Khorne. These massive Daemon Engines are created by the most ambitious and skilled of Warpsmiths deep within their black forges located within the Eye of Terror. Each Lord of Skulls is a grotesque battle construct armed with a multitude of powerful daemonic weapons.
Chaos Vehicles - Pillager: Pillagers stride into battle atop four massive daemonic legs. These Daemon Engines of Khorne are striding behemoths of pure destruction, whose armour plates have been warped and taken on a completely organic look and feel. The Imperium has no other information on the vehicle.
Chaos Vehicles - Skull Cannon of Khorne: The Skull Cannon of Khorne is a Daemon Engine in the form of a great chariot employed by the daemons who serve the Blood God Khorne. The Skull Cannon of Khorne is a large armoured cannon positioned on the top of the main body of a chariot known as a Blood Throne of Khorne, to which two Lesser Daemons of Khorne known as Bloodletters are chained.
Chaos Vehicles - Tower of Skulls: The Tower of Skulls is a massive Daemon Engine used by the Forces of Chaos that is dedicated to the service of the Chaos God of war and bloodshed, Khorne. The Tower of Skulls is hammered out of arcane Warp-forged brass and black iron at the very foot of the Blood God's mighty throne located within the Realm of Chaos and infused with the essence of countless damned souls.
