Slaves to Darkness – Chaos Legionnaires

The Chaos Legionnaires are an enemy lurking in plain sight. Clad in baroque armour marked with leering daemon faces, they blend seamlessly into Archaon’s vast legions; beneath the surface, however, they are schismatics, upholding a secret religion known as the Dark Creed and worshipping Be’lakor as the rightful Everchosen. The Dark Creed claims that Archaon is a false king – a mortal granted power by the trinkets he carries but unworthy to bear the favour of the gods. Their patron, by contrast, was the first of the Daemon Princes, and the very skies have been cursed through his sinister will. It is a battle that must be undertaken in the shadows, for Archaon dominates vast swathes of the realms. Yet the Legionnaires share the patience of their Dark Master and are tireless in their efforts. Cells of Chaos Legionnaires both serve in Be’lakor’s dedicated armies and fight amongst other Chaos hordes, whispering the tenets of their cult to any receptive ears. Their talent for subterfuge extends to confounding enemies as well, working to intercept orders or leave warriors suddenly isolated from their fellows. For Be’lakor’s legions, little is more satisfying than falling upon such vulnerable enemies and hacking them down with cruel blades and mauls.
