he followers of the Ruinous Powers are determined that, if they cannot gain the Nemesis Crown, then none should do so.

Far to the north of the Old World, sorcerers and shamans cast their sinister runes, scry the lights in the northern skies and study the entrails of sacrificial victims. They seek word of this artefact of power that has arisen in the south, for they dread that the Men of the Empire or the Dwarfs might come into power enough to rival the gods of Chaos themselves.

Darkling councils of fell emissaries have gathered under soul-binding truce, to plan what might be done to undermine the armies marching forth to claim the crown. Chaos Sorcerers whisper their counsel to their lords, and the warbands of the north move according to a new plan. Already, sea-borne Marauders set out to harass the coastal towns of the Old World, the most daring of warlords leading their raiding vessels up the great rivers to attack towns far inland. As the attacks increase, so the attentions of the armies scouring the Great Forest are diverted. Warriors are detached from their efforts to guard against attacks from an unknown quarter, and so the plans of the Sorcerers of Chaos unfold.

Aspiring Champions of Chaos prepare to lead their warbands forth on the trail of war. With an artefact as powerful as the Nemesis Crown in their possession, it may be possible to muster another grand Chaos host, fulfilling whispered prophesies of the End Times, and plunging the world of mortals into ruin and darkness.

And all the while, blood, skulls and souls are offered up to the Ruinous Powers, for whom there is no greater expression of loyalty and faith.

Objective - The servants of the Ruinous Powers seek nothing more (or less) than blood, skulls, and souls. As the armies of Men, Dwarfs, and greenskins converge in the Great Forest, seaborne warlords lead their warbands up the great rivers to attack towns far inland. There, the Hordes of Chaos bring mayhem and slaughter to all who stand before them. With every Hordes of Chaos victory, the Ruinous Powers grow stronger, whilst the forces of their foes are weakened.
