Mathias, Dave and Jurgen are here to talk about the chaos spell decks in the Warhammer Battle Magic boxed supplement of Warhammer 4th edition. Our podcast is now proudly sponsored by Black Arrow…
Uh, so chaos in, uh, regards to magic.
The, um, if we start with a bit of a, uh, looking back, Dave, uh, how was chaos magic working in third edition?
Uh, prior to third, no idea.
[laughs]
Oh, yeah.
[laughs]
Certainly third edition, um, so initially there was demonic magic, um, which was kind of the magic that chaos sorcerers use along with battle magic.
Well, they could also use necromancy, they could use illusionist, elemental.
You know, the same as any other race really.
They had access in different amounts to different lists.
Yeah.
Um, and then along came Realms of Chaos.
Um, we all know the, you know, journey of-
Lovely tomes
... those two books.
Yeah.
Yeah.
[laughs]
Um, uh, and funnily enough, the spells for the, um, for the, um, chaos powers in those, um, are the same spells.
Although how they're worded and how they work are slightly different, but they're the same spells that came along in Battle Magic-
Mm-hmm
... uh, for fourth edition.
So Battle Magic had four, um, chaos spells per one of, of the three gods that use magic.
Obviously, Khorne omitted for obvious reasons.
