Chapter Archives is a series by our resident Librarian Misiok that examines the Warhammer 40k factions yet to be added to Dawn of War III. It explains and analyzes the background lore of a faction/race (some factions can come from the same race!), how they came to be and how they can be implemented into DoWIII. These are purely speculative based on the lore and tabletop rules. Take a moment to learn a bit of the immensely rich Warhammer 40k lore and how a faction might work in the game!

maaan, these pictures all get me so freakin' pumped. Chaos is definitely the most badass race there is. cant wait for them to come to this already great game.

Yep, for me Dow3 is a good game as overall RTS, too bad that is not appreciated as Dow game. But oh well. I like this game so I will buy it.

I want specialized marines like Khorne zerkers, rubric marines etc not CSM squad marks with some stupid bloodletters like DoW 2.
Also I'm pretty sure some form of Chaos Terminator will be present..
Ace40k
but i can definitely appreciate it as DoW game
the factions, art style, combat system (melee-vs-longrange) and now the hero units. that all speaks very much DoW to me. only thing that it needs is much more factions like IG, Chaos, Tau, Tyranids, etc but creating and balancing them definitely takes time
Draconix
That's good in my opinion. If the rest of majority, especially those people at steam would appreciate it as you could. Though I understand their dissapointment, but oh well. I enjoyed open beta so i will buy it too.

Glad you're liking the article. Chaos is one of my favourite factions and it makes me excited to know they're pretty much coming cause' a DoW game without Chaos is no game at all

Forgefiend and Maulerfiend as the supers feel odd to me. I can sort of understand the logic behind it, namely that they provide an obvious ranged vs. melee dynamic, but they don't fit the scale of other supers. IMO the Chaos super units should either be Chaos Knights or Greater Daemons, leaning towards the latter for series tradition and to mark them out from LSM. Maybe a Bloodthirster and a Lord of Change for the same melee vs ranged dynamic.

Yeah id rather see greater demons for elite choice over chaos knights. But it would be badass. How about the defiler? Defiler as a 8 or 9 point elite would be badass because they are about the same probably smaller than knights. However i feel like the defiler would be pretty powerful being strong in melee and range.

With the Elite system, I can imagine all sorts of special CM units coming to DoW3 from all different Chaos gods!

I can see a bloodthirster/greater daemon type being the melee super for Chaos (given that the template for such a unit is already made and in the game) with the Forgefiend being the ranged variant. The forgefiend would fit in with DoW3 theme of adding in newer 40k TT models (the wraith/imperial knights being relatively newer additions to the game than say a land raider or avatar of khaine).
