Players control small warbands of Chaos worshippers battling in the Eightpoints, a region controlled by the Chaos god Archaon. Designed for fast-paced gameplay, warbands typically consist of around 10-15 models, making it more accessible than larger-scale wargames. The game emphasizes narrative campaigns and objective-based missions, with each warband having unique abilities reflecting their allegiance to different Chaos gods.
