We can’t hold back the tide of Chaos any longer – the forces of the Empyrean spill from the Warp with Faction Packs in tow, and today you’ll find out all about their rules and detachments in the new edition.
Detachments
Like the Space Marines and xenos before them, the forces of Chaos are flush with new army building options, some of which you may have seen in our series of Faction Focus articles. Now, you can download the complete set of changes and updates below.
We also heard from a little bird that you’d like to see all the detachments our loveable heretics have available, their Detachment Points, and Force Disposition. Behold!

Rules Updates
Aligning with the other factions, these Faction Packs standardise the updated rules for the start of 11th edition, so you’ll want to base everything else off this kicking off point. That includes changes to Aircraft and other units, so make sure you take a good look at your faction’s pack before sending your troops off to battle.
We’ve also had a few questions about the FRAME keyword that several units have been given in these Faction Packs. This new keyword groups together all of the larger miniatures that don’t have bases in their standard configuration, so all of the rules that normally apply to these units – such as deciding which point on their body to measure from – always work as intended, even when a hobbyist gives them a lovely scenic base or other modification.
FRAME 17.02
Some models do not have a base; many of these are MONSTER/VEHICLE models. Such models have the FRAME keyword as do some other large models. Whenever a rule refers to a model’s position in relation to anything else on the battlefield (e.g. when measuring distances), if that model has the FRAME keyword, unless otherwise stated, measure to and from the closest point on that model (so not necessarily from its base, if has one).
When rotating a FRAME model as part of a move, if that model does not have a base, turn it any amount around its central axis, while keeping it upright.
We’ve only got one crop of Faction Packs left, covering the Adepta Sororitas, Astra Militarum, and all the other Imperial armies that aren’t clad in eight-foot-tall suits of power armour. We’ll see you then, faithful servants of the God-Emperor Corpse Emperor.
