Chaos
Chaos, also known to its servants as the Primordial Truth or the Primordial Annihilator, and to the Imperium of Man as the Archenemy, is the universal and usually malign metaphysical force embodied by the malevolent intelligent entities comprised of psychic energy that live in the Immaterium.
The entities who embody Chaos are mostly Daemons, but the term also encompasses those mortals who have thrown in their lot with Chaos, ranging from simple peasants and/or manufactorum labourers who serve as Chaos Cultists, to Traitor Imperial Guardsmen, planetary militia, Imperial nobles, planetary governors, and even the mighty Chaos Space Marines and Traitor Titan Legions of the Dark Mechanicum.

Many Astra Militarum troops have turned to Chaos over the centuries, including entire regiments of the Astra Militarum's Imperial Army predecessors that followed the Warmaster Horus into battle against the Imperium during the Horus Heresy.These Traitors represent the primary mortal troops available to the forces of Chaos, now known as the "Traitoris Militarum" in High Gothic to the defenders of the Imperium. Even ten millennia later, Chaos Lords are known to attract these followers of Chaos into their warbands and personal armies, which vary greatly in both size and strength.
Chaos Cult kt24
Wherever bitterness and discontent fester, so does the worship of the Dark Gods take hold. Zealous bands of cultists throng to the banners of malefic powers. The most monstrous of these zealots are warped beyond recognition, sprouting chitinous claws, leathery wings and all manner of mutations with which to slaughter their enemies.
Fellgor Ravagers kt24
Of all the mutant Beastmen in thrall to the Dark Gods, Fellgor Ravagers believe themselves the greatest and most powerful. They stalk space hulks, underhives and warp-tainted ruins, using their keen senses to track unsuspecting prey through the darkness before striking and butchering their foes with savage glee.
Gellerpox Infected kt24
Corrupted by a gruesome techno-organic affliction, the Gellerpox Infected are nightmarish meldings of flesh, machinery and rampant disease. Most of these hideous beings began as loyal servants of the God-Emperor. Those origins are long gone, however, wiped away by supernatural sickness and a compulsion to spread their infection across the stars.
Legionaries kt24
Legionary kill teams are bitter veterans who possess centuries of combat experience. Some are little more than ravening killers who desire only to reave, slaughter and despoil. Others are devoted worshippers of the Dark Gods, seeking to conduct fell rituals in the hope of pleasing their infernal patrons and attaining greater power.
Nemesis Claw kt24
The Night Lords are synonymous with terror and murder, for their favoured mode of warfare is the unfettered application of brutal, overwhelming force. They show no mercy whatsoever, eschewing all subtlety and guile for wanton bloodshed and destruction.The Night Lords do not worship any of the four major Chaos Gods individually, but acknowledge them equally in the form of Chaos Undivided as they ruthlessly spread terror and fear amongst the galaxy's inhabitants. The Night Lords are experts in the use of terror tactics to win battles and demoralise their foes before the main combat even begins.
Plague Marines kt24
Corrupted sons of Mortarion, Plague Marines are suffused and bloated with rot and disease. Though compact and slow moving, Plague Marines are horrifyingly resilient, trudging relentlessly towards their objectives while spreading contagion in their wake.
