"A tide of depravity is upon us. The universe trembles under the hooves of the Daemon horde. Mankind has unlocked the doors of the nether-prison and now must pay the price. The weak and the foolish will be the first to fall. None will be spared the ghastly predations of Khorne, Tzeentch, Slaanesh, and Nurgle, nor a host of lesser evils. A temple of degradation will be built over the ashes of the Emperor's Palace."
— The Book of the Last Days, Chapter I, Verses I-VI
The forces of Chaos, also spelled Forces of Chaos, sometimes referred to by the defenders of the
Imperium of Man as the "Archenemy" and as "Renegades" or "Traitors" when they formerly served the Imperium but were corrupted, is a catch-all term that includes all of the myriad mortal and Daemonic servants of the individual
Ruinous Powers of Chaos and of the universal power of Chaos Undivided.
While the
Heretic Astartes are probably the most visible and powerful of the forces of Chaos, they are supported by countless numbers of other Chaos servants, including Human Chaos Cultists, Traitoris Militarum soldiers, the Traitor Titan Legions, the Chaos Knights, the remaining members of the Dark Mechanicum and the legions of Chaos
Daemons.
Many of the mortal servants of Chaos who are not transhuman Heretic Astartes are also known to the Imperium by the term the "Lost and the Damned."
