Beyond the boundaries of space and time, the Chaos Gods watch the mortal world with ancient eyes. To the Dark Gods, the material world represents the grandest game of all, a world of unrelenting war and carnage where they can vie with one another for absolute power. Most feared of their servants are the Daemons of Chaos, warlike fragments of divine will loosed upon the world. The Daemons of Chaos are the ultimate enemy of all mortal creatures. From their fortresses and palaces in the Realm of Chaos they watch with envious eyes, waiting with unblinking patience for their chance to wreak destruction and dismay upon the world. When that opportunity arises, they seize it greedily, spilling forth to rampage and slaughter in the name of the Chaos Gods. A daemonic host is a terrifying and awesome sight, capable of delivering death in so many ways. Blood-slicked Daemons of Khorne chant brutal praises to their dark deity before leaping forth to claim skulls in his name, whilst Daemons of Tzeentch keep their distance, favouring bolts of blazing sorcery over physical confrontation. Pestilence is the favoured weapon of Nurgle's blight-ridden Daemons. As for Slaanesh's Daemons, they have no favoured method of slaughter – they care only that the deaths they cause are as lingering and painful as possible.

Unless stated otherwise, a model does not have a special rule. Most special rules are given to a model by the relevant entry in its Warhammer Armies book. In addition, a model's attacks can gain special rules because of the equipment it is using. Similarly, a model might get special rules as the result of a spell that has been cast upon it or perhaps even as the result of it being in a particular type of terrain. Where this is the case, the rule that governs the equipment, spell or terrain feature in question will make this clear. Unless otherwise noted, the effects of different special rules are cumulative. However, unless otherwise stated, a model gains no additional benefit from having the same special rule multiple times. Certain special rules partly consist of other special rules, all mentioned in the following pages. Some special rules have an effect at the beginning of the battle, or before the game starts. These effects take place after both armies are deployed and any Deployment special rules have occurred but before the roll for first turn. Some special rules, especially in the Army Books, will affect models of a certain type. Note that special rules and spells such as this only ever affect friendly units from their own army, and will not affect enemy or allied units that happen to be in range. Eventually you are likely to come upon situations where two opposing special rules are in play. In these cases, the two special rules will simply cancel each other out either partially or completely, and neither will have an effect. Most of the more commonly used special rules in Warhammer are listed here, but many troop types have their own unique abilities laid out in their Warhammer Armies book.
