Marauder Chieftain (Marauder Chariot)
Chieftains lead their Northmen marauders in Chaos' name, hurling themselves into the fray, where they remain until the very end.The tribes of Northmen that flock southwards with any Chaos invasion are known by those in their path as Chaos Marauders. These savage barbarians fight with heavy axes and cruelly barbed flails, and charge in great howling mobs towards the foe. They have little fear of dying in battle, for they know that they fight under the scrutiny of their gods, and that cowards are beneath their deities' notice. The Chieftains that lead these warriors are a daunting sight, brooding hulks of muscle and hair whose bodies are covered in the scars and trophies of battle. Bearing weapons worn from dealing a thousand mortal injuries to those foolish enough to face them, these savage leaders are independent and fierce. These battle-hardened killers are the products of a people so steeped in conflict that, even in times of prosperity, they will fight to the death for the honour of leading the next raid.

Abilities
- Fight or Die!
There is no other choice. There never was. - Rage
These warriors have something of an anger management problem. Funnily enough, no one has yet found a safe way to broach the issue. - Foe-Seeker
There are those who wish nothing more than to be at the heart of battle, seeking foes to vanquish.
Attributes
- Encourage
This unit provides a Lord's aura and an encouraging unit will receive the larger of the two bonuses. - Hide (forest)
This unit can hide in forests until enemy units get too close.
Strengths & Weaknesses
- Anti-Infantry
Anti-infantry units have an advantage against targets that are smaller than a horse. This advantage can be a damage bonus against small targets, superior weight used to smash through lighter enemies, or an explosive attack from range that affects a large area. - Melee Expert
Melee Experts might have a very strong Charge Defence. Use them to counter other strong melee units. When facing them, it is best to take them out before they can enter melee.
