Chaos Spacecraft

This category contains all pages related to the spacecraft used by the worshippers of Chaos.

The forces of Chaos are the archetypal opponents of the forces of the Imperium of Man, and this is apparent in their warships. Chaos warships are generally faster than their Imperial counterparts and armed with longer range Lances and macrobatteries. However they lack armoured prows and many torpedoes, relying on attack craft instead. In combat, Chaos voidships seek to stand clear of the gun range of their opposition, trying to pound them as long as possible with their longer reach and attack craft assaults before closing. In some cases, such as for the Idolator-class Raider and Slaughter-class Cruiser, this is not possible, in which case the Chaos warships use their superior speed to close fast before the enemy is aware of them.

Chaos ships might be opportunistic pirates or raiders, or they might be part of an organised force, like a Chaos Warfleet. The motivation of Chaos voidship commanders ultimately determines what level of opposition they will take on, and how much damage they take before they attempt to flee (if they flee at all).
