Welcome to "Codex Chaos", a one-stop resource for background information regarding the Chaos Space Marine armies of Warhammer 40K. All documents listed herein are copyrighted Games Workshop. With the exception of spelling and grammar editing they remain in their original form, no words were changed or moved from their original print in Codex Chaos ©1996. I created this site as the old codex is out of print and the new Codex Chaos ©1999 lacks this information, which I feel is necessary for truly understanding the army as it is used in the game. | |||||||||||||||||||

Tzeentch is known by many titles including Changer of the Ways, Master of Fortune, Great Conspirator and the Architect of Fate. He is the Great Sorcerer, the god of magic and master of the mutable time-stream. Tzeentch guides unwitting mortals along paths destined to increase his own power, though they never realize their part in his plan. He shows favor to those who plot and scheme, especially sorcerers and politicians. He favors the cunning over the strong, the manipulative over the direct, the spin-doctor over the plain-speaker, and the liar over the truthful. There are many Chaos Cults dedicated to Tzeentch throughout the Imperium, despite the attempts of the Inquisition to suppress them. A large number of these Cults are formed specifically to practice sorcery, conduct psychic experiments, or spread the influences of arcane forces in some other form. Tzeentch Cultists, guided by the master manipulator himself, are notoriously difficult to discover, while the complex multi-layered plots they conspire to carry out are diabolically cunning and supremely, insidiously, evil. Tzeentch is the most weirdly and disturbingly formed of all the Chaos Gods. His skin crawls with constantly changing faces, which leer and mock those who look upon him. As Tzeentch speaks these faces repeat his words, often with subtle but important differences in meaning. Tzeentch is almost as powerful as Khorne but his power takes a very different form. Tzeentch is the master of magic and subtlety. It is Tzeentch who holds the Realm of Chaos beyond time and space and it is he who watches over the destiny of the material universe. His plots are complex and interwoven, and he is the principle architect of the secret alliances amongst the Dark Gods. | |||||||||||||||||||
