Content pack: Warriors of Chaos roster. Immortal Empires ownership
- Unmarked Chaos Sorcerer on the Warriors of Chaos roster. Be'lakor's Shadow Legion is a Warhammer III base-game route. The Chaos Warriors Race Pack unlocks Archaon, Kholek and Sigvald. Champions of Chaos unlocks Valkia, Festus, Azazel and Vilitch.
- The hero panel lists Chaos Sorcerer (Metal), (Fire), (Death) and (Shadows) when the faction can recruit them. Marked sorcerers and the Norscan sorcerer of Metal are separate recruitment names.
Pick the lore on the panel
The unmarked entries are Chaos Sorcerer (Metal), Chaos Sorcerer (Fire), Chaos Sorcerer (Death) and Chaos Sorcerer (Shadows). They cast the Lore of Metal, the Lore of Fire, the Lore of Death and the Lore of Shadows. Recruit the entry the hero panel actually offers.
A Chaos Sorcerer Lord leads an army and is a different type. Marked names are separate too: Chaos Sorcerer of Nurgle (Nurgle), Chaos Sorcerer of Slaanesh (Slaanesh), Chaos Sorcerer of Tzeentch (Tzeentch), and Chaos Sorcerer of Slaanesh (Shadows). A Norscan sorcerer of Metal stays on the Norsca list.
Cast from behind the warriors
These sorcerers are champions who seek mastery of the magical arts. Keep the caster behind the Warriors and spend the army's Winds of Magic on a cast the troops can follow. Overcasting spends more of the reserve and can miscast. The battle UI shows that risk on the cast.
Dark Authority follows the character's allegiance and benefits the matching marked or Undivided troops. A lore choice and a mark are different decisions. Read both on the character before you build the rest of the army around them.
Sorcerer or Exalted Hero
Take a Chaos Sorcerer when the army needs a lore. Take an Exalted Hero when the line needs another melee fighter. Neither type opens a new campaign.
The same Winds reserve serves every caster in the army. A second sorcerer changes which spells you can hold ready. It leaves the army on that one reserve.
