Nurgle
The hideous Plaguecrushers and Plagueships of Nurgle spread disease and rot in their wake.

Slaanesh
Between the Hellrammer’s fanatical crews, the Hellslicer’s sharp blades cutting your sails to ribbons and the siren calls of the Hellship turning even your own crew against you, the minions of the Prince of Pleasure are not to be trifled with.

Sailing on wings of magic the Great Winged Terror descends at lightning speed, while Chaos Sorcerers unleash hellish magics from their Bane Towers.

Allies
