The earth trembles as the beastly packs advance. The plants wilt and rot, the animals are filled with fear, and the air becomes heavy due to the corruption of the raw energy of Chaos. Then the bloody howling begins. The Beasts of Chaos emerge from the woods and rocky outcrops, screaming their wild battle cries as they descend upon their prey. They are the true children of Chaos, and through them, anarchy and ruin spread across the lands of the civilized races.

In the 80 pages of the Battletome: Beasts of Chaos paperback, you will find:

- They come from the wild territories: an introduction to the Beasts of Chaos, wild and corrupted creatures that spread anarchy throughout the Mortal Realms;
- Primitive origins: the Beasts of Chaos are more ancient than the earliest accounts of any scribe, and oral traditions describe them as having faded into the mists of time, but the legends endure and are presented here;
- The true children of Chaos: the innate ferocity of the Beasts of Chaos is neither a gift bestowed by the Dark Gods nor due to enslavement; they embody Chaos in its purest and most anarchic form;
- Detailed explanations of the Greatfrays and beastly packs of this faction, their motivations and (known) stories;
- The assemblies of the Greatfrays: an explanation of the organization of the Beasts of Chaos armies, including an example of the structure of a particular pack;
- A showcase of wonderfully painted Citadel miniatures with an example of an army.
