Editing Warcry (section)

==Warcry (Chaos) Warbands==
An interesting detail that ties all the warbands together is the fact they all know little to nothing about the dark gods, referring to them with pseudo names, titles, or even worshipping lesser/greater daemons as the actual gods themselves. Those who travel to the Eightpoints see Archaon-senpai as a physical embodiment of Chaos and fight for his approval. Interestingly enough, a new non-chaos warband has been revealed which could indicate a trend for future releases.
