Editing Chaos Chosen (section)

===Overview===
Chaos Chosen usually start as normal Chaos Marines that slowly and steadily advance the hierarchical ladder of their Warband. At first the Chosen either lead the less experienced Chaos Marines like their Loyalist kin do, band together under a more experienced Chosen, or even become at one point members of a Chaos Lord's (or any other distinguished Chaos Commander's) retinue, eventually becoming Chaos Lords themselves if they keep up with the villainous heroism/[[Just as Planned]] ploys and piousness/satisfying the [[Chaos Gods]]/patron god (even going so far as becoming [[Daemon Prince|Daemon Princes]] or [[Chaos Spawn|those-whose-names-we-will-not-utter]] if they screw it royally up). Hell, it's actually possible for any Chaos Marine (even a [[Possessed|Possessed Marine]], a [[Obliterator]]/[[Mutilator]], a [[Chaos Dreadnought|Hellbrute]], you name it) to become one as long as they become better at what they do and show more interest in other forms of warfare.

Additionally, Chosen, as mentioned before, have either the favour of all the Chaos Gods, or a single Patron. Thus there are Chosen that are either Undivided, or serve a single Chaos God. Mixes of single god worshipers among Undivided Warbands are as common as those who worship Chaos as a pantheon, and each god gives unique Chaos Gifts to its Chosen. Additionally, Chosen also gain wargear that befits someone that either serves Chaos Undivided or a single patron god.

Aside from a single run of figures way back in the Dark Vengeance box set, these guys have never and quite possible will never get a plastic kit. Kitbash solutions vary from beefed-up ubermarines to Chaos special forces - now 8th edition went and made them the backbone of most competitive lists, you might as well get to work on your own. The reveal of the Eldritch Omens boxset means they're finally getting a proper plastic kit as well.

Scratch that; new Chosen models are releasing "soon" with the 2022 CSM codex/Nachmund kill team set. <s>Chainaxes</s> “Accursed Weapons” ho! <s>Of course, knowing GW they'll be nerfed into the ground come the next 'dex...</s> <s>Scratch that, chosen are getting 3 wounds and attacks, and options for thunder hammers.</s> How naive. Turns out that Anon was right all along, as Chosen have been given the Tzaangor treatment where [[derp|every weapon that isn’t a Power Sword will have the same weapon profile as such.]] [[fail|This includes such weapons such as Thunder Hammers, Power Axes, Lightning Claws, and other weapons that are important for customizing a versatile unit like Chaos Chosen.]]
