	Remember when [[Games Workshop]] was [[awesome]] and released [[Hordes of Chaos]], allowing you create armies containing all of the minions of [[Chaos]] for [[Warhammer Fantasy Battle]]?

	Certain models in a Chaos Great Host may be classified as Antagonistic, dependent upon the nature of the Paragon of the Host. These Chaos worshippers have only the most tenuous of allegiances to the Host and so they are fractious, unreliable, and potentially traitorous. Antagonistic characters and units can ''not'' use the Paragon's Inspiring Presence, or the Battle Standard Bearer's Hold Your Ground! special rules.
