Warhammer Mark of Chaos 16 Euorpean Patch description
Set in the heart of the Warhammer Universe, Warhammer®: Mark of Chaos puts the focus squarely on the battlefield

Over a year has passed since the Great War, during which the brutal Chaos armies swept across the Empire lands. Many fierce battles still rage across the Old World.

Portions of the defeated Chaos armies have retreated to the distant Northern Wastes, while others have fallen to hostile groups. Among these tribes, new Champions rise up in an effort to reunite the Chaos forces, yet eventually all fail. None can match the power of their fallen leader, Asavar Kul.

The united Empire and High Elf forces seek to hunt and destroy the Chaos hordes from the Empire territories, still alert because danger lurks around them in the form of smaller enemy warbands that loot the settlements of the border lands.

Now, four powerful armies - Empire, Chaos, Skaven and High Elves - along with other "dogs of war" including Orcs, Dwarfs, Vampires and Goblins, clash amidst breathtaking scenery in an epic battle for land and power.

Set in the heart of the Warhammer Universe, Warhammer: Mark of Chaos puts the focus squarely on the battlefield with a real-time combat system that gives players unprecedented customization and control of their army.

· EPIC BATTLES ON A MASSIVE SCALE. Warhammer: Mark of Chaos delivers a huge sense of scale and detail. Players clash in epic battles on massive, breathtaking landscapes.
