It applies to all models capable of issuing challenges. This means the Champions are compelled to issue challenges, but may not roll on the Eye of the Gods chart (unless the army includes a War Shrine, of course!). They can, however, refuse challenges, in a very cowardly and un-Chaosy fashion!

Does the compulsion to challenge apply to all models in the army or only to models with the Eye of the Gods special rule?URL Copied!
Source: Official Warriors of Chaos FAQ
If a model or unit re-rolls on the Eye of the Gods table, and the second result is also a duplicate of a gift, can/must it be re-rolled? In other words can a re-roll be re-rolled in this case?URL Copied!
Yes, it can, and indeed it must. This is a (rare) exception to the rule that re-rolls can never be re-rolled (but it's for the greater good!).
Source: Official Warriors of Chaos FAQ
If a character is in a unit and an enemy model with the Large special rule is slain, must the character inflict the final wound to gain the roll on the Eye of the Gods table?URL Copied!
Yes, just like in the case of characters. If the large target dies as a result of wounds inflicted by other models, or for another reason (such as extra wounds suffered from combat resolution) there is no roll on the table.
Source: Official Warriors of Chaos FAQ
If a large target flees or breaks and is run down by a character, or the unit it is with, does the character get to claim the Enemy of the Gods bonus?URL Copied!
Yes, differently from the case of running down a character.

How do rolls on the Eye of the Gods table affect mounts (either of characters or units blessed by the Warshrine)?URL Copied!
They do not (unless the gift is one that affects the entire model, like Magic Resistance).
Source: Official Warriors of Chaos FAQ
Does killing a champion grant a roll on the Eye of the Gods chart?URL Copied!
No, as champions are not characters.
Source: Official Warriors of Chaos FAQ
The Eye of the Gods rule states that 'duplicate gifts must be re-rolled'. Is the 'Eye is Closed' (nothing happens) considered a gift, therefore you re-roll it if you get it for the second time?URL Copied!
No, sadly you can get this result any number of times.
Source: Official Warriors of Chaos FAQ
If you already have Stupidity from a spell or a Helm of Many Eyes, can you get it again from the Eye of the Gods roll?URL Copied!
Yes, you can (but only once!) although this will have no additional effects – stupidity has its limits.

Can a Chaos Sorcerer or Sorcerer Lord use magical shields?URL Copied!
Yes, they can. This is an exception to the normal rules, and it is specified on page 106, Using Chaos Magic, second paragraph.
Source: Official Warriors of Chaos FAQ
Can a Sorcerer on a Steed of Slaanesh cast magic missiles with 360 arc of sight, as the Steed itself has the Fast Cavalry rule?URL Copied!
Yes, that seems fine (and rather spectacular too!).
Source: Official Warriors of Chaos FAQ
Does the Chaos Knight lance option replace their ensorcelled weapons completely (i.e. are the lances mundane), or give them lances that also benefit from the ensorcelled weapons rule?URL Copied!
The ensorcelled weapons are replaced by mundane lances.
Source: Official Warriors of Chaos FAQ
When a Hellcannon misfires and you roll a 3 on his Misfire chart, every Wizard suffers a miscast. If a wizard rolls 5-6 on the miscast table, his opponent can cast a spell. How can these 'free' spells be dispelled, since we're still in the Shooting phase?URL Copied!
Only with dispel scrolls, magic resistance, and so on. This is just the same as when, during the enemy's Magic phase, you have run out of dispel dice and the enemy keeps casting spells at you (not a nice place to be!).
Source: Official Warriors of Chaos FAQ
Following the previous answer, what if the Wizard rolls a 10-11 or a 12 (which spell do we lose/cast with irresistible force)?URL Copied!
As there is no spell being cast, it cannot be lost/resolved with irresistible force. All other effects apply.
Source: Official Warriors of Chaos FAQ
How should we count victory points for the Hellcannon and its crew?URL Copied!
It is treated like a monster with handlers. The unit costs 205 points and is made of 4 models. If you, for example, kill two models (any two models!), you score 103 points. If you kill them all, you score 205. As simple as that.
Source: Official Warriors of Chaos FAQ
Can the Hellcannon move and fire?URL Copied!
No, as 'it fires like a stone thrower'.
Source: Official Warriors of Chaos FAQ
Can the Hellcannon stand & shoot against chargers?URL Copied!
No, as 'it fires like a stone thrower'.
Source: Official Warriors of Chaos FAQ
If all of the Chaos Dwarfs crewing the Hellcannon are killed, can the cannon still shoot?URL Copied!
Yes, it can fire as normal, provided that it passes its Ld test of 4, of course, which will not happen very often.
Source: Official Warriors of Chaos FAQ
When a Hellcannon charges 12", if the Dwarfs don't have sufficient movement is it OK to place them at the back of the Hellcannon in the same as charging with a skirmishing unit?URL Copied!
Correct. The unit would normally move at the speed of the slowest model (i.e. the Dwarfs), but ,when charging, the handlers are completely ignored.
Source: Official Warriors of Chaos FAQ
If a Hellcannon misfires and causes all Wizards to suffer a Miscast, in what order are the miscasts resolved?URL Copied!
In a randomly determined order.

When a friendly Warshrine is in play, do friendly Warriors of Chaos unit champions earn a roll on the Eye of the Gods chart if they kill an enemy character or large target?URL Copied!
Absolutely!
Source: Official Warriors of Chaos FAQ
If a character is part of a unit that receives a blessing from the Warshrine, what happens if/when the character leaves the unit?URL Copied!
As he is no longer part of the unit, he will lose the gift.
Source: Official Warriors of Chaos FAQ
If the Warshrine grants an Eye of the Gods roll to a unit and the result is a duplicate to a previous roll the unit (or a model inside the unit) already has, should you re-roll it?URL Copied!
Yes, as the unit (or a model inside the unit) cannot receive the same gift twice.
Source: Official Warriors of Chaos FAQ
In a battle pitting two Chaos armies against each other, does the Warshrine's Giver of Glory rule affect champions from both sides? If so, are Daemons and Beast champions considered 'Chaos Champions'?URL Copied!
From both sides, but only from Warriors of Chaos armies, not Daemons, Beastmen etc.
Source: Official Warriors of Chaos FAQ
If the Warshrine is destroyed or otherwise removed from play, does the last unit to be blessed by it retain the gift?URL Copied!
Yes it does, unless another Warshrine attempts to roll a better result for it.
Source: Official Warriors of Chaos FAQ
To what extent does a Warshrine 'move and fight like a monster'? Does this include Unit Strength, spells such as the Beast Cowers, weapon bonuses?URL Copied!
As far as movement, in the sense that it moves like a monster and cannot join other units. As far as combat, in the sense that fights as a creature with a single profile.
Source: Official Warriors of Chaos FAQ
Are Daemon Princes Daemons for the purpose of Burning Gaze, Cleansing Flare, and other such effects?URL Copied!
Yes, they are Daemons for these purposes.
Source: Official Warriors of Chaos FAQ
Models that were defined as Daemonic in the past and therefore had magical attacks, such as Daemon Princes, Hellcannons, chaos mounts (Juggernauts, Discs...), no longer have magical attacks. Is this right?URL Copied!
Unlike in the Daemons of Chaos book, in this book they do not have magical attacks, clearly because they are so far away from the Realm of Chaos...
Source: Official Warriors of Chaos FAQ
If a Giant rolls a double with 'Thump with Club' and the combat ends that round, but he pursues/overruns into another combat or is charged, must he still forgo his attacks in the next round of combat?URL Copied!
We think it is reasonable to assume that, spurred by the frenzy of activity, the giant has retrieved his club a little faster and is now ready to fight. In other words, the rule applies only in consecutive rounds of the same combat.
Source: Official Warriors of Chaos FAQ
If a Giant 'Hurls' a rank and file model with multiple wounds, a ward save, or regeneration and it survives, what happens?URL Copied!
Put the model back into his original unit...we assume it made its own way back after regaining consciousness ('passing his wound around' if it goes back to a unit of multiple-wound creatures!).
Source: Official Warriors of Chaos FAQ
What happens if two opposing Giants, in the same fight but not in base contact with each other, both roll Yell and Bawl?URL Copied!
The combat is a draw (musicians do not work in this case, as the Giants are too loud).
Source: Official Warriors of Chaos FAQ
Do the wounds inflicted on a unit struck by a 'hurled' model count towards the Giant's combat resolution?URL Copied!
Yes, but only if the unit is in the same combat as the Giant.
Source: Official Warriors of Chaos FAQ
If a Giant 'Squashes' or 'Eats' a model, how many points of combat resolution does the Giant score?URL Copied!
Treat this as a Killing Blow, so the Giant would score a number of points equal to the victim's remaining wounds.

Can Wulfrik use Seafang to enter the table with a unit of Marauder Horsemen?URL Copied!
No, only with a unit of Marauders on foot.

Is Starcrusher a magic weapon?URL Copied!
Yes, it is, and a fairly big one.
Source: Official Warriors of Chaos FAQ
Do the hits from 'Herald of the Tempest' inflict D3 wounds?URL Copied!
No, only those inflicted by Starcrusher.
Source: Official Warriors of Chaos FAQ
Are Daemon Princes, Kholek Suneater, and Galrauch considered to be both characters and monsters?URL Copied!
Yes, they are monstrous characters. This means they move as monsters and cannot join units, but as characters are not subject to spells that affect 'monsters'.
Source: Official Warriors of Chaos FAQ
Are Daemon Princes that are given magic levels equipped with Chaos Armour?URL Copied!
No, they are not.
Source: Official Warriors of Chaos FAQ
What happens if the same unit is the target of several Curse of the Leper spells? Does the last sentence of the spell ('this can mean a whole unit is destroyed in a single turn!') mean that additional castings raise the score of the dice by one each?URL Copied!
The effects of several of these spells are cumulative – assuming you had enough Nurgle Sorcerers who rolled this spell and successfully cast it upon the same unit, you could destroy a unit in this manner in a single turn.
Source: Official Warriors of Chaos FAQ
Will Curse of the Leper automatically kill a war machine such as a cannon as soon as it is cast?URL Copied!
War machines don't have a Strength value at all, and so that characteristic is not affected by Curse of the Leper. Their Toughness, however, is affected as normal.
Source: Official Warriors of Chaos FAQ
Can we target characters inside units with Magnificent Buboes from the Lore of Nurgle?URL Copied!
Yes, you can.
Source: Official Warriors of Chaos FAQ
Are the Daemons of the proper god immune to effects of certain magical items (example: Festering Shroud) and spells (example: Plague Squall)?URL Copied!
No, they are not.
Source: Official Warriors of Chaos FAQ
What happens when Call to Glory is dispelled/ends after it has been cast?URL Copied!
The model disappears, probably ascending to the realm of his own patron god. This does not count as killing the Exalted Hero and does not award the extra 100 victory points.
Source: Official Warriors of Chaos FAQ
Since remains in play spells can be ended at any time by the caster, it seems that the casting player can end Call to Glory just before taking any saves/removing the model as a casualty and thus prevent the death of the model - it ceases to be worth 100VPs as soon as the spell ends. In what circumstances can a player score 100VPs for killing an Exalted Champion created by Call to Glory?URL Copied!
It is gentlemanly (and it avoids endless arguments) to wait for the end of a phase before intentionally terminating this spell.
Source: Official Warriors of Chaos FAQ
Infernal Gateway: If this spell has Strength 11+ and the target unit has a Vampire with the Carstein Ring, does he get to use his ring?URL Copied!
No, he does not. He's gone, man. You must let go!
Source: Official Warriors of Chaos FAQ
If an enemy model is in base contact with a unit that has had Aura of Acquiescence cast upon it, can the model choose to attack another target if it fails the Leadership test to allocate attacks against the unit with the Aura?URL Copied!
Yes, as there is nothing stating otherwise.
Source: Official Warriors of Chaos FAQ
If a character with the mark of Nurgle joins a unit without this mark, is shooting against such a unit also at -1 BS?URL Copied!
No, as the firers are not 'rolling to hit the model with the Mark of Nurgle', but rather the unit.
Source: Official Warriors of Chaos FAQ
Are Bloodcurling Roar and Word of Agony magical attacks?URL Copied!
No, just mundane attacks (so to speak...)
Source: Official Warriors of Chaos FAQ
Can you use Bloodcurling Roar, Stream of Corruption and throw the Death's Head in the same Shooting Phase?URL Copied!
No, as they all are treated as shooting attacks (except where otherwise specified).
Source: Official Warriors of Chaos FAQ
If a model with Word of Agony is in combat with a Dark Elf unit containing an Assassin, which occurs first – the Assassin's appearance or the use of the Word of Agony?URL Copied!
A classic case where the two rules are in direct contradiction, so you will have to roll a dice for it every time it happens (not that often, we think).
Source: Official Warriors of Chaos FAQ
How are hits from Word of Agony distributed against mounts and their riders?URL Copied!
It's best to randomize them as shooting.
Source: Official Warriors of Chaos FAQ
Can the Infernal Puppet modify the result of alternative Miscast tables, such as the Waaagh! magic miscast table or the Gut Magic miscast table?URL Copied!
Yes, any and all, often with very spectacular results (I'm thinking Waaagh! Magic).
Source: Official Warriors of Chaos FAQ
Does the Infernal Puppet work on friendly Wizards too?URL Copied!
Yes, making it very useful indeed.
Source: Official Warriors of Chaos FAQ
If the Favour of the Gods enchanted item is given to the champion of a unit of Chosen, can the unit benefit from it when it makes its roll in the Eye of the Gods table before the game? And when it makes a roll thanks to a Chaos War Altar?URL Copied!
Yes, they can.
Source: Official Warriors of Chaos FAQ
Does the immunity to the Lore of Nurgle conferred by the Necrotic Phylactery apply to other Lores of Nurgle (like the ones in Daemons of Chaos and Beasts of Chaos)?URL Copied!
No, only to the one from this book.
Source: Official Warriors of Chaos FAQ
Is a model with the Book of Secrets considered a Wizard? If so, how many dice can he use to cast a spell?URL Copied!
Yes, he counts as a Wizard. He can use up to two dice to cast a spell in the same manner as a Level 1 Wizard.
Source: Official Warriors of Chaos FAQ
Can a model with the Book of Secrets swap his spell for the first in the lore as normal?URL Copied!
Yes, he can.
Source: Official Warriors of Chaos FAQ
If a Sorcerer or Sorcerer Lord purchases the Book of Secrets and chooses the same lore for both the Book and their own spells, would this allow them to have a duplicate of a spell? If so could the Sorcerer cast the spell twice in one phase?URL Copied!
Yes, that seems acceptable.
Source: Official Warriors of Chaos FAQ
If a model hits and wounds itself or its own unit, for example with the Chaos Daemonsword or Slayer of Kings, which side (if any) scores combat resolution from these wounds?URL Copied!
Such wounds do count, and they count towards the enemy's total of wounds caused, just like wounds actually caused by the enemy.
Source: Official Warriors of Chaos FAQ
Glaive of Putrefaction: How does the S2, T2 affect a unit of multi-wound models like Ogres?URL Copied!
A complicated situation, but luckily not one that will arise very often. You'll have to record separately which models have been affected and randomise shooting hits and allocate close combat attacks against the unit.
Source: Official Warriors of Chaos FAQ
How is the Glaive of Putrefaction resolved against ridden monsters/chariots? Are all components reduced to S2/T2?URL Copied!
No, you will have to record separately if the rider or the chariot/monster are affected.
Source: Official Warriors of Chaos FAQ
Do the special rules of Father of Blades apply against shooting at the character?URL Copied!
Yes, but only for attacks directly targeted at the bearer. The rule would stop applying if the character joined a unit, or was riding a monster/chariot, as the attacks would not be targeted against the bearer.
Source: Official Warriors of Chaos FAQ
If both sides have a model with the Infernal Puppet, in what order are the effects applied?For example, can one wizard wait until after the miscast has been adjusted by his enemy before declaring that he wishes to adjust it himself?URL Copied!
Easy! First the player that rolled the Miscast makes his roll on the chart. Then, either player declares that he's using the Puppet, rolls the D3 and modifies the result. Finally, the other player (with a swashbuckling move and a sound: 'aha!'), reveals that he also has a Puppet and modifies the result again by a D3.
Source: Official Warriors of Chaos FAQ
If a player declares he is using the Infernal Puppet, and rolls the D3, may he then decline to adjust the roll?URL Copied!
Absolutely, but what an anticlimax!
Source: Official Warriors of Chaos FAQ
Does the Bloodskull Pendant inflict a single hit on a multipart model (mounted character, Stegadon) or one hit on each component? If a single hit, how is it distributed?URL Copied!
It's a single hit (as a multipart model is still 'one model'), randomized as shooting.
Source: Official Warriors of Chaos FAQ
Bloodskull Pendant: If a character with this item is in a challenge, can he use it on those in base to base with him that are not in the challenge?URL Copied!
Yes. In reality, he is using it against the challenged enemy, and any hits against other models the bearer might be in base contact with are entirely accidental... honest!

Festus the Leechlord doesn't have either Chaos armour or hand weapon in his profile. Is this a mistake?URL Copied!
He certainly should have a hand weapon (but thankfully this makes no difference). But he definitely does not wear any kind of armour.
