History Characters / TotalWarWarhammerTheWarriorsOfChaos

** The Chosen are a direct upgrade from the standard Chaos Warrior units, and even share the same three variations of axe-and-shield, halberd and greataxe. They're also far stronger then regular Chaos Warriors, wearing even tougher armor, and wielding stronger weapons. They cost ''a ton'', but are easily the best melee infantry unit in the game, and will handily stomp their equivalents into the ground. Not even Phoneix Guard can truly stand up to them.
** Marauder Horsemasters are just a rather hefty upgrade to the regular mounted marauders, their main advantage being there actually decent in melee combat, and have solid upgrades to damage, speed, and armour.

** As a whole however, this trope is ''also'' played straight, as Archaeon's horde seems to be "Chaos Undivided". Different warriors within a unit will say different prayers to each Chaos God, some praising Nurgle, others offering pledges to Khorne, for example. More often then not, having followers of different Chaos Gods inside the same warband ''is not a good idea'', but in this case, followers of all four Chaos God are fighting side by side, which is a rare feat.

* FantasticRacism: Norscans ''despise'' any humans from the south, thinking them to be weak-willed, cretins that stole the land that should have been theirs! They are also on the receiving end of this, as the people of the civilised Old World view them as nothing more then savages who want to bring down everything they hold dear.

* BlackKnight: Has this look ''down to a tee'', even moreso then other Chosen. It fits him even more, since he was a Templar Knight when he served humanity.

->''"Is there one single greater threat to civilisation than these savages? Physically powerful, armed and armoured with both steel and sorcery, filled with evil intent. Are they even Human? All the evidence is that they are not; rather, these creatures are spontaneously generated deep within the Pits of Chaos in the Icy Wastes north of Norsca, born from the cosmic flux of creation that is primal Chaos..."''

* DropTheHammer: His warhammer ''Starcrusher'', the biggest in a setting chock-full of warhammers.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: As a Greater Daemon of Tzeentch he's pretty high up on the Chaos totem pole. Watch in horror as he blows apart entire units of soldiers with his spells and rips through your lines as he childishly giggles in laughter.

* DropTheHammer: Harald's trademark hammer, a monstrous weapon that looks like a corrupted Ghal Maraz and which is capable of banishing spirits with its touch, making it extra nasty against undead and daemonic foes. In fact, before Sigmar and Ghal Maraz were introduced to the franchise, Harald's hammer was ''the'' titular Warhammer. To reflect this Harld gains a permanent buff for defeating Ghal Maraz's wielder Karl Franz, despite having no personal beef with him in lore.

* GutturalGrowler: To the point of being almost unintelligible during his Quest Battle speech.

He is also available as a Lord for Daemons of Chaos in custom multiplayer mode. In ''Immortal Empires'', he is fully playable as a part of the Warriors of Chaos faction, leading the subfaction "The Shadow Legion".
