About Warhammer: Mark of Chaos - Gold Edition (Classic)
Warhammer: Mark of Chaos – Gold Edition bundles the original title with the Battle March add‑on, offering six distinct Warhammer armies and three single‑player campaigns set amid a chaotic fantasy world. Players can command the Empire, Hordes of Chaos, Orcs & Goblins, Dark Elves, High Elves, or Skaven, shaping tactics, appearance, and unit composition.
The Gold Edition updates the game for modern Windows, adding UI scaling up to 4K, widescreen support, faster loading, stability fixes, Hungarian localisation, and Steam Cloud save integration. Multiplayer is limited to LAN connections, while the single‑player experience features extensive unit customization, hero duels, and battles with thousands of on‑screen characters.
01 / THE GUIDE
Campaign Structure
Three single‑player campaigns provide narrative context for the Chaos invasion and other threats, each allowing the player to lead any of the six playable factions. The campaigns are distinct, focusing on different regions and story beats within the Warhammer world.
Each faction brings its own units, heroes, and tactical options, creating varied gameplay across the campaigns.
- Try each faction in the same campaign to see how unit composition changes the difficulty.
- Note which campaign objectives align best with a faction’s strengths.

Unit Customisation
Players can modify units through body‑part swaps, weapon and armour upgrades, detailed painting options, and banner customisation. These tools affect both visual identity and combat capability of individual units.
Over 100 diverse units are available across the six armies, allowing players to build forces that reflect personal aesthetic preferences while maintaining strategic flexibility.
- Use painting options to create clear visual groups on the battlefield.
- Experiment with weapon swaps to discover performance differences.

Hero Duels
Heroes can be honed into fearsome warriors and then challenged against enemy champions in duels to the death. These one‑on‑one encounters test the strength of a player’s hero build.
Duels add a personal combat layer that complements the massive army engagements.
- Focus development on a single hero to maximise duel effectiveness.
- Observe opponent hero equipment to adapt your own loadout.
