BACKGROUND

I am a relative newcomer to the World of Warhammer. I played my first game (with borrowed and proxied units) in early 1998. The army I was drawn to first was High Elves, because of the cool models and the great history behind them. After playing about ten games with them I realized I loved Warhammer, but High Elves just weren't my style. Then I played Orcs and Goblins for a time, but I just couldn't get past the inherent goofiness and random nature of the army. Then, ostensibly by chance (more likely a Chaos plot), I happened upon the 4th edition chaos box set at a going-out-of-business sale at a local hobby shop. The price was too good to resist, so I picked it up. I read the rulebook in one night, and like Bronislav, I was hooked. Then, shortly after that, they released Realms of Chaos (for 5th edition, a dastardly plot to get more of my money).

Eventually I turned to the wonderful World Wide Web for entertainment and inspiration in my hobby madness. After a cursory search I found literally hundreds of webpages devoted to Warhammer Fantasy (and its annoying twin 40K) of varying degrees of quality. After I sifted the wheat from the chaff, I had a core group of quality sites (which can be found here) that I could refer to when I needed information, or just visit when I needed a fantasy fix. To my dismay, none of the sites I liked the best was devoted to MY army, the chaos warriors. So I waited patiently for some follower of chaos to put up a really whiz-bang chaos warriors webpage. And I waited. And waited.

I got tired of waiting. So I took my father's advice (Son, if you want something done right, do it yourself!) and set about learning HTML. The result is what you see here, and I hope you enjoy viewing it a whole lot more than I enjoyed building it.

There are countless webpages devoted to Warhammer, but there are a few that stand out. Machiara's Battle Glade, Earl Cadfael's Brettonian Army, The Herdstone, and Bugman's Brewery to name a few (all of which can be found here). These sites transcend the individual's army and have become a mecca for their Warhammer 'race', a strange attractor for anyone who has an interest in that army. I want Malkorax to become such a webpage for the Chaos 'race'.

I am going to do my level best with my limited HTML knowledge to make this the greatest Chaos site I can. I appeal to all followers of Chaos to contribute what information, inspiration, and whatever else they can in pursuit of this goal.
