Desecrated Stronghold

This is the basic headquarters of a Chaos base. Heretics and Cultists are trained here. Squad and Support Cap Research are acquired here as well. Upgrade the Desecrated Stronghold to a Desecrated Fortress and a Unholy Monastery to make available vehicles, more infantry, and advanced research in other Chaos buildings.

Tactics

For every Desecrated Stronghold a Chaos player is allowed to build six Plasma Generators and six Heavy Bolter Turrets. Build more Desecrated Strongholds if you find yourself needing more of these structures. This will also make it that much harder for your enemy to defeat you.
