Sacrificial Circle

Widens the Chaos army's portal to the warp allowing Daemons to pass into our realm.

Tactics

The Sacrificial circle serves both as a unit production facility and a research building. Be sure there is a decent anti-vehicle force already on the battlefield before starting longer researches here.

Also, an excellent way for Chaos to deal with hostile vehicles is to hotkey the Sacrificial Circle (default ctrl+#) and to deep strike Horror Squads exactly where they are needed.

Abilities

Chaos Taint

Effects An evil aura exudes from this building, generating a sense of unease among the enemies of Chaos while restoring its dark servants.
  • Enemies have their morale regeneration rate decreased by 20% (does not stack).
  • When the Stronghold is upgraded to a Desecrated Fortress friendly infantry also have their health regeneration rate quadrupled and the Chaos Lord and Chaos Sorcerer have their health regeneration rate doubled.

Target Types Visible terrain
Range Unlimited
Area of effect None Cooldown time Passive ability
Effects When built the Horror Squad doesn't automatically enter the battlefield but instead remains in the Sacrificial Circle waiting to Deepstrike out. The Sacrificial Circle has capacity for 5 stored Horror Squads. This allows the squad to enter the battlefield at any targetable location. If desired the Horrors can subsequently be loaded back into the Sacrificial Circle to once again get access to the Deepstrike ability after a 5 s delay.
