Chaos Armoury

The Chaos army's infantry research facility.

Tactics

Unlike the Space Marine Armoury, the Chaos Armoury provides not only upgrades, but allows leaders in Chaos squads. For Space Marines, they require the Tier 2 Monastery upgrade to gain leaders, which is a drawback as leaders often give the squad vital bonuses, such as attack and defense auras. This is a vital building for all tiers, as it contains research that improves, upgrades and even infiltrates some Chaos Marines.
