main article:Chaos Space Marine Bikes
Chaos Space Marine Bikes are similar in nature to the Space Marine Bike however they have been mutated by the warp.1,5
Familiar
A Familiar is an assistant to Chaos Sorcerers and Sorcerer Lords, allowing them access to more spells than they can have by themselves, literally pulling the incantation from the mind of the familiar when the time comes.1,5
Personal Icon
A Personal Icon is given to a champion of Chaos and is unique to one of the Chaos Gods (Khorne, Nurgle, Slaanesh or Tzeentch). It is also a prime location for Daemonic summons due to this link.1,2,5
Spiky Bits
Spiky Bits cover Chaos Power Armour, partially for ornamentation and partially for combat, and include spikes, blades and horns. They are highly effective as the weight of the marine will easily crush enemies beneath them.1,2

Common Vehicle Upgrades
Unique Vehicle Upgrades
Blasphemous Rune
Blasphemous Rune occurs when the vehicle is painted in the symbols of the Chaos Gods, which unnerve and disturb even the hardiest of troops.1,2
Coruscating Warp Flame
Coruscating Warp Flame produces a flame from gargoyles on the outer hull which are constantly chanting incantations and pausing only to expel warp flames. The vehicle is enveloped with a sheet of warp flame and consumes lightly armed troops easily.1,2
Daemonic Possession
Daemonic Possession seals the vehicle and allows it to run without a crew. The daemonic entity within controls the vehicle totally and is held within by runes and sigils.1,2
Destroyer
Destroyer comes in the form of many spikes, blades, scythes and other highly dangerous pieces of equipment attached to the hull of the vehicle, dramatically improving any form of close combat that vehicle may take part in.1,2
Dirge Caster
The Dirge Caster broadcasts a litany of chaotic verse non-stop. It is often incomprehensible and disturbing to hear to normal people, however the followers of Chaos are dramatically taken in by the sounds, driving away any form of doubt or uncertainty about the coming battle.1,2
Havoc Launcher
Havoc Missile Launchers were the precursors of both the Cyclone Missile Launcher now used by Space Marine Terminators and the immense Havoc Missile Rack sported by the Banelord Class Chaos Titans. Due to their size they were not man-portable, and restricted to use on vehicles. Since the escape by the Traitor Legions into the Eye of Terror, technology has advanced enough to allow the introduction of the Cyclone, but leaving the isolated Chaos Space Marines only able to use them on their vehicles and Dreadnoughts as the Imperial forces would use Hunter-Killer Missiles.1,2,4
Living Vehicle
Living Vehicle provides blades, tentacles and other living offensive weapons which allow the vehicle to strike anything close to it as the limbs lash out.1,2
Mutated Hull
Mutated Hull alters the hull of the vehicle to include spikes, gargoyles and arcane symbols which reform whenever the vehicle is hit. This makes the vehicle a lot harder to destroy.1,2
Parasitic Possession
Parasitic Possession occurs when a vehicle is possessed by a daemonic parasite of Nurgle. The daemon literally becomes part of the vehicle. To a certain extent the vehicle is damaged by the parasite, although because of the possession by the daemon, the vehicle gains a degree of self-repair abilities.1,2
Plague Carrier
Plague Carriers have smoking censers which release gasses which have a similar effect to Nurgle's Rot.1,2
Warp Amp
The Warp Amp amplifies emotions and sensations by projecting warp energy from pipes and tubes in the vehicles hull for the betterment of allies and detriment of enemies.This is very effective when used on basic infantry.2
