In the skirmish edition of the game Warcry, both the Untamed Beasts and Corvus Cabal war parties fight for the sake of gaining his favor.

In the standard Age of Sigmar miniature wargame, Archaon is a very powerful unit whose army-level abilities, when supported by his followers known as the Slaves to Darkness, focus mostly on further empowering him. Having overseen the ceremony to crown Archaon in the first place, Be'lakor found the mortal's promotion to be humiliating. His control of the forces of Chaos was later challenged by the archdaemon Be'lakor.

Though Archaon once led armies of Skaven alongside his human warriors, he no longer does so due to his dislike of them, despite their membership in the Grand Alliance. He is allied with - and outranked by - four out of the five gods, outranking everyone else in the Grand Alliance of Chaos. In the Age of Sigmar, Archaon is one of the primary antagonists of the entire game, on the same level as the Chaos gods themselves. Archaon's actions also led to the rise of the High Elf leader Teclis. In order to usher in this world-ending event, Archaon had to gather magical artifacts in the name of the Chaos gods, earning the title 'Everchosen' while doing so. Appearances Warhammer Fantasy Battle Īrchaon was responsible for bringing about the End Times, a cataclysmic event which led to the destruction of the Old World and essentially led to the shutting down of Games Workshop's original Warhammer Fantasy setting and the ushering in of the new Age of Sigmar setting in 2015.
