The Lost and The Damned

Background Information
As long as there have been men there has been corruption. This is generally in weak minded individuals or political leaders such as Tyrants, Mayors, etc. The Lost and the Damned are composed of mainly Traitor Regiments of Imperial Guard and Mutants. Occasionally they shall be lead by an Aspiring Champion who is seen as a messiah by the lesser worshipers of Chaos. They believe that someone as gifted as this individual must be a herald of the gods due to his immense favor with the Ruinous Powers. So this Champion rises quickly in the ranks of the rabble eventually becoming a despot or tyrant of that particular war band. He might have joined due to personal gain or the Gods told him to. The Lost and the Damned may also be lead by an Arch heretic who has favor with the gods and enjoys an elevated position due to his favor with the gods.

Mutation is rife in the Traitor legions. When a guardsman, pirate or mercenary joins with the Ruinous Power's forces he might become mutated by the gods or due to something on the Daemon World he is on. Now if the Gods give to many "Gifts" this individual might become a Big Mutant who looks nothing like the original being that he once was. Big Mutants might have also been a combanation of man and beast or just a heavily "gifted' beast. Most Big Mutants have no resemblances to what ever they used to look like. The end product could look like an ogryn with horns and tenticals.

Now there is never enough scum in the galaxy who are only all to willing to flock to the banners of Chaos. Being it personal gain or to have their horrible lives spared a little longer. Most of the Traitors who join up were Imperial Guardsmen whose planets were invaded by the forces of Chaos. They figure that by joining the enemy they can live a bit longer. This is how whole worlds quickly become Traitor and join the cause of the Great Enemy. The Traitor Guard bring many tank regiments with them into damnation. Tanks such as the mighty Basalisk or versatile Leman Russ Battle Tank. This provides the Traitor legions with more firepower to use against the Loyalist Dogs.

There are those who have been worshiping Chaos for a long period of time and have been gifted by their unholy patrons in the form of physical or mental mutations. These individuals become dregs who are incredibly stupid yet intelligent enough to give praise to their unholy patrons. When the forces of chaos go to war, hundreds of thousands of these mutants flock together to form groups and fight for a place on the Space hulks of Chaos in the hopes to pillage in the name of their patrons as well as to see if they can gain favor with them.

The forces of the Lost and the Damned might also be joined by the forces of the Chaos Space Marines who are viewed as demi-gods due to their many gifts and high favor with the gods of Chaos.

The mighty Defiler. A Daemonically possessed machine of mas destruction which is used to tie up enemy units in Close Combat or to Blast apart the enemy with it's mighty battle cannon. The Defiler is an encasement for the Daemon who mus be appeased so that it wont kill the users. The enchantments of appeasement are released at the eve of a battle in order for the Daemon to unleash it's eternal anger against the enemy.

The Lost and the Damned are an incredibly deadly force that has the combination of the imperial guard and the Space marines at it's disposal.
