The 41st millenium is rapidly drawing to a close, the Imperium under constant threat from all sides against countless enemies, from horrific xenos to heretical renegades. In one forsaken corner of the galaxy lies the maelstrom, a titanic warp rift called home by many factions of pirates, lawless criminals and forgotten horrors. Located in a very nearby system, stands the indomitable bulwark of Tannibus Alpha, a highly armed and very well defended Imperial planet.
Over many centuries of conflict, the planet has been subject to numerous attack from chaos warbands, traitor forces, and daemonic assaults, but nothing they could not repel. The planet has many guard stationed there, as well as limited amouns of grey knights and sisters of battle who are adept at combating the forces of daemons and hereics respectivly.
This was all to change on one fateful day when, unknown to the forces of the Imperium, the forces of chaos mounted one, enormous offensive, constructed of a large fleet composed of both chaos astartes and traitor spacecrafts, the astartes a mix of the newly formed Anarchy's children warband, with a small group of Red corsairs acting as sub-commanders and secondary advisors.. Although many ships were destroyed by the planet's advanced planetary defense systems and ships, a large amount still managed to get within range of the planet to completly bombard the planet with landing forces such as dreadclaws and dropships.

Age: 573 (appears 22)
Gender: Female
Appearance:
Armament: Her music
Background: Once she was just an ordinary singer on one of the more wealthier planets of the Imperium, singing songs of the Emperor inspiring her listeners. However the planet had a darker secret; cults had began to form, fuelled by greed and desire for power. It wasn't long before two of the bigger cults had set their eyes on Aria; one of Tzeentch and one of Slaanesh. The Tzeentch one sought the secrets hidden within the songs she sung, the knowledge gained from these events and lost to the ages. The Slaanesh cult was more simple; it saw the financial gain that stood to be gained from her enchanting melody. The daemons who ran the cults from the shadows had ulterior motives; many listened to her songs, what better way to perhaps reach more worshippers. The cults went about their ways to try and capture this asset for themselves. The Tzeentch cult hid spells within "rediscovered" melodies. The Slaanesh cult hid notes within the music accompanying it. Both of which would fight for control of the very souls who heard them. Thus the planet was enveloped in a power struggle between the daemonic forces of Tzeentch and Slaanesh. Every soul on the planet had been lost, besides just one; Aria's soul. Unaffected by their plots she was freely allowed to continue.
Only when the planet was firmly in their grasps did the daemons appear to her to congratulate and reward her. At first she was driven insane by the news; the one thing she loved most had destroyed all she loved. The Daemons could not accept sharing this tool with the other and began to fight amongst themselves. To this day they continue to fight over their prize, showering her with gifts and preserving her so that their plans may continue from the moment they first revealed themselves. In the meantime they allow her to wander as she desires. Both her and her songs drifting effortlessly through the air across the universe.

Age: Unknown, born around of the time when Tzeentch was formed
Appearance: Syrath takes the form of a massive, skeletal, twin headed dragon, rotting flesh and withered feathers seem to dot the surface of Syrath's form, while an aura of hate exudes from his body along with the
stench of blood and death. Flies, fire and beetles hang around his body, feasting on scraps of Syrath's once magnificent form.
Race: Daemon, former Lord of Change
Biography: Syrath was once a magnificent lord of Change, but a sudden twist of fate, and Syrath was a servant of the gods, but his luck ran out before he could take the galaxy when a Space Wolf, name and title long forgotten smitten the beast and left him a shambolic, mumbling wreak.

Age: 482
Gender: Male
Appearance:
Armament: Squad Thunder hammer, Inferno pistols,Combi-Meltas
Background: Born on Nocturne, Ve'Carr was good at every task put in front of him, there was no stopping him. It was easy to know he would be a Space Marine. He quickly rose through the ranks, leading a veteran squad into battle. Now it was time once again to prove his worthiness.
Name: Ulgot, the Plague-Bearer
Race/team: Greater Daemon of Nurgle
Age: unknown
Gender: unknown, possibly male
Appearance: Colossal, bulbous and fat, grotesque, with pus and other fluids oozing out of sores and festering wounds
Armament: Great Sword
Background: It was during the Age of Apostasy, when a system of agri-worlds suddenly were surrounded in darkness. Civilians were stricken with fatal diseases, then rose from the dead to return to their living brothers and sisters. The planets eventually rotted and withered, becoming a suitable plain for Ulgot to enter the Material Realm. He ruled this system for centuries before the warp storm abated, allowing for three companies from the Killer Angels Chapter and a squad of Grey Knights to arrive and cleanse the system. Fifty Astartes and Fifteen Grey Knights perished before Ulgot was banished back to the Warp. He has waited over five millennia to return. To this end, he has slowly corrupted a small group of traitor guardsman and sorcerers within the warband. It is these chosen who have seen the love Grandfather Nurgle provides for all. With their help, Ulgot will once more spread pestilence, decay, and desparation amongst the Imperium.
Name: Kaless (p_gray99)
Race/team: Chaos (formerly Sisters of Battle)
Age: 27
Gender: Female
Appearance: Just as with any other sister of battle, but with marks of she who thirsts rather than imperial eagles etc. and also with far more chaotic-looking power armour
Armament: Sonic blaster, bolt pistol, chainsword, frag and krak grenades, power armour, mark of slaanesh.
Background: Once a noble sister repentia, her concentration slipped for an instant in the midst of battle, one of her charges slipping in the occasional word about a powerful mistress and how Kaless could gain access to the greatest of sensations oh so easily. From there on, there was no going back. As soon as she reached Tannibus Alpha, She Who Thirsts had complete control, and the first moment no-one was watching she killed those from her squad who remained loyal (and some of the others for good measure) and turned to chaos, joining the noise marines of the emperor's children and becoming a part of one of their squads. As slaanesh sees all her warriors as equal, she is counted as one of them and has armour painted black and pink to show that she will now never turn back. Her faith is not gone, simply changed to faith in She Who Thirsts.
Name: Alphonsine D'Corus (N0t_u) (Dead)
Race/team: Sisters of Battle, Ordo Divinus Ensis
Age: 26
Gender: Female
Appearance:
Armament: The Rose's Blade (power sword, order relic), ornate plasma pistol, ornate power armour, grenades, rosarius.
Background: One of the youngest to achieve the rank of Canoness within the order due in part to a selection process from before the order was forced to cease acting as a stationary guard for the garden shrine planet Lillium. She is usually found somewhere around the middle of the action and very rarely is she not accompanied into battle by her twin Lily; the two usually helping to cover the other's flaws. Out of the two she is the better fighter, occasionally she may come up with a decent tactic but generally the tactics are not too original or blunt.
Name: Lily D'Corus
Race/team: Sisters of Battle, Ordo Divinus Ensis
Age: 26
Gender: Female
Appearance:
Armament: The Rose's Stem (power halberd, order relic), ornate power armour, grenades, rosarius.
Background: Unlike her sister she isn't much of a fighter, average at best. What allowed her to raise to the rank of Palatine was her tactical prowess and ability to inspire virtually everyone around her no matter how dire the circumstances. Usually found alongside Alphonsine, where she can best devise what action to take next, what actions their opponents would likely take and then raise morale to ensure it is done.
Squads:
Aegis of the thorn: Alphonsine, Lily, Hospitaller, three Celestians armed with bolters. Transport: Requiem of Lillium, Immolator with twinlinked multimelta, stormbolter and added armour.
Squad Castigo: Superior with chainsword and hand flamer, heavy flamer, flamer and seven sisters with bolters. Transport: Agito, rhino.
Squad Secondus: Superior with bolter, two flamers, seven sisters with bolters. Transport: Velox, rhino.
Exorcist Tempestas
Obviously the Exorcist will be sort of a reserve, already balancing it out by only using one as the 1k list has two as it is. Three is pretty much mandatory for them after all.
Name: Cogsnag Favored of Khorne
Race/team: Chaos Ork/Chaos
Age: 399 years old
Gender: ork
Appearance: 15 feet tall he is muscular for a ork his skin color is red and he wears parts of power armour he wore as 'eavy armour when he was a regular ork.

Race/team: Renegades (Astartes Mercenary)
Age: 145
Gender: Male
Appearance: Bald, Scar down the right side of his face
Armament: two Power Swords, Jump Pack & a Plasma Pistol
Background: Daston was a respected Assault Marine sergeant of the Blood Angels. He had a spotless record, only losing 25 men in a century of service. It was in a battle against a Tyranid splinter fleet by the name of Hive Fleet Orboros. His squad struck against orders at the Hive Tyrant commanding the Nids, killing it but losing half of the squad. After that battle, after the death of most of his squad, the rage in Daston triggered his long-dormant flaw. Succombing to the Black Rage, Daston slaughtered many of the battle's survivors before fleeing for his life. In the decade that has followed, Daston has learnt to control the rage, using only when in great need.
He now goes wherever people need a job doing, for little more than the enjoyment of it.
Name: Archon Vileth
Race/team: Dark Eldar

Armament: Huskblade, Animus Vitae, Clone Field, Vexator Mask
Background: The conceited megalomaniac of the Kabal of Iron Thorns, he has led inumerable raids into the materium. He is one of Vects most favoured Archons, albeit in
a joking manner, seeing him as more of a wild dog to be unleashed on others. He frequently leads raids on maiden worlds, and prize's exotic slaves above all else,
namely his Eldrict cousins and the Mon'keighs warrior race, the Astratus.
