The scenario: The faithful servants of the Imperium are on the planet Armageddon during the first war, and the demonic incursions. The goal? Simple, get out of hell. However, the legions of Khorne are standing between you and your escape.

Players: 1 to control chaos, and 1 for each Imperial Champion.

Deployment: Along one of the 4 foot sides of the 6' by 4' table, measure a box 2 feet long and 6 inches wide 1 foot from the table edge on both sides to deploy in. This is where the Imperial champions begin. Chaos forces will enter play anywhere on the board edges that is 24 inches from an imperial player. The entire squad must be outside this 24 inches. Generate terrain as normal. No fortifications.

Victory conditions: Chaos: Kill all the Imperial players. Imperial: Escape with at least half of the Champions. Draw: Less than half the Imperial champions escape.

Game length: as long as is required, or you have patience to play.

Chaos Spawns: You get as many spawns as there are players a turn. So, if there are 2 Imperial Champions. You get to spawn two units. If you kill one, you are reduced to one spawn per turn. Spawns are randomized as follows. Roll a D6. on a 1-2 you spawn chaos cultists. On a 3-4 you will spawn deamons. On a 5-6 you will spawn chaos marines. Spawned units may move and shoot as normal but may not assault.

Spawn results: On a roll of 1 or 2, roll a further D6. This is how many cultists will spawn in this unit. They must act as a unit and must maintain coherency. On a roll of 3-4 roll a further D6 to see what deamons you spawn. 1-3 will spawn D6 bloodletters. 4-5 will spawn D6 fleshhounds. A 6 will spawn D3 bloodcrushers. On a roll of 5-6 roll a further D6 to see what marines are spawned. 1-4 will spawn D6 Berserkers. 5 will spawn D6 chaos space marines. 6 Will spawn D3 chaos terminators. Any spawned model may have any wargear change that is free. One model per unit can have a single upgrade for 10 points.

Spawning the boss: Once an Imperial Champion has crossed the halfway point on the board, you may spawn the boss. A single Bloodthirster with no upgrades. He may not move, shoot, or assault this turn. After all, he is a boss, and has to look menacing. The following turn however, he may act normally. Additionally, you may spawn a chaos lord with a power axe, terminator armour, and mark of khorne.

The Champions:

Sgt Williams: Sergeant Williams is a man who has seen it all. In fact, he probably isn't all there, anymore. All he knows is death. Several of his best friends were in his squad, and one by one he had to kill them all, as they became possessed with evil deamons of khorne. Armed with his trusty Chainsword and shotgun, he cares little for anything else but revenge.

WS5 BS3 S3 T3 W3 I3 A4 LD10 Sv4+

Wargear: Chainsword, Shotgun, Carapace armour, frag grenades.

Shotgun: Assault 2, 12", Str 3, Ap -

Special rules: Fearless, Independent character, feel no pain, rage, furious charge.

Mad as hell, mad as hell: Williams is... well a little crazy, and certainly pissed off at the events that have befallen him. In the first turn of assault he gets to re-roll all misses and failed wounds. His close combat attacks are also Rending. He always counts as having an additional close combat weapon, which is included in the profile above. And can choose to make smash attacks as well.

Space Marine: Space Marine doesn't remember his name. All he knows is the kill. And the pain. At one point he remembers being in an actual chapter, before the warp madness brought the pain to his head. He remembers no honor, no name, no tactics. Just the fire, and the kill. The legion of the damned will have its due.

WS 6 BS 4 S5 T4 W3 I4 A5 LD10 Sv 3+

Wargear: Power armour, warpchains, frag grenades.

Warpchains: About each wrist of the Space Marine are two chains, covered in warpfire. And he uses them to great effect. In close combat they use the following profile. Str as user, Ap 2. At range they can be used as the following. Assault 2, range 12" str 5, ap 2. Additionally, any unit that space marine hits with the chain, may make a free D6 directly at, as he pulls himself closer. He must then declare to assault them, if he wishes to assault this turn.

Special rules: Fearless, independent character, feel no pain.

Born of fire: Space marine's save is invulnerable.

Inquisitor Wade: Inquisitor Wade always walked the fine line of heresy. He believed the use of deamons and chaos could be done and used against the powers that be. And to some extent, he was right, as he is now, almost entirely unkillable. And utterly insane because of it. However, if other inquisitors can get their hands on him, they might find a way to kill him.

Well, not done yet. Can you spot the pop culture references for the champions? I'm still coming up with some more to vary it. Tell me what you think.
