Subject: High Power RE4 style Dark Heresy game Ideas and Advice

So the idea is a hilariously high power game of Dark Heresy, where the 4 regular party members are all souped up Grey Knights (EX:1d5+29 wounds), and the party leader being a grand master (EX: 1d5+34 wounds)
With the GM controlled Big bad evil guy being an incredibly powerful Daemon Prince (slightly reduced Greater Daemon stats from Daemon Hunter, EX: 100+10d10 wounds, and 2 chosen Greater blessings from the same book)
The Daemon Prince is implied to be Charlemagne (2 of the party members +my favorite historical figure), through collected data-slates dropped by killed sisters squads. Of course the GK are going "who the hell are the Franks?" so it won't do them much good.
The General plot revolves around the Grey Knight squad being sent to a world right next to the Maelstrom called Malefact, and being put in an RE4 style scenario with the corrupted populace being enemies from the Black Crusade source books, and the replacement for Saddler being the Daemon Prince.
There's a Sisters of Battle squad running around as an expy of Luis, who the Grey Knights run into through out the story.
Of course there's going to be some of the famous scenes from RE4. Like the House Defense scene.
Ideas and Advice?

Finally found my quote from a gym buddy born and raised in South Korea:
"It is the soldier, not the reporter who has given us the freedom of the press.
"It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us the freedom of speech.
"It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who gives us the freedom to demonstrate.
"It is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag." |

Have them start insane or with corruption points, it's more fun that way.

Krauser = an exorcist space marine.
He fought alongside the squad at some point in the past, and turns into a very powerful daemon that they (Or just one of them to make it more interesting/fair) have to fight at some point.

I Like that.
That could be fun.

Rather than have him as 'charlemagne' you could have just hints about a powerful warlord from earth like the hints in 2nd edition codex that doombreed was a certain dictator. Its way more fun if all your group can guess and maybe be wrong and gives them interaction with the fluff. Hell if one of them gets it right then maybe give them bonuses when fighting the deamon for its human name 
As for RE4 melded to a deamon world..perhaps the planet could be highly ordered and controlled until a PC puts a book the wrong way or treads off the path then suddenly the whole world go crazy and starts attacking. The best parts of RE4 (along time ago I played) weree the running and surviving in the village when people attack. Plus it fits with the deamon prince being a champion of 'order' (in his mind) but instead under the surface of his world chaos. Himself could represent this duality..a ordered prince, underneath a barbarian warlord. That's how I could stretch to envisage charlemagne as a daemon prince
Those regenerator things in the creepy lab could be.....kept the same. proper scary.
The best part of the castle levels would be fit into charlemagne's perceived background. Hell you could throw in the sword of roland!
Is this going to be just action im assuming?
