This Force list for Vor: the Maelstrom is based on the Chaos mythos of Games Workshop's Warhammer 40,000 game. It presupposes a working familiarity with such background material, particularly the Chaos Renegade warbands described in the Realm of Chaos: Slaves to Darkness sourebook. In particular, the content and organization described herein is directly sourced from the Chaos Renegade Army list presented in White Dwarf 107, way back in 1988. I have used their names, and even some of their descriptions, directly copied from the original text. I have also made a few changes to reflect some differences betwen the various editions of Chaos rules and of course, that this is for Vor, not Warhammer 40,000. Nothing here is meant to challenge copyrights or intellectual property f Games Workshop. I just loved the Chaos stuff, and wanted to bring it along to the new game...

Renegade Warlord

Every Chaos Renegade army is led by a Renegade Warlord, and possibly an accompanying Warband. Renegade Warlords come from a broad variety of races and backgrounds, but in the end the warping influence of Chaos renders them identical in battlefield performance.

Traitor Legionaire Squad

Traitor Legions often lend small detachments, usually no more than a single squd, to successful Chaos Renegades. Aboard a Renegade hulk the Traitor Legionaires can spread the misery of Chaos, prove their loyalty to the Legion, and gather information for full-blown Legion assaults.

Structure: 5-10 per Squad.
Equipment: Power Armor, Bolt pistol, Combat blade.
Options:

Human Degenerates

Many who turn to Chaos lack the willpower and drive to become part of a Renegade's inner retinue. Denied such importance they fight with a fanaticism born of desperation, uncaring that they are little better than cannon fodder.

Mutant Beastman Herd

Beastmen are much favored by Chaos Renegades as their mutations and foul habits are well suited to Chaos. Their savagery and lack of human compassion for enemies is also well regarded.

Options:

Grot Outcasts

Mean-spirited and petty, Grots are the perfect servants of Chaos. They are often cowardly and, as a result, are eager to obey any instructions from a superior creature. Conversely, they can quickly become dispirited in battle.
