Khorne Warband
Sample warband generation 1.
I choose to use the Chaos Renegades profile table, and my patron will be Khorne.
- First roll 64 – Human
- Second roll 91 – Rogue Trader
There is no current profile for a Rogue Trader but an Inquisitor can be regarded as similar enough.
| WS | BS | S | T | W | I | A | Ld | Sv | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rogue Trader | 4 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 4 | 3 | 10 | 4+ |
| Unit Type: Infantry (Character) | |||||||||
| Special Rules: Independent Character, Stubborn | |||||||||
Starting Gift – the original Gift for Khorne followers is a suit of Chaos Armour, but per the current Codex: Chaos Space Marines this is replaced by the Mark of Khorne, which grants the Rage and Counter Attack special rules.
Starting Attribute roll 645 – Mindless
This is not a good roll since it automatically turns my Champion into Chaos Spawn. I will re-roll.
Re-roll Attribute roll 522 – Irrational Fear
How many things D6 – 1 = 1
Extent D6 – 5 = Fear +2/Terror
What? D100 – 12 = GM’s choice – I’ll choose some race after I’ve found out what is in his starting warband
In the current rules, he’ll be subject to the Fear special rule with a Ld modifier of -2. (But the modifier is cancelled out by his Stubborn rule).
Renegade Follower Table roll 1 – 53 – 2D6 Humans
Count = 6
These will use the normal Imperial Guard profile

They have Flak armour, Lasgun, CCW, Frag grenades.
One gets to roll on the Heavy Weapons table – 56 = Multi-laser
Renegade Follower Table roll 2 – 51 – 2D6 Humans
Count = 7
As above.
One gets to roll on the Heavy Weapons table – 12 = Heavy Bolter
Renegade Follower Table roll 3 – 32 – 2D6 Coven Members
Count = 7
These are best treated as Cultists, though as stated in Slaves to Darkness they have no starting equipment. Instead they get to roll for Chaos Attributes.

StD says “up to the patron power’s number of attributes”. Khorne’s number is 8, so up to 8. I interpret “up to” as meaning I can roll each one and stop when I am satisfied with the models.
Coven attribute roll 1 – 225 = Bulging Eyes
Appearance only – no rules effect
Coven attribute roll 2 – 960 = Warp Frenzy
_This is quite a complex rule which depends on Frenzy which doesn’t exist in the current ruleset, and adding more Attributes_. A simple way to represent this is to give the Coven Members some of the Chaos Spawn rules – Fear, D6 Attacks, Rage, Mutated Beyond Reason
Coven attribute roll 3 – 965 = Warty Skin
+1 to Armour Save Handy since they didn’t have any armour
Coven attribute roll 4 – 219 = Brightly Patterned Skin
Appearance only – no rules effect
Coven attribute roll 5 – 139 = Bestial Face
Roll D10 – 1 = Face of Patron’s beast – choose Fleshhound or Dog
Either way gives +1 A but guess what, we already replaced 1A with D6 so let’s leave it at that.
Final stats:
