INTRODUCTIONThe Lost and The Damned are warbands of treacherous renegades, deserters, mercenary scum, misguided rebels, traitors, rebelling slaves, pirates, mutants, and here�cs. They are corrupted and controlled by their cruel Chaos Space Marine and Daemon masters. Living only for the next raid, they pose a constant threat from within the heart of the Imperium.

ARMY SPECIAL RULESAmbi� onRival commanders soon turn to treachery and murder to solve their diff erences. Fortunately for the damned, there are always ambi� ous Traitor Marines ready to use a group of fools as their own personal cannon fodder, and lead them into ba� le.

One H.Q. slot must either be fi lled with Aspiring Champions Of Chaos, or remain empty. Any Aspiring Champions may be split off from their unit and assigned to lead any friendly squad. This is done during deployment. From then onward, any Aspiring Champions count as a part of the unit they join for all intents and purposes and thus do not yield addi� onal Kill Points.

Daemonic SummoningSome� mes the raids and riots of traitorous renegades are only a prelude to a full scale daemonic incursion. Unwi� ng fools carry icons surging with hidden power.

Units taken from Codex: Daemons must start the game in reserve, but are not split up into two cohorts. Daemons can only enter play if the fi rst model deep striking is within 6” of a Chaos Icon. The Icon must be either of Chaos Glory or match the same chaos diety. Roll for sca� er as normal. See below for rules regarding Greater Daemons.

PossessionSome leaders are hollow shells of their former selves, their souls having been devoured by a warp predator.

When a Greater Daemon of any kind is taken from either Codex: Chaos Space Marines or Codex: Daemons, it must enter play from reserves, through Possession. Write down a specifi c character model, chosen from H.Q., to serve as host. This may be an Aspiring Champion. You may keep the host’s iden� ty a secret. When the Daemon becomes available it will take the place of the host model, killing the character. The host cannot begin the game in reserve. If the host dies before the daemon arrives, the daemon enters immediately in place of the dead model. The host will no longer count for kill points unless the a� ached Greater Damon is killed too. (Refer to Codex: Chaos Space Marines, pg. 61 for guidance.)

ScavengersA Lost and The Damned army is usually opera� ng without organized support. Either they are a desperate band living from raid to raid, or part of a larger horde that is indiff erent to the needs of its troops. Scavenging is the only way the warband can survive and rearm itself. Even when equipment and vehicles can be looted, it is another problem to fi nd clear minds amongst the rabble. It is usually only amongst groups of traitor Imperial Guardsmen and hardened mercenary thugs that anyone can be found to operate and repair the technology. Once a looted vehicle is fi xed up and func� oning with a crew, the next challenge is to keep inept, groping mutants and luna� cs out of the crew compartments.

A Lost and the Damned army may not include more vehicles in it than units of Traitors.

UNIT SPECIAL RULESUnits from this codex uses the following special rules. (These are marked with a * within the unit entries.)

DaemonkinDaemonkin units are touched by the warp, and aff ected by enemy weapons or special abili� es as if they are Daemons.

MindlessModels that are mindless never count as scoring units, although they can s� ll contest objec� ves as normal.

Sacrifi ceWhen leading a squad, a character with this ability may re-roll a leadership check by removing a squad member of your choice as a casualty. If this check is failed, the character takes a wound as he is shot, knifed, or bi� en in the back (armor saves apply).

Spawn Movement• During the movement phase, roll 1D6 for each unit of Chaos Spawn or Giant Chaos Spawn as it moves, and use the chart below:

1-2: Move 2D6” in the direc� on of a sca� er die (Do not move on a hit result) 3-4: Move 2D6” towards closest enemy unit 5-6: Move up to 2D6” in any direc� on

(Giant Chaos Spawn only move 1D6” when using this table)

• During the Shoo� ng Phase, Chaos Spawn may run normally.• During the Assault Phase, Chaos Spawn must charge if possible, but you may determine the target unit or units.

Warp-SpawnedAny � me a Warp-Spawned unit par� cipates in a winning assault and all enemy models were killed, you may add a new model of the same basic type as the unit. Put the model in base contact with the unit, and at least 1” away from enemy models. If there is no room or you do not have a suitable model do not place a model.

ALLIESALLIED UNITSThe Lost and the Damned Army List can incorporate allied units from other codexes, as described below.

Units taken from Codex: Imperial Guard cannot take advantage of the special rules for orders, as traitors are too undisciplined and untrained.

Units taken from Codex: Daemons must start the game in reserve, but are not split up into two cohorts. Daemons can only enter play if the first model deep striking is within 6” of a Chaos Icon. The Icon must be either of Chaos Glory or appropriate tRoll for sca�er as normal. Note that this is more restric�ve and risky than the normal method for daemons entering play.

• (Troops) Conscripts (from Infantry Platoon)• (Troops) Penal Legion• (Troops) Veteran Squad• (Fast A�ack) Rough Riders• (Fast A�ack) Sen�nel (single vehicle)• (Fast A�ack) Armored Sen�nel (single vehicle)• (Fast A�ack) Hellhound variant (single vehicle)• (Heavy Support) Leman Russ variant (single vehicle)• (Heavy Support) Ordnance variant (single vehicle)

SPECIAL UNITSAddi�onally, for every full 500 points of the force, a Lost and the Damned army may include one special allied unit selected from below.

MODELINGLet your imagina�on run wild with this army! You can create your own themed armies using parts from many different kits, or even sculpt your own details.

• Don’t feel too restricted by the army list. For example, mutants are listed as being armed with a laspistol and close combat weapon, but this is open to interpreta�on when modeling. They could be holding an autopistol, shotgun, ork slugga, scratch built blunderbuss, or no firearm at all (maybe they spit acid or throw bombs).

• Mutants are fun and generally easy to make. Plas�c glue will hold odd parts together well and gives a good working �me to get a pose right. With a clippers, hobby knife or razor you can get a flat edge on any bit, which will make gluing easier. For muta�ons: mix and match parts from different kits. You can make tentacles from green stuff, wire, twisty �es or bits. Fine sand or sta�c grass can be used as a texture or to cover a bad join or area with no detail. Try using limbs of different sizes on the same model, and don’t forget to mix up which heads you are using.

• Old, outdated or poorly detailed models can make excellent bodies and legs for mutants, just a�ach some extra arms and heads. You can cover up big gaps or poor details with bags, ammo, knives, or other bits.

• For tricky joins and advanced modeling a two-part epoxy clay should be used, such as Green Stuff. Some�mes for a join I will use a small amount of superglue on each surface with some Green Stuff in between.

• Forgeworld makes some excellent Renegade Guard models. I have also had good luck swapping in heads made from a company called Pig Iron Produc�ons. Ebay auc�ons of broken or miscellaneous bits can also be a good source for adding diversity.

• Conver�ng Imperial Guard vehicles can be as simple as a�aching the bits from the Chaos vehicle sprues to regular hulls, or as elaborate as your imagina�on and bits box allows.

THE NECROMUNDAN 23rd

The Necromundan 23rd started as a regiment of gangers and hive workers pressed into service. Men were badly needed in the sector and the standards for gene�c purity were lowered, and many subtle muta�ons made it past the screeners. The recruits were used to a life of violent brutality, but the gangers despised their freedom being taken away. Insubordina�on, gang feuds and stolen supplies were a constant problem. Dozens of sergeants and three commissars were discovered murdered. Lord Commissar VunHeklu was dispatched to enforce discipline. Summary execu�ons were held for the worst offenders, and the Commanding Officer was publicly hung as a traitor. Everyone in the regiment from the lowest grunts to the highest officers lived in fear of the firing squad, or death by a sudden bolt pistol shot to the head. A�er a shaky order was imposed, VunHeklu was called away to another sector and Vezz Dragasta was appointed Commander.

The 23rd had not completed their enroute training aboard their transport ship, but were dispatched to their scheduled warzone anyways. They fought against pirates who had seized the Jonvok asteroid mining opera�ons. The in-experienced grunts who began life as laborers fell prey to pirate ambushes and traps, while the more savvy gangers were generally able to survive. Unbeknownst to the 23rd’s officers, at the end of the conflict many pirates donned looted Necromundan uniforms and mixed themselves in with the regiment. The 23rd had completed their assignment but their numbers were depleted.

Commander Dragasta was ordered to report to a new world to fight against an Ork invasion on Ble�’s World, although his regiment was seriously depleted. He turned to recrui�ng beastmen laborers from the Jonvok colonies to replenish his ranks. When the 23rd arrived at Ble�’s World Dragasta was met by an Inquisitor, and subsequently ordered by his superiors to execute all mutants and here�cs within his unit. Dragasta knew that to comply would destroy his already shaken regiment through further infigh�ng. He desperately pleaded his case, but was demoted and once again given the order. He agreed this �me, but it was a lie.

Dragasta met with some of his more devious advisors, a former Delaque gang leader named Kurgan the Younger and a former Goliath leader named Slaughter. The three of them devised a plan to steal a space going vessel and escape the Imperium. Kurgan and Slaughter snuck into a sec�on of the spaceport that was poorly guarded, silently murdering sentries and plan�ng explosive charges. Dragasta ordered his men to approach as far as possible but they were stopped by dozens of Adeptus Arbites. The signal was given and the 23rd opened fire on the Arbites. The charges were detonated from inside the spaceport, disabling cri�cal defenses and sensory arrays. Dragasta orderd ar�llery barrages to cover his flanks and moved his men aboard the largest vessel they could find. Imperial response to their treachery was swi�, and only a small segment of the regiment escaped with the cruiser. Dragasta saw the slower of his units gunned down by Imperial Fist marines as the cruiser lurched into space.

The 23rd now fights for survival in a hos�le universe. They will raid any place where food, fuel, and arms can be looted. Having turned renegade there is no going back. Other guardsmen or civilians are gunned down without hesita-�on. Mutants are freely accepted into the force if they can take an order and have the strength to kill. Since their escape the 23rd have since fallen under the sway of the Word Bearers, who cynically use the regiment as both cul�sts for their rituals and “meat shields” in their conquests. Morale and hierarchy are maintained by Kurgan, who lives in the shadows to listen for plots and execute disloyal fools. He selects former gang leaders and pirate captains as sergeants. Chaos is openly worshipped by the devout in the regiment, although most do not understand the cause they are figh�ng for. The more fervent believers are inducted into a cult: The Brotherhood of the Yellow Eye. Brothers are always the first to eat or claim loot, and answer only to Dragasta, now their spiritual leader.

MORE TO COME...I will be adding more art, army photos, backgrund, and special characters.

If you have any feedback or ideas for units to include, please let me know.

I am also looking for people to help playtest the list.

Thanks to all those who have taken the �me to give feedback.
