===Troops===
The vast bulk of the Lost and the Damned stems from the twisted and zealous denizens of the [[Daemon World]]s. Gross [[mutants]], fierce [[beastmanbeastmen]] and primitive tribesmen alike seek to fight on faraway worlds for the glory and benevolence of their masters.
Among the better armed and slightly saner troops are imperial outlaws: pirates, mercenaries, [[Chaos Cult|cultists]] and military deserters who have turned from their [[Emperor]] and fled from imperial justice. Occasionally entire companies, or even regiments of the [[Imperial Guard]] turn to Chaos, and take with them their vehicles and armoury. These traitors have not yet lost their skills due to madness, forming a hardened and reliable core amongst the slavering hordes of the Lost and Damned.
