In the table-top wargame Warhammer 40,000, The Lost and the Damned are one of the forces of Chaos. They consist of the scum of the Galaxy - traitors, heretics, cultists, mutants and other horrors too numerous to comprehend, such as the insane Chaos Spawn. Often it is the Imperial Guard that turn from His divining light to the darkness of the Forces of Chaos and so consequently they make up the bulk of the Lost and the Damned, providing the firepower and led into battle by mighty Aspiring Champions - Space Marines who turned traitor millenia ago during the Horus Heresy. Often entire companies of Guardsmen turn to Chaos, and take with them their vehicles, such as the Basilisk and the mighty Leman Russ. Mutants also make up the bulk of their armies, with many disturbing and disgusting mutations adorning their once-human bodies. Chaos Space Marines lead them into battle, and accompanied by the monstrouous Defiler, the Lost and the Damned are a deadly foe to face.
