Bones of wraiths? Never understood the appeal of novelty dice but whatever.
Plaguedad's cool though.

THE WARBAND IS NOT FREQUENTLY BLESSED, BUT IT IS *SEEN*! THE FAITHFUL ARE FEW, AND THEY ARE KNOWN, AND THEIR ACTIONS ARE PLEASING TO THE GODS! THEY ARE ON THE CUSP OF GREATNESS, PASSING BEYOND THE MERE AND MEAGRE REALMS OF MORTALITY, INTO THE INFINITE OF THE WARP!

Why are you doing this user?
Thomas Ross
>Uses cultists within the war band who show the appropriate fervor and potential for a Champion of Chaos (Note: If the result: “No cultists, only Marines,” was received in the Build of War band table, ignore this result and reroll)

>The Champion single-handedly wiped out the warband of a rival Chaos God (reroll if the Chapter is unaligned, Undivided, or following a lesser deity).
BEHOLD, WE HAVE SCRYED NEW SERVANTS OF CHAOS!
THEIR BLESSED ARE FEW, BUT FAITHFUL! THEY SERVE NURGLE, WHO HAS BLIGHTED THEIR FORMS WITH DEADLY PROTRUSTIONS TO SHIELD THEM IN COMBAT! THEY HAVE NO HOME, THEY STRIKE EVERYWHERE AND NOWHERE, FROM SECRET! FEW SPACE MARINES FIGHT AMONG THEM, MOSTLY THEY ARE CULTISTS, WHO VIE AMONG ONE ANOTHER TO EARN THE RIGHT OF APOTHEOSIS INTO CHAOS SPACE MARINES AND CHAOS CHAMPIONS!
THEY FIGHT IN CLOSE COMBAT STORMING THE FIELD IN THE DEAFENING BUZZ OF FLY WINGS, WHILE THEIR SORCEROUS LEADER SPEWS THE CORRUPTIVE MIASMA OF THE WARP BEHIND THEM! THIS GREAT BINDER OF THE ARCANE DESTROYED AN ENTIRE RIVAL WARBAND DEDICATED TO TZEENTCH, NURGLES GREAT ENEMY! A SORCERER AGAINST TZEENTCH! THE IRONY! THE AUDACITY! IT IS ARROGANT AND IT IS BOLD AND IT IS WONDERFUL!
BEHOLD THEM, THESE PROUD SERVANTS OF CHAOS, AND WONDER NOW AT THE TRUTH OF THEM!
The floor is open for discussion

Are you using path to glory to generate this? I've never looked intensively at it or anything similar so I can't tell immediately.
Oh I've actually looked this over before and didn't even recognize it. Thanks
Kayden Wilson
If they're low in number, but widespread they need some way of actually organizing and traveling. The mutations more or less preclude normal means of travel. They fight to earn the right to be CSM but have few actual CSM in their ranks.
They're the remnants of a SM fleet. Most, if not all, of the Astartes are dead and the warband is descended from the surviving Chapter serfs who crewed the vessels. That allows them to easily traverse the stars, but they can't really use a lot of the weaponry on the ships as it's all designed for Space Marines.
Aaron Thompson
Their leader is a necromancer who enhances their number with zombies. The human cultists are more like Ghouls, if you're familiar with WHFB ghouls. Not true undead, but stricken and diseased men with a hunger for flesh, swift and debased. The greatest among these rise to become Space Marines, who become their few ranged elites.
It doesn't really specify they're few in number, just that there are few marines and many cultists. They could be numerous or few.
They could be, if we take your idea, whats left of a decimated Space Marine chapter, and the Sorcerer is a former Librarian who turned to the lord of death and necromancy to save his chapter from dissolution - raising up the dead, and preserving the living in stagnation for all eternity.
Easton Lee
So the cultist-ghouls become swole Horror-like marines after being gifted by their patron?
Bentley Gray
Yes. They start out as Lanklets and become SWOLE.
Nicholas Myers
The leader is actually the cherubim psy-familiar of the Chapter's deceased Librarian, it's simplistic brain permanently etched with the Librarian's final psychic emissions that drew Nurgle's attention to the fleet remnants. Between the psychic imprint and the corruption of Chaos it has grown into a cunning, if low intelligence that parasitizes psyker slave hosts to expand its powers and intellect with it's mutated cybernetic body.
David Hughes
The path to SWOLE is a dangerous and arduous one. Many lack the conviction to even try beyond lip service, of those that do are crushed under the weight of their goals, bones snapping and muscles torn clean. Some seek a shortcut through hideous drugs and foul tinctures, only to be warped beyond recognition into monsters of tumorous muscle.
Luis Hughes
Now I kinda wanna fluff out a competing Chapter and Warband, who both represent the different sides of Swole, with the Space Marines repping good diet and exercise and remembering leg day, and the Chaos Marines using drugs and sorcery for maximum gains
Jonathan Perez
An inversion of "The flesh is weak" sounds kind of amusing
Grayson Nelson
I think there's at least one Admech splinter like that in the Fantasy Flight books, from the Lathe World supplements
