Inspired by the Space Marine Chapter Creation Tables from Fantasy Flight Games' Deathwatch Roleplaying Game, these tables are for generating a warband of Cultists, Traitor Imperial Guard, and Chaos Space Marines. If you're looking to make a CSM-only Warband, check out the Chaos Space Marine Warband Creation Tables.

Warband's Alignment and Blessings

Chaos Allegiance	D100 Roll
Chaos Undivided	1-30
Lesser God (Ex. Malice)	31-40
Nurgle	41-54, 77
Slaanesh	55-69 (Hehehe~)
Khorne	70-84, 88 (except for 77)
Tzeentch	85-100 (except for 88)

Blessings of the Gods

Frequency of Blessings	D100 Roll
None: The war band has not garnered significant attention of any of the deities of chaos and thus receive no blessings	1-10
Low: A Champion or a group of individuals within the war band have committed deeds worthy of recognition by the gods of chaos and have received	11-45
Moderate: The war band regularly has individuals within whom are capable of garnering the attention and blessings of the gods	46-85
High: Every deed, every thought, every word spoken is done in the name of chaos. The war band is highly active and effective, constantly attracting the attention of the gods. Most, if not all, of the war band has received some sort of blessing	86-100

Common Blessings	D100 Roll
“Aesthetic”: Physical deformities that give nothing to the individuals other a change in looks. It could be possibly a set of short horns, useless tentacle appendages, a third eye, etc.	1-50
Deadly Protrusions: Once again, these take the form of physical deformities, however, these deformities serve a purpose in combat. With mutations such as spiked limbs, sharp fangs, large horns, etc. the blessed ones are even more deadly in close combat.	51-60
Heightened senses: Those blessed with heightened senses are made significantly much more aware of their surroundings.	61-70
Servants of the Warp: Warp spawned creatures are given to the blessed as utterly loyal servants. These can be anything from a hound of chaos, to chaos spawn, to a familiar.	71-75
Spawn-hood: The Gods are uncaring, any attention from them they consider to be a gift, even if it is sorely unwanted. The war band suffers from having many of the blessed becoming spawn or on the path to becoming one.	76-80
Weapons of Chaos: The blessed of the war band have been given much war gear infused with chaos one way or another. This may take form in daemon weapons, artifacts of chaos, blessed/cursed armor, etc.	81-90
The Eye that sees Beyond: The Gods have granted those who have gained their attention with an additional that can see into the Warp allowing them to communicate directly to daemons and makes summoning daemons significantly easier. For psykers, the eye allows them greater access and control over warp spawned magic.	91-98
Daemonhood: The most revered of all gifts, it is rarely dispensed upon those who gain the favor of the gods, saved only for those who commit aspiring deeds worthy of legend in the name of chaos. The War band is fortunate as they have committed such deeds and those who are blessed are either daemon princes, or well upon the path to daemonhood	99-100

Recruits from worlds that are fully under the control of Chaos and out of reach of the Imperium	51-65
