Editing Black Crusade (section)

==Minor Black Crusades==
While Abaddon is the favored son of [[Chaos]]; several other Chaos leaders, like [[Chaos Lord|Chaos Lords]], [[Sorcerer|Sorcerers]] or [[Daemon Prince|Daemon Princes]] have launched their own Black Crusades. Usually, these minor crusades will be launched from a coalition of sorts between several chaos warbands, as few have the resources needed to launch them on their own (Think about Marines, heretics, tanks, daemon engines numbering in the hundreds of thousands and a [[Titan (Warhammer 40,000)|Titan]] or several). However, those who have them (like Abaddon, some Daemon Princes or VERY successful Lords like maybe [[Huron Blackheart]]) also have the benefit of a centralized command and honor no pact to an external force, which sometimes lead to a more successful campaign.

These engagements pale in comparison with Abaddon's but they're far greater than your average saturday-night chaos raid. These conflicts can reach anywhere from sub-sectors, whole sectors or several; depending of the objectives or ambition of the one who put themselves in charge (usually by skullbashing) and the bloodlust of his troops. Regardless, these "minor" Black Crusades are awful events (save for Chaos, obviously) that see billions dead and war at great scale, to the point that even [[Space Marines|Astartes]]' plot armor barely make it and many forces are drawn into the meat grinder to halt them. However they're usually halted, or not. It depends of the mood of the gods or the importance the Militarum Command puts on them.

To finish: [[Campaign|Have you ever played a multi-game or map campaign with your CSM army, specially with Chaos Allies?]] [[Black Crusade (RPG)|Or you and your heretic friends thought of make some use to the tons of troops that pledged themselves to you and start a war to gain the last ounces of favor needed for Apotheosis?]] Then congrats, [[Your Dudes|you have, or are on the way to, lead your very own Black Crusade!]] Now go out there and smack some more loyalist ass, champ!
