'''Fallen Champions''' are the leaders of groups of [[Fallen Angels]], and are usually [[Cypher|Cypher's]] most trusted contemporaries and compatriots. As the elites of the renegade members of the [[Dark Angels|First Legion]], Fallen Champions are masters at subterfuge, escaping, [[Just As Planned]], and [[Troll|pissing off the Unforgiven]]. Fallen Champions often school their fellow [[Fallen]] brethren on ways to avoid capture by the Dark Angels and provide a form of cohesive leadership for the Fallen. They can be seen as an equivalent of the vanilla [[Space Marine]] Captain and their skills throughout their long history are peerless, save for a few specialists and other exemplars.

During the events of Gathering Storm, Cypher and his cohorts of Champions and underlings, freed [[Roboute Guilliman|Grandpa Smurf]] from being turned into [[Kairos Fateweaver|Kairos Fateweaver's]] personal bitch on board a [[Blackstone Fortress]]. They along with the [[Harlequins]] escorted the [[Primarch]] and his forces into [[Holy Terra]] itself. Unfortunately for the Fallen, Big Bobby G [[Not as Planned|actually double crossed Cypher's forces cause Girlyman was suspicious of the]] [[Lion El'Jonson|mysterious sword that Cypher was holding.]] Sure enough, Cypher managed to [[Wat|escape the most heavily defended planet in the entire galaxy that is filled with]] [[Adeptus Custodes|the Emperor's finest,]] due to him being 40k's Houdini (he left the rest of the Fallen to rot).

As group leaders, Fallen Champions are equipped with high quality gear rivaling that of their [[Dark Angels|loyal but equally suspicious brethren.]] A Fallen Champion may replace his [[Bolt Pistol]] and/or Close Combat Weapon with a [[Lightning Claws|Lightning Claw]], [[Power Weapon]] or [[Power Fist]]. A Fallen Champion can also take [[Melta Bomb]]s. The Fallen Champion may also replace one weapon with a [[Combi-weapon]] ([[Combi-Flamer|Combi-flamer]], [[Combi-Melta|Combi-melta]] or [[Combi-Plasma|Combi-plasma]]) or a [[Plasma Pistol]]. They also wear more newer and modern power armour such as either the [[Mark IV: Maximus Armour]] or the [[Mark VII: Aquila Armour]]

In tabletop proper however, Fallen Champions are squad leaders in groups of Fallen. They also share their name with a formation choice, which consists of 1-3 groups of Fallen as well as Cypher.
