Fluff
The Barons of Madness were members of a Raven Guard Space Marines Chapter Company who had half of the Company sucked into the Warp during a battle against the Thousand Sons. The Space Marines thrown into the Warp, about fifty strong, became mentally sick, developing schizophrenia, extreme paranoia, megalomania, and psychosis, along with the physical mutations caused by prolonged exposure to the Warp. The Chaos god, Khorne, took advantage of the Raven Guard Space Marines and twisted their minds to cause them to believe that he himself was the Emperor of Mankind and began using their delusions as false visions to bend them to his will. Over time he realized that the Space Marines were already driven well over the edge of sanity and revealed himself to them with his true name, as expected, it changed nothing but the name of the voice that they followed and the former Raven Guard Space Marines were renamed as the Barons of Madness. One among them, an egotistical megalomaniac who was severely mutated by the Warp and had become infamous for rallying the other Chaos Space Marines to his cause with visions of grandeur and untold amounts of wealth and glory named Atellus the Magnificent, was blessed by Khorne and given rule over the Barons of Madness as long as he would give a befitting sacrifice of blood with the gift Khorne had given him.
