(Note: I've ported this faction more or less directlyfrom the 40k forum so to fully understand this faction requires some knowledge of the wh40k universe,mostly regarding the eye of terror and the chaos gods,for that I'll refer you to these urls: wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Eye_of_Terror

I'll add characters if the faction gets approved.)
Faction name: Fallen company
Emblem:
Leader: Varl
Members: N/A
Homeworld: Cadia
Technology: Mostly salvaged imperial tech but has no qualms with utilising alien tech whenever it is avalable to them.
Culture: Fallen company has long since abandoned imperial faith in the same way that the imperium abandoned them.
Mission: Fallen company has but one goal; Survival. and if that means shooting their way through hordes of innocents and working for the nastiest bastard going then so be it.
Ships: A lone inquisitor class assualt ship,obtained under less than innocent circumstances
Military stationed on Nu Earth: a mere 6 individuals make up Fallen company
Base Name: N/A
Base Description: Fallen company operates out of their space vessel when on missions
History: When the troop vessel ferrying the Cadian 207th was sabotaged within the eye of terror those aboard had a simple choice face almost certain death on one of the daemon infested planets surrounding them or wait for the ship to tear itself apart,as can be expected they chose the former and staged an emergency landing on a fringe planet cursed with the attention of Slaanesh.There they held out for several months waiting for rescue which never came.The unfortunate guardsmen belonging to the 207th that hadn't fallen to the dark powers surrounding them and hadn't been cut down by the maddened cultists that inhabited the planet had their dreams plagued with the flagrant eroticism that could only be attributed to Slaanesh,every waking moment clouded by unrelenting fantasies. Then the changes began, subtle at first, every guardsman had things they'd like to change about themselves; just that inch taller or a slightly fairer complexion, however these changes became more dramatic as Slaanesh had it's cruel way with them and shaped them into the images hidden within the darkest corners of their minds,most finally succumbed to the power of Slaanesh. Out of the 1000 men that made up the regiment only 6 survived; those of 2nd squad 3rd platoon 6th company their bodies may have been twisted and reformed at the whim of Slaanesh but their souls were protected by the unknown gift of one of their squad members, damaged but not lost. how the few survivors managed to escape the planet is unclear but it is believed that they managed to escape via an unsuspecting tau expedition which had hoped to salvage the imperial vessel to increase their understanding of imperial tech,which would explain how 'Fallen company' found themselves in the damocles gulf where they began their mercenary careers working under the table for both the tau empire and the occasional desperate planetary governer at different times.Given the extent of the mutations Fallen company have suffered it is no surprise that it is hard for them to find work within the imperium however little can match several months on a daemon world to hone ones combat skills and Fallen company's reputation continues to grow with each daring mission completed,this has had both positive and negative effects in that their reputation allows them to charge top penny for their services on the other hand it has also brought them to the attention of the Ordo Hereticus who seem to treat them with only a passing interest as they have far more serious threats to destroy,a small inqusitional task force was once deployed to eliminate them but mysteriously vanished,similarly the forces of chaos also show considerable interest in them,hoping either to sacrifice them to their chosen gods or return Slaanesh's reluctant play things.
The most bitter-sweet part of Fallen company's existence is their immortality,all of it's members other than Praeturn are doomed to haunt the stars for all eternity, the final and cruelest joke Slaanesh gifted them.
