This is for the RPG, not the apocalypse-style crusades by Chaos.
Black Crusade is the fourth Fantasy Flight Games Warhammer 40,000 Role-Playing Game, and it's main focus is the forces of Chaos, like cultists and the Traitor Legions.
This is the exact opposite of the earlier books in every way. Even the Human characters in Black Crusade are considerably more powerful than those from previous games, able to receive powerful mutations and game changing blessings. The Chaos Space Marines are even more powerful, having the benefits available to human heretics as well as the ridiculous abilities of space marines, with weaponry ranging from rune swords to daemonic bolters and reaper autocannons. Alignment often leads to extremely interesting role-playing as well.
One of its greatest features is encouraging competition between players, often by making the personal goals of their characters mutually exclusive, thus mirroring the climate of a chaos warband. This can go very right, or oh so wrong.
