  • Warhammer 40,000 armies. Granted, the setting is swimming in Black and Gray Morality. Also, these are from the Imperium's point of view. They may not be good guys, but they are the "main characters," so to speak.
  • And the same, but for the Warhammer Fantasy setting. Though if one accepts the theory that the Horned Rat is a lesser Chaos God and removes the Orcs and Vampire Counts it can be made a lot neater, since those two have no real connection to Chaos.
  • Let's not forget the principal Five-Bad Band of the franchise, the Chaos Gods. Well, four. Depending on who you ask.
    • In addition, the other characters on the New Phyrexia side fit this as well:
** Martian Menace
The Big Bad Deimos-9
The Dragon Phobos-7
The Brute Tharsis-5
The Evil Genius Galaxius-4
The Dark Chick Ares Mothership
** Lords of Cthul
The Big Bad Cthugrosh
