History
While being led by Mahaur the Harvester, the Slaughterkin laid waste to the three worlds of the Hreidmal Cluster; as well as an Administratum tithe-fleet that had arrived afterwards, seeking to claim a tally of lives and produce from the Cluster[1a]. The Harvester also led them to strike out against the Imperium on the Agri World Kerrack, when he created the Charnel Cult from the world's population and soon instigated a wide scale rebellion. The Warband later took part in the fighting when the Imperium's forces arrived to put down the rebellion, but disaster struck as the Star Phantoms Chapter arrived in Kerrack's orbit. The Space Marines soon launched a devastating assault on the Slaughterkin's stronghold on Kerrack; which resulted in the death of Mahaur and the now leaderless Warband being driven off of the Agri World. Without their continued presence, the Imperium was able to end the rebellion and reclaim Kerrack.[1b]
The Slaughterkin later appeared during the Blood Crusade.[2]
Ossific Rites
The Ossific Rites is a blasphemous ritual conducted by the Slaughterkin[1c], which they conduct after wiping out a world's population in an attack. The Rites involve the Slaughterkin severing the heads of all of their victims and then using them to create great towering obelisks, to show their devotion to Khorne, before the Warband leaves the devastated world. They seem to be able to sense, if anyone tries to destroy the obelisks and will return to their location to kill the blasphemers and repair any damage done to them.[1a]
