The Echvehnurth were a Chaos-tainted rebellious human military force encountered during the Great Crusade.

They wore pink silk robes and silvered breastplates engraved with their symbols, entwined reeds and crocodilia. Instead of banners, their formations trailed kites. They possessed forms of armoured fighting vehicles, as well as firearms, but preferred to fight with a pattern of polearm called a Falx. Their most notable weaponform was known by the Imperials as 'air-magick', and appeared as a multi-coloured hailstorm, with each falling pellet having notable explosive and penetrative power. This 'air-magick' was powerful enough to damage even Titans, and made Imperial air-power unusable. It transpired that 'air-magick' was a Chaos-derived weapon.
