Daemon Brutes are types of Daemon first seen during the Horus Heresy.[1]
These hulking creatures of twisted muscle and sharpened bone act as the vanguard of the Daemonic horde, breaking the fragile ranks of mortal armies and serve as a bulwark for the smaller minions of Chaos that follow in their wake. Each of these monsters towers over even Space Marines and is capable of shrugging aside Bolter shells as if they were mere irritations.[1]
