Symbol of the Cult of the Pauper Princes

The Cult of the Pauper Princes is one of the six Genestealer Cults documented by the Ordo Xenos.^[1] The Cult is among the most powerful of the Genestealers, with presences on over fifteen planets and membership numbering in the billions.^[4]

The Pauper Princes have all but taken over the slum world of Chancer’s Vale. Such is the deprivation and abject poverty of this world that many of its people turned to worship of the cult – not because they were forced to by coercion or the Genestealer’s Kiss, but because they are desperate for a way off-planet. The promises of Magus Marovitch Tenndarc saw swathes of the world’s populace united in their devotions to the Star Savior, in truth the Cult's Patriarch.^[1]

Cult of the Pauper Princes took part in the War of Beasts on the planet of Vigilus in M42.^[3a] Sub-faction of this cult on Vigilus included The Devoted Sons^[2], the Writhing Wyrm,^[3a] the Claw of the Thirsting Wyrm,^[3b] and many others.^[3c]
