Axes of the Forge
| |||
The Axes of the Forge are a Fleet Based World Eaters Warband.[1]
History
They maintain a symbiotic relationship with the Khorne Thralls of the Eightfold Cog Dark Mechanicum Cult, which has been beneficial for both sides. The Warband for their part protects the Eightfold Cog and provides the Cult with technological spoils and slaves from the Axes' raids. The Eightfold in return provides the Warband with ammunition, equipment, repairs, modifications and sacrifices the slaves in their creation of Khorne Daemon Engines. These Engines are then given to the Warband or kept by the Eightfold, who are always of need of more slaves to create additional Daemon Engines.[1]
This has resulted in the Axes launching countless slave raids in order to find worthy souls for the Cult to sacrifice to the Blood God. The Eightfold are also aided in the creation of the Daemon Engines by their enslaved Sorcerers, who are kept line with Collars of Khorne and other anti-psyker technologies the Cult has created to keep them prisoners. This technology has been given to the Axes as well and the Warband has since made extensive use of it.[1]
During the Nachmund Rift War, the Axes of the Forge were part of Haarken Worldclaimer's warhost.[2]
